The Olive Mill

The sleepy village of Kompitsi is midway between Corfu Old Town, on the east coast, and the sandy beaches of the west coast (a 20 minute drive). The village is surrounded by pine and chestnut forests. Vestiges of an early 18^th Century Venetian occupation can be seen in the village’s grand manor houses and a weathered campanile in the heart of the village.  

In 1740 Count Kompitsi built the Olive Mill for the pressing of the villagers’ olives. The original mill has been extended and the estate has now been turned into a magnificent villa with beautiful gardens. Stone terraces lead to a walled olive grove and the villa’s swimming pool. 18^th Century joins the 21^st Century with stylish, elegant, modern comforts.

Close to the centre of the village, with walled gardens for total privacy, the villa has tavernas and shops on its doorstep.

The Olive Mill is a rare find for those looking for a peaceful, comfortable retreat; a spacious villa, furnished as a home rather than a contemporary holiday let; beautiful gardens for both sun and shade; an easy walk to village tavernas.
