Diamantina – a little slice of local history – is conveniently situated just behind the sea front at Agios Stephanos harbour, and has the honour of being the very first house built in the village, dating back to the 1800s. The present owner inherited it from his great grandfather and then set about refurbishing the house as a characterful holiday home. During the excavation for the swimming pool, archaeologists found fragments of pottery dating back some 2,300 years, indicating continuous habitation of the area since ancient times.

The house is accessed via external stone steps in traditional Corfiot style, complete with a covered porch. It has a delightful walled courtyard, planted with roses, oleander and a mature weeping willow around the pool. The shops, harbour tavernas and beach of Agios Stephanos are literally on your doorstep, making this the perfect base if you’d rather walk than drive. Renting a small boat for your stay (highly recommended), you’ll be able to moor it just 100m from the house. So whether you’re a summertime sailor, a history scholar or just someone who appreciates a traditional and comfortable town house, Diamantina is a uniquely special place to stay.
