This is a fantastic property in a great position in the nicest area of Corfu. Avlaki beach and a couple of excellent tavernas are a few steps away and Kassiopi with all the restaurants, bars and shops is a short drive or taxi ride from the property. The hosts are so helpful and the property is clean with everything you could possibly need and more. This was our sixth visit and you will therefore not be surprised that this review concludes with our highest possible recommendation for you to make a booking.

A wonderful stay in this beautiful property with a lovely pool and tranquil gardens. We didn’t hire a car and the hosts were so good at helping us arrange a transfer to the Villa and shopping to be delivered and we felt we had all we needed with one of the best beaches on the Island and best Tavernas within walking distance. The baklava there is wonderful! Swam in sea before breakfast and snorkelled. A magical stay

Very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Koutsounada; it really is somewhere you can just relax, in your own space, with no need to stray beyond the beach unless you really want to. Like you, we seldom bother with a hire car these days, as we found we were making so little use of them. Taking a boat or a taxi to neighbouring bays is usually quite enough exploration for us! Swimming in the sea and snorkelling is such a joy isn't it?

Thanks for these lovely words Kerri. Erimitis is indeed a wonderful natural habitat of immense natural beauty with untouched lakes, hidden pebble beaches and ancient trees - we are so lucky to have it on our doorstep! There are local preservation efforts to protect the unique flora and fauna. Long may it remain a safe haven for the wildlife, and for the public to enjoy.

We have just returned from a wonderful family holiday at Villa Koutsounada. The villa was in a perfect spot for us, close to the beach and a couple of tavernas. The villa was very well appointed, especially the kitchen with efficient air conditioning throughout the house. Communication with the host was easy and all our queries were answered and responded to. We loved the outside space and the pool was well used! We hope to return.

Family of 5 all delighted with the property and location. Great communication, property pretty much exactly as expected and very happy with what we found, air conditioning was a godsend, lovely pool, would certainly stay again. If I was being super critical, the cushions to the external furniture should be properly cleaned or moved inside overnight - they were a little out of keeping with the standard of the rest of the villa. Thank you very much for 2 great weeks.

Delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at Koutsounada. Sorry about the external cushions - we do aim to upgrade them pretty regularly, but it's hard to keep track of how they are used when we're not there. Many thanks for the helpful feedback.

The house is absolutely beautiful sitting in spacious grounds with an amazing pool which gets shade in the late afternoon. It exceeded my (quite high) expectations and we would love to go back. The various shady seating areas were such a delight if you had enough baking in the sun and the ping pong was fun. There is a house next door through hedges (Avlaki Cottage) and you can hear those guests a little bit but it is otherwise really quiet (other than the soundtrack of crickets and birds).It is really well stocked with kitchen things and everything worked. We were really comfortable there and it had everything we needed. We didn’t cook much and didn’t barbecue (there was a ban in place anyway) but it’s a very easy house to live in with effective air conditioning and the beds were excellent too. Avlaki bay is quiet compared with neighbouring ones which have more tavernas and you’ll need a car for a shop but it was such a pleasure to come back to at the end of the day. Go and see the lovely people at Avlaki Boats and hire one for the day. We did it three times and it was wonderful. We learned that in some places including Kalami and Agni you need a reservation at a taverna to moor at the jetty but Kassiopi has an easy harbour without that restriction. We went with two teenagers and we had an amazing time. It was the best holiday we’ve had in recent years and I am so happy we found it,

Excellent Villa in a Quiet Location

Excellent accommodation if you want a top quality villa in a quiet location. The 2 restaurants / tavernas next to the beach and 5 minutes stroll away are both excellent. If you have a car then this a great base from which to visit Northern Corfu but it is also fine to just kick back with friends.

Perfect family stay

This is a beautiful house and suited us - 6 adults - perfectly, though would work well for up to eight. We loved the pool and various spaces to sit outside, to eat, read or sunbathe, and made good use of the table-tennis and bbq. Perfectly situated for peace and calm, but an easy stroll to the beach for swimming, boat hire and excellent taverna.

We loved the villa and the pool was beautiful. The villa is just a short walk to Avlaki beach and a great Taverna. The villa was extremely well equipped and very comfortable. The managers were very attentive and it was kept really clean for the entirety of our stay. The area is beautiful with lots of towns to explore either by car or even better by boat.

Wonderful Koutsounada

Our third visit to this wonderful villa on Avlaki bay. Everything was as good as previous visits which will ensure we come back many more times. Our grownup family for the first week and friends for the second is a winning combination. We visited our usual restaurants (Cavo barbera, Thomas’s, Nikolas, Kochili, and our brand new favourite, Kima in Kassiopi). Highly recommend.

We were delighted to hear that your holiday of 'two halves' was a success. We often do the same with our family and friends, as it's always fun to experience the holiday from different perspectives. We have never been to Kima, so will definitely try it out next time we are over; many thanks for the recommendation, and for your kind words.

We had a great holiday, the villa is in a perfect location. Local beach restaurant is lovely (recommended by Patricia). We hired a boat and spent our days visiting all sorts of beautiful bays and coves - which we would highly recommend. Patricia and Natoushka were super helpful before and during the holiday. Thank you

Many thanks for your kind words Alison. Delighted to hear that you all enjoyed your stay at Koutsounada, especially after all the uncertainty about whether you would actually be able to travel or not. Pottering around the coast in a boat, stopping off for a drink, food and swim is an idyllic summer pastime isn't it? Just ambling down to the taverna is also blissful - glad you got to enjoy both.

Perfect holiday retreat

Stayed for a very enjoyable week in June and found the villa/house to be very comfortable and well placed for a quiet retreat in a delightful garden with a wonderful pool. However, the lovely Avlaki Bay is just a short walk away and has the great fortune to have a very friendly taverna - Cavo Barbaro - which produced such delicious food that we ate there 5 nights out of the 7! We had a couple of trips out and really enjoyed a boat trip which afforded us the opportunity to see all the surrounding bays from a different vantage point. Everyone was so friendly in Corfu and I would thoroughly recommend the house.

Delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay in Koutsounada, and that you managed to get out and about a little by boat. We are very lucky having Cavo Barbaro on our doorstep - like you, we always seem to end up eating there, despite our very best intentions to eat in! I think Fotis and Kallina produce some of the best food on the island.

We are a group of 6 female friends and rented this delightful villa for one week. it was a wonderful experience. The building is excellently furnished, with great art work , and the kitchen is well equipped. The beach below is gorgeous and the views across to Albania stunning. Fabulous pool surrounded by olive trees. Shopping was more difficult because we did not have a car. But we managed to walk to the shops and also to Kassiopi, and sometimes took taxis that were reasonably priced at 10 Euros

This was our 10th consecutive family summer holiday on the beautiful North East coast of Corfu. We have used this villa for the last five of those visits since, put quite simply, it is fabulous in every way and highly recommended. As always, we loved the pool and the short walk to Avlaki bay, where you can swim in cool crystal clear water with not too many people to spoil the tranquility or eat and drink at one of two tavernas on the bay. We even found a great new restaurant this year, Lismari. Great setting, super food and excellent service and they picked us up from the villa and took us back free of charge, what’s not to like! Great owners, great helpful local team, give it a go……as long as is not not when we want to be there

Thank you so much for these lovely, kind words. We are hugely gratified that you continue to love staying in Koutsounada, even five years on from your first stay. As you know, we love it too, and try to make adjustments and improvements every year. It’s great that Avlaki beach remains relatively undiscovered, and that it remains largely untouched by commercialism. Long may that last!
