The villa is located, at Gastouri village in Corfu, Greece.
Gastouri is an exceptionally beautiful, picturesque village at eight
kilometers from the city of Corfu, on the southeast coast close to Perama and Benitses,
built on a verdant landscape, amongst olive groves, on the slopes of the
mountain of Agioi Deka. It is not by chance that the Empress of Austria, Sissy,
chose Gastouri in 1889 to build her palace, the famous Achilleon Palace which
is one of the most significant and popular sights of the island. Gastouri is full of mansions and summer
houses dating back to the 18th and 19th century with coats of arms, verandahs,
elaborate, characteristic doors and well-groomed yards. The spectacular views
from the hillside are second to none.
The villa was built in 1994 at a location with unobstructed views to the
greenish Corfiot countryside. It is
ideal for people who like beautiful countryside views, romantic sunsets,
privacy & quietness, nature & clean environment. Although the villa is located at the south
East countryside, it has easy access (15 minutes driving) to the famous sandy
beaches of Glyfada, Aghios Gordios and Kontogialos, located at the west coast.
