Nedege F, Walton-on-Thames, UKDate of stay: August 2018 We had a great time at villa Rossi. Very quiet, the pictures representing very well the villa. Very clean, amazing terrace, the outside areas, swimming pool and garden is really good. The people who are looking after the villa are really nice and helpful. Thanks to Annabelle and Jane for their help and answering all our questions! You need a car as the villa is in a very (lovely) small village. We walked few times to the village to get some food at taverna, great to have that option.
Bruce E, Crawley, UKDate of stay: July 2018 Great villa in a quiet old village.. Only two places to eat with limited menus. Well equipped with a large balcony for the evenings. Large well maintained garden and pool area. There are a lot of wasps around the pool, but they are not interested in anything you’re doing or have, as they are only after the water from the pool. You can walk places, but it’s 2km either way down very steep roads - alright to walk down but a struggle getting back up. We didn’t hire a car at the start but did half way through the holiday, which I would recommend as it not only gets you up the hills, but allows you to get to other beaches etc. You can walk to Benitses, which has lots of restaurants, but it’s about a 3km walk. There are taxis there to get back for about 10-15 euros, and they didn’t seem to be fussed how many they took in the taxi. Taxis can be hard to get though as you’re fairly close to the airport, so they are all busy doing airport runs.
Jo D, Manchester, UKDate of stay: July 2018 We had a great time. The villa was roomy, comfortable and Chris and Jane had thought of everything a family might need. Thanks!
Hans W, GermanyDate of stay: June 2018 Die Ankunft war trotz der guten Beschreibung von Jane etwas schwierig. Das Key Pad am Tor funktionierte nicht, somit war der Zugang zum Haus nicht möglich. Telefonieren! Desweiteren war der Code für das Schlüsselkästchen am Haus falsch. Telefonieren! Auch der Code für das WLAN (WIFI) war falsch. Telefonieren! Die Geschirrspülmaschine ist total verkalkt und spült sehr schlecht. Eine Teekanne könnte auch nicht schaden. An der Wegbegrenzung der Zufahrt muss man auf herausstehende Armierungseisen achten. Reservereifen vorteilhaft! Die Küche ist im 1.Stock mit angrenzender großer, überdachter Veranda. Will man im Garten essen, muss man die Sachen alle heruntertragen. Das alles aber kann den positiven Gesamteindruck nur unwesentlich schmälern. Die Lage ist idyllisch, die Veranda riesig und dennoch gemütlich. Von hier aus hat man auch einen phantastischen Blick auf Corfu Town, einschließlich des Flugplatzes mit den startenden und landenden Flugzeugen. Ein weiteres Highlight ist der große und sehr schön gelegene Pool. Corfu Town ist in einer Viertel Stunde schnell erreicht. Die 2.Taverna am Ort (Kerkiras) kann ich nicht empfehlen. Die Lammkoteletts waren ungenießbar, ebenso der Hauswein! Ein sehr gutes Restaurant in Corfu ist das 'Venetian Well' Hier kann man an einem schönen kleinen und ruhigen Platz sehr gut essen. Schöne Plätze (Cafés) in Corfu sind auch am Falerati (NO) und Kanoni am Ende der Landebahn. Dann haben wir noch ein idyllisches Weingut namens Ambelonas entdeckt, wo man schön Abendessen kann. Der Hauswein ist Geschmacksache, in jedem Fall aber originell und eine Verkostung wert. Sehenswert sind natürlich das Achilleion und der "Kaiserstuhl" an der Westküste. Translation: The arrival was a bit difficult despite the good description of Jane. The key pad at the gate did not work, so the entrance to the house was not possible. To phone! Furthermore, the code for the key box at the house was wrong. To phone! Also the code for the WLAN (WIFI) was wrong. To phone! The dishwasher is totally calcified and rinses very bad. A teapot could not hurt either. At the limit of the driveway you have to pay attention to protruding reinforcing bars. Spare tires advantageous! The kitchen is on the 1st floor with adjoining large, covered porch. If you want to eat in the garden, you have to carry all the things down. But all this can only slightly diminish the positive overall impression. The location is idyllic, the porch is huge and yet cozy. From here you also have a fantastic view of Corfu Town, including the airfield with the taking off and landing aircraft. Another highlight is the large and beautifully located pool. Corfu Town is quickly reached in a quarter of an hour. I can not recommend the 2nd Taverna on the spot (Kerkiras). The lamb chops were inedible, as was the house wine! A very good restaurant in Corfu is the 'Venetian Well' Here you can eat very well in a nice small and quiet place. Nice places (cafés) in Corfu are also at Falerati (NO) and Kanoni at the end of the runway. Then we discovered an idyllic vineyard called Ambelonas, where you can have a nice dinner. The house wine is a matter of taste, in any case, original and worth a tasting. Worth seeing are of course the Achilleion and the "Kaiserstuhl" on the west coast.
Simon K, DenmarkDate of stay: June 2018 Vi havde et supert ophold i huset - dejlige rum, skøn terrasse og pool. Og dejlig lukket have. Kommer vi til Corfu igen, kan det sagtens være, at vi vil leje dette hus igen:-)My Response Thank you so much for your kind words!! Tranlation: Villa Rossi is a superb house. Can only be recommended to others. We had a great stay in the house - lovely room, lovely terrace and pool. And nice closed garden. If we come to Corfu again, it may be that we will rent this house again :-)
Hubert R, GermanyDate of stay: June 2018 Great location, great garden, great outdoor seating. Great pool, even in May nice and warm. We would book again. A few suggestions: 1. the 4th bedroom has no air conditioning and the bed squeaks terribly. 2. the upper bathroom is not so nice (no pictures in the prospect) 3.The outer door opener is defect. sometimes 10 tries until the gate opens. maybe the code should be changed, the 4 numbers everyone can see because the buttons are worn out. 4. An additional cooking pot would be nice. 5. The WLAN Code does not work, Android connects per WPS without code. The two I phone`s we could not connect. It was no Problem because we got LTE there. For the cleaning team: With a ceranfeldscraper you get the stove clean. The dishwasher was totally calcified and did not clean properly. Google helped: we reprogrammed the dishwasher from salt level zero to level 7 (max). So now enough bitching, the holiday was beautiful. With best regards H. R.
Catherina O, Leeds, UKDate of stay: August 2017 We loved the Villa! Starting the day on the veranda, with its views of the hills and the coast was perfect. The pool and gardens were fabulous and our boys were happy to spend endless hours swimming or playing cards by the poolside. Being able to go out of the garden gate and be in one of the village tavernas in just a few minutes was great and we made the most of the home-grown vegetables and home-made taramasalata on offer. When we didn't eat in the village, it was less than 10 mins to drive to Benitses. The villa is a great base to see all the island and we enjoyed lots of day trips out and loved wandering the streets in the old part of Corfu Town. The villa is a traditional family home with plenty of space and good facilities - and our experience of booking through Jane and Chris is probably the most friendly and efficient service we've ever had. We've all struggled to get used to UK temperatures on our return home and definitely have half a mind still in Villa Rossi and Corfu! Our Response: Just wanted to thank you for the lovely review. Thank you so much for choosing Villa Rossi, it was our pleasure to be of service to you and very much look forward to seeing you again in Corfu in the future! With best wishes Jane & the Team
