Overview

Located on the fabled North East coast of Corfu, this beautiful, privately owned 5 acre private estate with spectacular views and beautifully landscaped grounds surrounded by sea and sky, provides the perfect setting for a truly unforgettable experience. Designed and built by a Norman Foster trained architect and built to the highest specifications, it combines a strong Venetian influence complementing traditional Corfiot features with the ultimate in contemporary comfort.

Helios II is a much sought after three bedroom property, sleeping six in luxury. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and shower. A plasma television and state of the art Sonos music system in the sitting room, TVs in all the bedrooms and Wi-Fi all contribute to the contemporary comfort and convenience the house offers its guests, all year round.

An extraordinary feeling of light and space is created by the seven French windows leading off the spectacular sitting room area and its classic open plan design, with a striking “Venetian tower,” containing two of the three bedrooms. The stunning open-plan sitting room area is dominated by a traditional Corfiot fireplace. The room is beautifully furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs creating a room for all seasons.

A wrap-around terrace that is almost integral with the inside living space, has sumptuous day beds, sun loungers and chairs with spectacular views of the sea, sky, Kaparelli Island and of the Albanian mountains across the channel. The covered loggia, barbecue and a large oval dining table seating eight, ensures that this brilliant combination of integral inside and outside living is the natural gathering point and the perfect entertaining space, enabling guests to drift inside and out with ease.

The elegant and beautifully designed kitchen is separated from the sitting room area by a stunning black granite-topped island which in turn provides the perfect Mediterranean living and an entertaining space with a high degree of comfort. A guest cloakroom and a charmingly decorated bedroom, with its own en-suite bathroom and shower, pretty beamed ceilings and access to its own private terrace completes the ground floor accommodation. The staircase leads up from the sitting room to the two exquisitely interior designed “Venetian tower” bedrooms with the Venetian feel further enhanced by the pretty beamed ceilings. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and shower.

The grounds are inter-planted with cypress, oak, judas trees, carob, pomegranates, olives and other indigenous vegetation. From the pool terrace, some beautiful stone steps and a pathway weaves its way down the shared jetty (with Helios Estate), which can be used for mooring a speedboat or tender from a larger boat, or for sea bathing! The views from Helios II are just as spectacular as those of Helios Estate, yet being closer to the sea and with the sound of the waves lapping below, one has even more of the feeling of “being on a boat.”

Helios II must be rented with the entire estate in July and August. Otherwise, may be rented separately all other  months.
