September Discount! Whole House, Plunge Pool, Spectacular Views, 2 Beaches
Enjoy the quietness, cool mountain breezes and breathtaking views of Spartilas. A fully equipped family home (in a central village location)with private plunge pool, patio and deck allows you to relax in a private oasis after the buzz of beach bars and restaurants in Barbati or Ipsos - a short drive down the mountain. 8 minutes to Barbari beach!
It is a completely detached, private home with gated parking for 2 cars. The quiet road at the front allows easy access at all times while the property backs onto the lush green slopes of the mountainside; hardly overlooked and quiet.
It is a 120 year old traditional stone building which means it stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The 2 bedrooms and bathroom are downstairs while the large living room and kitchen are on the upper floor; maximising the stunning views which reach as far as the south of the island. There is air conditioning in both bedrooms and on the top floor. Though often not needed as the 8 windows allow breezes easily to cool the house.
There is a small plunge pool (3.6m x 3.6m, 1,2m deep) on the upper terrace. This is accessed from a decked area with sun loungers. There is also a patio with an umbrella and chairs to the side if the pool. A grassy area to the right of the pool provides cool shade, as does another patio area to the right of the house. The garden is laid out in terraces and there are a lot of steps.
Spartilas is a traditional village. The house is located in the oldest part and therefore only a 5 minute walk from the centre which has a small bakery, mini market and 2 tiny cafes. There is a larger cafe a further 5 minutes up the road which also serves some simple food in the high season. There are tavernas within a 15 minute drive of the house - both down to the beach or up into the mountains.
For those that like hiking, the route to the top of Pantokrator passes through the village.
The beaches to the north of the island are a 25 minute drive through beautiful ancient olive groves. Corfu town - which can be seen from the house, is a 40 minute drive. (It is essential to have a car - the village is not on a bus route; and the distance to the beach is too far for walking).
Ein wunderschönes altes Haus, sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr einladend. Die Einrichtung war super detailverliebt. Bei Sorgen und Fragen konnten die Gastgeber immer erreicht werden und waren sehr behilflich. Durch den kleinen Pool waren die Kinder auch immer beschĂ€ftigt und wir Eltern konnten uns entspannen. Ein kleiner BĂ€cker und ein Minimarkt sind fuĂlĂ€ufig erreichbar, dadurch war immer frisches Brot, regionales Obst und GemĂŒse vorhanden. In den kleinen Gassen des Dorfes konnte man einen herrlichen Spaziergang machen und die wundervolle Aussicht genieĂen.
A very nice house, clean and spatious. The kitchen has everything that is needed. The beds. It is quiet and there is a nice view onto the sea. Plenty of excellent ttaverns nearby. The host are very nice and helpful.
Retired couple from the USA and UK. Gretl, a retired teacher and artist has lived in Greece for 35 years. Greg is retired military and part time lecturer at the local university. This property was our personal home but we decided to downsize yet wanted to offer this lovely property that we enjoyed so much! We earned premier host status on other properties (in Greece and Germany) over the past 8 years.
This property and location was chosen for the cooler temperatures found atop the mountain. Spartilas is called âThe balcony of Corfu â due to its panoramic views. Itâs a short drive to two terrific beaches as well as a short drive to the northern beaches.
This house was built over 100 years ago with thick stone walls that keep the house is beautifully cool naturally. The property is the only one in the village with off street parking that can accommodate two cars or several motorbikes. There is diversity of spaces throughout the property both in and out. There are quiet spaces for reading or the back poolside terrace where others might enjoy a drink by the pool. Others can relax in front of wide screen TV.
