About this property
Three-bedroom Villa Certosa is a Corfu gem. The stylish, white-washed villa is in a peaceful spot near the sleepy fishing village of Pentati, on the west coast of the island. Built into the hillside, it flaunts dramatic sea views and is the perfect place to watch a dreamy sunset. Elegance and modern are the buzzwords at the villa. Think sleek lines, soothing natural colours and luxury facilities. Perhaps the star feature is the infinity pool which looks as if it's spilling directly into the sea. From this serene spot, you're well placed to explore this fantastic part of Corfu.
From this villa, you're only a short walk from local tavernas and shops, as well as the nearest beach which is rocky but suitable for swimming and snorkelling due to its glass-clear waters. Look out for mezes and locally-caught seafood in the tavernas. When you're not exploring the beautiful cobbled streets in the village, or trying the local cuisine, you can relax on one of the cushioned sun loungers lining your pool; find your perfect reading spot under shade, or enjoy your meals on the alfresco dining table.
Inside, there's a living area with a large sofa, comfortable armchairs and a television. For those relaxed family evenings in, the smart television allows you to access the most popular platforms for movie rentals. There's also an indoor dining table and a fully-equipped kitchen. Plus, chefs are available on request for breakfast, lunches and dinners – fancy. Continuing the decadence, the three bedrooms each have en-suite bathrooms and king-size beds that have memory foam mattresses and pillows to help you get your perfect night's rest. Each room also has plenty of wardrobe space for organising your holiday belongings and smart televisions. Bathrooms are spacious and modern, and have double sinks and large walk-in showers.
Villa Certosa in the sleepy fishing village of Pentati in the western part of Corfu, and is about 4km south оf Agiοs Gordiоs. The town is quiet and hasn’t given way to mass tourism yet so that you can expect a peaceful atmosphere. There are a couple of local tavernas and cafes, as well as a beach. Plus, there are the old villages of Anо Раvliana and Katо Ρavliаna and nearby for you to explore. Whilst you can walk to these things we'd recommend a car to really enjoy the area.
In the resort village of Agios Gordios, there’s a famous Blue Flag Beach that’s perfect for sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling. The beach is nestled among the mountains and surrounded by olive tree forests, vineyards and impressive rocks. To reach it, you need to drive through a beautiful road full of vineyards and olive trees. There are a couple of restaurants and cafes nearby, and plenty of opportunities to take part in watersports like sea kayaking and jet skiing. There are also plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes in the village, and the pastel-coloured houses are worth exploring.
Beyond Pentati, about 3km away, is the authentic village of Sinarades. There you’ll find a Folklore Museum with an old housed, furnished as it would have been in the 19th century. There’s also a fantastic walking trail near here – the Corfu Trail – which follows tracks and cobbled paths and goes from taverna to taverna, through the rural countryside and around the coastline.
The centre of Corfu is about a 30-minute drive from Pentati. In Corfu Old Town, you can explore the Venetian-style neoclassical architecture. Walk along the cobbled streets between the high houses, buy traditional products or visit the hidden gardens. To the west, there’s a Fortress with fantastic views over the harbour. Corfu is also known for its friendly tavernas serving everything from Moussaka to Souvlaki. Sample imported beer, get your fill of pastries and delicious fresh pies at one of the bougainvillaea-draped bakeries or head to one of the sun-soaked beaches.

This is a grand design, built thoughtfully to encompass the seamless view of open skies, sunsets and wide expanse of sea. The villa is all white with white furnishings, a hint of grey and wood adds to the visual delight. The infinity pool, glass panels, large outdoor white paved spaces, white beds, lighting, and TV are all to a very high standard. WiFi is just adequate for streaming. We connected a laptop to the TV for iPlayer, Netflix, etc. The location is remote, secluded, and accessed by some rough roads, so a car is a necessity. There aren’t many good quality local restaurants but we were happy to use the lovely kitchen and eat at the villa, enjoying the ambiance, views and sunsets. All kitchen appliances were new and easy to use. Pots, pans, cutlery and china were good quality and plentiful. A Nespresso machine & milk frother added to our comfort. The beds and pillows are Tempur which are quite firm. There are two wardrobes in each room with lots hangers but long dresses need to go elsewhere as will crease. The swimming pool is beautiful but very cold at this time of year! Nina, the brilliant housekeeper comes every day to change sheets and towels as necessary, and remove garbage. The washing machine, ironing board and iron are locked away inside an upstairs room at the owner’s request. On the way from the airport we recommend stopping at the airport Lidl supermarket and stocking up on all the food you will need. There is a good fridge freezer in the kitchen. The local supermarkets are pretty basic and sell very few items of fresh fruit and vegetables. Wasps and mosquitoes at this time of year are troublesome so bring sprays. Nina left orange juice, milk, bread, biscuits, cola, loads water, walnuts to crack, sparkling and wine, and a few coffee pods. All lovely touches but not enough to make your breakfast if you arrive on a late flight. Bring Nespresso capsules and tea bags. We liked Corfu town a lot and there was plenty to see; shops were nice, but parking is difficult until the afternoon. We do hope our review helps your holiday in this amazing villa and splendid location. Many many thanks for a great stay. Wish we could have stayed longer and look forward to coming back if you'll have us! . Nina was great! And your team's help well appreciated. Thank you.”

During our vacation we felt at home. Very kind service staff, clean and comfortable villa! Large outdoor spaces, large pool with a breathtaking sea view !! The most beautiful beaches of the island are just a few minutes away by car and for those who enjoy walking, there are paths that start right outside the gate of the villa. A really lovely place !!
