Corfu cottages

The location of Garden Cottage Ivy is just perfect for beach, restaurants and bars. There is a supermarket just up the road as is the village. The apartment is very well equipped with both washing machine and dishwasher. Also full size oven and two ring hob for cooking and full size fridge freezer. There is one bedroom with very comfortable bed with plenty of storage space, plus two bed settees in the living room. The outside veranda is great for both relaxing and eating And just chilling and admiring the view of the mountains. This is a great place to relax and unwind and take each day as it comes, could not recommend it more.

A clean, pretty and compact cottage but all you need is in it and a great space outside for eating. Such a lovely area with two fantastic walks from the bay in both directions and plenty more sights in easy distance. Highly recommend!

Can thoroughly recommend this apartment. Everything inside is finished to a very high standard and it has an amazing outlook onto Kalami bay. The owner, Jehanne, was very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble, with thoughtful touches such as a welcome pack which was very well received. Would definitely stay here again.

This villa is in a great location, overlooking the lovely Kalami bay. We drove around north Corfu a bit during our stay and we really couldn't find anywhere as charming as this area. The villa is part of a larger complex (5-6 villas in total?). The complex has a very large pool and a large patio area, with fabulous views out to sea (we saw dolphins crossing the bay one night, fabulous). The complex is within easy walking distance of Kalami beach, local shops and restaurants (10 minutes walk max). The beach is great. Its not sandy, but its still easy to get into the sea, and the water is crystal clear so great for snorkelling. It also seemed to be more sheltered than other beaches on the island, and was stayed calm even when some other beaches on the island were a bit rough. There are other lovely swimming bays and great restaurants nearby (north and south) if you don't mind a short walk. The complex gets sun into relatively late into the evening, even though it's on the east side of the island. The host is very helpful... Jehanne responded immediately to all our questions/issues. The villa has 2 large balconies, overlooking the swimming pool and Kalami bay. Good showers. The bed mattresses were a bit too soft for my liking but still ok. The wi-fi was unreliable at times, but this seemed to be down to general internet issue on the island, rather than specific problems with the villa setup. Finally, suggest that the villa instructions are clearer on where to put the rubbish - needs to go in one of the public bins on the main road above the complex.

The house is a good size for a family with a double bedroom and another with twin beds. There is more space if needed. There is a small patio at the back with seats and a drying rack, overlooking a deep green valley. There is air conditioning, wifi, and a large kitchen and living area. Also there is a parking space. We loved it because it was very Greek and in a friendly village with some shops and bars and plenty of locals to say hello to. Also it is near some lovely beaches, just 10 mins drive from Agios Gordios and other beaches. Also our hosts were super helpful, responding to all requests promptly, and leaving very useful hints of places to go.

We had an amazing stay at Castelli Cottage. It's even more beautiful than the photos. It's in a good location to explore the island. A special thanks to Stephen and Maggie who keep the cottage pristine. A special thanks to Stephen and Maggie who keep the villa

From the initial enquiry, through the build up, arrival, stay and departure, Jane makes everything so easy and a real pleasure. Jane and Malcolm strike the perfect balance between provision of the support and guidance that you need as a new visitor to the area; and the freedom and space you desire to enjoy the wonderful villa, gardens and surroundings. The villa oozes Corfiot charm, with everything you need for a comfortable break. The AC in both lounge and bedroom were a god send at times, as were the shutters, blinds and fly screens. The gardens are wonderful, aromatic and full of wildlife. With so many areas to choose from, we preferred to relax on the top terrace with a choice of sun or shade, wonderful views over the sea and no mosquitoes. :-) Paleokastritsa is a lovely village with so much to offer. We were surprised just how many tavernas and swimming spots there were to choose from. Jane's recommendations were spot on throughout the fortnight we were staying. Our highlights were Nikos, Spiros & Gran Aladino. If you have a car, or fancy a walk up the donkey path towards Lakones, Il Pozzo has amazing food, backed up by stunning views down to Paleokastritsa and the sea. Jane delivered everything that she promised Villa Stephanie would offer and a whole lot more. We have returned to the UK so relaxed and wouldn't hesitate to visit Jane again if we decide we need to unwind.

Beautiful property very clean and lovely staff really well positioned for the NE, a car needed for the less fit and able but otherwise perfect
