Agios Stefanos Bay - Villa Dimitris
7 guests - 3 bedrooms - 5 beds - 3 bathrooms
“Agios Stefanos Bay - Villa Dimitris” sits high on the hillside above the quant yet stylish little fishing village of Agios Stefanos (Sinies) on the northeast coast of Corfu. The lofty position delivers a breathtaking combination of jaw-dropping views, cooling sea breezes and luxurious seclusion. It is hard not to feel the teeniest bit smug sitting here, drink in hand, as the sky fades from blue to blush and lights from the beautiful quaint fishing village begin to twinkle over the waters of the charming bay beneath, out towards the open abyss of the Ionian Sea.
The Space:
Nestled into the mountain side with unparalleled view of the sea, the layout of “Agios Stefanos Bay - Villa Dimitris” allows for the splendor of the view to be appreciated from each and every room.
Imagine the perfect combination of the sun and the ocean that compliments this contemporary designed villa overlooking the Bay of San Stefano, the “Kensington on the Sea” as aptly described by so many. A picturesque fisherman’s harbor with a relaxed vibe, good selection of waterfront tavernas and a few shops, all well located around the harbor and quaint beach.
Angled perfectly to enjoy early morning sunrises and at the end of the day, magnificent sunset colors. This is a home that is surrounded by nature at its finest, with a rugged mountainous backdrop and the brilliant blue ocean at its heart.
The gardens are minimal in style and easy to maintain. On one side of the property there is car parking and the property entrance, whilst on the opposite side you will find a large, private infinity pool which simply melts into the ocean. Your own brick BBQ area has chairs both in the sun and on the covered terrace providing a cool shaded spot to relax and enjoy a meal if the sun gets too hot.
Entering into the property you see straightaways the very essence of its design, a living space created on the premise of clean lines and minimalistic simplicity: an open plan living space which combines the living and dining areas of the home as well as a fully fitted kitchen which you will find just past the traditional brick archway. The living area has a beautiful ornamental marble fireplace with a simple hearth creating a warming focal point. Patio doors open directly onto the covered al fresco dining and pool terrace.
There are two twin single bedrooms on the first floor and a spacious master bedroom on the ground floor. The upstairs bedrooms have their own separate bathrooms, whilst the downstairs master bedroom has its own en suite bathroom. From the master bedroom, patio doors open and lead straight to the pool terrace and BBQ area. From the upstairs bedrooms, patio doors open to private balconies and seating areas with endless views.
Superbly constructed both inside and out, this property sits proudly in its own spacious grounds with a large private infinity pool, endless sea view points, and a generous sun terrace.
If the view over the water inspires you to explore further, “Agios Stefanos Bay - Villa Dimitris” makes for an ideal two-centre option combined with one of our two Boutique hotels found in the beautiful and livelier seafront village of Kassiopi. For the larger groups and families who are looking for additional space, this villa can be rented in conjunction with one of our other neighboring Villas.

Location:
The Villa is located just above the small fishing port village of Agios Stefanos (Sinies) on the northeast coast of Corfu; known for its crystal clear waters, idyllic beaches, and picturesque surroundings.
Arriving to Agios Stefanos Bay from the Villa is less than 1 minutes by car, or a 5 minute walk via footpath, where you’ll find bars, cafes, tavernas, supermarkets and also mooring for boats.
Avlaki beach is 3km away, and offers great water sports, sailing and horse riding.
Kerasia beach is 2km from the villa, where you will find a wonderful beachfront taverna with its own private jetty.
The beautiful fishing port of Kassiopi is 6km away, and has bars, restaurants, shops, and a good night life.
Corfu town is a 50 min drive or 20 mins by sea taxi.
Many consider Corfu to be the premier destination of the Ionian islands. With its pastel villages, rolling olive groves and grand manor houses, the island resembles Tuscany in combination with some of the best beaches in Europe.
The informed traveler tends to stay on Corfu's north-east coast, where our villa is located and where similarly most of the elite choose to unwind. One can find tiny fishing villages to eat. Rent a boat and wonder to some of Corfu’s most scenic coves, such as Erimitis, Kerasia, Agni, and Kalami. These pastoral bays still resemble the 'delectable landscape' that Lawrence Durrell fell for in the 1930s. One may venture inland to the UNESCO heritage site of Old Perithia, an enchanting, abandoned village with footpaths, honey producers, and tavernas that specialize in local dishes and delicacies!
The cosmopolitan capital is a charming clash of Venetian, British and French colonial influences. A place where evenings kick off with cocktails on the Liston (a colonnade modelled on Paris's rue de Rivoli), followed by dinner at one of the many outstanding restaurants in the confines of the island’s other designated UNESCO Heritage site of Old Corfu Town.
