About this property

Beautiful Villa, short walk to Agni Beach, heated pool with stunning views

The Almond Tree is the purpose-built holiday home that we had built in North East Corfu in 2008. It is within a 15 minute walk to Agni Beach. With one double and two twin bedrooms, the house sleeps six comfortably and has two en-suite and one separate bathroom. Downstairs the house has a large open plan living and dining area, including a fully fitted and equipped kitchen. It is both fully air conditioned and centrally heated, so that you can enjoy the room temperature that suits you best. Outside, the house has a large (9m x 4m) fully serviced swimming pool with heating for low season periods, it has a lockable gate so the little ones are kept safe. There are several large verandahs with seating, separate patio areas and a BBQ for you to use. The Almond Tree offers an outstanding view over the old village out to the sea (Corfu Channel) and the Albanian coast. It’s a very peaceful location, with plenty of areas of shade for you to escape to if the Mediterranean sun is not your cup of tea!

Heavenly home
High quality furniture, homely, comfortable. We had ten days at The Almond Tree and couldn't have enjoyed it more. Well located, peaceful area up a small lane away from the road. The views from all the rooms were really exceptional - wide expanse of the sea and hill sides. We will miss being there, and would highly recommend it.

Much needed peace and quiet
We loved our week at the home from home Almond Tree. Despite the temperature hitting 30 degrees, there were plenty of cool, shady spaces in and around the villa. We didn’t need to use the air con at all. Although I was woken up by the odd motorbike, I don’t think I’ve ever slept so well whilst on a holiday in the Med.

Nicest Villa EVER
We didn’t want to come home. The Villa is spotless and everything you could possibly need. This area of the coastline is just amazing, we went on boat trips, beach days, Old Town etc, nowhere was more than 30/40 mins drive to see all the sights. We particularly enjoyed Kassiopi and the local bays. The views, the pool, the area, faultless. We didn’t have a problem at all with mosquitoes as we just kept the doors and windows closed at dusk-they weren’t a problem to us as some report them to be. Brilliant communication from the owners and Dave the pool guy was lovely too. Possibly the nicest villa and location we have had. Corfu is just the best.

Perfect week away
Our stay at Almond Tree was perfect. Beautiful villa, we spent our days in the pool and walking down to Agni Bay for meals at the tavernas. We hired a boat from Agni Boats which was a highlight. A short walk from Agni over to Kalami to shop in the 2 shops stopping at the swimming spots on the way. The bus stops on the main road, we visited Kassiopi for the day. Would love to return one day.

About the host

My wife Catrina (who is half Greek) and I first came to Corfu for our honeymoon and fell in love with the island. We have returned with our three (now grown up) sons for very many years afterwards and our love for this wonderful place has grown. In 2008 we built The Almond Tree, in Kendroma, a village in North East Corfu, which is in an unspoilt and uncommercialised area. Since then we've had many happy holidays there with family and friends. Now we are hoping to share it more widely.
As a family we enjoy water sports such as water skiing, wake boarding and scuba diving. We keep a boat on the island for all these activities.
In the spring and autumn we like to go walking, there are many footpaths in the surrounding area which help you explore the unspoilt countryside.
We live in Cambridge where we run a animal nutrition business advising farmers and feed companies in all matters of pig nutrition!

Why they chose this property

Corfu is a fantastic place to relax, and we've found it to be a safe and easy place to bring our children. The weather is fabulous, too, and there’s enough rainfall to keep the island beautifully green.

The beaches around the island are excellent: the water is crystal clear and ideal for swimming, snorkelling, fishing or just messing about. There’s plenty of opportunity for water sports, scuba diving etc, while on the very many unspoilt beaches there are few signs of tourism.

We built our house (we've called it The Almond Tree) in Kendroma 15 minutes walk away from Agni Bay, where there are three good tavernas and close to some fantastic little bays and unspoilt beaches. Yet it's also just over a half an hour’s drive from the bright lights and bustle of Corfu Town.

We have all learnt to water ski and skuba dive here. In fact the people who taught us to waterski also taught Prince Harry and William in Kalami bay which is only a 30 minute walk from our house. You can also enjoy other water activities such as wake boarding and Ringo rides. We have also played Golf in Corfu and they have an 18 hole coarse about 40-50 minutes away. if you are into mountain biking or running there are loads of challenging paths and tracks to take, such as the highest point on the island at just over 900 meters which is accessible from the house.

We are located about 200 meters from the local bus route which takes you into the main town and to other beaches along the coast.

What makes this property unique

Our villa offers an outstanding view over the old village out to the sea and the Albanian coast. It’s a very peaceful location, with plenty of areas of shade for you to escape to if the Mediterranean sun is not your cup of tea!

With one double and two twin bedrooms, it sleeps six comfortably and has two en-suite and one separate bathroom. Downstairs, it has a large open plan living and dining area, including a fully fitted and equipped kitchen.

It’s fully furnished and equipped – all you have you bring is yourselves and beach towels – it is both fully air conditioned and centrally heated, so that you can enjoy the room temperature that suits you best.

Outside, there is a large (9m x 4m) fully serviced swimming pool, several large verandah areas and a BBQ for you to use. This year 2017 we have added a pool heater for the beginning and end of season.

We are located about 200 meters from the local bus route which takes you into the main town and to other beaches along the coast.
