Ionian Islands, Corfu, Giannades, Greece

This much loved home is in a quiet countryside location, but only a short drive to the pretty village of Giannades, with its village shop and traditional taverna. The Golf course and Ermones beach are nearby.

On two floors, the ground floor has a spacious open plan living area, with a hand crafted solid wood kitchen at one end. The kitchen has a window overlooking the olive groves, and a patio window opening onto a terrace. At the other end of the room is the living room, with an elaborate marble fireplace and TV unit. Another pair of patio windows allow lots of light to flood into the room and lead out onto another terrace.

Also on the ground floor is a modern bathroom and a good sized double bedroom with fully fitted wardrobes and another terrace.

A marble staircase with a handcrafted wrought iron railing leads to the larger main bedroom. This beautiful room has three patio windows with views in all directions, and a large en suite bathroom.

On the lower level is a space currently used as a storeroom. It could be converted into a self contained apartment, or used as a garage.

The house has full oil fired central heating, and double glazed windows with automatic shutters, so is ideal for year round living.

The house has been built in the centre of a beautiful olive grove, producing excellent quality olive oil every year. There are lots of other mature fruit trees and the land has been fully fenced. In addition there are two wells on the land, ideal for irrigation purposes.
