The villas are situated North East of Corfu town on the outskirts of Agios Markos, one of the oldest and most graphic villages on the island. Anywhere you look from the estate you will enjoy breathtaking views. You can clearly see the exquisiteness of Corfu town and its majestic fortress but also enjoy the unique beauties of the endless sea and landscape views.

The location of the villa is ideal as it enjoys total privacy and extreme serenity but is also in very reasonable distance to Corfu town.The closest restaurant is 800 m away and the closest supermarket is only 1km away then at Ipsos Beach which is the closest beach to the villa offers a variety of nightlife and restaurants and shops where you can find anything you need. Just under 15km away, a car drive that will take no longer than 25 minutes will bring you to the doorsteps of a graphic and romantic town centre that can satisfy your every desire. The North East of the island is famous for its many villages full of character, endless beaches and crystal clear blue waters. The distance from the airport and port is 17 km. A local health care centre is within 2.5 km. Local food store is just 1km away and the nearest restaurant 800 m.
There is a public bus transfer that leaves from a bus stop that is 2km away every half an hour in the summer

Corfu is one of the Ionian Islands, located in the most northwestern part of the Ionian Sea. It is reachable by air (duration of flight is 45 minutes from The Athens International Airport, while there are also flights from Thessaloniki and major European cities) as well as by sea (links to Patra, Igoumenitsa and ports of Italy). Also, boats link Corfu to the island group Paxoi and the small islands Othonoi, Ereikoussa and Lazaretto.

Corfu is a destination of elegance and nobility. The island has incurred a long period of Venetian dominance and this is depicted in the uniqueness of its architecture and monuments. The old town of Corfu is included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO, while Spianada is the biggest square in the Balkans. Fortresses, palaces and picturesque villages along with tiny islands and romantic beaches combine into a unique mosaic.

The island of Corfu was a favorite destination of Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who built there a summer palace and named it Achilleion, after Achilles, the hero of the Trojan War. Her palace is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is open to visitors as a museum. On the island one can find many museums of great interest, such as the Museum of Far Eastern Art (the only one of its kind in Greece) and the Olives Museum that displays traditional tools and processes for olive oil production.

Music is inextricably linked to daily life in Corfu. There are many bands that offer free music lessons, perform at Spianada square and participate in the traditional Easter ceremonies of the island. One of the most famous local products is the kumquat orange, a tiny type of orange that is used to produce aromatic spoon sweets and liqueurs. Furthermore, the island possesses a premier golf club that connoisseurs characterize as one of the best hidden secrets in Europe.

For those who are keen on discovering dreamy beaches, the island group of Paxoi is the ideal suggestion for a daily or weekend excursion from Corfu.

Picture perfect Villa in the hills over Corfu
Our expectations were high and the villa and wonderful incredibly helpful property manager exceeded all our hopes! Nothing was too much trouble. Everything was a reasonable drive. The beaches, restaurants, sights were all brilliant. We always had a nice breeze and the views and photos are all very accurate.

Amazing, relaxing villa!!
Just back from 2 lovely weeks from the Manavra villa in Corfu. Villa is very nice set up in the hills above Ipsos, with THE most amazing views from the infinity pool. everything you need here for a lovely relaxing time, but with a car (get a good rate through the owners) you can be down on the coast in 10 mins. - would deffo go back, loved it!!

Great location, unique villa
This is a rare occasion when reality was better than pictures (or even semi-pro video the owners put up on their FB page). I won't say much about the villa itself - what you see is what you get, but better. :) Location is perfect, the vista is truly breathtaking - you can see as far as Corfu town (while swimming in the infinity pool or relaxing in the spacious lounge or having an al-fresco breakfast). And since the island is tiny, you can easily get anywhere and back in a day. Note that having a car is a must if you stay at this villa. Compact 4WD (like Suzuki Jimny) is your best bet - roads can be steep and narrow (that applies to the access road to the villa, too). If you are not 100% comfortable with manual transmission, try and find an automatic, or else you will face some tough "uphill battle" every day when returning to your villa. :) Nearby town of Ipsos is like local Ibiza - packed full with clubbing teens (mostly Italians) and their scooters. Mind them on roads - they tend to travel in packs and to leave brains back home. Luckily, the villa is far enough from the town and nothing will disturb your quiet evenings and nights. 2 neighbouring villas are also out of sight and far enough for privacy. North of the island has a lot to offer - I would specifically recommend an early evening drive to Paleokastritsa and back, and a trip to Mount Pantokrator (warning - parking right up there near monastery can be a real challenge, so you may opt for an easier parking somewhat lower and then walk up a few hundred meters like many others do). What I definitely recommend is to hire a boat! No need for a license - if you drive anything with a motor, you'll be fine. Try it once and you'll be sold. We were renting boats like every other day. When dickering with the rental companies, ask them for 40HP boats - most of them can offer you those (albeit at a price premium), and it is totally worth it: the performance is so much better than your garden variety 30HP engines (legal maximum allowed for non-licensed "skippers"). OK, guess I should say more about the villa (it is a property review, at the end of the day). This is a very interesting building from the design point of view, it has a unique charm and character and worth its (admittedly hefty) price tag. When we were there, the aircon in the tower bedroom did not work and the internet was down, but even that could not spoil the fun!
