Exceptional villa in Corfu, with daily breakfast, a swimming pool, a tennis court and direct beach access

Gracefully emerging from secluded seafront gardens over the pristine waters of the Channel of Corfu, Vista Lazareto is a rare and remarkable luxury villa Corfu retreat where history, nature, and refined living exist in perfect harmony.

Full Description

This extraordinary 18th-century historic residence is nestled along the east coastline of Corfu, just moments from the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Corfu and within easy reach of Gouvia Marina. Offering both seclusion and accessibility, Vista Lazareto stands among the most distinguished private homes in Corfu. Accommodating up to 10 guests across five exquisite en-suite bedrooms, this seafront luxury villa in Corfu is designed for those seeking authenticity without compromising on comfort.

Set within two acres of lush Mediterranean gardens, this private Corfu luxury villa boasts nearly 200 metres of shoreline and a nigh-private beach just beyond its gates. From sunrise breakfasts on the east-facing veranda to moonlit dinners overlooking the bay, every moment at Vista Lazareto feels cinematic – fittingly so, as the estate famously served as a filming location for the beloved television series The Durrells.

Vista Lazareto has undergone a meticulous preservation, reviving its Venetian, French, and British architectural heritage while integrating modern luxuries expected from a premier luxury villa Corfu escape. Across three floors, original tiled floors, soaring ceilings, antique furnishings, and ormolu objets d’art blend seamlessly with contemporary sofas and state-of-the-art amenities.

The ground floor welcomes guests through English double doors into an elegant reception room adorned with a grand piano, gilded mirrors, and Belle Époque charm. The enchanting Rotonda dining room, with its antique round table and sweeping bay views, opens effortlessly onto the gardens.

Upstairs, five serene en-suite bedrooms offer captivating views across the Ionian Sea or the estate’s flourishing gardens. Exposed wooden beams, treasured antiques, and impeccably designed bathrooms ensure that every suite within this luxury villa in Corfu is both elegant and restorative.

The estate’s gardens have evolved organically into a fragrant sanctuary of cypress, olive, fruit trees, and towering Italian stone pines. Eco-conscious furnishings are thoughtfully placed throughout, encouraging guests to unwind and reconnect with nature – a defining element of any true luxury villa Corfu experience.

Beyond the historic walls, the crystalline waters of Corfu Bay invite exploration. Guests can snorkel above vibrant Posidonia meadows or collect sea glass along the shoreline. For recreation, the villa offers a private tennis court and a vintage swimming pool set within expansive meadow gardens – the perfect balance of invigoration and serenity in this secluded Corfu luxury villa haven.

Vista Lazareto is more than a luxury villa in Corfu – it is a living piece of history, gracefully preserved and thoughtfully reimagined. Surrounded by boundless space, shimmering waters, and refreshing Ionian air, this iconic Corfu luxury villa offers a profound sense of belonging that only the most extraordinary places can provide.
