Luxurious villa with pool overlooking the beautiful Agni Bay

Description

The Olive Press - Agni Bay has six bedrooms comfortably sleep twelve guests. Set within an enchanting olive grove, overlooking the beautiful bay of Agni.

Set within an enchanting olive grove, overlooking the beautiful bay of Agni, the Agni Olive is a unique 6 bedroomed villa transformed by the sure touch of its owner, Giuseppe, into a romantic and utterly delightful hideaway. It must be one of the most bewitching houses in Corfu, full of character, chic, a skilful blend of old and new. Many features of the old olive press have been incorporated into the house - vaulted brick and stone walls and openings, millstones put to use as tables. A broad paved terrace catches the sun for much of the day and looks down over the olive trees to the sea and the mainland opposite.

The magical swimming pool has been modeled around the 'Baths of Aphrodite'. This mythical location is where the the Goddess of Love used to take her bath in a cool pond near Polis. According to legend, Aphrodite used to bathe in this pond, set within an olive grove with sweet smelling wild flowers. It is here that she met her beloved Adonis for the first time. Adonis was hunting in the Akamas forest when stopped to quench his thirst. He was struck by the sight of the naked goddess bathing in the crystal waters. Aphrodite and Adonis were instantly bewitched by each other's extraordinary beauty.

The two swimming pools makes the Olive Press one of the most desirable rental properties in the Agni area.

This setting has been imaginatively recreated at the Olive Press with two pools; an upper pool which cascades into a lower pool.

The main property, which houses the original olive press, has an open-plan dining/living room with kitchen. The first floor, which is reached by a wooden staircase, has two twin-bedded rooms and a family bathroom. On the upper floor is a double bedroom with en suite bathroom. The bedrooms are air conditioned.

Doors from the main olive press living room open on to a large shaded terrace with sea views down to Agni Bay. To help you enjoy the setting, there are easy chairs and a large wooden dining table.

The ground floor of the property has been converted into a separate annex with living area, kitchen, 3 bedrooms (1 double and 2 twin) with 2 bathrooms. The bedrooms are air conditioned.

The three upper bedrooms (all air-conditioned) are reached via an open wooden staircase which has been constructed using part of the old press.

At the top of the first flight of stairs and at the front of the house is a twin-bedded room, simply furnished to set off the handsome stone walls. Two windows overlook wonderful views over Agni Bay.

The original olive press has been converted into a large living area. At one end is a fireplace, set off by unusual curved couches constructed of stone bases with comfortable cushioning, that face the open fireplace. The walls are hung with old tools and artefacts recalling the building's past. Double French doors lead on to the large upper sea view terrace.

The kitchen area is amazing - unconventional perhaps in its artistic design, but nevertheless well-equipped. It houses all modern appliances including a dishwasher and oven (microwave/grill/conventional oven).

The annex occupies the lower part of the property and has separate access and offers traditional accommodation for an additional 6 people.

Large patio doors and windows on two sides of the living area make the dividing line between indoors and out almost invisible - a real garden room. These patio doors are the entry to the property.

Agni Bay: In Greek Agni means un-spoilt and this describes Agni perfectly - just three Tavernas (each with their own jetty for mooring up to) and a sprinkle of local buildings. The bay is reached mainly by rented motor boats, although recently there is now a narrow road down into the bay. Each evening we offer a 'Speed Boat' taxi service, from surrounding bays to Taverna Agni. The above video shows the exciting experience.
