Handpicked Greece
Tasting the best local produce lies at the heart of a CV Villas stay. With a home- from-home as your base – plus in-house dining options – immersing yourself in the food culture of the Greek islands becomes effortless
It begins with the scent of oregano, sun-ripened tomatoes stacked high, bundles of fresh herbs wrapped in paper and a local supplier offering samples of homemade cheese. In Greece, exploration can so easily be led by taste. With CV Villas, good food takes centre stage, and all within the comfort of your own private home.
These are holidays designed not just for relaxing, but for tasting. Browse morning markets to gather local produce, learn to create regional dishes in family-run cooking classes and while away long afternoons at waterfront tavernas. And, whether in Corfu or Paxos, guests are never limited to what’s on the menu. Many villas offer bespoke culinary experiences – from tailored wine tastings to home-cooked feasts by private chefs, enjoyed under vine-covered pergolas with friends or family.
For travellers for whom a lighter footprint is a priority, CV Villas’
Positive Impact Collection showcases handpicked homes that are quietly doing good. From a commitment to sourcing food locally to celebrating regional recipes and supporting host
communities, these properties combine style and sustainability.
Beachfront Thalia villa in Sissi, Crete, or Edinas House, near
Kassiopi in Corfu, with its panoramic views, are just two of the
CV Villas options making a difference.
In Paxos, innovation reaches the plate too. Its ‘alien on the menu’ initiative sets out to transform invasive, non-native marine species into a delicacy, with local markets, restaurants and shops preparing these fish as part of a sustainable culinary project.
With CV Villas, taste guides the journey. Every meal, every ingredient and every sunset feels part of an authentic Greek story – and it‘s one you can enjoy from the tranquillity and privacy of your villa.
