SPIROS
Accommodation: Sleeps 2-4
The Manor House, an
imposing structure occupying a commanding position overlooking the bay
of Loggos, was built in the 19th century as the home of one
of the chief families on the island, owners among other things of the
old soap factory whose tall chimney dominates the northern end of Loggos
harbour. The staff who worked at the Manor House, which has
considerable land attached to it, were housed in a separate building
alongside the main house. The upper half of this building was some
years ago converted into two self-contained apartments (the lower floor
no longer being in use).
Spiros apartment is the half of the old staff quarters further from the
main house, and it has the private use of a superb stone-flagged terrace
some 15 yards in length, with wonderful views across the sea to Corfu
and the mainland. The inside, recently refurbished, comprises a twin
bedroom with windows opening out onto Loggos bay, a kitchen/living room
with air-conditioning, electric hob and small oven, and a new showerroom.
The kitchen/living room, whose windows also look out onto the bay, has a
double sofabed for a third and even fourth guest, if required.
Spiros’s position in relation to nearby amenities could not be more
convenient. The village tavernas and shops are a two-minute walk in one
direction and the first beach, known as Levrechio, is just three minutes
on foot in the other direction. Like its twin, Stephanos, Spiros
apartment overlooks the road which runs down into Loggos but, while it
is the local bus route – the bus comes through about three times a day
in each direction – the road’s traffic levels rarely reach those of an
unclassified country lane in England. Spiros has its own entrance gate
on the road, below the terrace.
