Positioned on the wooded hillsides above Pelekas, Vita Nova is a contemporary Corfu residence shaped by its landscape, sea views, and connection to the island’s architectural tradition. Surrounded by olive trees, natural stone terraces, and mature Mediterranean planting, the villa sits quietly within 7,000 sqm of land overlooking the western coastline, where the sea shifts from deep blue to silver through the course of the day.
The approach to the property follows a sequence of stone pathways and planted terraces that gradually reveal the house within the landscape. Rather than dominating its setting, the architecture feels embedded into the hillside, using natural materials, soft earth-toned render, handmade clay roof tiles, and timber pergolas that echo the textures and colours of Corfu itself. The positioning of the residence allows both privacy and openness, with uninterrupted views extending toward the Ionian coastline from nearly every principal space.
The interiors are defined by restraint and warmth. Exposed timber ceilings, pale stone flooring, natural oak joinery, and softly textured finishes create a calm and cohesive atmosphere throughout the house. Large sliding openings allow the living spaces to extend naturally outdoors, while covered terraces moderate the summer light and create shaded areas throughout the day. The transition between interior and exterior feels continuous, shaped more by airflow, light, and material than by strict boundaries.
The main living and dining spaces are arranged around the sea view, with a quiet simplicity that allows the landscape to remain central. A pared-back kitchen in natural wood and stone sits discreetly within the open-plan space, while long timber dining tables and shaded outdoor seating areas create a rhythm of gathering points throughout the property. In the late afternoon, filtered sunlight moves through the pergolas and olive trees, casting soft shadows across the terraces and pool deck.
Vita Nova comprises four bedrooms and five bathrooms, each designed with the same understated palette and connection to the outdoors. Bedrooms open onto private terraces or garden courtyards, while bathrooms combine stone surfaces, timber detailing, and carefully positioned openings that introduce natural light without compromising privacy. One of the most striking architectural moments appears in the spa and wellness areas, where geometric screened openings soften the sunlight entering the sauna and bathing spaces.
Outdoor living unfolds across multiple levels of terraces, gardens, and seating areas integrated directly into the hillside. A long infinity pool stretches toward the sea, framed by olive trees, native planting, and pale stone paving that remains cool underfoot. Pergola-covered dining areas and open terraces create distinct atmospheres throughout the property — from shaded lunches beneath timber slats to quiet evenings overlooking the coastline as the light fades across the Ionian Sea.
The villa also includes a private gym, sauna, and cinema room, all designed with the same architectural consistency as the principal living spaces. Even the wellness and leisure areas maintain a strong relationship with light, landscape, and material, avoiding excess in favour of calm functionality.
Located just outside Pelekas village, Vita Nova balances seclusion with access to some of Corfu’s most established coastal areas. The beaches of the west coast, local tavernas, and Corfu Town remain within easy reach, while the elevated position of the property preserves a strong sense of stillness throughout the year.
Vita Nova is a residence that feels deeply connected to Corfu — not through ornament or nostalgia, but through material, landscape, and the slower rhythm of outdoor island living.
