Villa Mare has its own entrance onto the sand, just a few steps away from its spacious gardens with their many olive and palm trees. The beautiful azure waters of the Ionian Sea are sure to tempt you, or you can sunbathe on the sun loungers found on the house’s covered terrace. or Breakfast or drinks under the roomy beachfront gazebo comes with idyllic views of the coast.
Impressive design touches give the interior of the villa a real wow factor, with teak wooden floors and Greek marble found throughout. From the terrace, step right into the living and dining area complete with fireplace and ample seating for your relaxation. The kitchen is equipped with Nespresso machine, a huge fridge freezer and everything else you could need. The villa also comes with LCD TVs, air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
Six superb bedrooms, including two master bedrooms, come with en suite shower rooms, toiletries, hairdryers, bathrobes and slippers, and all are attractively furnished. A seventh bathroom can also be found at the villa.
With the beach just 10m away, Villa Mare couldn’t be better placed – the outdoor spaces are sure to make your experience unforgettable. Nearby Lefkimmi, a small town in the south of the island, has useful amenities such as a supermarket, bank and post office, as well as a number of restaurants.
You will be just under one hour’s drive from Corfu Town, the capital of the island. It’s well worth a visit – an interesting history reveals itself in the architecture of the atmospheric Old Town. Highlights including the Old Fortress, Spianada Square and the pretty Esplanade.A traditional small town, Lefkimmi is located in the southern part of Corfu. Surrounded by countryside, Lefkimmi hasn’t been developed for tourism and retains an old-school charm. A river runs through the town which offers a selection of restaurants and cafés, good places to try some authentic cuisine.
Local buses connect Lefkimmi to Corfu Town, one of the highlights of the island. While Lefkimmi feels unmistakably Greek, Corfu Town owes much of its character to the nations who controlled it at one time or another.
There is certainly an Italianate feel to the Old Town, while the chic café terraces of the Liston may even call to mind Paris – it was indeed built by the French. A period of British rule is credited with the curious popularity of cricket on Corfu; you may find a game going on at Spianada Square.
The Palace of St Michael and St George is a Neoclassical mansion built for the British High Commissioner in the early 19th century, which is now home to the Museum of Asian Art. Pay a visit to see works originating from Japan, China and India, among others. It’s worth going just for the café as this has a wonderful view out to sea in the direction of Albania. Other cultural highlights in town include the Municipal Gallery, Archaeological Museum and Byzantine Museum.
Corfu is big on churches, with more than 40 of them in the local area. You will probably spot the red dome of Saint Spyridon Church rising above the town. Other high points include the Venetian-built fortresses which have wonderful views over much of the island. You can walk up to the top of the Old Fortress in about 20 minutes, although the cobbled slope can be slippery, so choose your footwear accordingly.
Complete with a Victorian bandstand, water features and manicured lawns, Spianada Park is a nice spot for chilling out after you’ve exerted yourself. The largest square in Greece, the Spianada leads down to the seafront and is right by the covered café terrace of the Liston.
Other notable landmarks include the palace of Mon Repos, the birthplace of the late Duke of Edinburgh, and the grand Achillion. Built as a summer palace for Empress Elisabeth of Austria, this building stands in beautiful gardens.
Elsewhere, the island is full of unspoilt natural landscapes and wonderful beaches. The likes of Dassia, Paleokastritsa and Kavos – the latter only around 15 minutes’ drive from Lefkimmi – are reckoned to be amongst the best in Greece.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
