Villa Melpomeni | Kassiopi

Villa Melpomeni – Prestige Villas’ Flagship Retreat on Corfu’s North East Coast

Perched above the sparkling waters of Corfu’s fabled North East coastline, Villa Melpomeni is one of Prestige Villas’ most distinguished flagship properties. This elegant seven-bedroom residence sleeps 15 guests comfortably, with the flexibility to accommodate up to 20, making it the ideal haven for extended families or groups of friends seeking space, luxury, and privacy.

For larger gatherings, the adjacent Villa Calypso can be reserved to extend accommodation by an additional four bedrooms.

Built on a peaceful hillside just above the fishing village of Kassiopi, Villa Melpomeni enjoys the perfect balance of rural seclusion and village convenience. A short stroll leads to Soukia Bay, with its crystal-clear waters, while the harbour, beaches, restaurants, and shops & boutiques of Kassiopi are only a few minutes’ walk away.

From its elevated position, the villa commands panoramic sea views stretching north and south along the coastline, framed by the Avlaki headland, Kaparelli Island, and the ancient 13th-century fortress that crowns Kassiopi.

Lovingly built by its current owners, Villa Melpomeni was designed to blend effortlessly into its Corfiot landscape. Constructed from locally quarried stone, it sits gracefully among olive groves, cypress trees, and wildflowers, merging modern luxury with traditional Mediterranean character.

Because the property was built on a steep hillside, the main living spaces occupy the upper level, allowing guests to savour the magnificent views. Below, the bedrooms open onto private terraces leading to the pool and gardens.

The villa’s interiors are designed for comfort, family living, and entertaining.
• A vast open-plan sitting room flows into an enormous kitchen and dining area, creating a relaxed yet refined living space.
• A dedicated TV lounge offers the perfect spot for quiet evenings or family film nights.
• A private office with Wi-Fi and computer facilities ensures convenience for those who need to work remotely.

Aspiring chefs will adore the state-of-the-art kitchen, complete with an electric AGA Rangemaster, generous preparation areas, and a walk-in larder.

The spacious bedrooms, all with extra-wide beds and luxurious en-suite bathrooms, each open onto private terraces, providing peace and privacy for every guest.

Life at Melpomeni revolves around its spectacular 17-metre swimming pool, surrounded by sun terraces and landscaped gardens. Two charming guest cottages sit at either end of the pool, each with its own en-suite shower room, perfect for friends or older teens seeking independence.

Additional amenities include:
• A fully equipped gym
• Table tennis area for light-hearted competition
• Outdoor dining and lounging terraces ideal for long, lazy lunches or candlelit evenings

From the garden, a private path leads directly to Soukia Bay (just two minutes’ walk), or into Kassiopi village (eight minutes’ walk).

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape, a family holiday, or a celebration with friends, Villa Melpomeni is a home for all seasons and generations.
• Adults will relish tranquil mornings with fresh bread and coffee in the village.
• Teenagers will love Kassiopi’s friendly nightlife and independence, safely within walking distance.
• Explorers can hire a boat to discover hidden coves and waterside tavernas along Corfu’s northeast coast.

In spring, the hills are blanketed in wildflowers; in summer, the sea stays invitingly calm and clear; in autumn, long golden evenings bring a slower, gentler pace.

As dusk falls, Melpomeni becomes truly magical. Sit on the candlelit terrace, watch the twinkling lights of Kassiopi, and gaze across to the mysterious Albanian mountains beyond. The floodlit Roman castle glows softly in the distance as the gentle hoot of a Scops owl breaks the stillness — moments that make this villa unforgettable.

As its Southern Italian owner once remarked, “One could almost imagine being on the Amalfi Coast.”
