Casa Arcadia

Casa Arcadia is positioned within the historic centre of Corfu Town, occupying an upper-floor setting among the layered urban fabric of the UNESCO-listed Old Town. Surrounded by the characteristic scale and rhythm of the historic quarter, the apartment enjoys an elevated outlook across the rooftops and architectural forms that define one of the Mediterranean’s most distinctive townscapes.

Fully renovated, the property balances the proportions of a traditional Corfiot residence with a contemporary approach to living. Extending across 132 sqm (1,421 sq.ft.), the apartment is defined by generous ceiling heights, balanced volumes and a calm material palette that creates a sense of continuity throughout. Natural light moves easily through the interior, enhancing the openness of the spaces while maintaining a connection to the historic character of the building.

The principal living areas unfold as a single, open-plan environment where the sitting room, dining area and kitchen are arranged within a cohesive layout. Large openings draw light deep into the interior, while carefully integrated architectural detailing allows the spaces to feel both refined and comfortable. The kitchen forms part of the overall composition rather than a separate room, contributing to the fluidity of the layout and reinforcing the apartment’s contemporary character.

A balcony extends from the main living space, creating a direct connection to the surrounding cityscape. From here, the layered rooftops, church towers and historic facades of Corfu Town form an ever-changing backdrop throughout the day. The elevated position allows the apartment to remain connected to the atmosphere of the Old Town while maintaining a sense of privacy above the streets below.

The three bedrooms continue the restrained architectural language found throughout the residence. Well-proportioned and quietly detailed, they prioritise comfort, natural light and simplicity of design. Original elements retained within the renovation provide subtle references to the building’s heritage, while the overall atmosphere remains contemporary and understated. The bathrooms are finished with clean architectural lines and carefully selected materials that complement the wider interior palette.

Despite its central location, the apartment benefits from a sense of calm rarely associated with a historic town centre. The substantial construction of the original building, combined with modern upgrades including double glazing and air conditioning, creates comfortable year-round living within the heart of Corfu Town.

The property places daily life within walking distance of the Liston, the Old Fortress, the waterfront and the cultural landmarks that define the island’s capital. More than its proximity to these destinations, however, Casa Arcadia is distinguished by its position within the historic centre itself, where the architecture, scale and rhythm of the Old Town remain an integral part of everyday life.
