Californian modernism meets the blue Ionian Sea.
Enveloped by a leafy cocoon of vibrant Corfiot greenery, Hanassa is wonderfully secluded and yet just an easy walk from Gialiskari beach and the tavernas, bays and buzz of Agni and Kalami. Its wonderfully simple layout, its contemporary style, and its alluring infinity pool all combine to create an extremely liveable and harmonious atmosphere in which to unwind, relax and reenergise.
Inside: accommodation at Hanassa is all on one floor.
In terms of design, the property has been inspired by Californian modernism's love of simplicity and connection to the surrounding landscape: glass walls slide open to unify the interiors and the exteriors; a vibrant green canopy frames and secludes the property; a cantilevered extension of the roof provides shade; and a well-chosen range of materials echoes Mother Nature's palette.
Hanassa is essentially divided into two parts. The first is an open-concept communal space with three distinct zones. To one side is a large grey L-shaped sofa and a wall of bespoke wooden shelving and cupboards flanking a central fireplace. To the other is a wooden dining table surrounded by designer chairs in charcoal grey. Extending behind both of these areas is the sleek, slate grey contemporary kitchen, which features a large, convivial island. Lighting is a subtle mix of multi-directional black spots and downlights set into the ceiling.
The second part of Hanassa is the bedroom wing, which is accessed via a door near the kitchen. Connected by a corridor, there are four sea-view bedrooms:
• three doubles, each with its own en-suite shower room and wall of sliding glass doors opening out onto the terrace running along the front of the property
• the principal bedroom, also a double, with an en-suite bathroom with tub and separate shower. This, too, features a wall of sliding glass doors opening out onto the terrace
Outside: al fresco life at Hanassa revolves around a sea-facing terrace that runs along the entire façade of the property. Accessed from the communal living area and all four bedrooms, and shaded by a cantilevered extension of the roof, this space is equipped and furnished for all eventualities, from lounging and sunbathing, to sipping on an aperitif, dining and cooking (thanks to the presence of a barbecue area).
Swimmers will delight in the fabulous infinity pool, which appears to be suspended in a verdant canopy.
Glass balustrades run along the edge of the terrace, ensuring that the sweeping green and blue views, which take in Gialiskari beach, Kalami Bay, the northeastern coast of Corfu, and mountainous Albania across the waters of the Ionian, are undisturbed.
Hanassa features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.
