If you’re looking for a Greek island retreat with spectacular sea views and plenty of seclusion to fully recharge, Villa Aloni Sinies in Corfu is the place for you. Located in an elevated position on a hillside above the upmarket area of Aghios Stefanos, the spaces have been cleverly furnished around Corfu’s wonderful north-east coast, with the private infinity pool, furnished terraces, open plan living room and all three bedrooms facing the sea.

The interiors are light and bright with a fresh, modern feel, combined with wooden beamed ceilings for added character. The lounge boasts comfortable seating with a flat screen TV and patio doors opening directly onto the raised terrace overlooking the sea-facing pool. The dining room has a table and chairs for six guests, plus the kitchen is well-equipped with everything you’ll need for a self-catering villa holiday. There are also two bathrooms featuring stylish roll top baths and a separate shower unit.

It’s all about outside living here. The lawned areas are large enough for children to explore and table tennis will keep guests entertained for hours, while a pretty dining table set under the shade of a mature tree is the perfect spot for alfresco feasts. You may find it hard to leave your lovely private pool (which is seasonally heatable if the water temperature drops below 24 degrees), but it is worth venturing down to the resort of Aghios Stefanos, just three kilometres away.  It’s the ideal place for couples and families seeking a slower pace on their Greek holiday, with a small pebble beach lapped by warm, shallow waters and a number of traditional tavernas on the water’s edge, where you can watch the boats coming and going from the picturesque harbour.
