A little bit of paradise....

I enjoyed a short break to Villa Oleander in June and can't wait to return. As soon as you walk through the gates you feel instantly relaxed - the pool area is absolutely gorgeous and everything is to hand such as the comfortable sun loungers which you can easily fall asleep all day on!, the brick BBQ which the owners had built themselves and the outdoor dining area where you can enjoy evening drinks and dinner whilst watching the sun set in the hills. The Villa itself is equally as impressive, it's modern and airy and furnished to high standards. The owners have thought of everything and there is even a great selection of books and DVDs to keep you entertained should you want a break from eating and drinking! The Villa is also situated in a very peaceful area and the sound of the birds and the neighbouring sheep are a delight to wake up to! It's also in easy reach of Corfu Town, some great beaches and my fave place, Paleokastritsa (forgive the spelling if incorrect!) although to be honest I found it a challenge to leave the blissful surroundings of Villa Oleander and could have quite happily stayed wthin the confines of the Villa all holiday! What enhances your stay further is the welcome you get from the owners - Shay & Stephen - they are extremely helpful and informative but are also non-intrusive. This Villa would suit anyone - whether you are a lone traveller, a couple of any age or a family. I, for one, can't wait to return!

Total relaxation on a beautiful island

I had a week of total relaxation at this lovely villa in June 2009.. The villa is so nice that after a morning visting one of the pretty local villages or lounging on a nearby beach I was quite looking forward to getting back to the villa. My total relaxation involved lounging ( again ) around the pool with a glass of the local rose wine followed by a bar-b-que. Nearby supermarkets are reasonably priced selling all the greek favourites & everyday essentials. The villa has everything you could need for a stress free holiday. A well equiped kitchen not the usual holiday apartment kitchen but what you will be used to back home. The bedrooms are comfortable,cool & as like the rest of the villa spotlessly clean. I have visited Corfu many times but every time I return I love it even more. I didn't venture out much on this holiday, only locally, but the rest of the island is in easy reach from the villa. I will be returning to this villa as soon as my holiday plans allow me.

Relaxing

To start with Shay and Stephen are very good on all details before travelling, down to, not just written instructions but also in pictures, and sent us all info on villa, so all prepared. Stephen met us on arrival and very easy to get key. Villa clean and very well equipped, comfy bed. Pool area good with comfy cushions for loungers. Very private. Def need a car, village only 10 mins walk but there a tiny shop and nothing else, we hired a car from value plus car rentals, they were very good. Only thing that we did not like were dogs in the distance barking, and in the night, but that not shay and stephens fault. Would def recommend this villa.

Lovely villa, peaceful and secluded

A lovely two weeks spent at Villa Oleander. The location is very peaceful and off the beaten track and a perfect central location for exploring the island. As mentioned in the villa information a car is a definitely a necessity. The villa was clean, tidy and well equipped and maintained discreetly throughout our stay. Stephen and Shay were the perfect hosts, they completely respected our privacy but were always available if we needed them or had any questions. Before our arrival Shay was very responsive to emails and the information they provided was very extensive and extremely beneficial to our stay. We would definitely recommend hiring a boat to explore the coastline. Spiros boat hire in Barbati was a great recommendation in the villa information guide. We would not hesitate to book this villa again so if you’re considering a booking you will not be disappointed. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Fantastic villa and pool, perfect area to see Corfu!

Firstly the hosts Shay and Stephen have done a wonderful job here, the instructions on directions and within the villa were easy to follow. They greeted us on arrival and were so welcoming! The villa has everything you can ask for including ALL kitchen utensils which is my bug bear! The villa was spotless as was the pool and patio area. As its south facing the pool was so warm and inviting and I agree with previous reviews, the photos don't do this beautiful villa justice! Perfect location to travel around especially to the west and south coast, Pelekas was lovely with some fabulous restaurants and great beach which we didn't visit until later in our week silly billy! We will know better next time - we never go to the same place twice but we are already looking at dates for next year...our children are already looking forward to it! Thank you Shay and Stephen for a wonderful and relaxing holiday xx

About the host

Hosted by Shay

Shay: I used to work for a Travel company in Corfu in 1987 & 88. I then work on various Greek islands, Madeira, Turkey, Portugal, Mexico and the USA. I was lucky enough to travel the world with my job being based overseas, live in quite a few different countries and experience their culture. I also worked as Cabin Crew doing a mixture of long and short haul flying. I worked for British Airways on their worldwide fleet. Again I was lucky enough to travel the world and stay in some fascinating countries and fabulous hotels. I learnt a lot working in the travel industry and have implemented all the important aspects and attention to details into the comfort and making of the villa. Although I have extensive travel experiences and visit many countries and continents, my heart always remained in Corfu!
