Tugela

Tugela

5 Bedrooms / 6 Bathrooms / Sleeps 12

Bolana Bay lies between Kassiopi and Agios Stefanos, on Corfu’s north east coastline. Within the bay there are two beaches: Kogevina beach and Avlaki beach. Avlaki beach extends to a wild and uninhabited peninsula, bordered by further beaches. The peninsula, named Erimitis, has been designated a nature reserve.

To the side of Avlaki beach, set on two hillside terraces, are the magnificent villas Tugela, Erato, Capella and Pelagia. Tugela and Erato are on an upper terrace; Capella and Pelagia are on a lower terrace. Immediately below the villas are two small beaches - one is reached via a private stepped pathway from Tugela, Erato and Pelagia; Capella has a private pathway to the second beach. 

Each villa has its own privacy, established gardens and magnificent views across Bolana Bay and to the coastline of Albania. Each villa has access, via a stepped pathway, to the beach below (a 5 minute slow walk) and shared use of the estate’s tennis court.

The four villas have call on the estate’s concierge team, which offers an excellent yet unobtrusive service. Full details on request.

Villa Tugela has elegantly furnished and spacious interiors opening out on to surrounding terraces for cushioned relaxing or dining with both sun and shade.    

Because the nearby nature reserve prohibits any building, Avlaki beach is peaceful and has only a few sunloungers and parasols. There are two beachfront tavernas and a small sailing club, which has dinghies, windsurfers, paddleboards and kayaks for hire. Boat hire, to explore the coastline, is also found on the beach.

Private swimming pool (heated at extra charge of 350 Euros per week) 17 x 5 metres & depth 1.40 metres

Maid service six days per week & linen change twice per week
