Agios Markos, Peloponnese, Western Greece and Ionian, Address available on request

Manavra Villa is one of several Villas belonging to, and built by, one of Corfu's best known Architects.

It is instantly recognizable by its bespoke design which sets it apart from most other properties on the island.

Unusual yet traditional in design,and with some unique quirky features, Villa Manavra is a truly beautiful Villa with a sturdy stone tower housing the bedrooms.

Designed to embrace the beautiful view, the Villa stands proudly on the hillside, its ivy-covered tower the main feature.

The main entrance to the Villa is through a covered walkway at the foot of the tower, leading up stone steps to the terrace and living area.

On one side is a generous country style kitchen, with an enormous picture window from which to enjoy the stunning view. Some steps lead from the kitchen down to a covered outside dining terrace which overlooks the infinity pool below.

A few steps from the kitchen is the impressive living room, with a high vaulted ceiling and a stone open fireplace. Full of atmosphere and charm, the room is comfortable and inviting.

At one end of the living room a couple of steps lead up to two large bedrooms. One has an ensuite bathroom, the other the sole use of the family bathroom, both have a private balcony from which to take in the view. Little interesting details, such as oval shaped windows in these bedrooms, add to the overall charm.

A wooden staircase leads up to the master bedroom which forms the top floor of the tower. A pretty ensuite bathroom is at the rear of the room, and the front has a romantic Romeo and Juliet style balcony overlooking the view.

Outside, the gardens are mature and natural in style and there are plenty of places to sit or lounge in sun or shade.

In one corner is a pretty rose covered terrace with seating and a TV/cinema room, perfect for warm summer nights.

The pool is at the front and appears to flow into the house, very unusual in design and a striking feature of this special property.

Currently a very successful summer rental property, the heritage village of Agios Markos is a short walk away and the livelier resort of Ipsos just a few minutes drive - a perfect location.
