Villa Description
Emerald Bay – Modern Comforts & Great Sea Views in Barbati by Prestige Villas of Corfu
Exclusive to and fully managed by Prestige Villas, Emerald Bay has recently been refreshed with modern updates, including brand-new contemporary bathrooms and an additional en-suite for the third bedroom.
This stylish villa offers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and location, ideal for guests who prefer to be within walking distance of all amenities, a car is recommended to explore the island, but here, it’s by no means essential if you’re fairly fit.
Tucked away in a peaceful residential area, Emerald Bay is just a short stroll from Barbati’s main high street and the popular Barbati Beach, known for its crystal-clear waters, beachfront restaurants, and laid-back chill-out bars. For those feeling energetic, a shortcut through the olive groves below the villa brings you to the high street in just two minutes, a torch is recommended for late-night walks home!
The main entrance opens into a spacious open-plan living area, combining a fully fitted kitchen, dining space, and comfortable sitting room with large glass doors leading out to a large dining veranda. From here, guests can enjoy views over Barbati Bay and the sparkling Ionian Sea.
This level also includes a guest WC and access to the roof-top terrace, where the views are even more spectacular, a perfect spot for evening barbecues under the stars.
On the garden level, you’ll find all three bedrooms:
• A master bedroom and a double bedroom, both with en-suite shower rooms and direct access to the pool terrace.
• A twin bedroom, serviced by a modern family bathroom.
• A utility room with washing machine for added convenience.
Outside, the private pool area is surrounded by sunny terraces and offers plenty of space to relax, swim, and enjoy the views.
Emerald Bay combines modern comfort, an unbeatable location, and breathtaking sea views, making it the perfect choice for couples, friends, or families looking to experience the best of Barbati and Corfu’s North East coast.

Barbati Beach
Is this area suitable for me?
Beach – Pebble
Restaurants & Bars – Yes plenty along the beach and the high street
Boat Hire – Yes with Spiros Boat Hire
Supermarkets – A handful of mini-markets
‘Highlights’ – Trendy beachfront chill-out bars & restaurants with beach service
The brilliant white sweeping pebble beach of Barbati is the gateway to the prestigious North East Coast of Corfu, affectionately known as Kensington-upon-Sea. This resort has a real holiday vibe about it with a it’s upmarket beach side restaurants and trendy beach bars. Bahia Mare & Piedra del Mar to name just two, play relaxing chill-out tunes and offer a superb beachfront atmosphere where you can pre-reserve your sunbed both during the day and during the balmy evenings. Both restaurants have a superb menu and during high season a table reservation is recommended. For the water sports enthusiasts Barbati also has a superb water-sports centre and we would high recommend renting one of the small boats from either of the boat hire companies along the beach. From Barbati you can meander your way up the picturesque coastline, anchoring up in one of the many deserted coves where the water is crystal turquoise and perfect for snorkelling.

JonathanDate of stay: July 2023 Fabulous villa - We enjoyed our 7 days in Barbati. The villa was everything we expected and more . Air conditioning was more than welcome in the great heat and everything worked as it should . Walking to and from the villa has steep hills as expected but maybe quite a hike for small kids . It was fine for our family . Overall fantastic and will recommend to family and friends.
aKathy Graham, CardiffDate of stay: June/July 2023 Suits us down to the ground and perfect for our needs.
anano_aspanidze, GeorgiaDate of stay: September/October 2022 Booking this villa was the best decision. The view is breathtaking, the location is great especially if you rent a car, all the essencials were there, the pool was often cleaned, the communication was easy and we had all the comfort one can get. Thnk you <3
Stephanie G, Port Talbot UKDate of stay: September 2022 The villa is very spacious with lots of different areas to relax and chill out. The pool is especially welcoming in the heat. Aircon and mosquito nets on all the windows provide a welcome relief from the outdoors. The kitchen is well equipped and a pleasure to use. The beds comfortable and plenty of space for clothes. Bathrooms exellent and provision of towels very adequate. As stated previously the villa could do with a deep clean at the end of season and was a little tired in places but on the whole did not bother us as a family. The view is outstanding and it is really quiet and relaxing. The hill to the villa is very steep and would not suit those less mobile but Barbati is perched on the side of a huge mountain so its nothing we did not expect. I would rate this villa 5 star if your looking for peace and tranquility as we were. Winner for us ✌️😊 ---- Our Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to post your review. We can’t apologise enough if you thought the cleaning wasn’t up to scratch. We would usually check the villas in advance of guests arrivals and our Housekeeper Nicole at Emerald Bay is usually very thorough and conscientious. The owners of the villa have allowed us the opportunity to renovate the property over the Winter and all being well there should be 2 new modern bathrooms and a new look for Summer 2023. Glad to see that you did enjoy your stay overall, you were a pleasure to host and we hope to see you again in the future.
Kathryn G, UKDate of stay: June 2022 Another 5* holiday booked through Prestige Villas; Could only give gardens 3* as mostly terrace. Positioned on the hillside and has fantastic views. Worth the climb, albeit very steep, at the end of the evening, great calorie burner! Barbati is reassuringly small and has enough restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets and bars to provide a good choice. Rent a boat at Spiros and visit the beautiful bays and restaurants along the North East coast. Loved this little villa, ticked every box for us and we are already planning our return. Fantastic service from Annabelle, Julia and Yannis at Ionian Travel Car Hire.
Frank K, GermanyDate of stay: October 2021 Schöne Zeit😊
Jayne W, Callington UKDate of stay: September/October 2021 Very helpful and professional team who always responded promptly to any questions we had after booking .Originally due to holiday at the height of the COVID pandemic but our booking was easily changed to 2021 at no extra cost .The villa itself is good value for money with spectacular views. I agree with other reviews that if you have mobility issues the approach to the villa is extremely steep( we knew this when we booked so not a problem to us ).The location is perfect being just minutes away from the beach, restaurants & bars though far enough away for a good nights sleep.The villa itself is perfectly adequate to self cater as we did on several occassions & benefits from a slimline dishwasher so no dishes.The beds were comfortable & the aircon was appreciated during the warmer nights. We had a few minor niggles during our stay all of which were resolved promptly by Annabelle & the team.I would highly recommend booking with Prestige Villas and would not hesistate to do so again in the future. Many thanks to you all once again.
