Simpson Secret – Corfu

With its tiny hidden beaches and secluded swimming spots, north eastern Corfu is just the place you might expect to find a Simpson Secret; ideal for the more independent traveller, yet still within easy reach of the small and rather exclusive villages that cling to its unspoilt coastline.

This Secret sits tucked in amongst olive trees in its own private grounds, with the calm blue waters of Nissaki bay lapping gently below. The setting may be timeless, quintessential Corfu, but this stylish new villa is totally 21st century, with tasteful contemporary décor and wi-fi-controlled air-conditioning, TV and lighting. Smart technology aside, the real beauty of this spot is the view; park yourself on the terrace with a book and something chilled from the handy pool fridge, and savour the ever-changing outlook as the sun makes its languorous way across the infinite blue of a Greek island sky.

Once evening falls you can dine in romantic seclusion beneath the stars, or if you feel like a little company and some authentic Greek cuisine, you’ll find one of the best-rated tavernas in the area just a couple of kilometres away. Nissaki village, with its bakery, boat-hire and beaches, is a 5-minute drive.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
