David E, UKDate of stay: October 2023 I have just returned from my second stay at the Bakery and had another fabulous time. What a wonderful villa; that my partner joked is better equipped than our house! A lot has been upgraded in the house since we were last there, and the road approaching the house has been recently re-laid. The sublime view over the whole island thankfully is still present. The old bakery is the perfect place to get away from it all with the awe inspiring surroundings of the coast and the olive groves. Some consider October a bit late but the weather was fantastic (in the 20s all week and a couple of days 27/28c), the island was calm, but the restaurants still largely buzzing - some great new ones have opened up in the nearby bays and in Corfu Town. Cannot wait to return and will be sure to stay at the Bakery when I do.
Nikki W, UKDate of stay: August 2023 An incredible villa, featuring a traditional exterior and beautiful modern interior, an amazing vista with lovely pool and including an absolutely stunning view of the bay. Everything we needed was there for cooking and enjoying Corfiot island life and more, the games cupboard was great and the aircon in all the rooms was a plus at nights in the heat of August. Aphrodite’s fantastic little food supermarket at the foot of the hill was so handy (try her homemade tsatsiki), also the bakery (baklava is awesome) and Vitamines tavernas. Car needed to visit further away but the coastline is unspoilt and idyllic so this villa was a great base for exploring it all. Thanks to the Prestige team, owners and all the friendly house & pool keepers for all their generosity + great service. We’ve had the best holiday!
Isabel P, UKDate of stay: July 2023 Stunning location with views across the coastline and over to Albania. The villa is really well set up for a family holiday with an extensive outdoor living space off the kitchen and living room and then a great pool terrace one level down - all with great views - glorious sunshine throughout the day but with good shade. The road up to the villa is steep and winding so recommend an automatic car if you are not one for hill starts! Worth it for the location though. Aphrodite's Supermarket at the bottom of the road was great for supplies and could arrange fresh meet and fish with a days notice. Also recommend the bakery next door for baklava and breakfast items. Lots of great coves and beaches to explore within a short drive - whether you are looking for a beach club and water sports or a quiet cove with turquoise water and a seafood taverna. Highly recommend Taverva Thallasso at Kamanaki and also Taverna Vitamins on the main road at the bottom of the hill - great views.
Isabel Peacock, London UKDate of stay: July 2023 The Bakery is in a really special spot, High up in the hills. The road is challenging (automatic advised) but the incredible views are worth it. We had a fantastic week as 2 families with young children. The outside space is great and pool being on a separate level helpful with little people. Bakery and mini Market at the bottom of the road kept us fed and watered and highly recommend Taverna Vitamins just at the bottom of the hill and Thalasso in Kamanaki - a truly special spot if you are up for the steep drive down. Shopping g service meant we were sorted for the first couple of days which was a great help. Only bit of feedback was that the pillows are rather hard and big and the villa could have been a little cleaner on arrival and a mid-week clean would be a bonus.
Zoe C, UKDate of stay: August 2022 The Old Bakery delivered a very high standard of comfort & relaxation. The master bedroom was glorious, waking up every morning to sunshine & stunning views was just wonderful. The living room was very comfortable but we lived mainly outside & by the pool. We also rented the guest cottage which was perfect for our son, his partner & baby. Excellent baby facilities provided also, including car seat in the taxi transfers. The air conditioning was a welcome respite from the fabulous hot weather. We had a magical storm one night, which we watched from the deckchairs on the balcony. Some days it was just bliss to chill at the villa. We had shopping delivered for our arrival & also our hire car. Taxi transfers were arranged for arrival & return. Everything ran as smoothly as it possibly could. I will miss the peacefulness, sea view & natural surroundings very much. Thank you for a great stay.
Madeleine B, UKDate of stay: June 2022 An extremely comfortable large villa with a lovely pool in a wonderful location with fabulous views. Very private but within easy driving distance of all the charming hamlets and villages of the north east coast for dining. Highly recommended.
Michael D, Lightwater, UKDate of stay: September 2021 4th year in a row at The Bakery, it is our home away from home so we obviously only have nice things to say about it. We are now veterans of the road which leads to the Villa which some may find quite daunting on their first visit. It is however well worth the experience. Jane and Annabelle as always were first class. We have been with them as customers for over 8 years and they service never fails. Missing Katavolos and Corfu already and can't wait to come back.
