Casa Conti 1840 is a fantastic villa with a private heated pool (on request) in the village of Gastouri Corfu, just a few minutes from the Achilleon Palace of the Empress of Austria Elizabeth, mostly known as "Sisi". The Villa is the recently renovated Mansion of the 'Conti Family' built in 1840. The current owner has spared no expense in making this a fully functional luxurious home with all the modern and high-standard facilities. Casa Conti 1840 is an ideal property for a family or group of friends looking to spend a relaxing holiday close to Corfu Town and not far from all that Corfu Island offers. Layout The moment you enter the enclosed grounds of the Mansion, you are welcomed by a specious terrace with a lovely gazebo. This was explicitly installed by the new landlords, who also enjoy al fresco dining. This is a beautiful setting for some of the most amazing sunsets you can experience.

The main house opens onto an open lounge with a comfortable sofa, an armchair, wide flat-screen TV and a decorative fireplace. A spacious dining table decorates the far end of the area, next to an impressive marble staircase leading up to the bedrooms.
