Villa Description
This delightful villa was completed in 2016 and is very much, as its name implies, a peaceful ‘retreat’. Built of natural stone to a size of 136m2 and furnished to an exceptionally high standard, it’s nestled in the olive groves but yet just 100m from one of Corfu’s ‘whitest’ beaches. It’s a perfect choice for couples and families who are looking for a very comfortable accommodation and just a one minute walk to the pretty beach of Avlaki and its restaurants.
Avlaki Bay is Corfu’s perfect picture postcard resort with its sweeping white pebble beach awarded a blue flag and its crystal clear waters. Here you will find a handful of upmarket beach front tavernas specialising in traditional Greek & seafood cuisine. This is not a happening resort, it’s peaceful and tranquil and perfect for relaxing. Here you can ‘while away’ an afternoon sat watching the yachts anchor up in the bay or for the more energetic there is a Sailing School offering Dinghy Sailing and Windsurfing. For a livelier night the harbour town of Kassiopi is just a 5 minute drive where you will find lots more restaurants, beach boutiques and cafe bars.

Is this area suitable for me?
Beach – Pebble
Restaurants & Bars – Two very popular tavernas overlooking the beach
Boat Hire – Yes with Avlaki Boat Hire
Supermarkets – No
‘Highlights’ – Crystal clear waters and a great Water-sports centre
Just south of the harbour town of Kassiopi lies the tiny resort of Avlaki. Not really a village as such, the area is very popular with water sports enthusiasts who enjoy the excellent sailing and waters ports facilities on offer here from Corfu Sailing Centre. The beach itself is a sweeping bay of white pebbles with lapping turquoise waters. The coastal road lies just behind the beach where you will find a couple of excellent tavernas with good reputations. Both The Cavo Barbaro and Avlaki Taverna have excellent Trip Advisor reviews.

Vanessa, London UKDate of stay: October 2022 Lovely house in great spot and no neighbours over looking so very private. Very comfortable and well laid out with great outdoor spaces. Loved the proximity to so many fantastic beaches and restaurants.
Vivienne, UKDate of stay: September 2022 Wonderful peaceful Villa. If you enjoy walking this is the place to stay
Donald, Toronto, CanadaDate of stay: October 2021 Beautifully appointed villa. Garden/pool area is great. Not far to the beach. 2 excellent restaurants close to the villa.
Jason, London UKDate of stay: July 2021 Amazing villa! 100% recommend. We really didn't want to go home and we'll definitely be back.
Jane C, UKDate of stay: July/August 2021 Villa Avlaki is a superb villa built in traditional stone with modern stylish decor and everything of high quality, as shown in the photos.We found it perfect for our multigenerational family with 2 double bedrooms on the ground floor for my elderly father and son, while I had the master suite on the first floor which had a large private terrace and beautiful en-suite with bath & shower. The air conditioning in every room was efficient, easy to operate and very necessary in the 40 degree temperatures!! The kitchen is tiny but well equipped and the welcome pack was much appreciated, thanks. We also used the supermarket delivery service recommended on the Prestige Villas website, which was excellent. Plus there are 2 small supermarkets about a 5 minute drive from the villa which stocked food & everything else we needed. We mostly used the Weber barbecue outdoors, which is of excellent quality and easy to operate. The Villa is totally private with no other buildings around so not overlooked and very peaceful. There are several different seating areas outside for dining, sunbathing by the pool or simply relaxing surrounded by the beautiful gardens. The pool though extended, is small and not very deep (1.3m max)so jumping in/diving not possible but perfect for relaxing on a lilo. There is a road that leads passed the villa down to Avlaki beach, which is about a 5 minute stroll. You could hear the occasional vehicle when sat by the pool but it did not disturb us. The beach was not busy, even in high season and the water beautifully clear. We visited both restaurants opposite the beach-Seafood Avlaki & Taverna Barbato-both excellent & popular, so booking is necessary. We had a few issues which were quickly resolved by the villa owner & her maintenance team-the excellent Tasos & Antigone. A suggestion-the password for the WiFi could be written more clearly in the Villa information ie in lowercase so as not to cause confusion. And we like the local tv/radio but sadly even Tasos couldn’t get either to work, although Netflix and other international channels were available. This was only a slight disappointment as the pool, outside areas and gardens were where we spent all our time. The lighting & candles at night gave an absolutely beautiful atmosphere which enhanced our dining and encouraged regular night time swims in the pool. I would like to thank Jane & Annabelle for their excellent communication and organisation. Prestige Villas dealt well with the Covid situation in the early days and throughout the ever changing situation, always keeping us updated about our options. We booked in early 2020 and Jane allowed us to carry our booking over to this year so that we finally got our Corfu holiday, which, after over 18 months of waiting, was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you to our host and the whole team. We look forward to returning....
Sarah BDate of stay: September 2018 This lovely stone house nestled in the woods was the perfect getaway with plenty of interior and exterior space! The beautiful bay for swimming and great restaurants were a short walk away. Our host could not have been more accommodating and accessible. We would recommend this house to anyone who is visiting Corfu!
Vivien LDate of stay: July 2018 We had a lovely stay in this house which I was surprised I was able to book at short notice. We found the place easily with the owner's instructions and had a pretty idyllic week at Avlaki Beach. The house is well equipped and aesthetically pleasing, comfortable beds and lovely surroundings. The beach really was 2 minutes away and was not crowded at the beginning of July. Another beach, a short walk away was deserted and it felt as if we'd gone back to a quieter time, blissful. There was a friendly restaurant on Avlaki beach which cooked great food. We highly recommend the house and the area and would happily go back again.
