Villa Latona

About this property

Nestled in the tranquil village of Doukades, on the island of Corfu, Villa Latona is a true haven that beautifully merges history, art, and the natural splendour of its surroundings. As you step into the villa, you are immediately welcomed by a grand entrance hall, its 6-metre-high ceiling offering a sense of vast space and elegance. From here, the journey through this magnificent home unfolds.

On the ground floor, the living room invites you to relax and unwind, offering a comfortable space to enjoy the views or perhaps indulge in a quiet moment with a book. The adjoining terrace offers a perfect spot to savour a coffee or enjoy the Mediterranean breeze, while the dining room provides an ideal setting for memorable meals, with seating for up to twelve guests. For those who enjoy preparing their own meals, the fully equipped kitchen and laundry room can be accessed via a gallery or secondary entrance.

Ascend the wooden staircase from the veranda to reach the Atelier, a spacious suite that once served as Claudia’s painting studio. This serene space, with its en-suite shower room, provides a unique opportunity to experience the creative energy that once filled the room. Further along, two independent quarters on the first floor—named in tribute to the former Prime Minister George and the empowering Jane Digby—each offer a bedroom, dressing room, bathroom, and living room. These rooms also grant access to a vast first-floor terrace, where the sweeping views of the surrounding park, valley, and village create a serene atmosphere, perfect for stargazing with a bottle of wine.

The second floor offers more intimate spaces with two bedrooms, each furnished with twin beds that can be joined to form a double. These share a bathroom, while two smaller rooms, perfect for children, offer individual bathrooms. The villa's thoughtful layout ensures both comfort and privacy for all who stay.

The exterior of Villa Latona is as enchanting as the interior. Surrounded by 7,000 square metres of lush gardens, the villa is shaded by centenarian Canary palms, pines, and cypresses—creating a cool refuge from the Corfu sun. Wander along gravel paths, where dappled sunlight filters through the oak trees and palm branches, while the exuberance of the garden's flora is beautifully balanced by a restraint in colour and form. The sparkling pool invites you to take a refreshing dip or simply relax by its side, enjoying the serenity of this exceptional property.

Villa Latona is located in the charming village of Doukades, on the beautiful island of Corfu, Greece. This picturesque village, nestled on the island’s western coast, offers a serene and authentic Greek experience, away from the more crowded tourist spots. Doukades is surrounded by lush landscapes, rolling hills, and views of the Ionian Sea, providing a peaceful atmosphere ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities.

Corfu itself is renowned for its rich history, blending Greek, Venetian, French, and British influences, all visible in its architecture, culture, and cuisine. The island offers a variety of attractions, including the unesco-listed Old Town of Corfu, ancient ruins, and stunning beaches, each just a short drive away. For nature lovers, the surrounding countryside provides plenty of opportunities for hiking, while the nearby village of Paleokastritsa is home to breathtaking views and monasteries.

The villa’s location in Doukades offers a perfect balance of tranquillity and accessibility, with local tavernas, shops, and cafes just moments away, while larger towns and the Corfu Town airport are within a thirty-minute drive. It’s a true gateway to the beauty and heritage of Corfu.
