Ask a questionAbout Lorraine & Geoff Kearsley
We are a recently retired couple who after first holidaying in Corfu in 2010 immediatly fell in love with the area, it's people, the tavernas, and the quiet, lazy way of life. We bought the house five years ago and renovated and refurbished it to provide us with a charming practical holiday base that could be used by both our family and a good quality property for rent. We hope Villa Chiquitita will offer anyone holidaying there, a nice quiet holiday location for relaxation and a convenient point from which to explore the north east coast and beyond.
Lorraine & Geoff Kearsley purchased this Villa in 2015
Why Lorraine & Geoff Kearsley chose Corfu Town
When we started our search for a holiday villa we recognized in Villa Chiquitita a unique opportunity to acquire a holiday home near to the seaside villages, tavernas and coastal scenery we love. We were attracted to this property as we recognized it's potential to provide an excellent family holiday home; set among the olive groves, overlooking the stunning vista of Corfu channel with the backdrop of the Albanian mountains. When we first viewed the villa it was neglected & unloved. The back garden was overgrown with weeds, the exterior of the building required damp treatment and painting, but it had been extended and had a new roof. The swimming pool was derelict but is now fully refurbished and benefits from the heating we had installed last year. We made improvements internally and fitted the property out properly to modern standards. We have, since we started holidaying in the area in 2010, come to know a great many Corfiot people who go out of their way to be helpful and friendly.
What makes this Villa unique
When we were looking for a Villa we had a few key aims. The property had to be located near to Kalami where we first stayed on Corfu. It had to take advantage of the tremendous views across the Corfu channel and the Albanian mountains beyond. Lastly, Villa Chiquitita is in the quiet idyllic location we sought, away from any main roads. During the refurbishment and fitting out of the Villa we have attempted to provide all the facilities to make a holiday home here as comfortable as possible.
