Nicholas L, Frankfurt GermanyDate of stay: October 2020 It was easy to find all the information online, the policies were clear and the customer service with booking and the whole process was great, very responsive and willing to work with you and not against you. It was very reassuring to get this good feedback and information on arrival, what is around, information pack for the house, etc. The view, location, house and value for money were great! It felt secure and locks and quality of all the fixtures was top notch. The bathrooms were clearly renovated and really nice and modern and the kitchen was the higlight with the view of the ocean through the wide doors, and had everything that you might need even if you were staying there with like 10 people. Everything was clean and there was all the necessary things provided already (towels, toilet paper, blankets, hand soap, etc.) and the grounds were very nice. The pool was clean and someone came every few days to re-clean it, it was great to swim laps every morning to get some exercise. Look out though, there are a lot of neighborhood stray cats who can come in the house if you leave the doors open or unattended, but generally we didnt have a problem and none of the cats were aggressive or anything. Some areas of improvement would be the beds first off, which were pretty hard and seemed very old. I would recommend updating the beds or at least adding some pillow top mattresses or something because it was like sleeping on a rock! Also the etnertainment system was not very straightforward, I am generally a pretty TV/DVD player/Stereo savvy person, but could not in the end figure out how to work the TV and watch some of the DVDs which were there. Somehow we managed to link our phones with the weird Apple-TV-like device (called MAG 250 or something) and play music and watch some videos from online but it was kind of a workaround. There were some great restaurants around and the main city is only like 40 min drive (max) so we loved the location being away from the main city but still have the option to go for dinner or something spontaneously. All in all 9/10 stars and if they get new beds and simplify the entertainment system somehow then this place would be flawless, and for a great price as well! Our Response: Thanks so much for taking the time to post your informative review, we do really appreciate it. I just wanted to respond with regards to the negative points you raised. Firstly, the beds, it’s very difficult to provide the perfect bed. The beds were imported from UK and although extremely good quality they are around ten years old and for the fact that the villa has only been rented for the last couple of years, the owners would only use the villa once or twice a year before that and so we felt they were perfectly adequate. We will check them and speak with the owners. Also worth mentioning is the fact the owner thought the Master king was too soft and asked us to place a piece of hardboard under the mattress! Secondly with regards to the TV system, when we went to check the villa prior to our present guests we noticed the MAG250 TV box wasn’t synced with the TV. It was just a case of unplugging and re-booting the box and it immediately connected via the wifi to the TV giving a full selection of UK & European Terrestrial channels along with hundreds and hundreds of movies and box sets. We so wish you had called or messaged us and we would have given you the advice on what to do, rather than struggle on without TV for your stay. I will also check the villa book as this information I am sure is listed in the Housekeeping Section. Great that you clearly enjoyed your stay this year though and you’re returning to Villa Alyssa, we’ll see you next October!!! Best regards & stay safe. Jane & Annabelle
Sue R, Salisbury, UKDate of stay: September 2020 This was our second visit to Corfu using Prestige Villas. We stayed in Villa Alyssa overlooking an amazing panoramic view of Albania across to Corfu Town. The pool was amazing and the outdoor space was superb. Inside the Villa we also had a large open plan Kitchen/Dining/Living Room area. It had all mod cons and was great preparing our meals as we still had the incredible view to look at. We also had an impressive roof terrace outside our bedroom. In the evening it was lovely to watch the island come alive at night and look out over the sea during sunset.The holiday was so good that we have already booked to come back next year, September 2021, before our holiday was over. We will be using a different villa so we can have a different experience which was why we booked a different Villa to the one we had last year.Annabelle and the team were so good as flights were constantly being changed and cancelled but they worked tirelessly to ensure we had a great holiday. Another service they offer is an online shop which you can use before you arrive and delivered to your Villa for when you arrive. During these difficult times we found that doing the bulk of our shopping in advance meant we only needed to pop out for thinks like milk etc. Another brilliant service. Many thanks again. The countdown for next year has already begun!
Victoria S, UKDate of stay: August 2020 Completely private but be warned: road to the property is not for the feint hearted and you shouldn’t go for the smallest engine car if you want to make it up the hills!! Amazing location views to die for - immaculate pool
Kim W, London UKDate of stay: August 2020 We had a fantastic stay. The view was exceptional. Villa was clean with everything we needed and hosts were very quick responding to messages. Highly recommended
Andrea M, Winchester, UKDate of stay: August 2019 As a family of 5, we had a very enjoyable stay in this villa, once we had mastered the steep access road to and from. We were very comfortable and had everything we required. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the stunning views. Thank you.
Max W, AustraliaDate of stay: July 2019 The villa presented to us aligned with our expectations. The whole booking process was seamless and questions raised were responded to promptly. The only concern we had was the Corfu rubbish situation (which is out of Prestige Villas control), which put a bit of dampener on things.
Tony O, IrelandDate of stay: June 2019 Villa Alyssa is quite simply the best villa I have stayed at on the island of Corfu. The standard of fit and finish throughout is very high and the view from the villa is exceptional both by day and by night. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Villa Alyssa is the swimming pool which is much longer and deeper ( at the deep end ) than the usual pools featured in lesser villas. There is only one downside to Alyssa and that is access. Personally I had little difficulty using a car to get to and from the villa but the drive up is very steep with many hair-pin bends and some may find the drive both to and from the villa a little daunting. In my humble opinion however, Alyssa is well worth the effort and I am very sure that we will be staying here again in the future.
