Nicky R, Bristol, UKDate of stay: August 2015 We have just returned from our third visit to Villa Rossi. This villa never fails us. Its location and facilities are excellent. Its ideal for a relaxing family holiday with lovely beaches only 15 minutes away. The owners have very much thought of everything, and the pool and garden area is beautifully maintained. Also within 20 minutes is Corfu town and also Aqua land. This year, we explored Corfu town at greater length and discovered its full of hidden charm with a cosmopolitan feel. The village of Gastorui is extremely picturesque and friendly, with Achillion palace a short 10 minute walk away. We strongly recommend a hire car but found nearly all the places we visited were no more than 20 minutes away. To sum things up we thoroughly recommend Villa Rossi and look to return again one day.

Helen K, UKDate of stay: August 2015 Great villa...exactly as described...great pool, good beds, very clean, very private. We loved it. Jane from Owners Direct was a big help. Make sure you book a taxi Or that your hire car is at the airport, as getting a taxi can take ages. There is a great restaurant in the village, Stiros has the best Lamb in Cofru and Carol his wife makes the best home cooked food. Niko's bar is a proper local bar, he even got us fresh bread every day. The village is a two minute walk, straight out the side gate and turn right. If you've never been to Corfu before, then you've missed out. This was 12th time and we love it. Beautiful villa, beautiful Island, wonderful food and lovely people...what more could you want!

Sarah C, UKDate of stay: August 2015 We have just returned from a wonderful holiday, staying in Villa Rossi in Gastouri. After a couple of failed attempts, we eventually found the villa (I'd recommend downloading a GPS map on to your phone) and our first impressions were that it was exactly as described on the listing, perfectly clean, tidy, and very well maintained. Throughout the booking process, I found Jane, who manages the property extremely helpful, and she responded to my (numerous) questions very quickly. I contacted her upon arrival at the villa, using the phone in the villa and she answered immediately, providing us with directions to the local village, which was literally 2 mins walk away. The village has two restaurants, a mini market and a bakery all of which we made good use of. The Achillieon Palace is also within walking distance. The Villa is perfect for families; the pool is large, and the grounds are lovely. Be warned though, the road to the villa is extremely narrow and will challenge the most experienced driver. The villa is very private, with just one neighbouring house at the back lived in by a friendly local family who gave us some freshly laid chicken eggs! We did manage to venture out a couple of times, although would have been perfectly happy to stay by the pool all day (with the occasional break inside to cool down with the lovely air conditioning). We visited a beach once, the excellent Aqualand, and the old fortress in Corfu town. We ventured into Benitses a few times for dinner and can honestly say the the whole time we were there, not once did we have a bad meal. Eating out with four children all of whom are fussy eaters was always going to be a challenge, so thank goodness for Souvlaki - plain chicken kebab and chips in a pita bread. The kids thought they were in heaven! We tried lots of local wine, and the local corfiot beer which was lovely. All in, a fantastic holiday, and a great Villa. Couldn't have asked for more.

Tony C, UKDate of stay: July 2015 For the last four years we have been very fortunate that our group (two early twenties adults with respective boy / girl friends; a teenager and the ubiquitous older parents!!) have managed to yearly enjoy Villa holidays together. All have been superb but this year Villa Rossi outshone all of them. Why? Firstly; Jane who manages the Villa would score a 5 star review in her own right for her friendly, knowledgeable and helpful approach before, during and after the holiday……………..not sure anyone else could have possibly found a table tennis table for us to rent on Corfu Island!! The whole booking process was a pleasure and their car hire “meet and greet” package is invaluable. I asked each of the group for one or a few words to describe the villa and received epic, stunning, perfect, superbly clean, wow, well-furnished and awesome veranda. The gardens and pool elicited similar expressions which is not surprising as it is a brilliant sized pool surrounded by more than enough garden space to play all sorts of games in. The village centre is 2 / 3 minute walk (exit right via garden side personnel gate, through pink arch and right down the slope………left and up the slope takes you to the Grill Room restaurant and the Achilleion Palace) and its tavernas, mini markets, bakery and shops. All very helpful, pleasant and with very reasonable pricing. Our vote for outstanding taverna went to the “to pouli tsi kotas” Bistrot run by the multi lingual Spiros and Carole and located just to the left of the steps down into the village…….a must visit for all to enjoy exquisite local produce and wine. Within 20 / 30 minute drive of Villa Rossi you have as many restaurants, shops, supermarkets, beaches, views, places to sightsee, water sports, water-park, marinas etc. as any one person or family could possible want on a holiday. In summary, Villa Rossi is managed by the perfect Jane, sits in exquisite gardens which also host a wonderful pool, is furnished beautifully, strolling distance to a pretty village with a great taverna and provides easy access to all holiday amenities. In “one word” Villa Rossi is OUTSTANDING!My Response WOW!! I am bowled over by your amazing review, I would really like to frame it and hang it on my office wall and when I have a bad day I can read it and this will make me happy!! Seriously though, thank you so much for finding the time to post such a great review and to read that you all had such a wonderful holiday means such a lot to both myself, our staff and more importantly Dr & Mrs Alamanos the owners who call me every week from Athens.

Janet R, UKDate of stay: June 2015 Our first visit to Corfu and so pleased that we found this lovely villa to stay in. The village of Gastouri is a sleepy village with a couple of tavernas and bars. The local people are so friendly and were very welcoming. We found the booking system and car hire very straight forward as were the directions to the accommodation and the accurate description. Others mentioned the driveway which i must admit was quite steep but not a problem. The villa was well presented and comfortable .The highlight was the superb pool which we certainly put to use. Proton supermarket is a 5 minute drive for your essentials and was well stocked. We ate out several times at Lefteris grill room taverna, five minutes walk next to the palace and superb food and prices. We did venture out to other areas and were never disappointed, lovely beach at Agios Georgios and Agios Gordis, Corfu town is well worth a trip and we did this by local bus for a change, I would recommend the villa to those looking for a peaceful location, spacious property with great gardens and pool.

Andrea D, UKDate of stay: May 2015 Villa Rossi is located in Gastouri village within walking distance of the Achillion palace and only a 10-15 min drive from Corfu town and Benitses. The village has a small bakery and a couple of cafes/ restaurants though very sleepy in late May when we visited. It has a central location within the Island so made a good base from which to explore. The Villa is well furnished in classic style and has plenty of crockery and kitchen utensils though you do need a degree to work the oven! There is a fantastic covered balcony off the first floor which overlooks the pool with cracking views toward Corfu town and the local hills. Because it is covered it only receives the sun for a short while in the evening which would be fine in June/ July etc. but was a little Chilly in May. However there is another eating area in the garden and lots of sun loungers around the pool. Our two boys loved the pool and although it was May it wasn't too chilly. We visited Glyfada beach whilst we were there which was beautiful and not spoiled by tourism. Overall our family spanning three generations had a fab time. Thanks to Jane from Prestige Villas who helped with the booking and any queries we had.
