‘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: September 2021 Enjoyed this villa very much. It is tucked away in a much older hilltop area near the achilleon palace. Some visitors have complained about the driveway and steepness but it was not a problem for us in a medium sized car. The floor plan is a little unusual with kitchen upstairs off the veranda and a sitting area downstairs. It worked well to give two couples some separation when needed. The veranda was spacious and airy with distant views north to Corfu town. Enjoyed the landscape. Quiet, and privacy. The private pool as a nice respite from the hordes at the beaches. Prestige villas fixed a plumbing issue with the water heater immediately when we called so we were very happy with them. Our only complaint is that the coffee maker was on its last legs, and kitchen knives were pretty poor for cooking. It was stocked with beer, wine, instant coffee and some snacks. We got ground coffee and clothes soap on our own. Walking through gastouri in the evening was beautiful. No other visitors around just us and the locals. Could not really walk to any tavernas in the evening. Perhaps closed due to COVID. Town of Benitses an easy drive down to the coast. O stratos we ate twice and was excellent. The owner of the villa was supposed to come and fix the TV service but he never showed. So we missed a few UCL matches - so what. All in all, we loved this place. Had a wonderful 6 night stay. Our Response: Thank you so much for your great review. Having just received similar feedback from other clients who stay at Rossi regularly, we will certainly look into upgrading the kitchen equipment. We are so sorry that you missed out on the excellent village tavernas which were closed during your stay. We have been assured by their owners that they do plan to re-open in 2022 though. ​

Date of stay: August 2021 Prestige Villas are the perfect company to deal with. Jane and Annabelle respond very quickly and the team that support them at the villas are very professional and friendly too. This was our fourth visit to Villa Rossi and we really enjoyed it. The Villa now is in need of modernisation, as areas and equipment are starting to look a little tatty and dated. But overall a really lovely stay. Our response: Hi Nicky thank you so much for your review. I'm passing on your comments to the owners and hope they will take on board your comments and look at making some improvements for the future season. ​Best wishes Jane & Annabelle ​

Date of stay: August 2021 We really enjoyed our holiday and found the prestige to be flexible and very helpful throughout. Initially they waited to take payments until it was certain we could travel. Then they were helpful with all our enquires. The villa was lovely and they were on hand to help with any issues during our stay. We would certainly recommend them.

Date of stay: September 2019 We had a really good stay at the villa. There is plenty of space outside and upstairs on the covered balcony. Good size pool. Villa is very conveniently located for getting anywhere else on the island. Property management was very helpful, gardeners friendly and efficient.

Date of stay: July 2019 Vi hade en härlig vecka i Villa Rossi. Villan var stor och rymlig och i bra skick. Trädgården var välhållen och poolen servades flera gånger under veckan. Köket var välutrustat men ytterligare några bra knivar och skärbrädor hade varit användbart. Läget i pittoreska Gastouri var lugnt men centralt och grannarna vänliga och välkomnande. Flygplatsen med starter och landningar hördes tidiga morgnar och sena kvällar men vi var förberedda på det. Det var gott om små katter, skällande hundar och några höns. Vi hittade några mindre trafikerade löprundor, bland annat på vägen mot Perama. Den blå lokalbussen nr 10 stannar närmast vid Gastouri Philharmonic Orchestra mittemot Taverna To Pouli Tsi Kotas, vilket också var bästa stället att beställa taxibilar till. Vi klarade oss utan bil och beställde matleverans från eJoy-markets i Dassia. Translation: We had a lovely week at Villa Rossi. The villa was large and spacious and in good condition. The garden was well kept and the pool was serviced several times during the week. The kitchen was well equipped but some good knives and cutting boards had been useful. The location in quaint Gastouri was quiet but central and the neighbors friendly and welcoming. The airport with starts and landings was heard early mornings and late evenings, but we were prepared for it. There were plenty of small cats, barking dogs and some chickens. We found some less busy runs, including on the way to Perama. The blue local bus no. 10 stops closest to the Gastouri Philharmonic Orchestra opposite the Taverna To Pouli Tsi Kotas, which was also the best place to order taxis. We managed without a car and ordered food delivery from eJoy-markets in Dassia.

Date of stay: June 2019 Villa Rossi is a beautiful house and very big ( a bit too big for the two of us, but we couldn’t resist that pool! There was excellent air con in the bedrooms - very welcome as the temperature was in the mid 30’s. Our only disappointment really was with the kitchen which is very small for the size of the house. It is only minutes to drive to most places we needed to go to, and this is a great area to stay in. Everyone we met was extremely friendly, and we loved the waving and greetings from our elderly neighbours down the road! There are hornets by the pool, but they had no interest in us, and we quickly learned to ignore them. We had a great time, Our Response: Hi Jane & James! Thank you for your lovely review. Yes we realise that the kitchen is not the largest, unfortunately in the old traditional Greek houses, and this one is over a hundred years old, they didn't build huge kitchens like we all expect today. Really pleased that you enjoyed your stay though and I'll mention to the gardener about those Hornets and if there's a nest we'll get it removed. Best wishes to you both and hope to see you again in Corfu in the future.

Date of stay: April 2019 Leider kein funktionierenderWLAN Schlüssel. Leider keine Schlüssel für die kl.Tore. Nette Nachbarn hat uns geholfen mit der sehr steilen Auffahrt.ein schönes Örtchen. Einen guten Bàcker...eine sehr saubere Anlage vielen Dank dafür Translation: Unfortunately, no working wireless key. Unfortunately no keys for the gate. Nice neighbors helped us with the very steep driveway. A nice place. A good bakery ... a very clean facility thanks for that. Our Response: Thank you for your review. This weeks guests called our office immediately they arrived from the house phone to ask us to 1) Assist with the wifi as it wasn't working 2) To unlock the gate. We immediately suggested that perhaps the wifi password had reset to factory settings which is does occasionally following a power cut or storm, on using the password under the router it worked perfectly and we sent the gardener up to open the gate. It is disappointing that you didn't contact us during your stay as these issues could have been immediately resolved. Glad you found the house to be clean and hope despite the very mixed weather you encountered you did all enjoy your stay at Villa Rossi.
