Avlaki beach in northern Corfu is the go-to for this popular corner of the island. A warm ocean, fringed with cypress, with clear-water swimming, water sports, and several beach-front tavernas. In the hills which rise above the coastline is villa Prosilio, a charming five-bedroom villa with views to Avlaki beach on the horizon.
Surrounded with olive and citrus groves, the villa is within a good walk (25-30 mins downhill) of the village of Kassiopi, with its pretty harbour, restaurants and cafes. At the villa, a kidney-shaped infinity pool has shallow steps access, and views over the surrounding landscape. Shaded terraces wrap-around the property, edged with a low wall, and are suited for both relaxing and dining.
Accommodation is divided between a main house, with four bedrooms, and a separate guest cottage with a further bedroom and private terrace. Interiors are largely traditional in style, spacious and comfortable, and include a large sitting room with open fireplace, perfect for the cooler months, and a master bedroom with en suite bathroom and terrace.
