This elegant and much-loved three-bedroom house sleeps up to 6 adults and is one of the beautifully designed villas on the Kardaki Estate, a forty-acre sea of olive trees in North-East Corfu.

THE VILLA

The views are sublime, the house is extraordinary and the infinity pool spills out into the view beyond and the beach is minutes away; welcome to Villa Dianthus. This elegant and much-loved three-bedroom villa sleeps up to 6 adults and is one of the handful of beautifully designed villas on the Kardaki Estate, a forty-acre sea of olive trees in North-East Corfu. The house has an en-suite king size bedroom and a twin bedroom either side of the light, airy living space with a self-contained suite adjacent to the pool with king-size bed plus a further day-bed suitable for a child (external access only).

LOCATION

Kalamaki bay is best known for being the only sandy beach in North East Corfu and as such is very popular with families, particularly those with younger children. It is a very calming beach, located between the popular towns of Kassiopi and Agios Spiridon, with views across the Ionian Sea to Albania and the Greek mainland beyond.

The house is designed to merge inside and out with delicate cool pink fabrics and contemporary finishes creating beautiful contrasts with the solid age-old rocks that make-up parts of the landscaped gardens. Wide terraces designed for maximum outside living encircle the house and the infinity pool creates a glorious focal point for the view beyond. For larger groups, it is possible to rent Villa Dianthus’ sister property, Villa Rodo, which sleeps up to 10 guests and is linked to Villa Dianthus through the garden via a path and gate.

Corfu is one of Greece’s greenest islands, so there is a mix of rain and glorious sunshine. The warmest months of the year are July and August, approximately 31°C. May and June are very pleasant with temperatures ranging from 23 to 28°C and the sea is usually warm enough to swim in by June, and the average rainfall decreases at the end of May. Equally, September and October are a great time to go with cooler temperatures, perfect for walks, runs or hiking.
