Villa Chloris | 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Corfu Kontokali

Corfu’s northeastern coastline commands attention the moment you arrive at Villa Chloris, positioned in Kontokali where the Ionian Sea stretches toward distant mountains and the Albanian coast reveals itself on clear mornings. This contemporary three-bedroom villa sleeps eight guests in a configuration that balances privacy with communal living—a rare combination on an island where most properties force compromise. The villa’s three storeys rise through a landscape of olive groves and cypress, each level unlocking different perspectives of Kommeno Bay and the fortifications that guard Corfu Town, 7 kilometres inland.

Inside Villa Chloris

Villa Chloris sleeps 8 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The ground floor unfolds as an open-plan living and dining zone that refuses traditional compartmentalization—sofas face windows, the kitchen operates without barriers, and circulation flows seamlessly toward a covered dining terrace shaded by timber pergola. The kitchen itself carries professional-grade appliances beneath white cabinetry and wooden splashback detailing; this is the kind of cooking space where even reluctant holidaymakers find themselves volunteering for dinner duty. A wine cellar occupies dedicated climate-controlled space on this level, practical for those who take their Greek varietals seriously.

The first floor houses the master bedroom suite, where a king-size bed positions you to wake watching light traverse the sea. An accent feature wall adds textural interest without clutter; the ensuite bathroom culminates in a jacuzzi bathtub—the kind where thirty minutes evaporates without notice. A substantial furnished balcony extends the bedroom’s footprint, creating space for morning coffee before the day’s activities demand attention.

Two additional bedroom suites occupy the lower level, one configured with a double bed and the other offering twin beds for flexibility. Both rooms command views across the pool garden and benefit from identical luxury linen standards and individually appointed bathrooms. An independent studio annexe completes the accommodation picture: exposed stone walls create warmth, a kitchenette handles basic meal preparation, and a sofa bed accommodates two additional guests who may prefer semi-autonomous living arrangements or couples seeking quieter quarters.

Throughout Villa Chloris, amenities signal forethought—bathrobes hang ready, premium toiletries occupy bathroom counters, Wi-Fi reaches every corner, air conditioning regulates temperature year-round, and laundry facilities eliminate the constraint of limited clothing. A charging point for electric vehicles sits integrated into the parking arrangement. An auxiliary toilet positioned near the pool garden saves the inconvenience of indoor transitions during water-based hours.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The terrace arrangement spans multiple levels, each serving distinct purposes. An upper terrace hosts a heated hot tub that captures sunset light as the sun descends toward the Albanian mountains—the sky shifts through amber and rose before fading to indigo. Below, a swimming pool anchors the garden space, surrounded by sun loungers and shade structures that acknowledge Corfu’s summer intensity. An alfresco dining area with permanent fixtures accommodates group meals where sea air carries the scent of lemon and oregano from surrounding gardens.

Water access defines the property’s character: a private jetty extends into Kommeno Bay, mooring point for visiting boats. The villa arranges water excursions directly—kayaking and paddleboarding equipment remains accessible, enabling spontaneous morning departures toward hidden coves and underwater topography visible through crystalline water. A barbecue facility sits ready for informal evening meals, where the sound of the Ionian laps against the shoreline below.

Location: Corfu and the Surrounding Area

Villa Chloris occupies Kontokali, an area distinguished by proximity to multiple experiences without sacrificing tranquility. Gouvia, immediately adjacent and formerly a fishing settlement, maintains a working marina and preserves an intact 18th-century Venetian shipyard—tangible architectural evidence of the island’s maritime heritage. These neighbourhoods sit 7 kilometres from Corfu Town (Kerkyra), the island’s primary settlement where Venetian, French, English and Sicilian architectural influences converge in the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town. The Liston promenade and Church of Saint Spiridon anchor the town centre; maze-like streets reveal colourful bougainvillea and independent shops selling ceramics, textiles and preserved foods.

Corfu’s beach network extends beyond simple seaside recreation: Dafnila Beach lies 2.2 kilometres south, Kommeno Bay fronts the villa directly, while Kassiopi—22 kilometres northeast—combines a working harbour, Byzantine castle ruins and views toward the Albanian coast beneath Mount Pantokrator’s shadow. Paleokastritsa, 25 kilometres south, offers dramatic clifftop monasteries and emerald coves accessed by steep paths.

The Durrell House, associated with the naturalist family whose writings popularized Corfu’s biodiversity, sits within convenient reach—a cultural touchstone for those familiar with their television adaptations.

Seasonal patterns shape the Corfu experience: May through early June delivers warm weather before peak summer crowds; September and October offer continued warmth as July and August intensity subsides. The island’s olive harvest occurs November through January. Corfu International Airport (CFU) sits 2 kilometres south, approximately five minutes’ transfer time to Villa Chloris by vehicle.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families coordinating multi-generational holidays find the three-bedroom configuration with independent studio particularly effective—adult children and grandparents occupy separate zones while maintaining proximity. Groups of six to eight unrelated adults benefit from the dual-bathroom arrangement; morning routines proceed without negotiation. Couples valuing accessible yet private accommodation discover that the master suite’s balcony and ensuite jacuzzi create intimate retreat space separate from communal areas below.

Families with children appreciate the pool positioning, safety fencing typically installed around water features, proximity to shallow-water beaches at Kommeno and Dafnila, and the availability of childcare services, babysitting support, and catering arrangements that eliminate restaurant logistics. The villa’s jetty appeals to water-sports families interested in kayaking progression or paddleboarding lessons in protected bay conditions.

Professionals conducting remote work benefit from reliable Wi-Fi, dedicated work surfaces, quiet studio annexe options for focused hours, and the flexibility of working morning hours before afternoon water activities. The villa supports this lifestyle without pretension—power outlets are practical rather than decorative.
