Nissaki is a small village that means ‘little island’, with its small shingle cove and tavernas, it still has the same sense of peace now as ten years ago. On the hillside above Nissaki proudly sits Villa Helena.

Helena is reached from the main coastal road by a three minute drive up the hillside. Built on a steep hillside, this ensures not only privacy but views from each of the rooms are spectacular and maximised by the modern design being built over several levels. Facing south east Villa Helena, built by a local family, grandly stands above Villa Antigone and the fabulous view beyond the ‘blue flag beach’ at Barbati across Corfu’s fascinating coastline towards the distant mountains of the Epiros mainland. The villa is ideal for a large family or group of friends with its four bedrooms and spacious living areas. The villa was originally designed to be a second home with its unusual design to provide different living areas all with excellent and attractive furnishings and impressive views from the various terraces and balconies.

The villa leads into a large atrium style living room with a feature fireplace, which expands out onto a large covered terrace perfect for breakfast dining and avoiding the midday sun during lunch, this in turn leads to an open terrace, all taking in those spectacular views. On the same level is a twin bedroom and adjacent shower room. A few steps lead to a split level dining room and a well equipped kitchen. Just down from this level is the open sun terrace and swimming pool, again its views benefitting from the elevated position. The first floor consists of a master double bedroom with en suite bathroom then further up to a mezzanine floor to a two twin bedrooms sharing an additional bathroom.

Villa Helena is an excellent large villa taking in the peace and quiet of Corfu’s north eastern coastline with some of the best views on the island and a fantastic location to explore the delights of Corfu.

Villa Helena has numerous steps therefore may not be suitable for those with walking difficulties.
