Villa Description
The Old Bakery – Exclusive to Prestige Villas, Katavolos, Nissaki, Corfu
Exclusive to and fully managed by Prestige Villas, The Old Bakery is a beautifully restored four-bedroom country house with an additional detached guest cottage set beside the pool. As its name suggests, this charming property was once the local bakery serving the pretty hillside hamlet of Katavolos. Today, it has been lovingly transformed into a unique and characterful home by its British owner, combining authentic Corfiot architecture with modern comforts.
Nestled amidst tranquil olive groves overlooking Nissaki, The Old Bakery exudes rustic charm and timeless elegance. The original section of the house retains its flagged stone floors, metre-thick walls, and low-beamed ceilings, evoking the warmth and history of a bygone era. In contrast, the newer extension brings light and space, featuring a bright contemporary shower room with dual rainfall showers and a fresh, modern design.
Throughout the house, views from the picture-perfect windows frame the landscape like a painting, rolling hills, silver-green olive trees, and the glistening Ionian Sea beyond.
During the warmer months, guests can retreat to the covered veranda that spans the rear of the house, a peaceful space ideal for leisurely lunches or evening meals around the large solid-wood dining table, followed by relaxed moments on the comfortable sofas as the sun sets over the bay.
Below the house lies the impressive 10m x 5m swimming pool, surrounded by stone terraces and lush tropical foliage. Completely private, this area offers breathtaking views down the valley to the azure sea below. Comfortable sun loungers rest beneath a shaded pergola, providing the perfect spot to unwind during the heat of the afternoon.
Beside the pool sits the Guest Cottage Suite (available at a supplement), offering a serene retreat with a king-size bed and en-suite shower room—ideal for couples seeking extra privacy.
With its harmonious blend of old-world charm and modern style, The Old Bakery is a true gem,a peaceful Corfiot haven where history, comfort, and natural beauty meet.
Please note: The Guest Cottage carries a supplement.

Nissaki is one, if not, the most popular areas along the North East coast of Corfu for villa holidays. Nissaki spreads itself along a 3km stretch of stunning coastline, encompassing numerous bays and small mountain hamlets. The harbour is the focal point of the area, with a selection of traditional tavernas located around the pretty harbour and immaculate pebbly beach. Here you will find the clearest water, a haven for snorkelling. There are a good selection of restaurants here, Miltos Restaurant is the built on the edge of the rocky outcrop overlooking the sea and the beach. It’s the largest most popular taverna down in Nissaki where Agatha & Lakis and their family before them have been serving delicious home cooked food since 1955.

Penny C, Melbourne, AustraliaDate of stay: April 2019 The villa is so lovely. The view is amazing and is well worth the short hair raising drive to get there (by the end of the week we were used to this drive - just about!). We had a week of two halves, thunderstorms for the first half and then amazing sunshine. The villa was a perfect location for both. The villa has everything you could need and is particularly great for travelling with children.. the massive millennium falcon and a baby bouncer were extremely popular and useful. The pool is just lovely and with heating absolutely swimmable even in early April. Aphrodite’s shop at the bottom of the hill can provide all the basics and we took advantage of the internet shop pre arrival. G&Ts ready within 5 minutes of arriving... what could be better! Also a shout out to Vitamens the local taverna... great food, kid friendly and parking.
Robert C, UKDate of stay: October/November 2018 A great villa in a fantastic setting. The access road is steep, narrow and windy, but that adds to the charm of the setting and the views are spectacular. The decent sized heated pool was a real bonus in late October and early November. The children (and the adults) loved it. The owner has created a fabulous holiday villa which really feels like a home, as he allows access to his substantial music and games collections etc. My daughter left a watch at the property and Prestige Villas were fantastic in finding it and returning it to us in the UK. Thank you to the owner and Prestige Villas. We would love to visit again.
Michael D, Lightwater, UKDate of stay: September 2018 The Bakery is a beautiful Villa with fantastic views. The road up to the Villa is challenging for those who aren't familiar with Corfuian Mountain roads. But when you get there the view is more than worth the journey. The Villa is family orientated with wifi and loads of TV options as well as an outside screen. The pool area is lovely but the loungers could do with some new cushions. We came with a party of 7 adults and the additional pool side bedroom is vital then. In reality the Villa sleeps 6 adults with room for two younger children in the bunk bed room. This increases to 8 adults when the pool side room is included. Kitchen is well kitted out and the Master Bedroom is light, cool and has a fantastic view as well as an ensuite bathroom. The other 3 bedrooms need to share a well appointed master bathroom. The poolside bedroom is fully self sufficient with bath and ensuite. All in all The Bakery is a lovely family home which we were lucky enough to be able to use for our 17 day trip to heaven. To Dan and his family thank you for giving us the privilege to use your home.
Joanna P, UKDate of stay: August 2018 Thoroughly enjoyable stay at The Bakery. We even got used to the drive up the steep winding road to the villa. Every amenity you could hope for and, even though we ran out of water on a few occasions, it didn't affect our enjoyment. The Villa is beautiful and the setting is stunning. To wake up to the most amazing view every morning is really a major plus for us. It was plenty big enough for 10 of us to stay at without feeling cramped at all (the extra room in the guest cottage was idyllic for 2 x 20 yr old girls!). Highly recommend.
Kate M, Cambridge, UKDate of stay: August 2018 3rd Stay. Lovely as ever.
The Russels, UKDate of stay: June 2018 Fabulous villa, very comfortable, private and beautifully decorated, with a simply wonderful view. So well equipped -a home from home! Loved the outdoor cinema screen and portable speakers! Great pool with a view, beautifully maintained. Perfect holiday retreat.
DR, London, UKDate of stay: June 2018 Bakery is a gem of a villa. Nested within olive groves up a hill overlooking the central bay of Corfu, the view has to be seen to be fully appreciated! The villa is equipped to a remarkable standard with obvious great pride. And the pool is outstanding!
