STEPHANOS
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).
Stephanos apartment is the half of the old staff quarters closer to the
main house, and it has private use of a secluded garden area behind the
flat, with seaviews over the roof 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.
This kitchen/living room, whose windows also look out onto the bay, has
a double sofabed for a third and even fourth guest, if required.
Stephanos’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, Spiros next door,
Stephanos 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. From the road, the
entrance to Stephanos is reached via the main gate of the Manor House
