Full Description
One of the most exquisite properties in Corfu, Linamia stands on the hillside overlooking the Ionian Sea and the mountains on the mainland. An imposing Mediterranean country style villa, it is approached via wrought iron gates set in stone walls and a pretty meandering driveway through the olive groves and cypress trees.
The main entrance door opens into an impressive double height hallway, with the fabulous vista across a courtyard to the sea and mountains beyond. To one side is a spacious living room, with a stone fireplace and patio windows opening onto the terrace. This leads into the large comfortable kitchen and dining room and an additional indoor/outdoor covered dining area, perfect for al-fresco dining.
To the other side of the hallway are two luxurious double bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, and patio windows opening onto the terrace from which to enjoy the stunning view.
The entrance hall has two elegant staircases leading upstairs. A galleried landing leads to two more double bedrooms on one side, with ensuite bathrooms and doors opening onto sea facing balconies. On the other side is the master bedroom suite, including a study with an open fireplace and an ensuite bathroom with walk in shower, bath and w.c. This bedroom benefits from a separate outside staircase leading to the front of the house.
There is a spacious basement accessed by a wide staircase from the entrance hallway. This provides space for laundry, ironing and additional storage.
A wisteria covered pathway leads to the large infinity swimming pool and terrace, and covered dining area. The pretty stone built guest cottage is also here, accessed by a few more steps. It has its own private terrace and is secluded from the pool area. A footpath leads down through the olive trees to a private sea bathing platform. A 'sunset terrace' has been constructed especially to enjoy the stunning sunset and spectacular views.
Between the villa and the entrance gateway, there is another building with an apartment located above a 3-car garage and storage area. This apartment has a kitchen, reception room, bedroom and bathroom.
