Two private villas to rent in the Empress's own corner of Corfu - forested hills, sea views and the quiet luxury of nature.
Be one of the few.
Surrounded by forgotten nature, with the most spectacular view of Corfu, Achilleion Villas answer the desires of those who appreciate the genuine values of the island - with every expected comfort and a few unexpected delights.
A destination eager to share the luxuries of nature that made the Achilleion the choice of royalty, the rich and the celebrated.
Set in the same quiet corner of Gastouri, the villas share the gardens, the pools and the views - yet each has its own character. Choose modern calm, traditional warmth, or take both.
A modern villa built on an honest idea - every comfort, the least effort, all in service of the nature around it. A pool with a breathtaking view, dressed in natural pebbles, and a large green garden for time off or time together.
Four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom - two upstairs, two by the poolside - keep lively company a little apart from those seeking calm, while an unusually large living, dining and kitchen space brings everyone happily back together.


To be precise, two separate homes in one - each with its own kitchen and sitting room, and together seven bedrooms. They share the gardens, the pool and, most importantly, the barbecue and the large outdoor dining table.
It is the natural choice for large families or groups of friends who enjoy each other's company - a launchpad for the island and a gathering point for the memories you bring back.
Hidden deep in unadulterated forest, the villas open onto a serenity broken only by birdsong, with some of the island's best hiking and cycling routes out of the front gate. For a Greek island, Corfu has an extraordinary number of inland villages - but none as grand, or as famous, as Gastouri.
Over a million people visit the palace of Empress Sissi every year. Very few ever discover why she chose this place. Be one of them.

The second most visited landmark in Greece, built by Empress Elisabeth in 1890 - and the statue of Achilles for whom it is named.

Natural springs running all year, reached by car or by the forest trail that runs down from the palace.

An iconic fishing village - traditional tavernas, some of the finest fish restaurants, and a modern private marina.

A UNESCO world heritage site and the highlight of the island - two Venetian fortresses and a city never breached.
From the beaches of the south-west coast to a long-overdue gastronomic renaissance, Corfu rewards the curious. A few ideas to begin with.

Among 120+ beaches, the string between the cliffs of the south-west coast - where dense forest meets golden sand - is the most striking. Thirty minutes away.
Sea & sand
Hiking and cycling from the doorstep, horse riding, golf, every watersport - snorkeling, diving, SUP - and, for the brave, paragliding and big-game fishing.
Land & water
A renaissance led by young chefs elevating traditional cuisine, alongside grandmothers' recipes perfected with the finest local produce. Follow your instincts.
Gastronomy
A natural wonder of sculpted rock and clear water near Sidari - legend says couples who swim through find eternal love.
