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.

Dan R, London, UKDate of stay: September 2017 Villa is so well equipped and setup with superb linen and all amenities...and the view is spectacular. Pool is sensational. Terrace perfect for wasting away the evening chatting, playing games, eating and drinking...all against the backdrop of the stunning scenery! Will be booking again for sure!
Louisa B, UKDate of stay: August 2017 Nothing was too much trouble when it came to booking The Bakery. Jane organised everything for us, including car hire, airport transfers and a private chef. The villa is situated up a steep road but the views when you reach the top are well worth the climb. The Bakery has been beautifully refurbished and the owner has provided everything you could need for a home from home stay. A really special holiday in a gorgeous location.
Donna K, UKDate of stay: July 2016 The Old Bakery is a gorgeous villa, well-equipped and superbly managed by Prestige. Any issues were dealt with promptly. The views are absolutely stunning (the long and winding road to reach the villa is definitely worth the effort). The only downside during our stay in July was an over abundance of wasps who came every day to drink from the pool, making entry and exit a hazardous and unpleasant proposition.

Rebecca Duncan, Hertfordshire, UKDate of stay: September 2015 What an amazing week we had in a beautiful house in a stunning location. Spent the last week of Summer with our children before they returned to Uni and we were all in paradise - from the stunning views, the gorgeous pool, the outdoor cinema, music systems and the luxurious interiors - we didn't want to leave! The house was so well appointed and we rarely left the comfort of our own surroundings - only once for a supermarket visit, twice to the sea and a couple of times to eat out in the evening - we really could have stayed for ever. A very easy booking experience and helpful assistance when there if we needed it - we would thoroughly recommend a visit to The Old Bakery and will hopefully be back again soon!
Kate Mackenzie, London, UKDate of stay: May 2015 Gorgeous villa, beautifully maintained. The view is lovely. Pool is unusually large and the owner had just installed a new heater which made it warm in May. Incredibly well equipped with every tech gadget imaginable whilst still being full of character. Owner and maintenance company brilliant at making sure everything is in place for you to have a brilliant holiday. Thoroughly recommend.
