The Old Kafeneion Apartment - located in Psaras, Messonghi in mid-southeast Corfu - is a ground floor apartment with serene views of the garden and sea. It has a balcony that faces the garden and sea, a shaded personal outdoor sitting area, a double bed in a separate bedroom, a full kitchen with all the basic amenities, a shower room with toilet, plus a private-use garden plot with private entrance to the sea.

The Old Kafeneion Apartment is part of a seafront property of rental apartments and studios, all of which are set within a vast garden that leads to a privately accessed pebbly beach with crystal clear waters. Guests thus have unparalleled private access to the crystalline sea for bathing and other water activities just a few steps from their rooms. The entire property was originally a point of sea transportation during the 1950's, used by locals to catch or disembark from boats that would take them to and from points around the island. A seafront kafeneion (coffee house) was also located at this site at that time.

The space

The unique Old Kafeneion Apartment is so named because it is the original space of the old kafeneion (coffee house) that was famed throughout the 1950s amongst locals, who would patronize it to play cards, eat, drink and socialize. The apartment retains the traditional thick stones walls of the original structure, which creates a cave-like atmosphere that is cool in the summer and warm in the colder months.

Thus, special attention has been given to the apartment to honor the spirit of a kafeneion from that era. Guests can enjoy their stay amidst rare vintage prints of Corfu, antiques from the family’s private collection and other artifacts that hark back to a different time and way of life. This exclusive space is also filled with handmade items created from locally sourced natural material, such as driftwood and unique rocks.

This ground-floor apartment has two personal outdoor spaces. The French doors of the bedroom open into a balcony that has a retractable sunshade; fragrant flowering plants bordering the balcony provide additional privacy and serenity. And just step outside the apartment door and you are in a sheltered personal outdoor sitting area where you can sip a drink under the shade like in the old days of the kafeneion. Both outdoor spaces have calming views of the luxuriant garden and changing sea.

The Old Kafeneion Apartment is air-conditioned, and has a spacious well-organised kitchen (with a bottle of olive oil from the family’s grove), and a bathroom with shower and toilet. The bedroom has a double bed.

There is free Wifi and parking space.
