During July, my family and I spent our holiday at Ermones Villas, in the Emerald Villa. From the moment I booked the rental, Anya was very helpful with answering any questions I had before arrival, and suggested a great airport transfer service to get us to Ermones (Corfu Airport Transfers). Our flight arrived very early in the morning, but Anya and her husband had no issues with that, and greeted us upon arrival to help with our bags, and comfortably settle us into the apartment. They set out a nice fruit basket with wine and other snacks for us, which was nice to wake up to in the morning. Emerald Villa was more than comfortable for 3 people. It came equipped with a washing machine, towels, kitchen utensils, etc. The entire atmosphere at Ermones Villas is just magical. Photos really do this property no justice. The views are amazing. It's really a great place to relax and get away from the tourist crowds. Anya and her family's hospitality really makes it more pleasant. They prepare a bbq for the guests (for a small charge) with traditional greek foods that are so delicious. Its a nice way to meet the other families staying at the villas and spend an evening watching the sunset over Corfu. There are two pools and a nice deck w/ lounge chairs and picnic tables to relax during the day if you don't want to head to the beach. If you want to take a day trip to another island that is close to Corfu or want to get to some of the beaches that can only be reached by boat, Anya happily helps you with arranging that. If you want to spend the night in a great pizza place delivers to the villas..get the sweet nutella pizza :).
Ermones beach is very close. It takes about 25min to walk down the hill and about 35min to walk back up. It's a really nice walk. You can rent beach chairs and umbrellas for 8euro for the entire day. There are restaurants and a small market in the village as well. There is a bus stop at the end of the hill that runs during the day and is very easy to figure out (very cheap ticket). We took it to get to Corfu Town and Paleokastritsa. I highly recommend you take the time to visit both during your stay. Corfu Town is very nice to walk around, and the beach at Paleokastritsa is pristine (very touristy so has lots of excursions offered by the beach).
I have told everyone I know about Ermones Villas, because it exceeded my expectations. Anya and the entire family makes you feel like you at home. It is absolutely on my list to go back!
