Agios Markos (Corfu) Townhouse

Agios Markos is one of Corfu’s protected Venetian villages, a hillside cluster of stone houses and narrow lanes above the island’s northeast coast. This renovated residence sits within it, keeping the character of authentic Corfiot architecture while offering the comfort of a full modern restoration. The house measures approximately 130 sqm on a 320 sqm plot, with sea views over the surrounding landscape.

Thoughtfully restored and presented in excellent, move-in condition, the house is arranged over multiple levels, as older Corfiot homes often are. The main accommodation holds three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, a separate kitchen, and a separate dining area, so the living, cooking and sleeping spaces stay distinct rather than open-plan. One bedroom has a fireplace, a period feature that also adds warmth on cooler evenings.

A lower level, reached by internal steps, provides a flexible office together with an additional bathroom. That lower level is genuinely useful: it works as a study for remote working, a guest room, or extra accommodation, depending on how you use the house. Air conditioning units have been fitted throughout, so the interior stays comfortable through the warm Corfu summer. The restoration keeps the details that give the house its character, including wooden shutters and traditional finishes, while bringing it up to a modern standard.

Outside, the house makes the most of its setting. Stone-paved terraces and balconies step through the plot, and a pergola covered with climbing plants shades an outdoor dining area, the kind of spot that gets used for long lunches and evening meals through the season. The terraces capture sea views and light, and the village’s traditional, enclosed layout gives the outdoor spaces a real sense of privacy.

Rental potential
Corfu draws visitors across a long Ionian season, and this house lets on the strength of exactly what makes it distinctive: the traditional character of Agios Markos, a protected Venetian village of stone houses and narrow lanes rather than a resort strip. Guests looking for the authentic side of the island tend to seek out places like this, and its proximity to Corfu Town, with the Venetian old town, the port and the airport all a short drive away, keeps it easy to reach and well placed for day trips and evenings out.

Location - distances
The village sits on the green northeast side of Corfu, in the foothills below Mount Pantokrator, with the coast a short way downhill. The resort and beach of Ipsos are roughly 6 km away, about a ten-minute drive, and offer everyday amenities: restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, beach bars, and water sports. Corfu Town, with its Venetian old town, port and services, is about 12 km away, and Corfu International Airport is a similar distance, so the island’s connections are close without the village losing its quiet. The wider area, from Dassia to Pyrgi, is one of the island’s most established areas for both residents and visitors.

This house trades on character: Venetian-influenced architecture, a careful renovation, sea views, and outdoor spaces suited to the Corfu climate, in one of the island’s most atmospheric villages. For buyers drawn to the traditional side of Corfu rather than a modern build, it is a rare combination of authenticity and comfort, ready to move into.
