Alfieri Nissaki, Alfieri Corfu, Ionische Inseln 49084 Griechenland

Set into the hillside above Nissaki on Corfu’s north-east coast, this contemporary villa looks out across the Ionian Sea toward the distant mainland mountains. The property occupies a secluded position among olive trees, cypress and Mediterranean shrubs, while remaining only a short walk from the beaches, harbour and tavernas of the village below. Built from locally quarried stone and pale natural materials, the residence has been carefully integrated into the surrounding landscape, softening the scale of the architecture against the hillside.

Arriving through landscaped gardens edged with lavender, bougainvillea and clipped hedging, the villa gradually reveals itself through a sequence of terraces and sea-facing levels. The elevated orientation allows uninterrupted views across the coastline from almost every principal room, with the horizon visible from sunrise through to the final evening light over the water.

The interiors extend across 450 sqm (4,844 sq.ft.) and have been designed around openness, natural light and continuity with the outdoor spaces. Large sliding glass panels connect the living and dining areas directly to expansive terraces, while pale stone surfaces, soft neutral tones and lightly textured finishes reflect the brightness of the sea outside. The principal reception spaces feel calm and understated, allowing the landscape to remain the focal point throughout the house.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area occupy the centre of the main level, with long sightlines extending directly toward the sea. Generous dining areas, shaded terraces and multiple outdoor seating spaces allow the house to function equally well for quiet family stays or larger groups during the summer season. A book left open beside the pool catches the movement of the afternoon breeze.

The villa accommodates up to 16 guests across eight bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, private terrace or balcony, and individual sea or hillside outlook. Natural materials and restrained detailing continue throughout the sleeping areas, where floor-to-ceiling openings frame uninterrupted coastal views. Several bedrooms open directly onto terraces beneath pergolas, creating shaded outdoor areas protected from the stronger summer sun.

Two swimming pools are arranged across different terrace levels, both positioned to maximise the panoramic setting above the coastline. Wide decks, outdoor dining areas and lounge spaces create multiple vantage points across the Ionian Sea, while the hillside planting preserves both privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. In the evening, the illuminated terraces and pools appear almost suspended above the coastline below.

The property combines contemporary comfort with practical design features suited to long seasonal use, including expansive entertaining areas, large terraces, landscaped gardens and multiple independent guest zones.

Additional features include two swimming pools, outdoor dining areas, terraces, landscaped gardens, balconies and panoramic sea views.
