An idyllic Corfu villa that’s full of character, the 5-bedroom Villa Zuri also occupies the most wonderful beachside location. Situated on a private estate, itself situated on an olive grove, this beautiful villa comes with its own delightful gardens and private pool just steps away from the sand.
Villa Zuri is just a few minutes’ drive from Lefkimmi in southern Corfu. With room for up to 10 adults and 2 children, this villa exudes a serene feel. The villa has its own private entrance to the beach where you will have use of sunbeds and your own beach gazebo for dining and relaxing.
The olive trees lend shade to the superb pool area with poolside sun loungers and an outdoor dining space. Another terrace can be found on the upper floor of the house, providing further space for blissful relaxation.
Inside the house, you have a living room and dining room with direct access from the pool terrace, as well as a kitchen with a dishwasher, Nespresso machine, microwave and many more appliances. The house is also equipped with LCD TVs, Wi-Fi and a games console, plus it’s fully air conditioned.
Over two floors, there are five bedrooms at Villa Zuri. On the ground floor, you have a master bedroom and two guest rooms – one double and a twin. The upper floor has two more master bedrooms with balcony, as well as a mezzanine-level guest room with a double bed and twin beds – ideal as a family room. All bedrooms have their own well-appointed en suite bathroom.
Just a few minutes’ drive from the villa, the small town of Lefkimmi offers restaurants and cafés, and useful amenities including a supermarket, post office and bank. Buses run regularly from Lefkimmi which can take you to the capital, Corfu Town.
Corfu Town is a real must-see, its grand buildings and varied European influences creating a place that’s a joy to discover. Look out for the grand Spianada with its elegant gardens, the covered café terrace of the Liston and the Palace of St Michael and St George – just some of Corfu’s surprising and fascinating sights.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ZuriIf you’re looking for a taste of the real Corfu, Lefkimmi is a good place to start. This small southern town hasn’t been overdeveloped with tourists in mind, but you will find the things you need. There are several restaurants within a short walk of each other, and it’s only a few minutes’ drive to the nearest beaches, Alikes and Bouka Beach among them.
You will find quaint villages and areas of natural beauty all over the island, and there are plenty more beaches along the way. Several are ranked among the best in Greece. Paleokastritsa, Myrtiotissa and Kavos are all on the list, the latter being the most popular beach in the south of the island. It’s only a 15-minute drive from Lefkimmi and offers beach bars and sporting activities.
Head up to Corfu Town and experience the island’s enchanting capital. Be sure to stop by the Spianada – it’s a spot everyone knows. The landscaped gardens and bandstand of this seafront square give it a little grandeur, something it shares with its neighbour, the Liston. This covered gallery of café terraces is the place to be in Corfu. You should definitely treat yourself to a visit while you’re in town. The Spianada sometimes hosts live music performances and entertainment too.
Make some time to see the nearby Old Fortress – it will reward you with some wonderful views once you have made the considerable climb to the top. Another of Corfu’s most notable buildings is the 19th-century Palace of St Michael and St George, originally built as the residence of the British High Commissioner during a period of British rule. If heritage is your thing, a tour of the palace is a must. The excellent Museum of Asian Art now occupies part of the building and, after almost 100 years in existence, has around 15,000 intriguing pieces in its collection.
Corfu has numerous churches, some of which have interesting art collections of their own, like the Byzantine Church of St Jason & St Sosipater. The church with the red dome you may spot is Saint Spyridon’s Church, where the Corfu’s patron saint was laid to rest – it’s notable for its painted ceiling and the tallest bell tower on the island. You can see the work of local artists down the centuries at the Municipal Gallery, also found at the Palace of St Michael and St George, while the Archaeological Museum is the place if you want to go back even further in time.
The Campiello, as the medieval quarter of the town is known, is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s as jumbled and eclectic as you would hope it to be, with narrow streets and hidden squares, feeling like a little bit of Italy on a Greek island.

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.

How to reach Corfu island
There are two ways to get to Corfu island: either by flight or by ferry.
By plane: During April to October, several direct flights arrive to "Ioannis Kapodistrias" Airport from Europe as Corfu is one of the most popular travel destinations in Greece. During these months, the airport also receives many domestic flights every day from Athens and Thessaloniki.
By ferry: Travelling by ferry is the most popular way of transport in Greece. Ferries to Corfu depart from Patra and Igoumenitsa. If you are travelling from Europe, Corfu is easily accessible by ferry from Venice, Bari, Brindisi or Ancona too. You can easily book your tickets using the link below or the search engine - the port you are looking for is "TBC".
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Zuri is an excellent choice for a family break. An outdoor pool and terrace, beautiful gardens and the beach just a few steps away will definitely score points with the kids. The house also has plenty of TVs, a games console and Wi-Fi should they need any more entertainment.
As well as the beach just outside your door, there’s the popular Kavos beach just down the coast. Many more well organised and family friendly beaches can be found around the island. At Agios Petros, over on the west coast, you will also find the Corfu Aquarium which has marine life of all kinds to see.
At the big Aqualand water park, about 20 minutes’ drive from Corfu Town, there is a huge range of rides, pools and slides that everyone can enjoy. With thrills like the Tornado and Catapult, and a pirate ship and baby pool for younger children, the park has something for every age – adults will have a great time too.
Another activity you can enjoy together is a glass-bottomed boat tour. Departing from the Old Port in Corfu Town, the craft is big enough for a few dozen people, and shows you the creatures of the Ionian Sea you might otherwise never see.
A boat trip is always a winning idea, so you could also go island hopping, visiting the likes of pretty Paxos and peaceful Sivota. For a shorter excursion, make your way to Kanoni, a short distance from the centre of Corfu Town, and make the 5-minute crossing to Mouse Island. This is one of the most picturesque spots in the area, and a visitor favourite.
Corfu Town has lots more that kids will love. Look out for the immersive museum Casa Parlante, which depicts the life of a 19th-century noble family in Corfu, with animatronic figures and even the sounds and smells of the time. The medieval part of the town also gives a look at the past – the Campiello is a place to get lost in the labyrinth of streets, however, so keep an eye on them!
Make sure you visit the grand café terrace at the Liston, possibly the most famous street in town. It’s right by the Spianada Square with its elegant park, which is a lovely spot to stop for a break. Aside from the Liston, there are loads of places to eat around the Old Town, with pizzas and fast food alongside traditional Greek dishes.
Corfu chicken, known locally as pastitsada, is one of the best-known dishes associated with the island, and young diners are sure to love it. For dessert, bougatsa and karithopita are worth looking out for – a sweet cream pie and tasty walnut cake respectively.
