Home description
The position of this lovely villa will appeal to young families and couples alike given its proximity to the nearby beach and local tavernas. Located just outside the traditional village of Ermones, yet only a 3 minute drive to the beach, Villa Martini ensures guests can enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside and the many walks it has to offer, or even take in a round or two of Golf at the local course a mere stone’s throw away!
Its ‘sunshine yellow’ exterior stands out against the backdrop of the surrounding green hills and mature trees, and is complemented by the large first floor balcony that overlooks the swimming pool and lawned garden to one side of the property.From the outside, the villa looks neat and compact, but once inside, a very spacious, high ceilinged living room is revealed, with windows opening on to the side and front garden overlooking the swimming pool. Sleeping a maximum of 10 people, with two twin bedded rooms on the ground floor, two double bedded rooms (one on ground and one on first floor) and space for two more in the children’s tv room, the house is great for two small families wanting to holiday together, having their own space and privacy on separate floors of the house yet communal areas for all the family to enjoy, such as swimming pool and lawned garden.

The Ionian Islands region
Corfu is the second largest, greenest Ionian island, and also the best known. In Greek, the island's name is Kerkyra (Ker-kih-rah). It was Homer's 'beautiful and rich land', and Odysseus' last stop on his journey home to Ithaca. Shakespeare reputedly used it as a background for the 'The Tempest'. In the 20th Century, the Durrell brothers, amongst others, extolled its virtues.
With its beguiling landscape of wildflowers and cypress trees rising out of shimmering olive groves, Corfu is considered by many as Greece's most beautiful island. Rocky coves, stunning sunsets and golden sandy beaches captivate everyone that visits this Ionian jewel also known as the Emerald Island. Corfu has managed to maintain its distinct Mediterranean feel with miles of coastline for visitors to enjoy their holiday. Secret coves, deserted beaches and lively bars and discos ensure that there is something for everyone to enjoy from their holiday.
Corfu / Ermones area
Beautifully situated on the west coast south of Paleokastritsa and about 10 miles (16km) from Corfu Town, Ermones has a small beach of shingle, pebbles, sand and flat rocks for sunbathing on. A particularly large rock in the bay is said to be a pirate chief turned to stone for trying to steal a sacred icon from the local church. The nearby long golden sandy beach of Glyfada is approximately 10 minutes drive away!
The beach is organized and has a watersports and diving centre. You can rent a boat and discover the small private coves of the island’s western coast. The beach is overlooked by the Ermones Beach Hotel, from which a funicular railway operates, and the scenery makes a walk to the nearby village of Vatos delightful, although car hire is strongly recommended.
