Villa with Private Pool in Agios Markos, Corfu

Περιγραφή

Set in the historic surroundings of Agios Markos in Corfu, this distinctive 3-bedroom villa combines comfortable Mediterranean living with an outdoor environment of exceptional character. With a private swimming pool, BBQ area and an atmospheric courtyard whose aesthetic evokes the timeless character of a Roman forum, the property offers a setting designed around privacy, relaxation and outdoor living.

The villa comprises 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 living room and a separate kitchen, creating a practical layout for both permanent and holiday use. The living areas provide a welcoming central space for everyday life, while the independent kitchen allows the preparation and dining areas to remain clearly defined. The 3-bedroom configuration makes the residence particularly suitable for a family, couples travelling together or owners wishing to accommodate visiting friends and relatives.

The defining feature of the property, however, is found outdoors. At the heart of the exterior spaces is a private swimming pool, providing a natural focal point for summer days and relaxed afternoons in the Corfiot climate. A dedicated BBQ area complements the pool and creates an inviting environment for outdoor dining and entertaining.

What gives the villa its individual identity is its highly distinctive courtyard. Conceived with an aesthetic reminiscent of a Roman forum, the space introduces a sense of architectural theatre and historical reference rarely encountered in a conventional villa setting. Rather than functioning simply as an exterior terrace, the courtyard becomes an integral part of the experience of the property—a place for gathering, dining, relaxing and enjoying long Mediterranean evenings. Together with the swimming pool and BBQ area, it creates a sequence of outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed throughout much of the year.

This architectural character is particularly appropriate to the setting. Agios Markos is a historic Corfiot village situated in the green hills above Ipsos, an area associated with old churches, traditional buildings and a strong sense of local heritage. The village offers a quieter residential atmosphere while the coastal amenities of Ipsos remain within the wider area.

The location offers an appealing balance between the atmosphere of an established Corfiot village and access to the island’s eastern coastline. Agios Markos belongs to the Municipality of Central Corfu and the Diapontian Islands and has a documented history extending through the period of Venetian rule, contributing to the distinctive architectural and cultural identity of the settlement.

For an international buyer, the villa may work equally well as a Mediterranean second home, holiday residence or family retreat in Corfu. Its 3-bedroom accommodation provides flexibility, but it is the combination of the private pool, outdoor entertaining facilities and unusual Roman-inspired courtyard that differentiates the property. These elements create a residence where the exterior spaces are not secondary amenities but an essential part of the lifestyle and architectural experience.

The result is a Corfu property with a memorable sense of place: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, private swimming pool, BBQ facilities and a remarkable courtyard, all within the historic setting of Agios Markos and within reach of the coastline at Ipsos.
