Greece Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to present this historic estate, located in the affluent northeast part of Corfu, well known as “Kensington on Sea.” Built on a peninsula, this magnificent 16th-century Venetian fort stands as a Corfu landmark. Originally built to guard the sea between Corfu and Albania, its sister fortress can still be seen across the water on the Albanian coast, adding to the property’s rich historical tapestry. Today, this gem of an estate resonates with the heart and creative energy of its current owners. They have breathed new life into the original building, transforming it into a haven that feels plucked from the pages of a novel. Complete with a marina and positioned within proximity to the vibrant Kassiopi scene, the property’s architecture and décor seamlessly blend Venetian, Corfiot, and British influences. The garden, designed by a famous Australian International landscape gardener, showcases a wide variety of ornamental plants as well as magnolia, jacaranda, cypress, lemon, gravilla robusta and queen of the night orchids. A gate set within the garden wall provides convenient access to the harbor’s jetty, while a separate gated entrance welcomes guests arriving by car. The villa is surrounded by mature Mediterranean gardens, where the intoxicating scent of the rare and wild maquis mingles with the sea breeze along the coastal edge. The main house boasts an array of elegant living spaces, including a grand sitting room, a cosy study, a well-appointed kitchen, a veranda, and multiple sea-facing terraces for al fresco dining and relaxation. The second level offers two additional bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, providing ample space for family or guests. A separate apartment at sea level, complete with three bedrooms (two en suite) and a fully equipped kitchen, provides ideal accommodations for staff or teenagers, offering privacy and independence. Rounding out the estate’s exceptional offerings is the charming “Music Room,” a detached guesthouse thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs and enjoyment of younger guests. An infinity pool shimmers, surrounded by expansive patios ideal for basking in the sun. Meandering pathways weave through groves of towering trees, offering cooling shade. The residence offers a complete luxury experience, accommodating up to eighteen guests in its nine well-appointed bedrooms. A dedicated house manager oversees a comprehensive suite of services, including a private chef, concierge, meticulous gardener, pool maintenance and daily housekeeping. The heart of the home resides on the first floor, where four en suite double bedrooms await, including a grand master suite with its own private sitting area. Venetian Times is a haven of idyllic Mediterranean living, boasting a coveted waterfront location with its own harbour and charming taverna adjacent to an historic chapel consecrated in 1095. The estate’s fairytale gardens, bursting with vibrant purple and white hues, offer numerous secluded nooks for tranquil moments, while breathtaking sea views showcase a captivating panorama of ships and boats traversing the Ionian Sea. We invite you to live the Venetian Times experience and celebrate the rich culture, music tradition and natural beauty of Corfu Island.
