Vintage Travel offers handpicked villas with private pools in unspoilt locations. Established in 1990, our highly knowledgeable, long-standing team both in the UK and in the destinations that we operate, are always on hand to ensure your stay runs smoothly from start to finish. Each villa is handpicked by us, we visit each and every destination and every villa to provide high quality holiday homes to suit all occasions: from a cottage hideaway for a couple, a two or three bedroom house for a family holiday, to villas large enough for several families wishing to holiday together. With a wide selection of properties covering everything from historic houses in rural areas to modern day contemporary homes close to beaches, there is something for everyone. Staying in a private home is the perfect way to spend a holiday. Villas give the opportunity for complete freedom, privacy, and space in which to relax and unwind- it’s like having a home away from home!

Perched above the coastal lane that gently winds its way to the sleepy villages of Petriti and Boukari, passing some of the island’s best seafood restaurants on the way, the magnificent sweeping sea views from this lovely property are nothing short of breathtaking and certainly rank amongst the best in our Corfu portfolio. Undoubtedly this is a coveted location and the considerate local owners of Orizontas have gone out of their way to ensure that the benefits are fully maximised hence guests have at their disposal a gorgeous sweeping (suntrap!) terrace, a separate part-shaded dining terrace, much longer than average private swimming pool, natural foliage borders on either side of the property and direct sight of those remarkable 180°+ views from all the principal rooms via tall patio doors on the ground floor and glass-fronted balconies on the first floor. Internally, comfort and quality are found in equally high measure. There is air conditioning throughout, each bedroom has its own en suite shower room, a further cloakroom sits off the open plan living/dining area while all furnishings are modern, comfortable and attractive. Subtle splashes of colour in selected pieces including in some of the bedroom linens coordinate very well with the soothing, predominantly fawn-coloured décor. Should you for a moment feel you can tear yourself away from the lovely private pool then just 30m away, directly across the lane below, you can literally stroll into the sea for an alternative but no less refreshing dip!

Looking directly across the sparkling azure waters of the Ionian Channel to the Greek mainland itself the absorbing daily panorama is an ever-changing procession of watercraft of all shapes and sizes, romantically framed by a backdrop of distant rolling hills and a remarkable colour palette that becomes ever more vibrant as the sun rises. Good amenities are all found close at hand including the famous Fisherman’s Haunt seafood taverna (1.7km to the left!) and the equally famous Boukari Fish Taverna (1.6km to the right!). Unpretentious Gialos Taverna is even closer at just 1km. There are also a couple of minimarkets for everyday essentials dotted along the coastal lane or head to lively Messonghi (2.4km) for larger supermarkets, bakeries, numerous shops, bars and restaurants as well as a popular sandy beach with boat hire and water sports.
