Romantic Retreat Villa Akrothalassia, Corfu

Akrothalassia on the north east coast of Corfu is a very dreamy, secluded property situated deep within a private olive grove, just a few steps away from the sparkling Ionian Sea. The property's romantic charm includes a Jacuzzi bath, which has superb views of the sea with an eye-catching silhouette of an offshore island.

The name Akrothalassia is literally translated as 'on the water's edge' – possibly something to do with its seafront location?

The contemporary villa with its innovative design, from its grass-covered roof to its pool and living area that fit together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle is ideal for couples in search of something different for a holiday combining relaxation and the stimulus of interesting activities nearby.

Modern, minimalist interiors look out over stunning views of the Ionian Sea and the eye-catching silhouette of an offshore island. Green lawns slope down to the shore, and there is no lack of outdoor dining areas, while the indoor dining room is separated from the view by nothing more than a glass wall – ideal for cooler evenings. Secluded but not isolated, Villa Akrothalassia is within easy reach of north coast resorts such as Kassiopi and Acharavi, with the amenities of St Spiridon's Bay only a stones throw away.

A week's stay starts from £1415 based on 2 people sharing and includes car hire, maid service and food hamper. For further information contact CV Travel on 020 7401 1026 or visit www.cvtravel.co.uk.
