The Villa's History

Mr W. Fussel, a budding architect from the UK was enchanted by Corfu in the late 1970s while working in Nissaki on an early tourist complex. He sought out a choice piece of land with a wonderful view and built a traditional, holiday home for his family. Such abodes were soon in demand for rental.

The family took on a local couple, Lena and Spiros, to help with the running of the Villa. Their children, Polychronis and Sia were of course always with them and have witnessed the improvements and modernisation of the villa over the years. As traditional in Corfu, they have taken over from their parents; indeed the Villa is like their own. They longingly tend the grounds and inside areas, eager to offer the best to our guests.

The Team

(Right to left) Polychronis covers the maintenance, gardening and watering of the Villa. He is on hand to solve any small problems that crop up.

​

Tracy Laskari is a British local. She is on hand helping bridge the gap of communication between Michelle and the locals. She is usually the first point of contact with the guests and can offer advice on local services/ amenities thanks to her 30 year residency on the island.

​

Michelle Pape is the Manager of the Villa. She works from the US and spends a month or two each year in Corfu, fully embracing Greek culture. 

​

Sia is the housekeeper and much more! She makes sure the Villa is in top notch condition and will endeavour to help the guests with whatever they need during their stay.
