Stone Built in a Private Estate with Great Views and Privacy

This traditional stone-built property benefits from awe-inspiring vistas and wonderful secluded grounds; an ideal hideaway for those seeking a slower, more peaceful pace.

Well appointed above the hamlet of Porta and surrounded by greenery, the charm of the villa inside is the attention to detail throughout, with antiques and beamed ceilings adding unique character to the ambience. There is a large veranda at the front of the house. This spot is perfect for lunches in the shade, with a simple table and chairs and several pots of flowers and herbs.
A few steps down, the infinity pool is a magnificent turquoise colour.
With plenty of room to spread out, little terraces and patios operate on different levels within the grounds. Clearly delineated with stones is the original ‘thresher’s floor’ where horses or donkeys walking in a continuous circle would separate the grain from the chaff by crushing it on the hard surface.
Ideal for breakfast, the main balcony that runs along the living area looks out to a glorious panorama of the Albanian mountains and the verdant hillsides that drop down to the Ionian Sea.
Double French windows in the living area give light and an air of spaciousness to the interior. Comfy sofas cluster around the fireplace, and an elegant dining area is enhanced with dainty lace curtains filtering in the sunshine.
A twin bedroom, decorated with pretty floral curtains and bedcovers, also has a fireplace.
Another twin and a double bedroom (master bedroom) share the balcony that runs along the main area of the house, in prime position to enjoy the stunning sunrise.
During your stay at this villa, you're just a quick walk from Ionian Sea. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a private pool and a kitchen in the villa.
  • Air-conditioned villa with private pool, kitchen and washing machine
  • Amenities include a terrace
  • Steps from Ionian Sea and 12 minutes by car from Agni Bay

Beautiful place to relax.
The house is charming and the views are breathtaking. We really wanted a break from being in the city and the property was perfect for that. The house is well equipped to make your own food, and there are plenty of dining options in Kassiopi and other nearby towns. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Mountain Retreat
Wonderful Villa in the mountains with glorious views. Aristides was very attentive and a great host Only downside is getting there. Be sure to take the long route that Aristide gives and do not use Satnav as it will take you left and a supermarket with a small sign saying P Sines which is entirely wrong and leads to an impassable ascent for anything but a land rover! Do not take the first option either as this is very steep. Take the longest option. It will tell you to take a left towards the sign for Porta. Just below the sign is a small sign indicating Thresher House. The turn is on a bend just before a big yard selling logs (on the right) about 2km from kassiopi. Once you have gone left follow the road for 5km up the mountain to Thresher House. Do not deviate and follow any other signs. Once you are there it is bliss!

A nature lover's paradise
Thresher's house is a wonderful getaway from the stresses of the world, especially so in the midst of a global pandemic! Myself, my wife and four friends had a excellent week enjoying the house and it's environs immensely. The house is very well equipped with three spacious bedrooms (two en-suite), very large kitchen./ lounge with high ceilings and numerous outdoor eating spots (at least 5!). The satellite internet works well - several of our group had to work remotely but there was no great issue - just a slight lag due to the satellite connection. The views from the house are wide and magnificent, with clear view over to Albania. The garden is lush and there are walnut trees, pomegranates, as well as grapes which you are free to enjoy. There are many good walking routes around the house with the long distance 220km Corfu Trail passes through. You can walk to Mount Pantokrator (highest peak in Corfu at 910m) from here, as well as the charming Old Perithia (around 2 hours away). The weather was not great the week we were there and a storm affected the power and water to the house for one day but Aristidis worked hard to restore it and kept us well informed throughout. The house is 500m up and the roads are pretty windy and narrow, this might not be for everyone but I found them fun! There's nothing around and you will need a car but Kassiopi is only 15 mins away with many shops and restaurants. There are plenty of nice beaches nearby too. All in all thoroughly recommended and we'd love to return sometime for another relaxing holiday.

Amazing Villa in the Hills of Corfu
Thresher’s House was even better than the beautiful pictures on line that originally drew us to rent it. A spacious house built out of local stone with an infinity pool and views of the mountains rolling down to Ionian Sea and beyond to the mysterious Albania. We spent most of our time in the pool and the terraces as the weather was warm and dry and the Grecian Blue sky irresistible. We to many day trips and especially enjoyed the Old Town of Corfu, taking a private boat tour of the cliffs and grottoes on the west side of the island, but most of all we enjoyed being at the house swimming and reading and talking. Other then one game in the US Open finals we never turned on the TV. The house is fully equipped for making meals and any thing you might need and the host, Aristidis, was available by text and phone to help with any questions about the house and the Island. We loved Thresher’s House and hope to return soon.

Bit of a drive but well worth it!
Secluded in the hillside with amazing views of the sun & sea. Lovely pool, lots of privacy & a great traditional feel to the villa. The drive up from the main road around the island is around 15-20mins but it's worth it. The host offered excellent communication & the villa made for a perfect peaceful holiday.

Lovely stay at Threshers house
Just back from a family holiday at the Threshers House. The house is lovely, and the pool and views were stunning! The house is a long way up the mountain road so you will def need a car and be comfortable driving on narrow hairpin roads (it gets easier after the fist time!) Artisidis is a charming host and will ensure you have everything you need. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Amazing holiday at Thresher's House
Thresher's house was everything we had hoped for. The photos on the website are wonderful but the reality is even better. Our 18 year old daughter said "the view is insane". I understand that to be the highest of compliments! The living space is great, with everything you need. Lots of thought by the owner Aristidis. From things like a smoothie blender, lots of utensils and cooking pots, DVD and CD player as well as a pool towel for every guest. It is however the outside areas that make Thresher's really magical. Different areas to have quiet reading time, coffee on the terrace in the morning enjoying the view, fun in the pool and even table tennis. Lots of sunny and shady areas to suit everyone. The villa also comes with 3 lovely cats, we fed them daily and they really show their appreciation. Affectionate but not at all intrusive and they patiently wait outside. The surrounding countryside is magnificent. We enjoyed a number of walks from Thresher's and even walked down to the coast through olive groves which was beautiful. Aristidis, his father and Matoula take great care in looking after Thresher's, making sure that all their guests have a special time. Aristidis even posted back to the UK my daughter's ukele that she had left behind. Thoughtful, kind and considerate. We really couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much for a fabulous holiday.

Two very relaxing weeks
The whole experience was excellent. Helpful, friendly communication from the moment we booked. The property had everything we needed. The pool is great. Fantastic views over to Albania. Sunrise is stunning. Lots of raptors if birdwatching is your thing. Also swallows and martins coming down to the pool. The most relaxing holiday. You will need a hire car. Highly recommended. Corfu is a lovely island and everyone is friendly.

Tolles Haus mit grandioser Aussicht
Wir hatten eine tolle Herbstwoche im sehr geräumigen und liebevoll eingerichteten Haus mit einer unglaublichen Aussicht auf Albanien. Der Vermieter war super nett und hat uns sogar angeboten die beiden offenen Kamine mit seinem Holz zu befeuern. Alternativ konnten wir bei den etwas kühleren Nächten die Klimaanlagen zum Heizen verwenden. Es empfiehlt sich auf jeden Fall in Korfu-Stadt in einem größeren Supermarkt einzukaufen, da die Transfers zu den kleinen Supermärkten in der Nähe auf Grund der Infrastruktur auch viel Zeit in Anspruch nehmen und die Geschäfte merklich teurer sind und nur ein sehr kleines Sortiment vorhalten. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!! Lieben Dank nocjmal an Aristidis für die tolle Woche!

Breakfast above the clouds
This place is amazing! We spent a week here in October and were spoilt with sunshine. In the mornings we watched beautiful sunrises, later we mostly went about exploring the beautiful area on foot - you can actually walk out the back door and hike all the way up to Mount Pantokrator - or by car, which, yes, is a little bit tricky since Thresher's House is situated high up. The house itself is a gem. It was always easy to contact Aristidis and though we didn't get to meet personally we felt like real guests rather than paying ones. Thank you, Aristidis, for a wonderful week! PPantokeator - or by car.

Entspannung pur
Nach einer langen Anreise haben wir hungrig und durstig unser Haus in der Dunkelheit gefunden. Aristides hatte vorgesorgt und uns Getränke , Brot Aufschnitt und Eier zur Begrüßung in den Kühlschrank gelegt und uns schon am ersten Abend glücklich gemacht. Das Haus liegt einsam und verlassen und man kann dem Touristengewimmel wunderbar entfliehen. Die Ruhe, der Ausblick nach Albanien und der Außenpool waren heilend für unsere Großstadtseelen und wir haben uns 3 Wochen lang wunderbar erholt. Zum nächsten "Supermarkt" oder zu einem Restaurant ist es immer viel Fahrerei und somit haben wir uns häufig selber versorgt, haben gegrillt oder gekocht oder einfach nur einen Bauernsalat ,Oliven und Zaziki gegessen. Aristides ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber, der uns immer geholfen hat, wenn wir Fragen oder Wünsche hatten. Er hat uns Strände gezeigt, die nicht so überlaufen waren und Restaurants in denen es gutes Essen gab. Eingekauft haben wir immer in Nikos Supermarkt in Kassiopi. Dort gab es alles, was man zum Leben braucht und gratis dazu ein freundliches Lächeln von Ihm, seiner Frau oder seiner Tochter. Alles in Allem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und sollten wir irgendwann einmal wieder nach Korfu kommen, dann werden wir wieder dieses Haus mieten.

Calme absolu et vues magnifiques
Très jolie maison sans aucun bruit environnant. 3 grandes chambres avec climatisation. Très grand séjour. Terrasse avec une vue magnifique sur des oliviers, la mer et la côte albanaise. Piscine en plein soleil très agréable. Accueil chaleureux et très sympathique du propriétaire Aristidis ( la maison était celle de son grand-père ) qui peut vous conseiller sur les bonnes tables aux alentours. A 20 minutes, on trouve la petite ville de Kassiopi avec restaurants sur un joli front de mer. A 20 minutes également, la plage d'Avlaki, qui est propre et peu fréquentée ( même en plein mois d'aout ) avec une eau cristalline et pas mal de place pour les voitures.
