Set amid centuries-old olive groves and fragrant citrus trees, OliveStone Village is a secluded Mediterranean retreat positioned between the dramatic slopes of Mount Pantokratoras and the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea. Located in the traditional village of Agios Markos, just a short drive from Corfu Town, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, authenticity and understated elegance on one of Greece’s most enchanting islands.
Designed as a place of calm, connection and inspiration, OliveStone Village is ideal for those seeking more than simply a place to stay. Whether hosting a wellness or yoga retreat, an intimate destination wedding, a creative gathering or a multi-generational family celebration, the village provides a deeply atmospheric setting where nature, tradition and comfort exist in balance.
Accommodation & Layout
OliveStone Village comprises three elegant villas and two charming bungalows, thoughtfully arranged to create a sense of togetherness while still allowing guests their own space and privacy. In total, the property can comfortably accommodate up to 19 guests, making it particularly well suited to small group stays, retreats and exclusive private events.
Each residence has been constructed using local materials and traditional handmade techniques, drawing clear inspiration from Corfu’s architectural heritage. Stone walls, natural textures and soft, earthy tones blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, while modern amenities ensure a relaxed and refined stay. Interiors are designed to feel welcoming and lived-in, encouraging guests to slow down and fully immerse themselves in the rhythms of rural Corfiot life.
Communal outdoor areas provide natural gathering points, whether for shared meals, informal conversations or moments of quiet reflection, while the layout of the village ensures that guests can easily move between social spaces and more secluded corners.
Wellness, Yoga & Retreats
A defining feature of OliveStone Village is its strong focus on wellbeing and mindful living. At the heart of the property is a dedicated 72sqm Yoga Shala, flooded with natural light and surrounded by nature. This tranquil space offers an ideal setting for yoga, meditation, movement practices and group workshops.
An outdoor swimming pool with expansive sea views complements the wellness offering, providing a peaceful place to unwind between sessions. The overall environment is deliberately calm and uncluttered, supporting focus, reflection and reconnection.
As a result, OliveStone Village is particularly well suited to yoga and wellness retreats, mindfulness and meditation programmes, writers’ and creative retreats, and small leadership or transformational gatherings where privacy and atmosphere are key.
Tailored Experiences & Retreat Support
For retreat organisers and group hosts, OliveStone Village offers flexibility and support to help shape a fully curated experience. Upon request and at an additional cost, the local team can assist with practical arrangements such as airport transfers, as well as a range of optional activities.
These may include guided excursions, hiking routes and herbal walks, horse riding tours, creative workshops, private boat rentals and traditional Greek evenings featuring live music and dance. This ability to combine structured programming with authentic local experiences allows organisers to create meaningful itineraries that reflect both the purpose of the gathering and the character of Corfu itself.
Dining Options
Food plays an important role in the OliveStone Village experience, with several dining options available to suit different group needs. Guests may opt for catering from Bahia Mare Restaurant, enjoy the services of a private chef on site, or choose homemade meals prepared by the local team.
This flexibility allows groups to tailor their dining arrangements, whether they prefer shared communal meals, relaxed self-catering or a more formal culinary experience as part of a retreat or celebration.
Location & Natural Surroundings
Agios Markos is widely regarded as one of Corfu’s most picturesque traditional villages, offering a strong sense of place and local character. From the village itself, numerous hiking trails lead directly into the surrounding countryside, providing access to mountain paths, coastal views and immersive nature experiences.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, OliveStone Village remains conveniently located within easy reach of Corfu Town, local beaches and many of the island’s cultural highlights. This balance between seclusion and accessibility makes it particularly appealing for groups who wish to feel removed from everyday life without being isolated.
Intimate Weddings & Celebrations
OliveStone Village is a sought-after setting for small, elegant destination weddings and private celebrations. Its natural charm, panoramic views and sense of privacy create a romantic and deeply atmospheric backdrop.

Families & Meaningful Gatherings
Beyond retreats and weddings, OliveStone Village is an excellent choice for large families or groups of friends looking to reconnect and celebrate together. The combination of shared spaces, private accommodation and outdoor areas encourages togetherness while allowing individuals the freedom to relax at their own pace.
