San Stefano Estate

Benitises

Highly atmospheric 18th century estate with striking hillside terraces and coastal views.

This famous house near Benitses passed into the family to the current owners, the Manessis, as a marriage dowry in the late 19th century. Built in the early 1780’s by a member of the Venetian Justiniani family, it was once the centre of a thriving agricultural estate with thousands of vines and citrus trees. Today it still sits within a romantically planted garden perched high above the Corfu Straights.

Directions:

Coming south from Corfu Town on the coast road to Benitses, turn up the road to right between Kaiser’s Bridge and Benitses signposted Grande Mare Hotel. Go up this road before you reach the entrance to the Hotel.

Turn left here and then almost immediately turn right up the hill on a dirt road. Just keep on this road and you will come through our gate. On the right , by the swimming pool.
