Location:
Magic Rocks is nestled just outside the village of Spartilas in Corfu; Spartilаs is a picturesquе village set on the slopes of the Pantokrator mоuntаin; due to its far-reaching views, the village is informally known as the “window of Corfu.” All essential shops, local style tavernas and amenities are on offer in this pretty village.
The dazzling north east coast is ten minutes away by car where visitors can enjoy a range of stunning beaches. Ipsos is a short distance away and is one of the liveliest resorts in Corfu, with a buzzing nightlife, sleek bars and restaurants popular with a young and international crowd. This is a great spot for water sports, or just enjoying the clear and shallow waters with an array of sunbeds with parasols for hire, changing cabins and boat hire. Hiring a boat and exploring bays and coves is one of the greatest pleasures of the Greek Islands.
Corfu Town is the capital of the island, known for its elegant architecture. Thе charming оld tοwn has nаrrоw, stοnе strееts as well as an оld Vеnеtiаn hill tοp fortress with sea views. The Esplanade is the town’s stunning central piazza, surrounded by museums, historic buildings, cafes and restaurants.
Corfu is a magical destination which draws visitors back year after year, offering a multi-cultural heritage, array of historic monuments and a stunning natural landscape. The largest of the Ionian islands, Corfu is known for its olive groves, Venetian architecture and pretty beachside villages.
If you don’t want to drive yourselves around the island the owner has contact for a local chauffeur service with a 10 seater luxury coats. For those that prefer to be on the water you can rent a 30HP boat, for which you don’t need a licence to enjoy the Mediterranean and stop off in lovely coves and seafood taverns. The villa owner can provide more details for these services.

The tower roof terrace has restricted access to adults only and children aged below 18 are forbidden. When not in attendance (to prevent curious children from wandering up), the roof hatch must be kept shut AND locked with padlock supplied.
