Sophia Lower

Introduction

Perfectly positioned and always popular, at this family villa in Corfu, a pergola-shaded pathway leads to the garden gate, which opens straight on to Kerasia’s gleaming pebble beach.

Sophia Lower

With its walls colour-washed in peachy tones, its windows shuttered in traditional green, and its grounds a haven of grapevines, old olive trees and cottage garden flowers, this welcoming villa is classic Corfu. But the location, directly beside one of the island’s best beaches, makes it far from ‘standard’. Owned by a local family who have always made the comfort of their guests a priority, the two storey villa comprises two very similar self-contained apartments, one on each floor, and each with its own separate access and ample shaded balcony/terrace space. If booked as a whole, the house is perfect for two families holidaying together, giving each family a degree of privacy.

The two apartments share facilities in the garden including a generously sized swimming pool and built-in barbecue. Sophia Lower apartment is furnished in comfortably uncluttered style and has a spacious open-plan sitting/dining room, with terracotta tiled floors and doors to the covered terrace, and two bedrooms, each with air conditioning. There are loungers on Kerasia beach right on the doorstep. The UPPER and Lower apartments can be booked separately or together.
