Perfect vacation - stay here if you can!
From our initial contact with the property owner right through to the last minute of our vacation, everything was perfect! The villa is located in a very quiet area of north Corfu, but this was perfect for us as we had local tavernas and beaches near-by with some smaller towns within a 10min drive. The villa is well set out and had everything we needed. The pool and the views from the pool area and upper balcony are exceptional, especially during sunset. We recommend you get a car due to the location although we walked to the local tavernas on most nights (they are both excellent) - because of the rural location, bring a torch as the roads are not lit! A special mention to Mr Makis the villa manager, he was present most days (although not a bother to us) either cleaning, maintaining or just checking on the properties and he was very reassuring about security and offered for us to call with any questions about Corfu, not just the villa! We are a family of 8 (4 adults and 4 children 4-8 years old) and this was the perfect villa - we cannot recommend highly enough.

Everything and more!
Everything you see online is exactly what you get. The Villa is two separate floors. Each floor has a kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms each with a full bathroom. You must go outside to access the other unit as there are no interior stairs. There is a washer on each floor with drying racks on the decks. The infinity pool is large and kept at a very comfortable temperature. There are 8 chaise lounges and a wonderful picnic table in the shade for meals or games. Villa Arete is the middle unit, but it still feels as though you have plenty of privacy. The driveway is very steep, so driving a manual transmission car can be challenging, although there is plenty of parking to accommodate 2 cars per Villa. There are myriad surrounding beaches. St. Spyrion is sandy and family friendly with a lovely little cafe close by. Kassiopi is smooth rock and crowded, but the surrounding choices for restaurants and shopping make it attractive. And, there are many, many more choices. We loved the northern area of Corfu. The owners restaurant recommendations were simply phenomenal. We were a family of 9 from 15 to 78 and not one of us was in the least bit disappointed. The local caretaker was extremely responsive to every need. Have we said enough great things about this property? Perhaps, but we have only scratched the surface.

Ticking all the boxes
Excellent new villa ticking almost all the boxes for a family. 5 min drive from an excellent beach for kids shallow, warm and sandy (Agios Spiridon). 7 minutes walk from little village with tavernas that do takeaway with all the Greek favourites. Excellent pool (multicolours at night) with amazing view of Albania and incredible sunsets. 5 min walk from icecream place. Actually 2 apartments one on top of the other with private entrances and kitchen and lounges. Perfect for the inlaws or older kids or friends. Amazing place.

Familienurlaub
Drei sehr schöne Villen mit grandiosem Ausblick. Wir waren mit 7 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern in der mittleren Villa. Der Platz ist ausreichend, die Einrichtung (hauptsächlich Küche) könnte etwas besser sein, was bei uns egal war, da wir abends immer Essen waren Kochen für 9 Personen fast unmöglich. Die Hausmeisterin war sehr freundlich und immer bemüht einem zu helfen Für die Preislage sind mir die Villen zu dicht zusammen, wenig Privatsphäre. Jeder kann jedem in die Zimmer schauen.

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear the property did not fully meet your expectations. Regarding privacy, our webpage shows that the villas are near to each other….regarding landscape the owner has been informed about your complain and the area has been cleared however, in the summer months the grass becomes dry due to our “save water” policy.

Superbe villa !
La villa est superbe, avec une vue magnifique ! La villa était très propre et est très bien équipée. La piscine est génial. Le seul petit défaut est la proximité avec les deux autres villas sur le même terrain. A noter : la villa est sur deux étages qui communiquent pas un escalier extérieur.
