The Courti Estate is a restored 18th-century Venetian country estate on the south-east coast of Corfu, in the fishing village of Messonghi and close to the Ionian Sea. It stands in its own gated ten acres of ancient olive groves, with the sea on one side and the mountains on the other. The estate is available for private hire, and its main house has nine bedrooms, large living areas, a professional kitchen and a library. It also has its own organic farm and a 100 square metre infinity pool among the olive trees.
A central manor house sits in a walled courtyard with an olive press and a private chapel, and the earliest written record of the estate dates from 1723. Ceremonies can take place in front of the chapel, with dinners laid in the restored olive press or out in the grounds. Guest lists run from 20 up to 500, and an indoor option takes up to 120 guests so the day does not depend on the weather. Couples can plan directly with the estate team or work with their own planner. Corfu airport is 21 km away and Corfu Town 22 km.

A Venetian estate behind fortified walls
The Courti Estate is an 18th-century Venetian country estate in Messonghi, on the south-east coast of Corfu. A central manor house stands in a walled courtyard with an olive press and a private chapel. The earliest written record dates from 1723, and the entrance arch carries an inscription recording works of 1770.
Ten acres of olive groves
The gated estate covers ten acres of ancient olive trees, with the Ionian Sea on one side and the mountains on the other. There is an organic farm and greenhouse, an infinity pool among the olives, and the sea is a short walk from the gates.
Weddings with the whole estate

Wedding
Our wedding week at Courti
We had the most wonderful week at Courti in July '22 for our wedding. The estate is truly tranquil, has photographic potential at every turn, with sublime sunrise and sunsets. Credit to Chryssa and team for restoring Courti to maybe even better than its former glory. A high spec whilst keeping the character of the estate in tact. This is a place that will age beautifully if cared for as it is today.
The in-house team are very hard working and were available at any time for questions which we really did appreciate. Liliana specifically is a super talented chef!
Courti gave us an unforgettable experience and once in a lifetime memories our family will never forget.
