The main house presents a blend of Venetian, Corfiot, and English influences in its architecture and decor. Entirely restored in the late 20th century, the estate offers comfortable contemporary living whilst still preserving the houses’ history and serene Mediterranean beauty.
Mature Mediterranean gardens surround the villa, and along the coastal side of the garden, the now rare Mediterranean maquis pervades the air with its scent. On the seafront, an exquisite infinity pool is surrounded by broad patios perfect for sunbathing. Pathways lead through the stands of tall trees which provide refreshing shade.
