” Saints” is our affectionate term for this cluster of six, pastel-coloured cottages overlooking Nissaki beach in north east Corfu. Taking their name from the local Church of the Saints, each little cottage has been individually designed to create fresh, elegant spaces that open onto a private terrace and the most sublime sea views.

This kind of outlook sometimes means a trade-off in terms of the convenience of the location, but not here, for the Saints are within walking distance of tavernas, a small shop, a bakery, the beach and beautiful Nissaki village itself. Back at base, service at the Saints includes the assistance of our knowledgeable local concierge.

With its three white pebble bays and crystalline water, Nissaki is one of the most sought-after holiday spots on this exceptionally lovely coastline. Sometimes referred to as old-school Corfu, here you’ll find a relaxed pace and an appreciation of life’s simple pleasures, whether that’s a romantic, waterfront meal at sunset or a gentle potter along the coast in your own little motor boat.

Each cottage at the Saints sleeps either two or four, and all have access to the free-form swimming pool and terrace.
