Villa Rosa

Ano Korakiana

Garden Description:  The property lies at the top of a hill with amazing views across the valleys.

The garden was developed into its current format some eight years ago by Sarah Law, local estate agent and very keen gardener.  The property was vacant for a while and the garden did what gardens do when not maintained regularly so as the new owners we have been keen restore it to its former glory.  The property runs off a water tank, a sterna as they are known, so the garden was designed to be self-sustaining in the dry months.  We only water the small lawn.  Nevertheless, the plant selection is such that they are verdant, flower wonderfully and grow vigorously.  We are careful to encourage as many bees as we can and our swathes of gauras, sage, lavender and rosemary are much beloved by them.  Beds of natives provide ever-rotating interest across the seasons, and the olives give shade as well as an abundance of oil.  It is remarkably peaceful here and we hope you will enjoy your visit.

Delicious home-made cakes and refreshments will be available throughout the day. Donations will be given to Melissa, a Corfu based organisation that supports young adults with learning difficulties.
