The name says it all. Lazy Acre Villa is set in an acre-wide olive grove on the edge of Agios Ionnis. And because it's surrounded by flowers and fruit trees, it's completely private perfect for long, lazy afternoons in the sun. So you get a great sense of seclusion but you've a handful of tavernas and shops close by. What's more, Aqualand the island's famous water-park is just down the road.
The villa itself is a three-storey number with a cottage-like feel that belies its size. It's got four bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a couple of living rooms. In short, it's huge. In fact, from the back it looks more like a small Roman mansion than a holiday home. But somehow it's still homely and more than a little luxurious.
In terms of the layout, the ground floor is home to the living room, a double bedroom and a bathroom. Upstairs, meanwhile, you'll find an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a walk-in pantry, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. And right at the top, the attic level - reached by a spiral staircase - is almost completely self contained with a living room, double bedroom and a shower room. Factor in several balconies with countryside views, and you've got a plenty of space to play with.
Dcor-wise, it's as contemporary as they come. They've used earthy tones of mushroom and cocoa to set off the vanilla-and-cream color scheme. Soft furnishings come in fabrics like suede and velour, giving things a comfy feel. And modern touches like massive mirrors, u-shaped sofas and chunky woodwork bring things bang up to date.
They've kept comfort in mind outside, too. Wooden deck chairs and sun loungers freckle the lawn. A giant hammock swings between the trees. And white canvas parasols provide plenty of shade. Plus you'll find tables and chairs dotted around the tiered sun terraces. But the star of the show is the pool, which takes pride of place in the middle of the garden.Please share your flight details with the villa owners: info@corfuvillavacations.com or by telephone: +4407701088470 to arrange key collection,transfers and directions.
