Olivia

Eye-catching and desirable in so many different ways, this contemporary, architect-designed home is just 1.5km from family-friendly beaches, excellent amenities and an impressive choice of tavernas. With magnificent sea views from the terraces and balconies plus a delightful swimming pool, Olivia also offers attractive far reaching vistas across to the distant Albanian mountains. If you are seeking the right ingredients for a relaxing, memorable holiday then seek no further!

Contrasting nicely with the crisp, clean lines of the beige façade, landscaped flower beds and wide gravel-edged pathway sit to the front, silvery green olive trees, wild shrubs and natural countryside to the rear. Strategically positioned to one side of the house to maximise both sunshine and privacy, a part-decked sun terrace fringes the longer than average private pool.

Internally there is an inviting sense of space. Styling is smart, modern and appealingly minimalist with numerous contemporary touches in evidence, some subtle, some more obvious. Walls of soft pastel shades and cooling whitewash provide the ideal backdrop for an attractive, eclectic variety of colourful prints and objets d’art. Other features include a galleried landing, floors of wood and tile, a limed oak ceiling in one room and carefully coordinated fabrics adorning the comfortable soft furnishings.

Of particular appeal to larger families or perhaps a group of friends looking to holiday together, two independent staircases enhance privacy by giving an equal left/right distinction to the first floor, a total of four bedrooms and four bathrooms ensuring an even distribution of the sleeping accommodation and en suite facilities.

Lapped by tempting, translucent waters the gorgeous north east corner of Corfu is one of the most appealing coastlines on the island. Widely celebrated for its superb choice of sandy, family-friendly beaches (many awarded a coveted Blue Flag for quality and cleanliness) there is a superb selection to choose from within easy distance of Olivia; to the west you will find Acharavi (1.5km), Roda (1.5km) and Astrakeri (4km); to the east Almyros (3.5km), Agios Spyridonas (7km) and Apraos (7.5km). Most have beachside tavernas/bars and offer seasonal watersports such as pedalos, banana boat rides and paragliding.

A great range of tavernas as well as comprehensive amenities are all within a short distance at Roda (1.5km) and Acharavi (1km). Boat and bicycle hire are also readily available and the local Acharavi folklore museum offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into Corfu’s vibrant history.
