Nissaki, Corfu, Greece

Set on a 9-stremma cliff top site with private seafront access in Corfu, the six-bedroom, virtually glass-walled along its entire frontage, overlooks the sea, east to the coast and mountains of Albania, with the magical site of ancient Butrint in full view, and south to mainland Greece and the islands of the Ionian.

This is one of the Mediterranean’s most sublime views, where two entirely different cultures face each other as if they were simply on opposite sides of a shimmering lake.

Everything about the house is designed for comfort and space, its contemporary design highlighted here and there by skilful use of traditional artifacts from India and Morocco, with some examples of Colonial living, such as a plantation ceiling fan that is a work of art in its own right. The white stone that was excavated over a period of three years has been used to create the terraces and dry stone walling in order to achieve the owner’s vision.

Water is a distinctive feature of the house, its sound a gentle accompaniment to the business of relaxation. The guest is greeted at the porticoed entrance by a bespoke copper-panelled water feature, combining huge wooden doors from India with a glass chandelier, potted trees and hydrangeas.

The dramatic entrance to the villa opens into a spacious sitting room with oak floors and exposed ceiling beams, where a plantation ceiling fan strikes an unusual note. The ceiling is lit with linear LED up lighting, remote controlled electric curtains that, when necessary, shade the windows with their breathtaking view south down the Corfu Channel and east to ancient Butrint.

All bedrooms are furnished with particularly comfortable beds with bespoke padded headboards, matching seating and the four main bedrooms have a TV.

Upper master bedroom: Access to a private landscaped area with its own covered Jacuzzi.

The massive walk in shower has a stone backlit Jali with ancient wood and stone pillars.

Second master bedroom suite: On the lower floor with its own sitting area, with TV, fridge and separate dressing room. The bathroom features a large freestanding egg-shaped bath illuminated by a chandelier.

Bedrooms 3 and 4: En-suite his-and-hers walk in shower rooms, TVs and dressing rooms and can be made up as twins.

Bedrooms 5 and 6: En-suite bath and shower rooms are in an independent guest suite with its own entrance; they share a private sitting/dining room all opening on to a beautiful private terrace overlooking the sea and the superb views. It also has a fully equipped kitchen.

At every level, there are lawned terraces with plants and trees framing exquisite views. Whether you wish to enjoy al fresco meals or refreshments as a couple or in company, your needs are amply provided for, with exceptionally comfortable seating, shade and sun. Steps connect the various levels, and a lift with glass doors encased in the seafront tower provides easy access to the private sea and sun bathing terraces.

A lift with glass doors, housed in a purpose-built tower, descends the three levels between the villa and the seafront. Two separate areas have been carved out of the rocks, to provide terraces for bathing and lounging, with sun loungers, and parasols.

Location: The Ionian Islands, lying between the Adriatic Sea and the eastern Mediterranean, are strung like a necklace of precious stones along the northwestern shores of Greece. They are unique in many ways, green and fertile, a startling contrast to the austere islands of the Aegean.
Corfu Airport: 23 km (40min drive / 15min speedboat)
