Overview
Fonesei is a gorgeous detached villa, perched upon a wonderful vantage point on the headland that separates Kalami from Kouloura. To one side it looks down over the little bay at Kalami where the famous White House, residence of the Durrell family during their sojourn to Corfu some 80 years ago, is located. On the other it enjoys views out over Kouloura, an equally breathtaking sight.
The villa is set in attractive gardens, where the views and fabulous infinity pool can be enjoyed. But also in the gardens is a second property, a cottage that sleeps 4 people and comes as part of the Villa Fonesei package.

Layout
The main house offers accommodation predominantly on a single level. It comprises a large open plan sitting room and dining area, separate kitchen, two bedrooms, one double, one twin, a shower room and a cloakroom. There are extensive covered verandas at the front of the house and rear of the property, one with floor to ceiling glass sliding doors that forms a second dining area. Beneath the house is a laundry room.
The cottage is also on one level. Here there are two bedrooms, a double and atwin, both of which have their own en suite shower rooms, accessed via walk through wardrobes.

Both properties are furnished and maintained to a very high standard, offering space, light and elegance as standard.

Verandas and terraces

On the other side of the building a further veranda with sliding glass doors offers an alternative area to eat in, making the most of the views. This space has the option of being enclosed against the elements, just in case.
At one end of the villa there is a large patio, again amply furnished, whilst at one side of the cottage there is yet another patio with a pergola style shade over part of it.
Poolside there is a lovely sun terrace.
If you choose to stay at Fonesei your biggest holiday decision may well be where best to enjoy that barbecue!

A sweeping paved driveway brings you to the front of the house. To one side there is ample covered parking space which has been designed to blend into its surroundings.
To the rear, the property enjoys extensive gardens. Beautifully maintained lawns with splashes of rich colours from the many flowering shrubs and plants that adorn both beds and pots, all traversed by locally quarried stone pathways and sun terraces.

Private Pool
The pool is simply stunning. Infinity style, if there were a waterfall on the far side, teeming down to Kalami Bay you would probably not be surprised! The poolside patio has eight loungers and parasols, allowing guests to soak up the sunshine whilst enjoying those amazing views.
