Jen1says, UKDate of stay: July 2013 We had a last minute opportunity to have a week holiday and after some searching on sites found this villa on Corfu. Andy the owner was great and answered all of our questions very quickly. This allowed us to look at flights and car hire without any hassle. The car hire from the airport has an anytime pickup day and night and the villa was easy to find following Andys very informative directions. The villa came complete with its own pool which we struggled to keep the kids out of. It was great to sit and read for a while and then have a swim to cool off. The villa has Air Con so the temperature can be controlled, of a night, as it was quite humid whilst we stayed. The weather could have done with a good thunder storm but it didn’t happen whilst we were there. As we had the car to get us from the airport to the villa we did some trips out. The villa is a 5 minute drive to the local Pelekas beach but well worth a day or two out and about. If you go to Paleokastritsa Beach a bit further away then you must go to the monastery. It is a good 10 minute walk up a steep hill but well worth it for the fantastic views and the tranquillity of the monastery. It is also possible to park at the top but we had already parked the car locally. The relaxing courtyard with grapes growing over the wall into the sea is superb. Women are asked to cover up with supplied skirts if you go inside the monastery. There also seems to be quite a lot of cats and kittens in the grounds which kept the children amused and there was a museum giving a brief history of the monesterys artifacts. At Pelekas there are plenty of Tavernas and places with gorgeous fresh food. We ate at Alexandras which has wonderful sea views. We got to watch the sunset with stunning orange and purple skies. It made it really romantic even though we had the kids squabbling over who was to play what game next!! You can’t have everything. We really would recommend this villa and would love to come again. It is clean, neat and full of stuff to do – not that we needed it - like games, a games console for the kids and don’t forget about the private pool!!
Geoff, UKDate of stay: September 2013 A spacious, well appointed and great value for money villa, with everything you need for a relaxing holiday in a very tranquil location. When you've had enough of family BBQ's and sunny afternoons by the pool this peaceful location is and ideal base to explore Corfu by car, stunning beaches at Pelekas, Agios Gordios and others are only a 5 or 10 min drive away and all with just too many taverna's and bars which makes selection difficult, but what a problem to have !!!!! Booking again in 2014 for our 3rd year.
