POA

This spectacular 3-bedroom villa has beautiful terraced gardens and has private seafront access. Villa Likos occupies a stunning position, poised above a sparkling sea where the colours of a peacock’s tail shift and blend with the currents. This is where three seas converge – the Ionian, the Adriatic and the Mediterranean. With gorgeous interiors, direct sea access and a team of staff, this is the perfect villa for a family or small group of friends.

Overview

From the moment the guests step through the antique carved wood entrance doors, brought here from Rajahstan, their eyes are drawn to the amazing view over the sea. A view that is always the same, yet ever subtly changing. The villa sleeps 6 and accommodation is distributed over two floors. The Master suite occupies the whole of the upper floor, and has its own private balcony with shade and sun and, of course, those superb and uninterrupted views. A full bathroom and massive dressing room complete the facilities

The ground floor provides one spacious open-plan living area, with ample comfortable seating and TV area, a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. It is worth noting that the unusual dining table is constructed from reclaimed Indian railway sleepers protected by glass. There is also a designated study area, cloakroom and shower, and a maid’s room with separate access.
Here we have two guest bedroom suites with dressing room areas and en suite shower rooms with walk-in showers.

The house is fully air-conditioned throughout and for the further convenience of guests, all curtains are electrically opened and closed at the touch of a button.

Villa Likos is a fine example of modern architecture that complements the grandeur of its setting without competing with it. Walls that are almost entirely fashioned from glass, balconies with invisible dividers, are all focused on the stunning view.

Inside, the house is decorated in muted tones that echo the natural textures of its materials, pale stone walls, glossy oak floors and beautiful exposed ceiling beams, painted white in traditional Corfiot style. Furnishings are all unique and mostly bespoke.

All ground floor rooms open on to a broad wraparound terrace that is furnished with two sofas angled round a striking hand hammered brass coffee table from Indonesia. There is also an elegant dining area set up for eight.

Garden dining area is housed under a wrought iron pergola draped with a wisteria vine and hung with a beautiful chandelier.

A fully stocked bar is conveniently inserted into the wall of the villa adjacent to the pergola dining area.

Perhaps the most beautiful feature of the gardens though, is the breathtaking swimming pool. Designed to resemble a natural rock pool, the 25 metre long freshwater infinity pool is freeform and has an exposed rock face all along one side.
From here there is easy access into the pool, which is open to the incredible 180 degree view over the sea, with its seemingly boundless vista of islands and mainland, due south as far as the eye can see. The pool is 2.80 metres deep at its deepest point.

When the urge for some convivial company arises, there are two outdoor bars and a beautiful al fresco dining area under a wisteria-draped pergola, surrounded by a lawn. The lowest of the terraces, a gentle stroll from the house, is on the seafront, with ladder access to the sea, where there is a floating boat mooring and jetty for boarding boats.
