Enjoy a Villa Holiday in Corfu

The Greek island of Corfu is a popular tourist destination, and for good reason. The picturesque Corfu Town stands on a hill overlooking the sea and boasts beautiful architecture from the Venetian period—plus, it's only five minutes away from some spectacular beaches. And then there's all the sleepy villages and charming coastal resorts and attractive beaches in-between.

If you're looking for an unforgettable luxury villa holiday in Europe with all the comforts of home, consider renting one of our spacious villas in Corfu with a private pool.

A calm Greek island but not short of exciting adventures, you’ll be delighted by our Corfu villas with private pools, perfectly located in the middle of it all for a memorable holiday.

One point to note: when travelling to Corfu at the very start or end of the main season i.e April or end of October/November, be mindful that fewer souvenir and tourist-focused amenities will be open. However, this allows you time to discover more authentic gems and sample delicious cuisine in the local tavernas and bars that do remain open.

Here is what you need to know.

Things to do in Corfu

Corfu, Greece's northernmost island, is a beautiful mix of green mountains and long sandy beaches. The island has inspired poets and artists for generations, with its picturesque Venetian architecture, secret coves, and the mountainous interior to explore.

These are usually served with plenty of fresh bread, olives and feta cheese – all washed down with some great local wines.

Many local dishes in Corfu feature island ingredients such as fresh fish, olives, lemons and tomatoes. Corfu’s signature dish is the Sofrito – a veal fillet simmered in white wine, garlic and parsley. You’ll get a real taste of authentic Greek food when renting a villa in Corfu, whether it’s at a beachside taverna or enjoying family barbecues at your private villa.

History and Culture in Corfu

Corfu has been inhabited since the Stone Age. Over a 2,000-year period, many civilisations have left their mark on the island and its culture. In 7th century BC, Corinthians founded the ancient city of Corfu as a colony named Korkyra, which became one of the most important cities in Ancient Greece and was considered by Homer to be a source for warriors.

The island has since been occupied by Romans, Venetians, Ottomans, and the French under Napoleon during his invasion of Russia.

A villa holiday in Corfu isn’t complete without a trip to the island’s capital, Corfu Town. Immersed in history, this colourful town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is home to two Venetian Castles which dominate the stone paved, narrow streets.

The whole island is steeped in history, as Corfu has always played a significant role in military history and trading routes, meaning Mediterranean influences are present to this day. Soak up history that dates back to Roman times when you stay at one of our Kassiopi villas, where you can explore the village’s traditional harbour overlooked by a hillside Byzantine fortress.
