About this property

Unique location with stunning views. Walkable to Kalami & Agni with heated pool

Villa Saranda is a beautiful villa located in its own one acre plot with 25 olive and fruit trees in a peaceful, location with private and direct 4 minute access on foot to the magical beach and bay of Yialiskari where the Durrell's My Family and Other Animals was filmed. A small, stone built snack bar and limited sun loungers have recently been installed enhancing the beach tastefully and discreetly. The colour of the water needs to be seen to be believed. From here it is only a short 15 minute walk via a coastal path to either Agni or Kalami where there are several tavernas, bars and small supermarkets. Some of our guests have not rented a car as taxis are readily available and the local boat taxi calls into many of the North East locations as well as offering day trips to Venetian Corfu Town

There are stunning views from the house including the recently enlarged patio and covered terrace where you can hear the sound of the sea and watch boats pass by. It is a natural habitat for birds, wild flowers and during spring the area is lit by fireflies.

The house and seasonally heated pool (for which there is an extra charge) are both very private with ample verandas, bbq and shaded areas. We have equipped the house as a home from home with a high level of facilities - way above the normal standard of holiday properties with every attention to detail.

Each of the three bedrooms has its own en suite - the two doubles with walk in power showers and the twin with a bath and shower. The two double bedrooms have floor to ceiling sliding glass doors providing stunning views across over the beach to Albania and Kalami.

The villa is family friendly and the seasonally heated pool (at extra cost if required) is great for families and very safe. A cot, highchair and babyseat are available.

The kitchen is well equipped with a Nespresso coffee maker, microwave, wine cooler, integrated dishwasher and oven/hob and a wide range of kitchen equipment.

The open plan living area has high beamed ceilings with comfortable settees, coffee table and a desk area for a computer. We have recently installed the latest Starlink satellite internet system which gives excellent upload and download speeds. The wall mounted TV offers a large number of streamed channels (with a full Premium UK and Sports package ) , as well as Netflix. A Sonos sound system provides music both inside and outside

There are several outside seating areas - a large table on the covered terrace with two smaller tables positioned to maximise the panoramic views. There are six rattan sun beds and a recently extended lounge area with settee, large parasol, armchairs and low table for an evening sundowner admiring the stunning view across to Albania, the beach below and the busy Corfu Straits always active with yachts, ferries and fishing boats.

The whole property is managed and cared for by a local couple who have been with us for nearly 10 years. They maintain the house and gardens in pristine condition and are always available for local advice or just a friendly chat

Saranda is unique and many of our guests have returned year after year to enjoy this special location in arguably one of the most beautiful parts of Greece - do have a look at the Reviews on the VRBO website

One island to another
Beautiful property and location. Yes it’s up a hill but that’s its beauty. We had days we explored and others we relaxed. We had hired one quad bike and took it turns to travel out, saves the legs when collecting water. As we were staying in October when things started to close we got to appreciate both sides of the island- busy tourist season one week and quieter the next. We appreciated the regular cleaning and laundry service it was a real holiday treat. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful villa
We have just returned from a 2 week stay at this gorgeous villa. The villa is beautifully equipped and the views across to Albania are stunning . A short walk takes you down to a pretty bay with a nice beach bar & sunbeds for rental. Both Agni & Kalami are in walking distance and we enjoyed trying all of the dining options ! I would thoroughly recommend this villa - you won’t be disappointed

Probably the best spot on Corfu
Incredible location, semi-private beach, restaurants come and pick you up by boat. Nice walk to Kalami. The drive to the house is not for the faint at heart, as is all traffic on Corfu.

Exceptional…picture perfect view and villa
Just as I envisaged, I came to explore the local area and immerse myself in the local culture. Was everything we hoped for. Villa Saranada’s outdoor area is picture perfect with views to take your breath away. Peaceful, quite and completely as planned. The locals are extremely friendly, accommodating and it doesn’t take long to feel like you belong.

Exceeded expectations
This property is absolutely stunning, if the photos impress you the reality will blow your mind. Honestly the best villa we have ever stayed in. The property itself is beautiful, well maintained, lovely decor, internal facilities are excellent, it's not just 6 glasses and 6 plates that you sometimes get, its like home with loads of cutlery and crockery, both for indoor and outdoor use. The outdoor area is as impressive as the actual property with loads of very comfortable furniture. And the pool is just brilliant, a really good size and well maintained. And I've not even mentioned the view!! Outstanding!! Words can't really do it justice. Add to that all the 'extras' like the fantastic internal/external sound system, Internet, Netflix ( that we used once because we were outside), games, DVD's, books, BBQ, table tennis table and you get some idea of what is on offer. Communication from the owner was first class and driving instructions are perfect, with photo prompts as well as written instructions, they have also managed to secure an excellent manager and maid, both of whom were competent, polite, personable and spoke really good English ( we Brits are mostly lazy with languages). We were a 3 generation party and we all had a great time. The owners are not renting you a villa they are loaning you their home. Book it!! Did I mention the cove?? Too much to say!

Fabulous Villa
What a fabulous villa in a great location with amazing views. Peter was very helpful during the booking process and sent a very comprehensive pack with all the relevant information prior to our stay. The villa is really comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed walking to the local bay and going for a swim although the walk back is quite steep! We didn't hire a car and found the easiet way to get to Taverna's was by taxi boat, most restaurants will arrange collection and bring you back. The tavernas in Agni Bay and Kalami were all excellent. We booked a private boat for a day which I would highly recommend, a great way to see other parts of the beautiful Island. Supermarkets in Kalami will deliver your orders, such a great service. The villa manager and his wife were really friendly and very helpful. Thank you for a long awaited relaxing holiday.

A perfect holiday
We had an absolutely wonderful holiday at villa Saranda. As soon as I enquired about the property peter was fantastic. The communication was excellent and so detailed which meant we booked our boat hire and reservation at the White House before coming. The villa way exceeded our expectations and we could never tire of the breathtaking views. The villa was very well equipped and the photos don’t do it justice. The outside area is gorgeous and inside modern and beautiful. The walk back from the beach is a little hot! We couldn’t recommend the villa enough and hope to return again. The Harris family

Fantastic villa
The villa was amazing, beautiful location (5 minutes to a very very quiet beach), 15 minutes to Kalami where a great little supermarket is located (they will deliver to villa) and a fishmonger to get fresh fish caught that day, there are good restaurants there including the former Durrell's white house. Agni is a 10 minute walk. The villa has everything you need, fantastic pool, great facilities, amazing view, a great BBQ (we used every night) Peter is a great host and so is Armando (is local property manager) and his wife who cleans the property A fantastic family stay

Perfect
This Villa is beautiful, it is extremely clean and well maintained. The heated pool was perfect and despite being pretty unlucky with the weather we still swam in the pool everyday, including in the rain. The beach just a short walk away was lovely, calm water and plenty of rocks to climb on. The communication and info pack provided by Peter before we went was great. I would 100% recommend this villa and we would love to return in the future.

A fantastic holiday!
What a pleasant villa! Villa Saranda is very clean, really well-equipped with gorgeous views. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor heated swimming pool in this 'in-between' season where other touristic areas in Corfu were just slowly waking up and getting ready for the season. Finding restaurants that were open wasn't easy, but we were lucky enough to enjoy Greek foods at lovely authentic Greek restaurants not far from the villa. The owner, Peter was great, providing useful information even before our holiday started, promptly contacting his property manager, Armando, to sort out the heating problem (it was quite chilly in the evening, we got an extra electric heater). The maid service was blissful too. We didnt need anything extra during our stay, it's truly a 'home from home'. We'd like to visit Villa Saranda again.
