At an altitude of 250 meters above the sea channel that separates Northern Corfu from the mainland, the small traditional settlement of Vigla can be found.

The Corfiots of old named the region where one could observe from above the movement of ships from the sea “Vigla”. The name of the settlement prepares the visitor to the region for the breathtaking view he will face.

For the past two centuries one of the most beautiful villas on the island of Corfu has been standing at the edge of the settlement. The villa was built about 1864 using local white and pink stone and represents one of the most typical examples of popular Corfiot architecture of the 19th century.

The owners of the villa, with much love and respect towards the stone and the wood, have transformed it into a modern villa, which however, maintains in every aspect the traditional form of the original dwelling.

The stone architectural elements of the villa, the traditional ceilings, the antique furniture and the old photographs which adorn the walls (all of times gone by of past inhabitants and life in Vigla over the decades) offer the visitor the opportunity to live for a while in a past world that has unfortunately been lost forever.

The visitor to the villa can find peace and tranquility in magical lush green and blue scenery.

The few inhabitants of the settlement still maintain the spirit of hospitality and politeness that they had been taught by Greek tradition.
