If you’re hoping for a rustic retreat into the heart of Corfiot tradition, history and culture, try Dr Kavvadia’s Organic Farm for size.
This family-run farm is conveniently located 15 minutes north of Corfu Town by car. This organic farm is the perfect location and easily accessible to popular beaches of Corfu’s northeastern coastline.
The Dr Kavvadia’s Organic Farm has a rich history, dating back to the 18th century, when a small olive press was built by the farm’s olive grove. It is now home to the famous Dr. Kavvadia Extra Virgin Olive Oil – which is still made by traditional methods. The family-run business practices natural, sustainable farming, based on the belief that the tastiest, healthiest olive oil is produced from the healthiest, happiest olive trees.
Accommodation is available in the Olive Storage House, which, as the most historic building on the farm, was once used to house farm goods and olive oil during the 19th century. This beautiful, rustic space has 2 bedrooms which sleeps up to 4 people, as well as and a large living room.
During your stay, you can also enjoy al fresco meals made from the farm’s fresh produce in its stunning garden which includes hammocks, chairs and a dining table. You won’t be alone, either — the farm’s cats are sure to keep you company throughout your time there.
