Location
About the surrounding area of Villa HalikounaVilla Halikouna holds a fantastic location on the untouched south-west side of the island of Corfu, perfect for those looking for a relaxing holiday where guests can enjoy a slower pace of life. The villa is just steps from the isolated Kanouli beach, a tranquil and natural beach, while Halikounas Beach, one of the best in Corfu, is just fifteen minutes away.
The closest village, Agios Matheos is a ten minute car journey away, this place is great to stock up on groceries, but also features cobbled streets and a Byzantine-era castle. For those looking to further explore the island, Corfu Town itself is forty-five minutes away.The island's capital is worth at least a day visit. Get lost in the labyrinth-like streets, window-shopping and strolling around, imagining all the things those old walls must have harbored back in the day.

The Island/Getting There
One of the largest and greenest of the Ionian Islands, Corfu is far more than its trademark blue-hued seas and sandy coastline. With its UNESCO World Heritage status and unbeatable strolling opportunities, there is no better place to start exploring than the main town and its historic old quarter, where ancient churches, scattered ruins and a handful of museums mean Corfu’s layers of history can be found just about everywhere. And if you’re in need of a cosy abode, take a look at our flawless villas in Corfu.

Scennic location, great villa
Stunning villa in scenic location. We stayed for a week and Villa Halikouna exceeded all expectations. It is beautifully fitted out, well equipped and maintained. Everything is clean, modern and stylish. The owner could not have been more helpful. She welcomed us with a lunch platter of locally produced food - a really nice touch on arrival.
The pool is a good size for the villa, plenty of outdoor seating both in sun and shade. In all a great place for a relaxing break. Thoroughly recommended -
