A Glimpse into its Story: The Spirit of Restoration

While The Editor’s Villa itself embodies contemporary luxury, its spirit is deeply rooted in Corfu’s timeless charm.

The villa, while relatively new in its current opulent form, carries an invisible thread of Corfiot heritage, infused with the island’s slow rhythm and the warmth of its stone and earth.

The promoters of Spiritual Living Corfu envisioned spaces that offered more than just a bed; they sought to provide environments that inspire mindfulness, relaxation, and a deeper connection to the island’s unique energy. The Editor’s Villa is a shining example of this philosophy, designed not just for aesthetics but for an elevated state of being.

Finding Your Way to Viros

One of the many charms of The Editor’s Villa is its fantastic location in Viros, a charming area that offers the perfect balance of serenity and accessibility. Viros is delightfully close to Corfu Town, meaning you’re never far from the vibrant pulse of the island’s capital, yet you can retreat to your peaceful haven whenever you wish.

Getting here is quite straightforward. If you’re arriving by air at Corfu International Airport (CFU), Viros is just a short drive away – typically around 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. Taxis are readily available outside the airport terminal, and it’s a quick and easy journey. Alternatively, many visitors choose to rent a car, which we highly recommend for exploring the wider island at your own pace. There’s ample and secure parking available directly at The Editor’s Villa, so you won’t have to worry about finding a spot.

While public transport does operate on the island, a car offers the most flexibility for guests staying at a villa like this, especially for venturing out to secluded beaches or mountain villages. However, if you prefer not to drive, taxis are plentiful and can be arranged for trips into town or to nearby attractions. Some guests even enjoy the pleasant walk or bike ride through the olive groves to explore the immediate surroundings of Viros, soaking in the rural beauty of Corfu.

The proximity to main roads makes it easy to navigate to other parts of the island, whether you’re heading north to Kassiopi, west to Paleokastritsa, or south to Kavos. You’re centrally located enough to make day trips in any direction without feeling like you’re spending half your holiday in transit.
