Agios Stefanos Bay - Villa Maria

THE ALL NEW VILLA MARIA AT AGIOS STEFANOS BAY



A MASTERCLASS IN IONIAN LUXURY



Forget everything you knew. Agios Stefanos Bay: Villa Maria has just completed a full, ground up refurbishment, reopening its doors as a premier sanctuary of modern luxury. Every finish is of the highest quality, selected for the most discerning global traveler. This is essentially a brand new, ultra luxurious home waiting for its first distinguished guests.



THE LOCATION: UNCHANGED AND UNRIVALED



While the villa is transformed, its iconic setting remains magnificent. Perched high on the hillside, it commands the absolute best position above the quaint yet stylish fishing village of Agios Stefanos. This lofty vantage point delivers a breathtaking trinity of jaw dropping panoramic views, cooling sea breezes, and total luxurious seclusion.



Imagine yourself on your private terrace, drink in hand. It is impossible not to feel a sense of profound serenity as the sky fades from blue to blush. Below, the lights from the beautiful fishing village begin to twinkle like jewels over the calm waters of the bay, stretching out towards the open abyss of the Ionian Sea.



THE SPACE: SOPHISTICATED DESIGN, FLAWLESS EXECUTION



The new design aesthetic is a refined blend of organic textures and sleek modern minimalism. Every room and general living space is meticulously ocean facing, ensuring the breathtaking view remains the star of the show.



Spread across two levels, the villa is illuminated by newly installed, subtle LED lighting and features stunning exposed natural wood beams in the social areas, contrasting beautifully with cool stone tile floors.



LOWER LEVEL: ELEVATED ENTERTAINING



The entrance level houses the main social hub. Large French patio doors have been upgraded to seamless glass sliders, creating a flawless indoor and outdoor transition. The new living room features custom neutral toned sofas and a chic modern wooden coffee table.



The chef quality kitchen is a masterpiece, featuring bespoke natural wood cabinetry, integrated luxury appliances, and stunning textured tile backsplashes with shelf lighting. The adjacent dining area boasts a gorgeous solid wood table with woven chairs, creating the perfect setting for a gourmet feast.

Location:

The Villa is located just above the small fishing port village of Agios Stefanos (Sinies) on the northeast coast of Corfu; known for its crystal clear waters, idyllic beaches, and picturesque surroundings.



Arriving to Agios Stefanos Bay from the Villa is less than 1 minutes by car, or a 5 minute walk via footpath, where you’ll find bars, cafes, tavernas, supermarkets and also mooring for boats.



Avlaki beach is 3km away, and offers great water sports, sailing and horse riding.



Kerasia beach is 2km from the villa, where you will find a wonderful beachfront taverna with its own private jetty.



The beautiful fishing port of Kassiopi is 6km away, and has bars, restaurants, shops, and a good night life.



Corfu town is a 50 min drive or 20 mins by sea taxi.



Many consider Corfu to be the premier destination of the Ionian islands. With its pastel villages, rolling olive groves and grand manor houses, the island resembles Tuscany in combination with some of the best beaches in Europe.



The informed traveler tends to stay on Corfu's north-east coast, where our villa is located and where similarly most of the elite choose to unwind. One can find tiny fishing villages to eat. Rent a boat and wonder to some of Corfu’s most scenic coves, such as Erimitis, Kerasia, Agni, and Kalami. These pastoral bays still resemble the 'delectable landscape' that Lawrence Durrell fell for in the 1930s. One may venture inland to the UNESCO heritage site of Old Perithia, an enchanting, abandoned village with footpaths, honey producers, and tavernas that specialize in local dishes and delicacies!



The cosmopolitan capital is a charming clash of Venetian, British and French colonial influences. A place where evenings kick off with cocktails on the Liston (a colonnade modelled on Paris's rue de Rivoli), followed by dinner at one of the many outstanding restaurants in the confines of the island’s other designated UNESCO Heritage site of Old Corfu Town.
