Really enjoyed our stay. Very clean and well appointed villa. The Hosts, Daniella and Hugh were really attentive and quick to respond to any enquires and sorted out any issues very quickly. Good recommendations given for local dining and things to do. Lots of different outside spaces in the villa to use. Great being right on the coast with access to the sea and kayaks, paddle boards and masks and snorkels to use. Lovely for both sunrise and sunset views. It is situated on quite a busy road. There is parking on the road near the villa. Bus services to Corfu Town and south to Benitses very easy to navigate. Would certainly recommend.

This is a beautiful villa, with a stunning view. The whole place was spotless and it was obvious how much pride Daniela and Hugh take in their villa from the presentation. The hosts are very welcoming and thoughtful. Daniela met us at the property and took us around to help us learn how to use all the facilities. She was warm, kind and informative. We stayed there as a family with two teenagers, my elderly mum in her late 80s and myself and my husband. The teenagers had their own floor which was wonderful for them and gave them some independence. The host had left a very thoughtful welcome pack with fruit, tea, coffee and drinks. She came back halfway through our stay and left us more treats which was again a lovely thing to do. It is so relaxing sitting on the balcony looking out to the sea. There is easy access into the sea which is fabulous and the water was very calm there the whole week. It is easy to get to Corfu Town by bus or car from the villa - and feels very central - as we did day trips north, south & west of the island from the villa very easily in our hire car. I thought it was a great location for exploring the island & pop to Benitses or Corfu Town for dinner. There is a set of steep stairs to get into the property which is worth being aware of if you have anyone who has accessibility issues. Once inside the villa it is very easy as they can stay on one level, but they need to be able to manage the stairs.

A GREAT HOLIDAY VILLA

A wonderfully located, well furnished and well equipped property. On the road from Corfu Town to Benitses, so service by bus made a hire car unnecessary. The owners agent Craig was more than useful when needed. One of the best views from a villa that we can remember.

Wonderful stay at Villa Waves

We had a wonderful week at Villa Waves ! The hosts are very helpful and accomodating. The villa is exactly as described and is beautifully decorated with fantastic outdoor areas to eat , relax and enjoy the views. Having kyaks and paddleboards available to use is just brilliant as the coast is perfect for exploring in this way and the snorkelling is great literally a few feet from the villa. Benitsies has a great selection of traditional tavernas , a supermarket and bakery etc which is 10 minutues by car or bus. The bus to Corfu town is just putside the villa and takes 25 mins which is perfect for a day trip or evening out. We would recommend this villa for anyone wanting a relaxing holiday enjoying the ocean and all that Corfu has to offer !

Villa Waves was spectacular. I’m so glad we booked this place for us and our two teenagers - it has it all! Perfectly located on the water we had such fun with the paddle-boards, kayaks & snorkels. Endless entertainment everyday as well as enjoying the hot tub in the evening time. We didn’t have a car so we used the bus to get around to nearby town’s & restaurants.

This villa was everything we expected and more.We enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset, our highlight being lucky enough to watch a pod of dolphins one morning.My sons aged 3 and 6 enjoyed exploring the wildlife both in the gardens of the villa and within the sea, this kept them very entertained.The villa has access to paddle boards, kayaks, fish rods and life jackets. The villa kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed. We used the bbq most days and enjoyed eating dinner with a view. The following things are not negative but things that our worth knowing if your planning a trip here.The road outside the villa has no path and is dangerous. We had planned to use the buses but ended up hiring a car which worked better for us with the children.There are many steps around the villa and to get down to the sea the steps are very steep, for younger children this may have been an issue, but we carefully navigated this with our children and it wasn’t a problem.The hosts were very helpful, they sent over restaurant recommendations and a boat trip for our children.Do not hesitate to book, a villa we shall never forget.

Excellent location with a fantastic view

Visited at the end of Aug 2016 and it was amazing. The villa is maintained to a very high standard and the communication with Hugh throughout the process was very good. The Villa is easy to find and the directions given from the airport excellent. The highlight has got to be the location and the Kayaks, which were used very day. The sunrise every morning was just spellbinding and there are plenty of outdoor areas to spread your self and your family around, if you want that moment of peace. The only negative is the parking outside the grotty derelict hotel and the 'take your life in your hands' walk down the road. Greek drivers are maniacs!! I didn't want to leave, and was thinking of hiding out in the downstairs 'apartment' for the rest of the year, but sadly I couldn't!

Birthday celebrations with the family

My family ages range from 26 - 60 and we all equally enjoyed the appropriately named Villa Waves! From the stunning views/pebble beach at our feet/twinkly lit hot tub, jetty/kayaks/snorkel gear/body boards/and beautiful roof top terrace (with my favourite hammock ) we were all satisfied. It is semi detached but the lovely neighbour was very friendly. There are quite a few steep steps around the property so it would be something to consider for anyone with mobility issues. We hired a minibus from a friendly efficient company recommended by Hugh which was worth doing to explore the Island, also the motor boat for the day which was great fun. As mentioned in other reviews there is quite a bit of traffic noise from the busy dangerous road above the villa, but it didn't spoil our experience or put us off from returning, and we really enjoyed the plane spotting! We made good use of the barbeque too and the kitchen was very well equipped. Beds were all very comfortable and clean and the aircon was great! We didnt use the TV but there is an excellent selection of DVDs to suit all. There are plenty of supermarkets within 5/10 minute drive away, and Benitses 10 minutes and Corfu town 20 minutes. Only suggestion for improvement would be sunlounger pads for roof terrace and a bit extra screening from the road, but we have made some really special memories at Villa Waves !!🇬🇷❤😎🥂

12 days in paradise

My wife and I talked about visiting Corfu from our very first phone call together before we even met face to face. It took us 22 years to finally get there. After careful consideration, we chose Villa Waves to base ourselves for our dream vacation. It was a very good choice. First the property is well described in the listing. It was very well taken care of and equipped with everything we needed during our stay. We were able to cook at the Villa when we wanted using a gas grill and the very well equipped kitchen and when we wanted, were a very short distance to many great places to eat. We decided to rent a car and explore the entire island. We were never much more than an hour drive from even the furthest places, and most were much less than that. In addition, we used the public bus system to go into Corfu town to avoid the need for parking. The bus system is really good and goes almost anywhere you would want to go. It was truly amazing to go swimming right out of the back door and we really enjoyed the Kayaks. Sunrises from the back terrace were awesome as we enjoyed the Nespresso coffee. Hugh and Daniela are truly awesome hosts. They made sure the Villa was well taken care of, checking in on things a few times during our visit. They also were always very quick to answer any questions we had. They even arranged for a great deal on our rental car. We loved every aspect of our stay and do not hesitate to highly recommend it!

The sea view is great but the house did not meet our expectations.

We were two couples and each one preferred to have its own bathroom. The other couple choose to sleep on the lower floor rather than sharing the small bathroom on the main floor with us. But these rooms can only be accessed via the outside stairs. Sleeping there they were locked out unless we kept the terrace door open at night, which we did. But it does not feel safe, especially since the doors could not be closed from the outside. Furthermore the bedrooms rooms on the lower floor could not be locked at all. Sleeping in a house literally on the beach where anyone could enter the property having the doors unlock-able just did not feel safe. Having some rainy days we desperately missed an inside dining table. The only table is outside. When eating inside we had to crouch around the low coffee table in the living room. 
We felt cold and the air condition in one bedroom was not working. For more comfort it would have been nice to have some hooks in the bathrooms and more cloth hangers in the bedrooms. The view from the balcony is beautiful. But the street is loud and on the same level as the roof terrace. Other than some people wrote, you are really exposed on the roof terrace. We enjoyed the hot tub, as well as the kayaking and the paddle board. The jetty was not installed yet and securing the kayak was troublesome. However the owners found a quick solution for some problems with the coffee machine and the dish washer. The communication was good and friendly.

Thank you for your comments , but feel 3 star is not fair . You came very early in the season and I told you the jetty is not put up untill the second week in may ( due to the storms which I believe you experienced ). All the aircon was checked and working ,your private comments to us were maybe you did not know how to work these . I did write to you explaining that we had booked a tradesman to install a winch for the ladder and was let down , this has now been rectified along with new locks in the lower bedroom-doors. We did take in your comments about more hangers and supplied more of these , but also you complained about our coffee machine which is the latest Nespresso Vertuo and you wanted a filter coffee machine which we supplied for you . We feel that the location (waterfront /mountain view is unique )we also supply kayaks and paddle boards which are included and free for our guests . Re the villa is presented immaculate and interior designed . Is great value for the price we charge .We have many guests that returned year on year and you can see by previous reviews that we have extremely high standards and our guests appreciate this . I would recommend that perhaps you should visit the island later in the year when the weather is more reliable as April you can still experience some bad weather /storms , but this is a risk you take when you come so early in the season..

Honeymoon Bliss

"Wow!" That was the first words my wife and I said when we finally set foot inside the Villa Waves. From the moment we saw it on Owners Direct, throughout the booking process (which was handled very professionally by Hugh and Olivia), to the moment we saw the villa from the plane as we landed in Corfu, we were in love with the place. However, nothing could prepare us for how fabulous the place is in person. The finish throughout the villa was superb and the facilities/amenities catered for everyone. We were just two people enjoying a honeymoon but there is plenty of space should we decide to bring our 4 children along in the future. The roof terrace was great for sunbathing and taking in the view across to Albania/Mainland Greece. However it was overlooked slightly by the busy road and could benefit from a bit more privacy either with taller trees and bushes or a screen. That said, the rest of the villa felt secluded and private which was lovely for us after our wedding. The location of the villa was perfect for us and allowed us to get around the island with ease with our hire car (which Hugh offered to help organise). Just a short drive from the airport, the villa is within easy reach of Corfu Town and the supermarket (Lidl) which was very convenient for us. Beyond Corfu Town there are several resorts boasting some fabulous beaches. The drive alone is worth it for the many picture-postcard views. However we enjoyed our "private" beach back at the villa. Ok, so the beach wasn't exclusive but the amount of others that used it gave it a very intimate feel. Of all the facilities available at the villa, I think we most enjoyed the binoculars which allowed us to sit on the balcony and view all the expensive looking yachts that sailed past the villa. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone. Couples will enjoy it because of its privacy and seclusion. Families will enjoy it due to the facilities, space and the proximity to the beach. My wife and I would go back in a heartbeat.

5* high specification property with million dollar views!

Dear Hugh & Daniela, Thank you so much for allowing me to stay at the property to test drive the villa for my families next summer's holiday to Corfu in May 2021 - we want to book it for a whole month please...I did not want to leave! The proper is finished to a very high standard that you just can't find elsewhere on the island it truly is the ultimate Mediterranean oasis with lots of attention to detail, high specification furniture, well-manicured gardens, an abundance of outdoor space, and designed with tranquillity and privacy at the same time. Occupying a spectacular, rare and 'true' waterfront position with unparalleled 180-degree view of the Ionian Sea and neighbouring Albania coastline views. The crystal-clear waters of the deep blue Ionian Sea are right on your doorstep and it’s shallow and calm so perfect for children, paddle boards and kayaks. Set over 4 levels there is so much space! The indoors and outdoors blend seamlessly with a stunning well-kept Mediterranean garden and of course the hot tub! Just magic to enjoy this in the evenings as the weather cools down and the sun begins to set. Hugh & Daniela were incredibly helpful, friendly and offered a multitude of options and special services if you require them (massages / in house chef / car & boat hire etc. – like a true concierge service). I really can't wait to bring the whole family next year. For someone who is incredibly spoilt when it comes to travel and a frequent user of all the private rental sites this is by far the best beach property I have ever stayed at. Well done guys - amazing place and the perfect location to explore all points of the island from. Thanks & Best wishes Jen

About the host

Host profile image
I run Villa Waves with my partner Daniela Im a New Zealander who has lived in the UK for the last 30 years, we have been involved in construction and developing residential homes in London and try to put our personal taste and experience we use in our every day lives, into Villa Waves.

Why they chose this property

I was looking to buy land and build in Corfu when I stumbled onto a picture of the villa . I asked the agent to send me a photo from the front of the property to which she replied we will need to hire a boat to do that, I was hooked and booked a flight.
when I saw waves she was very run down but the challange to make it into a beautiful holiday villa was to much to resist.

What makes this property unique

From the first moment I stood on the terrace and looked down at the beech and out to sea ,( the mainland to the left the mountains to the right ) I knew this property had a lot to give with its secluded beach and breath taking views.
