We are selling our beloved family residence ‘Villa la Serenissima’ on Corfu island, due to the moving away of our mother, who has been the permanent resident and soul of the property since the late ‘80s. After many years in Corfu she has to move back to Germany due to family reasons and the house will be empty. The house also has been running as a Boutique Hotel for 10 years and comes with full license from the EOT (Greek Tourism Organisation).

The Villa is built in traditional Venetian style in stunning setting on a cliff above the Ionian Sea (200 m airline), around 12 km north-east of Corfu town, but with a lively seaside town only 1 km away, with shops, tavernas and beaches. A private asphalted street leads from the main road to the property’s massive iron gates.

The 404,46 m² living area of the house is laid out entirely in rare pink and white marble in chessboard pattern. The huge living room features an 1.80 m high and 2.20 m wide marble open fire place. A marble spiral staircase leads to the open mezzanine gallery, which runs around the upper floor with a balcony to the sea. The living room’s ceiling is more than 7 meters high with view on the old wooden beams of the roof. Three huge double balcony doors lead from the living room to the half-covered terrace with a breathtaking view on the Ionian sea, mount Pantokrator and the town of Corfu.

The upper floor has three bedrooms, all with own balconies and own private entrances. One is the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, the two other bedrooms share one bathroom.. Next to the living room, there is a large, fully equipped kitchen with sitting area and a guest WC. Another marble staircase leads to the lower floor to access three more bedrooms, of which two have en-suite bathrooms and own garden access. The lower floor also consists of a large laundry room, a storage and tool room and a maid’s room with own bathroom. The whole house has central heating, Wireless Internet and Satellite TV.

.

The large property includes a 10 x 6 m swimming pool, a built in BBQ area, as well as an organic vegetable and fruit garden. The house also has its own large rainwater tank, which is used to water the garden or for emergency use. A lever is used to switch between tank and running water.

We will, due to the emotional attachment to this beautiful place take our time to find a buyer, who will appreciate the ‘Villa la Serenissima’ as much as we have.

Information on Corfu Island:

The second largest of the Ionian islands, Corfu is a mountainous land with amazing landscapes and long, golden sandy beaches. The various empires that have passed through this island have all left a mark in the architecture of the buildings and the character of the people.

Deserted Venetian castles, Byzantine monasteries, the Old Town with its impressive medieval fortress and various museums witness the rich history of the island. The good infrastructure, an international airport and the well developed urban life allow for an enjoyable time all year round.

Corfu has been a popular vacation spot of the aristocracy since the 70’s and this is reflected by wonderful properties, a golf course (18 holes) and a casino in the old Palace of Empress Sissi of Austria. Nightlife in the town is very dynamic, but there are many places for tranquillity and relaxation.
