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.

Martino, UKDate of stay: September 2014 Having just returned from a super holiday in Corfu, we felt we should add to what is already a list of shining reviews for this villa. Originally booked it early in the year and found Jane to be extremely helpful with her prompt replies and information regarding the house and area. She organised the hire car which we were very pleased with. A brand new Peugeot 301. The Meet & Greet service was fast and efficient and we were out of the airport and on our way within minutes. The directions were very good and we found the villa very easily. The lane to the villa is narrow though and the drive way rather a challenge, it was difficult to navigate on our arrival but we soon got used to it. Don't let this put you off though, the house, pool and gardens are absolutely stunning. The house itself has the feel of a lovely family home and not the usual basic villa you would get out of a brochure. It's located in a really quaint area of the village and the gardens and huge pool are very private. The gardens are stunning, with lawns and trees for privacy and shade, all immaculately kept. Having not heard of the area we were a little dubious as to whether we would have to use the car each night to find places to eat. However, we found a short cut from the villa through the pretty village footpaths to the high street and we enjoyed some wonderful evenings at the local taverna's on the high street, a bonus especially as we were able to walk home. This is a holiday off the beaten track, without Tourists and the prices reflect it. The locals are really friendly and the food is delicious. For a livelier evening we would recommend Benitses which 30 years ago was a disco resort. Not now, it's full of lovely family tavernas and plenty of places to sit and watch the world go by, it really has a lovely atmosphere. Corfu Town is an absolute must see town. One of the most picturesque towns we have visited. You feel like you are in Venice without the canals!! So to sum this holiday up, an excellent efficient booking procedure, a superb car and a stunning villa in a beautiful setting, probably one of the best holidays we have ever had as a family. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Crowther & Park Families, UKDate of stay: September 2014 A few negatives to start with, we found access to the villa a challenge even in the small Nissan Micras we had hired. The villa is clean and very well equipped although we did have to request pool towels (immediately provided), a teapot would be nice as well as instructions in English for the oven. We also got bitten to death by mosquitos so be prepared. However none of the above can spoil the fact that this is a beautiful villa with a fabulous large pool in a wonderfully peaceful location. The gardens are well looked after and the large shaded veranda is ideal for relaxing, eating or just enjoying the views. Benitses is approximately 10 minutes drive and has a nice harbour with a number of bars and restaurants. We tried Alex & Tony's Taverna and La Pergola(Italian) and both were very good and reasonably priced. The Achilleion Palace is worth a visit and is within walking distance of the villa. Corfu Town is very nice with cobbled streets with plenty of nice shops, restaurants etc. Acqualand was also enjoyed by the younger members of our party. We really enjoyed our holiday in Corfu and would love to return.

Anonymous, UKDate of stay: June 2014 WHAT A FIND! We were really impressed with the Villa which was kitted out superbly for a relaxing family holiday (six of us -ages seven to 75) Lots of space for eating, chilling etc. Good quality sun loungers, fabulous pool & parasols (although a couple may need to be replaced very soon!) A well equipped kitchen with everything you need for indoor and outdoor dining is there, although a small card with basic oven instructions (the manual is in Greek!) would be helpful, however, we did get there in the end! Also I would stock up on Mosquito spray etc as they were very active in the evening on the (very comfortable and spacious) veranda during our stay! The sharp/awkward turn into the Villa was a bit hard going at first with our seven seater Diablo plus six people plus luggage, however, after a few trips out (obviously without the luggage) we mastered it! The grounds are beautiful, full of lovely herbs and flowers, also lemon/orange trees. Dragonflies, butterflies and birds are abundant - also it's worth sitting by the pool at dusk to watch the bats! We did of course experience the usual - and to be expected for a Greek island- water stoppages and for some reason our water tank ran out, however, a quick call to the very patient and efficient Jane, soon sorted this out. OUT & ABOUT The Achilleion is really not to be missed! Our seven and nine year olds as well as all the adults were totally enthralled with the history,decor,rooms and terraces - I'm not even going to attempt to describe it - you have to see it for yourself! Also the little cafe next to it has amazing views, even though it is probably in a little bit of a 'tourist trap' the owners were lovely! BENITSES approx 15 mins away - on first glance it looked a tad run down, apparently it was once an 18-30 venue! When we visited we found the waterfront, boats and old town to be very pretty. Do visit Alex & Tony's Taverna -lovely people - lovely food! We did visit some other places as recommended in the house 'black book' but found that it was a tad out of date and were quite disappointed, so if you want to explore, just get a map before you go and research! THE PEOPLE -Oh, just lovely! - very warm & very welcoming - we had a lot of exchanges where we were keen to learn Greek phrases and the locals wanted to learn the English equivalent - just brilliant! Do visit Corfu, help boost their fragile economy - you will be glad you did! And a perfect base would be Villa Rossi.

Robert B, UKDate of stay: May 2014 As three generations, we appreciated the spaciousness of both the internal space and garden area. There were so many places to sit and eat and we took advantage of them all! The outside sitting verandah is huge with views in all directions. The swimming pool and grounds are also an excellent size. Everything is very well maintained and the kitchen facilities are good. Jane who manages the property is outstanding and is able to deal with any queries immediately. She couldn't have been more helpful. Sometimes the mains water on Corfu is off for a day or two so we appreciated the owners foresight in having installed a water tank which easily catered for our needs when it happened to us! We booked our hire cars through Jane and were met at the airport - very hassle free. A hire car is a must as there was nothing open in the village when we were there. The access to the property from the main road is slightly challenging but the effort is worthwhile for the location with its views in an authentic Corfiot village. Angela next door gave us eggs as soon as we arrived. You can walk to one of the main tourist sights on Corfu - the Empress Sisi's Palace. All in all an excellent holiday for all of us - we hope to return one day.
