Layout & Accommodation
The estate is arranged across three independent houses:
Main Villa
You enter into a bright open-plan living and dining space with large doors out to a sea-facing terrace. The kitchen sits just beside it and connects directly to the outdoor pergola and BBQ area, so food, drinks and outdoor dining flow naturally.
On this level there are two double bedrooms (one with an extra single bed and terrace access), a contemporary wet-room bathroom and a light conservatory opening into the garden. This is the natural “family core” of the property.
Guest Annex I
A short path through the olives leads to the first guest house. It includes:
This is ideal for guests who want independence but still be close to the main house.
Guest Annex II
The second annex is a private suite: double bed, en-suite shower, open sitting area and its own balcony with elevated sea views. It works perfectly for a couple, grandparents or anyone who prefers a quieter, self-contained space.
Overall, Villa Fonesei offers five bedrooms in three buildings, with a layout that actually works in real life for extended families and high-end rentals.
Outdoor Living
Outside is where this property really lives.
At the centre of the estate is a 12m × 6m infinity pool, surrounded by broad stone terraces, sunbeds and shaded seating areas. You have space for children to play, adults to relax and everyone to be in the same area without feeling crowded.
A pergola-covered dining area with a brick-built BBQ becomes the natural focus for long lunches and evening dinners. Mature Mediterranean planting – olives, shrubs, flowering plants – softens the edges and makes the whole place feel established rather than newly built.
Different terraces pick up different light throughout the day, so you can choose sunrise coffee spots, midday shade or sunset drinks with a clear horizon.
Location: Kalami – Kouloura – North-East Corfu
Villa Fonesei is in one of the strongest micro-locations in North-East Corfu.
Kalami – pebble beach, clear water, Durrell history, tavernas and boat hire
Kouloura – iconic horseshoe harbour, traditional fish taverna, quiet even in August
Both are within walking distance.
From here you also reach by car or boat:
Kerasia, Agni, Agios Stefanos, Nissaki, Kassiopi (harbour, marina, shops)
Corfu Town and the airport are reachable within a normal transfer time, making the property practical for international owners and guests flying in for a week.
This stretch of coast is exactly where British, German, Swiss and other European buyers focus when they ask for “North-East Corfu sea-view villas”.
