One of the best attractions in Corfu tells the story of the British colonization of the Greek island during the 19th century, where the palace was built with an elegant classic façade and luxurious furniture to be the home of the High Commissioner Frederick Adam, before turning into the ownership of the famous writer Lawrence Dorell during the era of the thirties.

The palace is characterized by its spacious area extending to 260 acres of residential buildings, ancient traditional bathrooms, artifacts, and manicured lush gardens. It also houses a museum that includes publications, stone carvings, excavations, and artworks, some dating back to the Byzantine era with rare documents relating to the palace.
