About this property

Villa Loukia 5* - ISOLATED LOCATION but still Walking Distance Kassiopi

Villa Loukia is a family home that has been successfully rented for 16 years and is loved by all who visit (see the 90+ 5* reviews). Villa Loukia underwent major refurbishment between 2015-20. The whole villa was re-tiled, luxury bathrooms created and the kitchen was re-modelled with all new appliances.
The master bedroom was extended to create a 'master suite' with a sofa bed at one end for those with young children. There is also ample room for a travel cot too. The new, luxurious bathroom has a bath and separate shower. It has great lighting, courtesy night lights, extraction fan, heated mirror and a shaving mirror.

The 'Blue' Bedroom and bathroom was remodeled so that the twin beds (can be made up as a double) are opposite the amazing view, the floor is the same gorgeous tiles as the master, the bathroom is larger than it used to be and really luxurious with a wet-room style shower, loads of modern lighting, automatic night lights, heated mirror and magnified shaving mirror. All the details you could ever need.

Downstairs is the Orange Bedroom and bathroom was upgraded to the same standard as the other two bedrooms/bathrooms. It has the advantage of having french windows that lead out onto the terrace and pool.

The whole of the living area has also been re-tiled to match the rest of the property and extended with a fantastic 'picture' window that takes in the view across Avlaki to Albania beyond. This gives a wonderful indoor dining area for low season.

We are really pleased with the results of the all the work we have done an guests seem just as pleased!

Villa Loukia is located in a stunning position, nestled into the quiet olive covered hillside above Kassiopi in the hamlet of Kelia. The views from the villa across the bay of Avalaki and to Albania beyond are truly stunning. The property was new for 2008, when my husband and I bought it. We are English family with many years experience of holidaying in Corfu. Attention has therefore been paid to equipping the villa with all the necessary equipment for a relaxing and happy holiday whilst making sure it remains comfortable and practical for both couples and families alike. Villa Loukia is also equipped with items such as hairdryers and beach towels in order to reduce the need for too much expensive baggage on the flight over. Also for guest convenience every room has a 3 pin English socket as well as the standard 2-pin and USB sockets. No need to bring adapters.

The location is quiet and private - away from other properties - however unlike many villas in NE Corfu, the situation above Kassiopi means that it is possible to walk (1 km - 10-15 mins) to shops/restaurants in the evening, leaving the car at home. The nearest supermarket is just 5 mins walk or 2 mins in the car. The famous village of Kalami and the lovely secluded coves of that area is just a 10-15 mins drive. The pool is large (5m x 10m) and in 2015 we added optional heating which has been loved by guests using the villa in low season.

We do have external security cameras but all are set away from guest areas. They are set on the drive, front entrance and rear of the villa. There are no internal cameras. The cameras are purely for the security of the villa.

In 2018 we set a goal to make Villa Loukia carbon neutral and we are committed to reducing climate change. Carbon offsetting is used to balance out our emissions by helping to pay for emission savings in other parts of the world.

We pledge to offset each year the carbon connected to the use of Villa Loukia as a holiday rental. This includes electricity, car usage by guests and staff, laundry and ALL guest flights. We produce much of our own electricity with the Photovoltaic Panel System (about 60% depending on the weather) on the roof and the Solar Water System. We offset with a donation to carbonfootprint.com and their Community Projects Portfolio in Developing Countries.

The pledge we make is personal and on behalf of our Grandchildren, so that they and their descendants can have a future that equals the life that we have had. It does not come at any financial cost to our guests.

High end villa in a beautiful hillside location
Everything about Villa Loukia is 5 star. The attention to detail makes for a stress free stay. Every bedroom has its own up to date ensuite and the kitchen is fully equipped with an American style fridge freezer with ice. The table tennis was constantly used and it was nice to be able to choose to have the swimming pool heated as we stayed early in the season. A car is necessary for trips to the supermarket and visits to nearby beaches although everything is only a short drive away. This was our second wonderful stay and we hope to visit again in the near future. It is so lovely to get off the plane and know you will have a stress free stay especially travelling with a young baby. The owner could not have been more helpful.

September visit to Villa Loukia
Extremely comfortable and well equipped property. Wonderful private outdoor space with plenty of seating areas, a large pool and glorious views. The needs of visitors were very well catered for such as plenty of beach and pool towels, outdoor fridge, music and barbecue area. Communication with the owner was excellent - very friendly and responsive. This was our first visit to Kassiopi which we found to be a lovely resort with enough to do without being overpowering. The Villa is around 15 minutes walk in a private location on a hillside but this was fine for our party. We would highly recommend this beautiful property.

Superb villa with an amazing view
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Loukia. The villa has everything you need and is within walking distance to the pretty harbour, which has so many good bars and restaurants you are really spoilt for choice. Lucy is a wonderful host and was very helpful in arranging our taxi transfer from the airport and sourcing motorbike hire, which sadly we didn’t use, as we were so chilled just relaxing round the pool. Would love to go back so we can explore more of the island.

Holiday bliss at Villa Loukia
Villa Loukia is a great property, immaculately clean, well equipped (even had glasses in the freezer!). All of the rooms are ensuite (which we hadn't realised!) and there's lots of space for all the family - including a separate level with a table tennis table, plus several outside seating areas to choose from... Our favourite was evening drinks on the balcony - great views, comfortable furniture and much welcomed shade after a full day in the sun! Great communication from Lucy - and lots of info on things to do and places to visit in the area which was really helpful! We enjoyed reading the back-story to the villa too! It's a bit of a walk up the hill (esp. in the heat) and reminder to take your mosquito spray! We had a great holiday - we hope to visit again and would definitely recommend Villa Loukia to others!

Week over Greek Easter
Imagine a lovely fishing village, a gentle hill offering breathtaking views just behind, and a stylish, spacious house, perfectly positioned with a pool and verandas to take it all in - yet a short stroll to everything you need. Well, you have Loukia. We loved this house. Situation: check. Facilities: check. Style and comfort: check. Location: check. And as for the view out the huge box window. A photo home prompted the question, ‘will you be issuing orders to kill James Bond?’ A perfect base, whether you want to chill, stay local or explore. Wonderfully helpful and responsive owner too. Recommended.

Villa Loukia
We have recently returned from a wonderful stay at Villa Loukia with our two children. The villa itself is beautiful, and it was clear from the moment we arrived that Lucy has applied a great deal of thought to the accommodation throughout the property. The bathrooms are high-end, the kitchen is very well equipped, there’s a good TV package and even a separate wi-fi available for the outdoors area. The pool was a big hit with everyone, as was the table tennis, and we all loved the BBQ area after dusk to share our evenings together. There were also lots of lovely corners outdoors, both upstairs and on the main terrace, to read a book or share a glass of wine together. The villa is just above Kassiopi, so the views are absolutely stunning. This was our second visit to Villa Loukia. Last year we also came with two teens and they were able to stroll into the town centre quite easily and have some independence, which was a big tick for us! Throughout the booking process and during our stay, Lucy has been superb to deal with. Thank you for having us and we all hope to return again for another stay at Villa Loukia

Wonderful Stay August 2021
We have just returned from a wonderful stay in Villa Loukia in August 2021. As a party of 6 - 2 adults and 4 teenagers (14-19), we all agreed that this was one of the best holidays ever. In the lead up to the holiday, Lucy couldn’t have been more helpful, happy to provide recommendations and advice over the phone and by email. When we did arrive, the villa lived up to all expectations. Lucy’s attention to detail was evident throughout, for example in all the different sitting and dining areas. That’s before mentioning the fantastic (large) pool, great bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and amazing views! Kassiopi itself was as lovely as ever - just on the right side of lively for us - and is definitely walkable. We walked both ways every day (often more than once) and while it will certainly keep you fit, it became part of our daily routine. Even the kids didn’t moan! I couldn’t recommend Villa Loukia highly enough and we will definitely be looking to return as soon as we can

Perfect Villa for Staying in Kassiopi
The Villa Loukia is situated on the outskirts of Kassiopi. It is in a lovely quiet setting but there is only a 10-15min walk into town. The Villa was lovely and clean and the decor was to a high standard. We spent a lot of time in the pool or just chilling and admiring the lovely views from the villa. We were a party of 6 adults of mixed ages and we all highly rated the villa. Would highly recommend for a relaxing holiday in Kassiopi.

Paradise at Villa Loukia!
Nestled amongst picturesque olive groves sits the beautiful Villa Loukia. Wherever you wander in the Villa you have the most wonderful views over the bay of Kassiopi and across to the mountains of Albania - watching the sun rise and sun set was quite cinematic as was the star filled sky! The owners Lucy and Nick have created a spectacular home which is both modern and rustic - beautiful en-suite bedrooms, well appointed kitchen, lounge area with amazing picture window, super efficient air conditioning and a variety of outside sitting areas to unwind. The swimming pool could not be better and we spent many a day cooling down here! Nikos supermarket is just 10 minutes walk down the hill and they will kindly deliver your goods to the Villa, a great bonus! Kassiopi, a 15 minute walk, has a wide variety of restaurants - our favourites included Petrino ( friendly staff ) and Trilogia ( fine dining ) both having great views. TOP TIP for an exciting day out is to hire a boat from Filippos down in the bay and enjoy swimming in the various bays - we pulled up at Agni Bay and had an excellent lunch at Taverna Agni - a most memorable day for us all. My wife and I along with our daughter, son and son-in-law, had such a wonderful week at Villa Loukia , we only wish it could have been longer! 5 stars all the way! Finally, I must thank Lucy for her excellent communication, understanding and advice at all points during such uncharted times. Previous reviews have praised how Covid conscious owner Lucy is and I can fully endorse these comments - all measures have been put in place for us all to stay safe and enjoy our time at Villa Loukia.

Fantastic Villa
This is an absolutely fabulous villa. We stayed with 4 teenagers and Kassiopi is perfect to leave them safely in town after dinner. Mostly they walked back but taxis were available. The villa is very well equipped with everything you need and then a bit more. All of very high quality. Having stayed in many Homeaway villas I would say this is the best. The owner is very COVID conscious and safe - for example the dvd library was not in use ( but you didn’t need it as there are so many films available on the tv) and there is also extra cleaning etc. The shops were also COVID aware. I would highly recommend a visit even in this pandemic. Finally the view from the upstairs balcony is unbelievable and has to be experienced.

A very special place
A family of 6 stayed in the villa. It has been the most beautiful place we’ve stayed. Every detail is of high spec, the size of the villa means everyone can find a quiet space. We loved the new table tennis table and the pool was warm enough for even me, and fussy. The location is very peaceful, up in the hills, surrounded by greenery with views of the sea and the mountains of Albania. We loved watching the sun rise from our balcony and hearing the bells on goats. It’s a great location to access beautiful beaches and the sea. We needed a car as some of our family would struggle with the steep walk back to the villa from the local village. It’s impossible not to fall in love with this place.

Beautiful place to stay
From the moment we walked through the door, it was obvious this was the best villa we had ever stayed at. There were so many lovely touches, the view was amazing, the pool was delightful, the beds were so comfy, in fact, it was so good we are going to try and go back next year. Easy to find the villa, close to amenities, but so quiet you wouldn't know Kassiopi was less than a mile away.

Absolute paradise!
Our second visit to Villa Loukia and we enjoyed it even more than last time. The villa is luxurious and comfortable and surrounded by olive groves above Kassiopi. The views are stunning. It is so peaceful and lovely to hear the tinkling of the goat bells all around us. We all loved the large swimming pool and all the various seating areas outside. We didn’t cook (far too many good restaurants in town) but the kitchen is very well equipped and the indoor dining area is beautiful. We did take it in turns for an early morning stroll down to the bakery to collect breakfast though! Lucy (the owner) is very friendly and helpful and a great source of local knowledge. Kassiopi has everything. Shops, bars and great restaurants. A marina. Boat hire - highly recommended. It’s a friendly safe place to stay but with great nightlife (Kostas bar was our fav). We were 6 adults and the villa is so spacious we often “lost” one another! We were grateful for the aircon and overhead fans though the villa seems naturally cool and airy. To summarise, none of us wanted to leave and we are already planning our next visit!

I cannot think of enough superlatives to describe this villa! Beautiful inside and out, incredible views, spacious, extremely well equipped, comfy beds, well maintained pool and gardens, spotlessly clean, every extra you could think of, from phone charging sockets, Sky TV, table tennis to large and fluffy pool towels, lilos and outside drinks fridge! We loved the fact that it is Eco-friendly with solar panels, and separate recycling, and working towards being completely carbon neutral. The owner Lucy is incredibly helpful, from the initial enquiry, through the whole booking process, and was always speedy in replying to any queries we had. I would heartedly recommend this villa.

The villa itself has a five star feel to it, the pool and views are fantastic and it is also very private set in a lovely garden and olive grove.

A fabulous high quality property. Luxurious and tranquil.
This Villa is built and decorated to an extremely high standard. So much thought and attention to detail has gone into this, to make it a really special, luxurious but homely property. It has everything you could possibly need to make your stay as easy and convenient as possible. If you are self catering the kitchen is extremely well equipped and the BBQ area is delightful. It is like having your own tavern! The property is clean and fresh, and situated in such lovely surroundings, with stunning views that you can never tire of. The property is not overlooked, so is very private and is in really easy walking distance of the shops and some really good quality restaurants. We have been to this property before, and would always highly recommend it. However it never ceases to amaze me that each time we go the owners have made even further improvements. Any comments and suggestions given by guests are carefully considered and the property continues to evolve. I cannot fault this Villa in any way. It is such a pleasure to walk through the door at the beginning of the week and so sad to leave it at the end. If you have not been here before and are looking for that special place then do not hesitate, as this is definitely it!

Beautiful villa in an elevated position with stunning views. We had a wonderful holiday
Its the attention to detail throughout the villa which is so impressive - everything has been carefully considered. We found the location very convenient for going everywhere by car - all the main beaches and restaurants accessible within 15 minutes. Definitely worth hiring a boat from St.Stefanos to visit numerous bays on the way to Agni beach to their excellent restaurants - went 4 times. Going into Kassiopi we preferred to drive down and park on the road to enable easy journey home. The quality of the villa and the location gives anyone huge flexibility as to staying in or going out. Highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Lucy Rickman

Host profile image
My husband Nick and I (Lucy) have run a business in England for the past 35 years. We have been visiting Corfu regularly since the children were small. Once we discovered Corfu nowhere else seemed to match it as it worked for us as a perfect holiday destination - quiet, peaceful, beautiful views, secluded bays, good water sports, friendly people and plenty of sun. Even as the children got older, NE Corfu was still the perfect destination - it really does cater for everyone in the family.

Why they chose this property

We literally just stumbled across Villa Loukia whilst on holiday in 2007 and it really was a case of love at first sight. The house was nearing completion but the outside was a complete builder's site and there was no pool. Perhaps it was the fact that the children were beginning to leave home that influenced us into deciding that it was time for a new adventure. Buying a house in Corfu had not been our plan but certainly since making the decision to allow our hearts to rule our heads we have not looked back. We completed in December 2007 and then had a VERY stressful 4 months getting the outside finished, pool constructed, snags repaired, house furnished etc - all from my computer in England and just in time for the 2008 season. In true Greek style it was ready with minutes to spare!
Between 2015 - 2020 the villa was extended and completely refurbished inside. It is now just the perfect holiday house. There is a photo book about the history, at Villa Loukia.

What makes this property unique

Villa Loukia is unusual for NE Corfu because although set in a secluded position in tranquil olive groves, away from other properties, it is also in walking distance of the village of Kassiopi. This is a real bonus as our past experience showed us that with the majority of villas we HAD to drive to the tavernas at night.
Using the experience we gained over the years we also wanted to make sure that the villa was well equipped with everything you might want on holiday and that the kitchen was such that you could actually cook in it (if you want to)!
The views from Villa Loukia are stunning & it is the location and setting of the house that we fell in love with. Our guests to date all agree!
From 2018 our goal has been to make Villa Loukia more sustainable and we are committed to reducing the impact of holidays at Villa Loukia on the climate. Carbon offsetting is used to balance out our emissions by helping to pay for emission savings in other parts of the world.
We pledge to offset each year the carbon connected to the use of Villa Loukia as a holiday rental. This includes electricity, car usage by guests and staff, laundry and ALL guest flights.
We are really pleased that Villa Loukia produces usually about 60-80% of the electricity used (including air conditioning and pool heating) from the Photovoltaic Panel System on the roof and the Solar Water System.

I add blog up-dates to the villa website if you want more information.
