About this property
Corfu Beach Cottage - Durrells Dressing Rooms
Hello from our holiday Cottage with direct sea access!
We hope this message finds you and your loved ones well and safe. After these devastating lockdown months, we feel blessed we are able to offer you a rewarding holiday worth the effort of leaving home. At 6 km north of the port and the island's international airport, you will experience unmatched privacy, in a majestic location.
The cottage, located in the Villa Posillipo estate, in Kontokali, is a “more space–less humans” haven. It navigates you to a true hideaway where you can enjoy the absence of all your concerns. You are indulged in the panoramic views of its pine woods, seashore verandas, and rustic gardens and embraced by lush greenery, soul-warming waters and the sky. You have exclusive use of the estate and the cottage to lose yourself in. You have exclusive use of the cottage's beach gate that leads you to the sea and your beach terrace for your sunbathing and dining if you wish.
Ideal for a couple, a family or friends, it is renovated this summer with 1 more bedroom and its ensuite facilities, and can accommodate either as 2 studios or as a whole house max up to 6 guests. Each studio has a double bedroom and a 2-single sofa-beds in its common area. With also full baby-children facilities and featuring minimal and warm vintage decoration, the cottage is complimented with artwork painted by the owner. Air-conditioned and with a fully equipped kitchen, dining and sitting area, you are welcomed to a true retreat.
Paramount to us is your health safety and hygiene and we apply all national and international CDC guidelines towards this direction. Moreover, you yourself may choose among our customized genuine services and many adventure suggestions that can make your journey seamless, within or beyond the cottage. Tell us your preferences and concerns. We can send you our cottage e-brochure packed with ideas.
This summer perhaps nothing seems more precious than your right to exclusivity. Stay within, and enjoy a local wine tasting in your beach-front verandas, a self-made Mediterranean brunch under the wisteria terrace, a wellness massage in the woods, a cocktail night at “The Durrells ITV Series” old Venetian house in the estate, where the Durrells’ family-life in Corfu was filmed. And why not ask for more; pick fresh veggies from the kitchen garden, plan a treasure hunt, engage yourself emotionally with your holiday space and allow your hosts, Katerina and Alex, to inspire you.
You will be welcomed by Alex and Katerina with local delights. Both talented and diligent people, they will try hard to cover your holiday needs with top-notch professionalism and with skills that spark “service is black ‘n white, hospitality blooms in color”!
Beyond your gate, if you wish, you have a full basket to choose from. Enjoy sand-beach horse riding, follow the Corfu Trail and explore the lakes and the Mediterranean landscape, boost your adrenaline with an off-road safari through the island’s hidden treasures or make your holidays even more experiential and go for deep-water scuba diving to discover the spectacular Corfu Reef habitat. Ask your hosts for your digital guidebook to inspire you and to avoid any last minute hustle.
Get to know the neighborhood and the historic UNESCO town of Corfu. Close by you can visit the Kontokali Bay Resort & Spa where you can enjoy its Recreational and Wellness Amenities and Water Sport Activities. Your Mini Market is at a 2’ walk and can provide you with fresh daily necessities, while the nearest Supermarket, Bus-Stop and the Gouvia Yacht Marina with several cafes and shops is at a close distance.
The accommodation is in the heart of the island, surrounded by all the famous landmarks and popular points of interest. Most of them, as the town Palace, the Byzantine Fortresses, Paleokastritsa, the Achilleon Palace, the Capodistria Museum, Pelekas and the Golf Course are less than 20’ drive.

About the host
Hosted by Katerina & Alex

The property is in the family for 5 generations. In a unique landscape near the UNESCO Corfu town, it hosts a historic mansion -dated before 1760- which was for four years the filming location of the British series "The Durrells".
The Cottage itself was built many decades later (in 1976) and has been the summer house of the family for years. it has been a filming location and a vacation rental since 2016.
