Incredible, Villa is like a castle the brick is beautiful. Big range of facilities such as bbq area , bar area by the pool with darts, pool itself of-course is a good size . Many loungers and places to sit in the sun including hammocks. The kitchen is fully equipped even with juicers, coffee machine etc. extra things you don’t usually have. Living room had many games and cosy to chill in. Three kitties were the nicest cats I’ve ever met so friendly and doing good work of keeping away snakes since it is in the wilderness. Family are amazing, the son Kostas took us younger guys beach hopping, finishing with cliff jumping at Canal Damour. I’ll never forget that. Taking a large car or van is not recommended as the roads are steep and windy, had to swap the family van for two smaller cars, these had no problem. The Villa felt very safe, good security, there are cameras on the outside and all the doors had security gates a swell as decent mosquito nets not a single one got inside. The air con is very good and is situated throughout the villa you can control each rooms air con with a remote. Another little gem is that the villa had fruit and veg which you can harvest. Which fruit you have will depend what time of year you go, we were lucky to have Tomatoes, peppers, chilli, eggplant, melon but there were also banana and olive trees. Views of the hills and small nearby towns is almost panoramic and it’s incredibly peaceful. You definitely need a car for Corfu as public transport is practically non existent, and if you live up in hills it will take you a good 30minutes to get to supermarkets. Plus you want to experience the beautiful beaches so you need to drive or boat to them. This villa is perfect for families I really enjoyed it. So many nice touches and amazing hosts, Thank you.

Perfect place for getting away from it all. The owner is so helpful and the villa is immaculate and very well stocked with everything we could wish to need. Love the property - children haven't got out of the pool yet. Ideal temperature. Everything is wonderful!
