AboutTheExperience
Breathe fresh sea breezes and mountain air from this luxury villa with a pool in Greece, located in the hills of Mount Pantokrator, overlooking Corfu and stunning views of the Ionian Sea. From this holiday villa in Greece you will have easy access to local villages, where you can enjoy the beach or a meal at a local taverna. Nearby Corfu town is also a pleasure to visit, whether to wander the ancient streets or tour one of the imposing fortresses. Regardless of whether you are exploring the island or relaxing at your own luxury villa in Greece, you will always be surrounded by lush greenery, ancient buildings, and amazing ocean views.
LocationDescription
The village nearest this villa is the quaint and quiet Nissaki, where you will find a small beach with good swimming areas and several tavernas. If you're in the mood for adventure you can also find some coastal footpaths (leading to some small, rocky coves) or drive up into the hills to explore traditional Greek villages. The road from the villa to Nissaki is a beautiful unpaved (and steep!) road, perfect for dedicated walkers or hikers. Corfu town, the capital of the island, is only 20 km away, a nice afternoon or day trip. Here you will find a city influenced by many different styles: predominantly Venetian, traces of Greek, Roman, Normans, French and even English influences can also be found. You can visit museums, fortresses, churches, and many other interesting relics from the past. Or you may find it equally pleasurable simply to wander the narrow streets, taking in the atmosphere from elegant buildings and hidden squares.

ExteriorDescription
(4,000 m2) This villa sits amidst olive and cypress trees on the hillside of Mount Pantokrator, with breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea and the town of Corfu. From the main road (and bus stop) there is an unpaved, uphill road. The house sits alone on a huge property; there is another house 150 meters away, but rich vegetation obscures its presence, as well as any other houses in the area. Gardens surround the house, along with olive, cypress, lemon, and rose trees. Trees even act as the property's fence, and there is no gate at the main entrance. The outdoor area immediate to the property is private, and includes a built-in barbeque and three different dining areas: one on the ground floor and two at lower levels. A private swimming pool is 11m x 5m, and parking is outdoor beneath the shade of the property's olive trees.

Customer Reviews
Overall:
This house has a unique location and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The owner and her assistant were extremely nice. I have rented many houses in the past few years and this was definitely my best experience.
Enjoyed Most:
The view
Unpleasant Surprises:
the Greek tradition regarding toilets: we couldn't drop any paper in the toilets and this is definitely not our concept of good hygiene. We understood, however, that it has nothing to do with the villa; it is related to the local plumbing system.
Surrounding Area:
Nice walk to the beach or uphill.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Dassia was the closest shopping town not at walking distance, but close enough. Also a few grocery shops were at walking distance. The fish market in Corfu city was fun to visit.
Check In Out:
Smooth and nice.
Brigitte, July, 2009
Overall:
It was perfect.
Enjoyed Most:
The view and the owner - she helped make the island our home.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Nothing. The house was everything and more.
Surrounding Area:
The people, the scenery, everything.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Nissaki was within walking distance.
Tips or Restaurants:
The Anthe restaurant about 200 meters from the villa.
Jaime, August, 2007
Overall:
I thought both of the properties we rented in Greece through you were outstanding. This villa on Corfu was new, large, open and had a great pool. The woman who owned it was extremely friendly and we had maid service a couple of times.
Enjoyed Most:
I think my kids would say the pool was the highlight. It was also in a magnificent location overlooking the Ionian Sea with a huge balcony-porch to enjoy the view.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The only glitch was when we landed in Corfu the owner had a driver waiting for us - and I always rent a car. We didn't have directions to the house and got slightly lost, but the owner was available on her cell phone and helped me find the place. It was a fun adventure.
