We had a wonderful week's stay at Villa Wisteria. Danielle was a fantastic host; so helpful. As this was our first visit to Corfu and first time travelling abroad with our 3 year-old son, she gave us recommendations of great restaurants and places to visit, also answering our random questions (which helped inform our packing), such as what food we could find nearby for our fussy-eater and how thick the cot mattress was (sounds funny but we wanted to ensure we all got a good night's sleep after a previous experience with a wafer thin cot mattress in a hotel!) We needn't have worried at all, the travel-cot/beds were super-comfy and we slept like logs!
The 2-bedroom villa is spacious, clean, well laid-out and in a quiet location. It's well-equipped with some really lovely touches; bottles of milk and water waiting for us in the fridge, a bottle of fizz (kindly given by Danielle as I was celebrating my 40th), fluffy freshly laundered John Lewis towels, a basket of toys which our son loved playing with, cutlery/cups/bowls and potty etc. for him. As the villa has a washing machine and dishwasher we could easily keep on top of our washing/washing-up all week.
Views to the rear of the property over fields, thickets and hills are wildly beautiful; a stunning spot from which to watch the famous Corfu sunsets and eat a leisurely breakfast in the mornings. We enjoyed watching all the planes coming into land over the island; close enough to be interesting but far away enough for sound levels not to be an issue.
During our stay we took Danielle's recommendations to visit Corfu Old Town (bus stop is a 3 min walk from the villa so very handy), the charming village of Chlomos (15 mins by car up quite a windy road but well worth the journey for incredible views over the island) and we ate at Seagulls in Agios Georgios South twice. Can't recommend any of these trips enough! Staff at Seagulls were so welcoming.
The small Spiros supermarket is just 2 mins from the villa as is Elleana's swimming pool, with great facilities; cafe, pool with inflatables for children and shallow-end for littlies.
Agios Georgios South seafront is only a 5-10 min walk away, which initially felt quite a way for our toddler in the heat, but we soon got used to it once we'd got our bearings (worth taking pushchair if heading to the beaches). It has plenty of great restaurants/bars, shops to explore, as well as the sandy beaches.
Villa Wisteria comes very highly recommended!
