There is no doubting the focal point of this delightful family villa in Corfu. Its spacious terraces frame a free-form infinity pool and Jacuzzi, heated in the cooler months and irresistibly inviting throughout the season. Lined with ample sun-loungers, the pool is overlooked by an al fresco sitting area on the shaded front terrace, and an outdoor dining room and barbecue accessed directly from the kitchen, each echoing the comfort of the open-plan living/dining room within the house. Air-conditioned throughout and offering cook service for real relaxation, this large villa has a surprisingly intimate atmosphere, enhanced by tasteful décor in soft natural tones.

A well-planned house for families, it has three twin rooms and two double four-poster bedrooms, each opening on to the terrace or balcony. Poised in a fold of the forested seafront slopes, Mokoras enjoys a tranquil setting and tantalising views over the trees to the sea. Shops in Agni, the Blue Flag beach of busy Kalami, and Yialiskari’s pretty pebble bay are all about a ten-minute walk away. While the walk back to the villa is uphill, it is a scenic, invigorating stroll that winds through the forested slopes and ultimately rewards you with the villa’s serene terraces and stunning sea views, a feature that only adds to Mokoras’s charm and sense of seclusion.
