“Waking up at Villa Gaia Rock is a little like waking up between the pages of an interior design magazine.” - Chris Carter, The Money Week
“As we zip across the water at high speed, James Bond-style, he tells us its standard service for all customers - it’s certainly the only way I want to travel to dinner from now on.” - Charlotte Adsett, The Glossary
The Skinos Estate is a beautiful property and the latest ornament to the Corfu grand villa scene. Every feature of it speaks of the Anglo-Greek owners uncompromising attention to detail and fine taste with a mix of antique furniture, modern art, and beautiful details through out.
The two villas are approached along a private road leading exclusively to the Estate and the sea. From its position on the hillside, the houses command spectacular views sweeping around from the south to the west, over the water to the coast of Albania and the nearby headlands set in a sea of jade green and turquoise.
An easy walk through a gently sloping garden with olives trees leads to a row of little pebble beaches, with a ladder for entering the water and a small mooring buoy gives guests direct swimming and boat possibilities - the key to the real Corfu lifestyle! The path continues to Nissaki bay, a few minutes away, which has a restaurant, café/bar and a pebbly beach.

“The two weeks we spent at the Gaia Sea were as close to perfection as mortal life allows.
The house was elegant – so many exquisite design decisions heightening the beauty of the setting; the grounds were dream like in their loveliness, and the whole staff, and above all the marvellous house manager and the remarkably gifted chef, were superb.
Corfu revealed itself here as Homer’s Scheria, the place of extraordinary loveliness.” - Stephen & Ramie
“From a rocky hillside Katerina has conceived and created an environmental paradise for us to enjoy.
Every detail considered and perfected, each view and aspect perfected.
What a dream you have built here. How often do dreams come true? Hints of Africa with the outside showers, the stonework, the small details that speak of a perfectionist’s eye and the staff to put a ribbon around a wonderful week.” - Pedro
“As an architectural and interior designer it was especially interesting for me to see the exceptionally high standard of finishing. I had been told that building in Corfu is far from easy, so the excellence of the stonework was a real surprise.
I could go on and on, but also wish to compliment our house manager, who did a brilliant job of looking after us - totally onto everything we could possibly need. The chef’s food was superb. You have assembled the perfect team.” - Peter
