About the home

Villa Ionia has quickly established itself as one of the premier villas in an area of outstanding natural beauty that appeals to those seeking the real greece, not a tourist version of it. Set in 1.5 acres of olive groves and cypress pine forrest the hillside setting offers un-overlooked privacy numerous walks very close at hand; some along the extensive & dramatic coastline and others through meandering footpaths and tracks in the lush hills and countryside. There are several villages nearby and Arillas has an ample choice of superb local tavernas, some along the seafront, and a few bars. The blue flag sandy beach of Arillas, with its shallow waters is only a few minutes drive away and offers a selection of water sports, boat hire and snorkeling in the clear waters Villa Ionia was designed to be spacious & comfortable whilst maximising the spectacular sea and sunset views. All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning & large balconies. All rooms, the 27ft (8 metres) square open-plan lounge kitchen dining room and all terraces face the sea.

The Ionian Islands region

Corfu or Kerkyra as it is known as in Greece is one of seven principal Ionian islands and is located partly off the North West corner of mainland Greece and just one mile at the closest point to Albania. The region enjoys long hot summers and mild winters. Temperatures in May for example generally reach the late 20's and move well into the 30's throughout June, July, August in into September. During May and September the ionian Islands are awash with floral colour. Corfu, like much of Greece has its historical routes in the ancient times. In more recent centuries the island has been ruled by many nations including, France, Russia and Britain. But it was the Venetians who left their mark most prominently. In fact Corfu town itself strongly resembles Venice (without the Gondolas and waterways) and as such is simply a must see place to visit. Corfu has been the subject of many books, paintings and stunning photography and of course a choice location for many film and television productions including the Bond feature 'For Your Eyes Only' and My Family and Other Animals. With its dramatic landscapes, turquoise and azure seas, and blanket forestation of around six million olive trees interspersed with cypress pines, the Greek Island of Corfu is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the Med and indeed in Europe.

The Corfu / Arillas area

Arillas is perfectly placed about three quarters of the way up the north west coast. It arguably enjoys the most spectacular sunsets on the island, enhanced by the three Diapontian islands on Ericoussa, Othoni an Mathraki.
This north west corner of Corfu has thankfully seen far less tourism than the East and South of the island. Agriculture still plays an important part of the locals lives so despite the beautiful views from Villa Ionia it occupies an idylic semi rural hillside location. The seas in this area are particularly clean contributing to Arillas's blue flag sandy beach.

Villa Ionia is ideally located for access to several beautiful local villages such as Afionas with its breathtaking views and wonderful cliff top walks, the beach and bay of St George, the villages of Magoulades with its monastery , Kavadades and Avliotis. There are water sports at Arillas, boat and Pedalo hire and from the next bay at St Stefanos there are regular boats departing for the local islands of Erricousa, Othoni and Mathraki. There are often local village festivals (called Panyiri), heavily attended by the locals. For a nominal sum there is food and copious amounts of good local wine. In fact in September Arillas has one to celebrate the new local wine produce and this is a particularly interesting one to attend!!!

Guestbook for VILLA IONIA

Your beautiful home is a credit to you. The views were to die for. See you again, thank you. (Amanda Carlisle)

Such a refreshing change from the other side. Felt like we had discovered Greece all over again. Relaxation is a must have when you have a hectic business life and we certainly found peace there, Villa Ionia delivers! Wonderful. (Nigel James)

At the risk of sounding cliched, we have rented a number of pretty high quality villas over the years but yours exceeded our expectations. Those views would sell if you only had a tent on the hill! Exquisite (Rachael Thornton)

(By text May 2011) Arrived safely - The villa is stunning!!!....A.B.
