Villa Prokimea: A Dream Realized in the Heart of Corfu
Nestled in the picturesque village of Makrades, Villa Prokimea is more than a luxurious retreat—it’s the embodiment of a family’s vision. For Theodora, the villa’s owner, it represents a lifelong dream of her father’s, lovingly brought to life amidst Corfu’s olive groves and breathtaking landscapes.
"A Builder’s Dream Come True"
The story of Villa Prokimea begins with Theodora’s father, a builder who always dreamed of creating a villa. "It was his lifelong aspiration, and when the opportunity came, we knew it was the right moment to bring this vision to life," she shares. Situated on a plot once dominated by olive trees, the villa honors its natural surroundings by preserving several of these ancient trees, blending modernity with nature.
A Unique Jewel in Makrades
Makrades is a quaint, traditional village where the unexpected presence of a villa with a pool creates a striking contrast. From Villa Prokimea, guests are treated to a spectacular panoramic view—to the left, the charming village of Krini; to the right, majestic mountains and the Ionian Sea. Theodora highlights, "The sunsets here are magical; it’s an experience you need to live to fully appreciate."
A Modern Twist with a Touch of Tradition
In designing the villa, Theodora chose to respect the heritage of Makrades while incorporating contemporary elements. "The village has narrow streets and historic buildings, so we opted for a modern style with wooden accents to create harmony between the old and the new," she explains. The result is a residence that feels both innovative and rooted in its setting.
A Love for Craftsmanship
Among the villa’s many features, Theodora holds a special fondness for two handmade wooden tables in the living room. "They’re not just functional but also works of art that add warmth and character to the space," she says, reflecting the family’s dedication to thoughtful design and authenticity.
Discovering Hidden Treasures
The villa’s most unique feature is a small cave visible from the kitchen through a large glass pane. "We illuminated it to create a stunning view at night, making it a focal point that guests find mesmerizing," Theodora reveals. This creative detail sets Villa Prokimea apart, offering a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors.
An Invitation to Reconnect
Guests at Villa Prokimea can expect more than a luxurious stay; they’ll find themselves immersed in nature, with opportunities for hiking and exploring the surrounding landscapes. Theodora emphasizes, "It’s a place to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with what truly matters."
