My husband (Adrian) and I have been visiting Corfu for 42years, and 12 years ago we started looking for our dream location on the island to build our family villa.
After travelling to some 40 Greek islands and all round Corfu we decided the location had to be on the North West coast as it is here that captures the traditional charms of Corfu and benefits from unrivalled sunrise to sunset views. We have found that not many villas actually have sunset views unless you are in the North West.
Together with my sons we started building Villa Panayia in 2007 and it was completed in 2014, having survived a change of builder, the financial crisis, one of our son's emigrating to Australia, the arrival of 4 grandchildren, and Adrian's retirement.
The original idea for the villa was to have somewhere the whole family can come together and share holiday time, we are pleased to say this original idea has now been achieved.
