Colours of Corfu

Find your new happy place at this impressive villa above the harbour village of Kassiopi. With blue views of the Ionian Sea and across the olive and cypress groves that reach all the way to Albania, you'll need to pinch yourself each time you step outside.

Lounge out on the daybed with your holiday read, dipping your toes in the cooling waters of the pool every now and then, before settling in for a grilled Greek feast at the outdoor table – why not char some local fish with the spicy Corfiot sauce, savoro? When in Greece, it's imperative to sample the local beaches – our pick is Kanoni – where the waters are crystal clear and the rocks are pristine white.

Kassiopi town is less than a 1km drive away. Here, you'll have a host of charming seafront tavernas to choose from, each serving traditional cuisine with fresh local ingredients. After dinner, head home to enjoy a glass of kakotrygis as the sun goes down.
