A luxury villa in Corfu – Helios

Villa Helios – A true luxury villa in Corfu snuggled between Kassiopi and Aghios Stefanos!

Situated on the north east of the island, Kassiopi is regularly referred to as being one of the ‘prettiest little harbours in Corfu’. Once a thriving harbour in Roman times, Kassiopi then became a quiet and subdued little fishing village, but has recently grown into a fashionable tourist resort, penetrating activity, charm and sophistication.

Not far from Kassiopi the equally as charming town of Aghios Stefanos can be found, which is famed not only for its beautiful beach that beholds some of the most stunning sunsets on Corfu and fantastic views across the sea to the Diapontian Islands, but also for its legendary fish restaurants.

Between these two captivating Corfu towns lies the villa of Helios, a spacious and stylish two bedroom, two-bathroom property that Vintage Travel thoroughly recommends.

Situated just 350 metres from the tranquil waters of Coyvenas beach, guests at Helios are faced with an arduous decision – Spend the day relaxing at Helio’s oval-shaped pool surrounded by an extensive landscaped garden bursting with colour, life and fragrance, or mosey on down to the beautiful Coyvenas beach, where mulling over whether to spend the day sunbathing, swimming or snorkelling or perhaps all three will be the only thing vexing your thoughts!

And just to add greater complication to the decision, the Blue Flag beach of Avlaki is just 600 metres away, where both sailing and windsurfing awaits you!

This truly delightful and stylish luxury villa in Corfu sleeps four and from the moment one opens the bright blue front door, and air of merriment, contemporary and light-heartedness engulfs them!

Asides a bright, airy open plan décor, Helios beholds some simply stunning views of the nearby sea and the Albanian mountains in the distance, which are there to be taken in and enjoyed on the bedrooms’ private balconies.

Meandering outside, Helio’s exterior is equally as impressive with a large sun terrace sitting adjacent to the private pool, offering some welcoming shade from the hot Corfu sun.

While Kassiopi is within walking distance of the villa – 1.5 kilometres, Agios Stefanos is just 4 kilometres away and both towns with their local delights and many a great restaurant and bar, are well worthy of a visit.

Further a field, guests can enjoy discovering the quaint yet trendy Corfu Town, which with a plethora of interesting boutiques selling unique ‘made in Corfu’ products, is a haven for shoppers!

A week’s rental of Helios starts from £1795. For more information on this excellent luxury villa in Corfu, just click on the link.
