Corfu
Villa Chrysalis
A prime waterfront retreat in one of Corfu's most coveted coastal settings
The House
Chrysalis occupies a remarkable position on the waterfront just outside Kassiopi. Hidden among mature gardens and overlooking the Ionian Sea, it offers the rare combination of direct access to the water and the ability to walk into one of Corfu's most charming harbour villages.
The property unfolds through a collection of terraces, sitting areas, gardens, and sea-facing spaces that invite guests to spend much of the day outdoors. Breakfast overlooking the water, afternoons spent swimming from the private jetty, and evenings wandering into Kassiopi for a drink before dinner quickly become part of the daily rhythm.
Inside, the atmosphere is warm and established rather than formal. Antique pieces sit alongside comfortable furnishings, while the distinctive tower suite and sea-facing bedrooms lend character throughout. The house feels collected over time, shaped by the tastes of its owners and by its exceptional waterfront setting.
A dedicated chef and experienced villa team quietly look after daily life, allowing guests to focus on what matters most: time together, time by the sea, and the simple pleasures of a Corfu summer.

What we love most about Chrysalis is the ease with which it combines waterfront living and village life. Guests can spend the morning swimming from the private jetty, enjoy lunch overlooking the sea, and still stroll into Kassiopi in the evening without needing a car.
The villa is particularly well suited to larger family gatherings and groups of friends, offering generous communal areas alongside a variety of private terraces and quieter corners throughout the property.
While the atmosphere feels wonderfully secluded, the harbour village remains close by. Guests seeking complete isolation may prefer a more remote setting, while those who enjoy having restaurants, cafés, and local life within walking distance will find this location exceptionally rewarding.
For larger groups, Chrysalis can be paired with a nearby three-bedroom villa, creating additional accommodation while maintaining easy access between the two properties.

The Destination
Corfu
Layered and lush, Corfu reflects a different expression of Greece—one shaped by Venetian influence and a long, complex history. Its architecture, landscape, and cultural depth create a setting that feels both elegant and expansive, with a quieter, more enduring sense of refinement.
