The natural charm of this area was memorably depicted by Gerald Durrell, and the northeast coast of Corfu is still widely considered to be the most beautiful area of the island. Owned and cherished by a Greco-Italian family, striking Palm Tree House epitomises Mediterranean style while keeping the unique spirit of Corfu. One of the pleasures of this exceptional property is its gorgeous mature garden with large lawns, fruit trees, fragrant jasmine and rosemary and ancient Greek species such as myrtle, heliotrope and daphne and, of course, palm trees.
The spacious interior is a very successful match of elegant antiques and modern furniture with a decorative accent on natural features: rattan, wood, mellow bricks and stone, cream linen and white walls.
The house and grounds have unobstructed views over the sea to the Greek mainland as well as Corfu town and a deep, shaded loggia makes the very best of this fine location. From the peace of Palm Tree House it is but a short drive to the mile long white pebble beach, clear sea, water sports and beachside tavernas at Barbati.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
