Villa Maya

Reached by a steep track up through the olive groves just outside the traditional village of Agios Marcos, Maya commands a look-out position surveying the landscape for miles around. The indoor part of the house, in a stone two-storey building with a circular tower, is complimented by indoor/ outdoor areas including a fully equipped kitchen, lounging day bed with home cinema and giant screen by the pool.  The piece de resistance must be the pool itself, gently sloping from a water depth of just 10cm, a wooden sunbathing jetty over the shallow section gives way to the swimming area plunging to a depth of over 2 meters. Infinity style, the pool overflows on the outer edge so that the stunning views are laid out below as you swim. Add to this a Jacuzzi bath next to the pool, wonderful stylish design and décor. Villa Maya is located in the area of Aghios Marcos. Named after the patron saint of the Most Serene Republic of Venice, Agios Marcos (one of the oldest villages in Corfu) is at the central part of the island, on the upper side of the internal bay of Corfu, at a distance of approximately 17km (or 20 minutes drive) from Corfu town, the airport and the main port.
The central part of the island offers the balanced mix of luscious green scenery, mountain slopes and sea that is typical of Corfu, as well as a variety of beaches and easy access to the amenities of the local resort-villages. The nearest beach for swimming is only 1.5km or a 5 minute drive away. Taverns and restaurants are available locally, with the nearest one only 500m from the villa. Ipsos the closest village, located 2km to the East offers a range of options from greek fast-food grills to sea-food restaurant. Barbati is a further 4.5km away with its own selection of sea-front and sea-view restaurants and bars, including Piedra del Mar one of Corfu’s most eclectic places to eat that also offers beach access and a fully stocked bar. Further to the north lies the traditional fishing harbour of Kassiopi while there are plenty of exquisite beaches to be explored along the coast.

We would thoroughly recommend Maya for honeymooners, anniversaries or just as an exceptional holiday villa for two!
