Home details
Villa Perious is a luxury spa-inspired haven, with six wonderful bedrooms and an impressive nine bathrooms. There’s an activity here for everyone to get stuck into - or simply relax by the stunning deep blue pool. For those who like to keep active on holiday, there’s an enormous tennis court for guest use, and there’s a gym housing a treadmill and exercise bike.
The charming exteriors are decorated in sunny ochre, just like Corfu Town. The structure is eclectic and multi-layered, with heritage stonework around the property. The swimming pool is solar-powered and 14m long, so serious swimmers have the space they need. Sunbeds surround the pool, bordered by a fortification-like stone wall, perfect for curling up with a holiday read.
You’ll feel like you’re on a spa break and a beach holiday all at once at Villa Perious - there is a steam room, a Finnish-style sauna and a treatment room, where you can indulge in massages and spa therapies (at an additional fee).
The villa is ideal for families travelling together while maintaining some breathing space - there’s a self-contained apartment within the property that can sleep four guests, with its own living room and kitchenette. Within this living room, there is a striking, elegant white fireplace. The well equipped, futuristic kitchen is decked out in glossy red and has plenty of space to create excellent home-cooked meals.
The main living room has grand, vintage archway panelling and soft grey sofas and curved armchairs, perfect to relax in after a long day sightseeing. A statement glossy red coffee table is the focal point. This spot is great for playing cards and board games together. For enjoying meals together, there is a formal dining table inside and an outdoor shaded dining area that seats up to 12 people. The tech in the villa is state of the art, with televisions in every bedroom and the kitchen, an impressive indoor/outdoor sound system.
Bedrooms are a charming mixture of neutrals or fresh blue with a combination of queen and twin beds dressed in crisp white or colourful bedspreads. Vibrant art hangs on the walls, while light streams in through the castle-like arched windows. Some have pretty cherry blossom printed curtains, and for those who like to bring options, there’s plenty of wardrobe space!

Location:
Corfu, the second largest of the islands in the Ionian Sea, has plenty of Venetian and Byzantine influence in the architecture. Literally translated, the name means ’a pair of peaks’ as the island has two hills topped with fortresses that once successfully defended the island from the Ottoman Empire. With interesting locals, beautiful beaches and fantastic Corfiot cuisine, this island has everything you need for a fantastic holiday.
Corfu Town is just 8km from the villa. Made up of narrow, winding lanes, dotted with Venetian and Neoclassical architecture in ochre and burnt sienna. Visit Spianada Square, a space where locals congregate to catch up over a coffee - just off it is the Old Fortress. Built on the site of a former acropolis atop a rocky peninsula, make a pilgrimage to the top for captivating views, passing a small chapel and museum on the way.
Liston Arcade, with its promenade inspired by the Rue de Rivoli in Paris is also nearby. Made up of elegant arches with lots of cafes, the promenade is a perfect spot for people-watching with a coffee. There’s plenty of tasty food to try all over Corfu, such as bourdeto, which consists of rockfish in a tomato sauce with onions and garlic. Try pastralio, consisting of fried aubergine layered with cheese and baked with boiled eggs, pancetta or salami with a tomato and basil sauce.
A popular day trip from Corfu is to nearby Pontikosini (Mouse Island) where there is a tiny Byzantine monastery encompassed by pine and cypress trees. According to local legend, this is the spot of Ulysses’ ship after it was turned to stone by Poseidon. The island gets its name as it’s said to be the outline of a mouse when you look at it from a bird’s eye view.
A day trip to see iconic Acheillio, the summer palace of Empress Sisi of Austria, is a highlight of many a trip to Corfu. Located in Gastouri, a short drive away, the palace was inspired by Greek mythology and finished in 1898. Around the historical palace, there are iconic sculptures of Achilles, Hera and Zeus. The palace is encircled by beautiful gardens and has amazing views of the Ionian Sea.
Corfu famously has lots of glorious beaches to spend a day with your toes in the sand and indulge in a leisurely swim in the Ionian Sea. There is a beach just five minutes from the villa, and Agios Gordious beach is also close, with its beautiful jade green water and sugary soft sand. The name comes from the church on the beachfront. The road that leads up to it is very picturesque, passing through olive trees and vineyards.
