THE FACTS ABOUT HOUSE ON THE ROCKS

Greece

Fully refurbished in 2004, House on the Rocks is, as the name suggests, wedged into rocky cliffs above Corfu's Kaminaki beach, which is accessed by a precipitous footpath. With its staggering views as far as the Albanian coastline, this modern, stone house has a great sense of light and space. There are three terraces for sun-worshippers and an infinity-edged swimming pool suspended between sea and sky. The three big bedrooms all face the sea. The creamy lounge area upstairs has wooden floors, leather sofas, and endless views. Stairs lead down to a second living space equipped with bamboo and rattan furniture, a porthole window, and a telescope for stargazing. There are two attractive tavernas at Kaminaki beach.
