Villa Description

Villa Claire is situated between the traditional Greek village of Gastouri and the picturesque coastal resort of Benitses. The Villa is named after the owners Grandmother who gave her Grandson Manthos the plot of land some years ago for which he designed and built his dream home and in which his family have spent many happy years.

The villa is exceptionally spacious, stylishly furnished and has rather a quirky design with a modern twist. The ground floor is built on several levels and consists of a large entrance area, a comfortable sitting room with corner sofa, fireplace & wall mounted TV. Open-plan to the living area is a modern kitchen with breakfast table for 6, a 2nd dining area on a higher level, a twin bedroom and an enormous bathroom with corner bath.

Two further bedrooms can be found on the first floor, both of which are accessed by their own spiral staircase. There is a Master Bedroom with King-size bed, en-suite shower room and balcony with wonderful views. A second children’s bedroom with Twin Beds and a balcony with views over the valley.

There’s a guest accommodation located in the garden for the 7th & 8th guests (available at a supplement).

The gardens are absolutely stunning and are immaculately maintained. There is a fabulous built-in undercover BBQ with outside dining area and a new swimming pool (Size 3.85 x 7.30 and 1.5 deep)with 6 sun-loungers and very large parasols.

This house is perfect for a family holiday, it’s set in beautiful gardens, in a peaceful rural area surrounded by stunning countryside, but yet Benitses is only a 5 minute drive down the lane where you will find a great choice of traditional & International restaurants and cafe bars. If you prefer authentic tradition, picture postcard Gastouri with it’s maze of narrow streets which still maintains it’s Greek way of life is only a few hundred metres down the hill. Famous for it’s village bread which has been baked at Hectorus Bakery in the centre of the village for more than one hundred years. We are sure this villa is a popular choice and we guarantee you a perfect holiday.

‘Highlights’ – Traditional Corfiot Village, Achilleion Palace & easy access to Benitses & Corfu Town

Gastouri village lies 10km south of Corfu Town making it the ideal location to enjoy the vast sandy beaches of the south, the UNESCO historical town of Corfu and the Achilleion Palace & gardens, once the home to Princess Sissi & Kaiser Wilhelm and where James Bond ‘For your Eyes only’ was filmed. This traditional Corfiot village has 3 tavernas, some tourist shops selling traditional olive wood ornaments etc, a couple of cafe bars & a mini-market for the very basics. It’s a sleepy village where the bread is still baked the traditional way and old ladies with Donkeys wander the streets carrying fresh produce on their heads. Gastouri was also awarded Greece best village. The area surrounding the village is well tendered and the location of many upmarket properties. This beautiful area is the perfect choice for those looking for a central location with easy access to the majority of Corfu Island with Benitses with it’s wonderful selection of restaurants just a five minute drive down from the centre of the village.

Date of stay: October 2020 Niki and Manthos’ villa was an unexpected gem hidden deep in the hills of Corfu. The villa was large with enough rooms to accommodate a family of six with young children. The pool(s) were a highlight for the children and the extensive garden space was welcomed in the Corfu sun. Niki was very helpful with our needs before, during and after our stay. Rooms were nicely furnished and wifi was far reaching (even to the ends of garden). Villa Claire isn’t too far from Corfu Old Town (25 min drive) but be wary of the windings roads leading up to the villa as they are quite tight. Car is essential and there is ample parking space. Overall we would definitely recommend Villa Claire and we would gladly stay here again should the opportunity arise.

Date of stay: September 2019 The villa and grounds were beautiful. The only reason we gave the comfort 4 stars is that we didn't find the bed's very comfortable. However, I understand that is personal taste so can be difficult to please everyone. The hosts were great, we knew they were there if we needed them but were happy to give us all the privacy and space we could ask for.

Date of stay: July/August 2019 We had the most relaxing, calm, adult family holiday we have ever had. The location was gorgeous, totally private and isolated. The villa was very well presented and comfy including 3 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large lounge area and fully equipped kitchen. The gardens are immaculate and inviting and I spent the majority of my time there in the garden and grounds. The owners were nothing but charming and helpful. The villa is starting to need a little maintenance however for it to keep its 5 star rating. This is a villa for adults or adult family (teenagers) due to pool rules and maintenance but that suited us well. There is a very nice village nearby where you can buy groceries and a bakery where you can buy freshly baked bread. You will need transport (not too large) to access the village as the area is very hilly and even though you could walk if you were fit enough it would take a good part of an hour one way and in the highest heat of the day this may not be comfortable. Corfu town is not far away and there is a bus service which runs regularly from the next village. We had the holiday of a lifetime amongst the people of Corfu who are friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this villa and would book it again if we should ever return..

Date of stay: September 2018 ​Villa Claire is a true hidden gem - the most perfect holiday retreat. The quite hideaway location offered us complete privacy, in beautiful natural surroundings with stunning far reaching views. The villa was excellently equipped, spacious and very comfortable. A wonderful pool set in beautiful gardens. Villa Claire is in the perfect location to explore the whole of Corfu island. Niki and Manthos are lovely people, warm, welcoming and happy to offer any help and advice. They even prepared a delicious meal on our arrival at the villa as our flight had been delayed and we arrived quite late at night.

Date of stay: September 2018 Very comfortable and very well equipped. The host Niki was very kind and helpful. The bedrooms are comfortable with nice balconies. We liked the privacy and the the quiet. On the other hand the lack of door in the master bedroom is inconvenient! The spiral stares to the bedrooms might be a problem for older people. All over we enjoyed our staying very much.

Date of stay: August 2018 Fast reaction and readiness for any support. Tips for other travellers Not far a way from Benitses.In our opinion the best fish food we have got on Corfy was in Taverna Loris. Close to Achilleon Palace. In principle having car you can reach any paces on Corfu within 1 hour.
