The smart estate consists of a main house and a neighbouring guest villa. Although adjacent, the outdoor terraces are screened from each other while only the guest house pool is overlooked by the main house. Situated on a private estate made up of four separate properties, the waterfront Odysseus Estate incorporates Villa Penelope with neighbouring Villa Icarius. Set behind in an elevated position are Villa Epirus and Villa Pyrrhus. All four villas can also be rented separately.
The Odysseus Estate is set in beautifully designed gardens, with drifts of lavender, mature olive trees and silver leaved shrubs, set against striking agapanthus and scented jasmine.
The property was designed to have a village feel, with rooms and areas set slightly apart from each other and joined by pergola-covered walkways planted with wisteria and climbers. Each bedroom has its own entrance and French doors to the terrace, no two bedrooms are internally accessible. A vast kitchen occupies the middle section, a living room fills the entire upper floor of the left wing and the right wing contains the bedrooms. Outdoor terraces wrap-around the property, providing the several spaces perfect for guests to gather, meet, eat, and enjoy the spectacular views across the Corfu Straits.
The specifications of this luxury Greek villa are extremely high, with individually controlled underfloor integral air-cooling and heating system, spacious bathrooms, and clever use of courtyards to flood the lower floors with a cool calm light. Plantings of bamboo in the courtyards add to the quiet, meditative feel of the spaces.
