Overview
A picture of elegant simplicity in southwestern Corfu, Villa Illios is waiting for you, the perfect spot for an idyllic summer holiday.
Accommodation is split between two spaces, the main villa and the bungalow. Both interiors offer ultra-modern living with clean lines, open-plan areas and heaps of natural light. Villa Illios has been built to wonderfully high specification, using as many sustainable and environmentally friendly materials as possible.
The open plan kitchen and dining area in the main villa are fully equipped, ideal for cooking up feasts to enjoy on the outside terrace during the balmy evenings. Light woods paired with pale colour palettes mean space feels bright and breezy at any time of the day, and the living room area is fitted with a full-screen television and fireplace, in the unlikely event you need to warm up!
Also on the ground floor, you’ll find a separate WC and a stunning double bedroom with en suite. All the beds are blissfully comfortable with Coco-mat mattresses and silky soft linens. Upstairs there’s a further double en suite bedroom, separate dressing room, and a spacious and bright playroom with double sofa-bed if required.
The bungalow is small but no less elegant. Offering a double bed with ample storage and a bathroom, it’s a cosy final addition ideal for couples or the older kids that may want their own space.
Entering the villa grounds down a paved path with a small lawn either side, the villa looks welcoming and unassuming. You'll initially see the bungalow and the professional kitchen . Once you make your way around the bottom of the property though, the outside space will take your breath away. Ambient lighting lines the stone walls, glowing warmly as dusk falls. Make the most of the sunshine and top up your tan on the sunbeds.
Take a refreshing dip in the L-shaped pool, or skip (carefully) across the gleaming white stepping stones. The pool sparkles a welcoming bright blue in the heat of the midday sun. Enjoy al fresco dining on the veranda with views of the glistening ocean in the distance, or in the shade under the leafy trees by the bungalow.
Or take a moment to relax in not one but two outdoor seating areas. Enjoy cocktails before dinner at the table and chairs by the pool, curl up in the comfy cushioned wicker seating in the shade with a great book or snooze the afternoon away.
What you should know…
- The villa comfortably sleeps six, but you can easily accommodate another child on the comfy sofa bed in the playroom or an infant in a cot, which is provided FOC.
- It’s a little way to the nearest supermarket, so make sure you stock up! Alternatively, gobble up some delicious mezze at the nearby tavern
- Wheelchair accessibility on the main entrance to the lower ground of the villa and to the pool

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.

Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Illios has been designed with the guests' wellbeing at heart - and this includes the smallest members of the family too! The outdoor living areas are wide and comfortable, offering plenty of shade. The swimming pool is chlorine free and has a children section, which is only 45cm deep, perfect for the little ones.
All bedrooms offer spacious and snug double beds that can be made twin on request, and there is a sofa bed in the playroom area where a teenager can sleep. For safety reasons and as it is located next to the staircase, it is recommended that young children sleep in one of the bedrooms. The two Smart TVs in the house will avoid some fighting over the remote control.
