The Sokraki Villas were built in 2007 on a terraced property surrounded by natural stones, from which there is a spectacular view of the surrounding, intact nature. They consist of two houses in the typical Corfiot style. The premise for the construction was to integrate the houses in the best possible way into the surrounding nature. All building materials come from the island. Local stones and woods, vibrant colors and gardens with beautifully blooming flowers are the central elements of the accommodations. The pool, beautifully lit at night, is a defining element of the ensemble. The owners attach great importance to the interior design. The apartments are tasteful, well thought out and of high quality. Some of the furniture was made by hand using traditional craftsmanship.
In the in-house tavern, the owner of Sokraki Villas conjures up traditional local delicacies. The family of operators produces their own vegetables, fruits, wine, eggs and olive oil. Most of the remaining ingredients come from the cooperation with local farmers and suppliers. Vegetarians and vegans also get their money's worth in the tavern. If you don't feel like it or have time for self-sufficiency, you can get breakfast here for a small fee.
The operators receive regular training in the area of eco-tourism. Only ecological cleaning agents are used to clean the accommodations. Guests are encouraged to use energy and water responsibly.
