Casa Lucia, Sgombou
 

Casa Lucia is a relaxed and friendly place in the middle of Corfu island, half-way between the main town and Paleokastritsa. A group of old olive press buildings, some dating from Venetian times, were lovingly restored and converted in the 1970’s by Dennis Androutsopoulos, and are still run today as self-catering apartments by his wife Val. The thick stone walls, clay tile roofs, high cross-beamed ceilings and vaulting stone arches have been retained and highlighted. The surrounding meadows have been transformed into beautiful gardens which gradually blend in with the original olives, cypress, quince and Judas trees. Bougainvillea, roses, geranium, citrus, peach, fig and apricot flourish around green lawns; bignonia, jasmine and vines provide fragrant shade and screen the swimming pool.

Casa Lucia is unusual in that it draws people from all walks of life, from all countries and all ages: many friendships have been forged here, people come back year after year, children have grown up and return with their children. It is above all a peaceful place that has few rules and allows people to relax and leave their frantic world behind - the grass is to play on, the swimming pool is for swimming by night and day, the cats and dogs come to visit. Come and relax and do your own thing; or try the T’ai Chi, yoga, alternative therapies and massages that are available.

The village of Sgombou lies in a peaceful valley surrounded by hills, far from other tourist sites, but right in the centre of the island; a short walk brings you to the local shop and bus-stop; from here it is 12 kilometers either to Corfu town on the east coast, or to Paleokastritsa on the west coast.
