The Gardener's Cottage is stone-built and set a small distance away from the other buildings. It is light and airy - and especially popular with families who enjoy the extra space in the terrace and garden area. It is also the best space for wheelchair users.
Casa Lucia is an old olive press which has been converted into 8 separate cottages. It is a peaceful and restoring place surrounded by hills and beautiful gardens plus a unique swimming pool decorated with mosaics and a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. There is daily maid service, as well as unobtrusive management to offer help and advice. Beauty treatments, alternative therapies, tai chi,qigong,bodylistening and yoga are available on site.
Sgombou is a small village in the centre of Corfu making it an ideal setting off point to explore the whole island. Lucciola restaurant is 5 minutes walk away and opens early every evening, offering traditional home-cooked Greek food at reasonable prices. 500 m away is Maria’s grillroom which offers daily specials as well as kebabs and grilled meats – they will also deliver, and there are several places that deliver quickly delicious pizzas and spaghetti dishes. We receive a box of organic vegetables, eggs, honey, oil, cakes every week. Sgombou boasts the best ceramic workshop on the island, and next door to Casa Lucia is a glass and wrought-iron workshop making small and large objects from recycled material. Although we recommend car hire for at least some of your stay, the bus stop is 5 mins away with frequent connections to the Northwest and Corfu town.
