Natura Estate - Villa Mare

Elegant Beach House Offers an Ode to Corfu's Natural Beauty

One of three unique beach house rentals on Corfu, available independent or as a together, this property has been inspired by the island's natural beauty inside and out. Set along a private stretch of Ionian shoreline and surrounded in centennial olive groves, the expansive estate is designed to remain in sync with the scenery, with plenty of luxuries both natural and material to spare.

Created by a husband-and-wife team from the island, the property was devised as an extra-large retreat for families or large groups to enjoy and get to know the quieter southern coast of the island with various services from boat trips and touring, to on-site wellness and culinary experiences, bike touring, hiking, horseback riding, diving and canoeing.

Strategically placed for maximum privacy and to highlight different aspects of the property, each of the villas is named for three principles of the site.

Villa Mare's placement offers permanent contact with the sea, with steps leading directly to the shore and a private cabana on the sand for dining and sunset drinks on the water's edge. There are two swimming pools, a larger, unheated pool and a plunge pool equipped with massage jets that can be heated by request. Designed with an exotic tropical aesthetic, its interiors are composed in neutral earth tones, with teak floors and fine Greek marble in a marriage of wood and stone. Its interiors are open-plan, with large social living spaces that communicate directly with the land and sea.

Around

Just off mainland Greece’s northwest coast in the Ionian Sea, Corfu is unlike much of the rest of the country due to its historical mix of Venetian, British and French rule, resulting in a unique cosmopolitan mix of heritages and history.

Its beautifully preserved Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a lovely blend of Renaissance, Baroque and classical architecture, with twin 15th-century Venetian fortresses flanking either side, the grand palaces of Achillion and Mon Repos, and a historical center of winding medieval streets and ornate arcades. The famous Liston is the town's trademark promenade around the Spianada square at its social heart.

The coasts feature sandy coves and crystal clear waters and some of the island's best beaches including Dassia, Paleokastritsa, Glyfada, Kontokali, and Kavos. The island's interior is forested and rugged and dotted with smaller villages.
