About this property
Gerald Durell Pink Strawberry Pool Villa
Historical villa ideal for those who adore Gerald Durrell!It is located up in a hill very closed to Perama beach.The winding narrow road leads, through Ancient Olive trees that still produce the Golden Oil, in Perama, exactly opposite the- Mouse Island –Pontikonissi or petrified ship of Ulysses, to the first Villa that the Durrell family settled when they reached the Garden of the Gods, called Corfu, in the `30s. Gerald Durrell, created his love for the nature and the small beasts, in that villa, that was until the `80s left to its luck, as the Greeks say. The new owner, took it over and saved it, keeping its shape and basic look,but upgrading it to the modern standards.
