Overview
Description
Villa Saranda is a beautiful villa located in its own one acre plot with 25 olive and fruit trees in a peaceful, location with private and direct 4 minute access on foot to the magical beach and bay of Yialiskari where the Durrell's My Family and Other Animals was filmed. A small, stone built snack bar and limited sun loungers have recently been installed enhancing the beach tastefully and discreetly. The colour of the water needs to be seen to be believed. From here it is only a short 15 minute walk via a coastal path to either Agni or Kalami where there are several tavernas, bars and small supermarkets..There are stunning views from the house including the recently enlarged patio and covered terrace where you can hear the sound of the sea and watch boats pass by. It is a natural habitat for birds, wild flowers and during spring the area is lit by fireflies.
The house and heated pool (at extra cost if required) are very private with ample verandas, comfortable seats, bbq and shaded areas. We have equipped as a home from home with a high level of facilities - way above the normal standard of holiday properties with every attention to detail.
Each of the three bedrooms has its own en suite - the two doubles with walk in power showers and the twin with a bath and shower. The two double bedrooms have floor to ceiling sliding glass doors providing stunning views across over the beach to Albania and Kalami.
The villa is family friendly and the seasonally heated pool (at extra cost if required) is great for families and very safe. From an ample parking area to the ground floor (with a double en-suite bedroom), the outside verandas and the pool there are just 2 steps!
A cot, highchair and babyseat are available.
The kitchen is well equipped with a Nespresso coffee maker, microwave, wine cooler, integrated dishwasher and oven/hob and a wide range of kitchen equipment.
The open plan living area has high beamed ceilings with comfortable settees, coffee table and a desk area for a computer. The wall mounted TV with a large number of streamed channels ( with a full UK and Sports package ) and Netflix. A Sonos sound system provides music both inside and outside
Good, reliable internet coverage is important for most of our guests. To ensure the best possible reception the latest Starlink satellite system with excellent download and upload speeds
There are several outside seating areas - a large table on the covered terrace with two smaller tables positioned to maximise the panoramic views. There are six rattan sun beds and a recently extended lounge area with settee, large parasol, armchairs and low table for an evening sundowner admiring the view across to Albania, the beach below and the busy Corfu Straits always active with yachts, ferries and fishing boards.
Saranda is unique and many of our guests have returned year after year to enjoy this special location in arguably one of the most beautiful parts of Greece - do have a look at the Reviews on the Simply Owners website

Beautiful villa with wonderful views and heated pool
By Carmen on 27-Apr-2025We had a wonderful stay. It's an amazing place with a beautiful view. We enjoyed swimming in the heated pool and in the sea. The villa was very well equipped. There was all we needed for a great vacation. We hope to come back soon.
Unique location with stunning views
By Candida on 21-Apr-2025When we entered the property, we all had a WOW moment. The house is equipped with everything you need for a fabulous stay whatever the season, and the exterior is thoughtfully laid out to maximise the enjoyment of its amazing position and stunning views in this very select area of Corfu. The proximity of Gialliskari bay was fab, just a five-minute walk downhill. All communications with the owner were great and quickly followed up, the instructions and information for the house and the area were comprehensive and helped with planning. The on-site husband and wife team who manage the house were efficient, friendly and helpful.It felt more like a very lovely and well cared for home than a soulless holiday let and we certainly lucky to be there. Although our stay was in April before the season officially got started, spending Easter in Corfu was wonderful, the weather was good enough to brave the sea, the wildflowers were pretty and not having to share it with the summer crowds was fabulous.All in all, an idyllic holiday in a little slice of paradise, you will not regret booking this villa.
Unique location

Write a response Beautiful property and location. Yes it’s up a hill but that’s its beauty. We had days we explored and others we relaxed. We had hired one quad bike and took it turns to travel out, saves the legs when collecting water. As we were staying in October when things started to close we got to appreciate both sides of the island- busy tourist season one week and quieter the next. We appreciated the regular cleaning and laundry service it was a real holiday treat. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful Villa in Stunning Location
By Erik on 08-Sep-2023Beautiful villa in stunning location near Kalami and Agni with heated pool. Incredible location, semi-private beach, restaurants come and pick you up by boat. Nice walk to Kalami. The drive to the house is not for the faint at heart, as is all traffic on Corfu.
