The Sylva Estate

Description

Located in the Kanoni area of Corfu, this magnificent beachfront estate has views over the small island of Pontikonissi (Mouse island). Shimmering within a luscious forest of multi-hued greenery this prestigious villa gives you unique privacy yet it is only 10 minutes away from Corfu town, airport and port.

The grandeur of the villa, gardens and the vast span of unobstructed views over the Ionian sea are incomparable. Manicured lawns and ornate flowering shrubbery are ever present. There is a multitude of dining spaces leaving you wondering where to take your next delicious meal, opting to choose a new spot each time according to the view that suits your present mood. The interior is refined and stylish and rooms blend easily from one to the next. Moroccan marble floors, summery cool-coloured furnishings, and huge sliding glass doors, which pass out of sight into the walls, instantly create an ambiance of outdoor living.

The original house featured in two Hollywood productions, "The Executioner" with George Pepperd & Joan Collins in 1970, and "James Bond: For Your Eyes Only" with Roger Moore & Carole Bouquet in 1981. A major renovation took place in 2002.
