 Overview
Villa Frosso is located in the village of Vlahatika above Kalami, and looks out over stunning views of the Bay of Kalami, across the channel to Albania. The view of Kalami, nestled between beautiful headlands, is dominated by the White House, where Lawrence Durrell lived in the years before WWII and wrote his beautiful memoir of Corfu called 'Prospero's Cell'. If you are agile and a good walker, Kalami can be reached by a steep footpath in ten minutes, but we do recommend the hire of a car.
The villa is an attractive conversion of a village house, its rooms elegantly furnished and with two terraces where outdoor meals and relaxation is enhanced by the glorious views. Descending several steps from the villa you reach the main road and Dimitris Bar and Restaurant, noted for its excellent food, the ideal introduction to eating out in Corfu for your first evening.

The large front terrace has amazing views, across the tiled roofs of the neighbouring village houses and up to the imposing hills above, down to the beach and glittering bay of Kalami.
Gated steps give access to the lower terrace, a very pleasant spot for reading with a view to distract you. Especially pleasant for that pre-dinner drink in early evening.

What Is Nearby
Kouloura
The tiny fishing village of Kouloura is a working harbour, where many of the locals moor their boats.
The view of the harbour is probably one of the most famous in the area, having been painted by many visiting artists.
The main house is owned by the Italian Agnelli family (with Ferrari connection!) and is used as their holiday home. The nearby
Taverna specializes in locally caught fish. Kouloura is an excellent example of a small traditional Greek bay that has not been influenced by tourism.

Agni Bay
Agni Bay is home to Taverna Agni and Agni Travel.In Greek Agni means un-spoilt and
this describes Agni perfectly - just
three Tavernas (each with their own jetty for mooring up to) and a sprinkle of
local buildings. The bay is reached mainly by rented motor boats, although recently
there is now a narrow road down into the bay: Agni Corfu
Saint Stephanos
Agios (Saint) Stephanos is an extremely pretty fishing village, located
between Kalami and Kassiopi. This little fishing village has now become a very popular 'up market' resort with many stylish holiday villas. A thriving local Greek community welcomes its visitors with the warmth and hospitality for which Greece is famous. With
several excellent tavernas, 2 cocktail bars, 2 supermarkets, a gift shop and boat hire, it is the perfect base for a holiday: Saint Stephanos Corfu
