This is a privately owned Villa situated in the exclusive suburb of Kommeno ten kilometres North of Corfu town. It is secluded and very private . The Villa is modern and beautifully designed. It is set on a slight slope on the side of a hill on top of which is an old Venetian fortress. The garden of the Villa is carefully manicured and there are terraced lawns. Olive trees provide ample shade from the strong summer sun and the sound of the fountain in the fish pond adds to the tranquillity. The Villa has a five by nine meter swimming pool. There is adequate space to park three cars and or motor bikes. The view from the house is quite stunning. To the East across the sea are the mountains of Northern Greece and Albania which can be clearly seen. To the West is the Gouvia marina with its array of sailing masts. And directly south are the two islands of Lazaretto and Vido and in the distance (some ten kilometres away) is Corfu town proudly displaying its two fortresses. Directly in front of the house there is a densely wooded area of Cyprus, olive and pine trees which provides beautiful greenery and a sense of "country".

Summer      
The attractions of a summer holiday in Corfu are endless. Besides the luxury accommodation described above, the island has plenty to offer a summer visitor. The months of June, July and August are rain free and warm to hot. This is virtually guaranteed. The island is green, the seawater clear and warm and there are many wonderful sand and pebbled beaches. There are water sports, a large variety of restaurants, quaint inland villages, boat, bike, quad and car hire, Aqua Land, an exceptional water theme park, golf, walks, horse riding, sailing, scuba diving, para-sailing and so the list goes on. A great place for a summer holiday.

Winter    
There are also winter events which, combined with the Cozy Comfort style of accommodation, make for a very relaxed and different get-away winter break. For example, in April each year over the Easter period, there are several well known and exclusively Corfiot events like the "throwing of the pots". Many visitors come to the island for this event. It marks the end of winter. Throwing clay pots from the hundreds of balconies in Corfu town, at exactly 11am on Easter Saturday, heralds the arrival of spring. Over the period prior to Easter there are carnival marches. The numerous Corfiot bands take to the streets to accompany all the festivities. Corfu over Christmas and New Year is a festive place to be and there is easy access by ferry and car to a small skiing facility in north-western Greece. There are organised winter walks, which take place every Saturday to different parts of the island and the cooler weather is a good time to take in some of the cultural sites and places of interest. The restaurants which operate in winter offer the true Greek cuisine prepared for the locals.
