Rania and her sister Dimitra made us feel like at home: they are lovely and if you want to find out how people from Corfù are, this is the best option. This house is big, inspirating and artistic. Moreover you can find a good typical Taverna in front of it and a beautiful nature in the surroundings.

Όλα τέλεια!! Ήμαστε παρέα 4 ατόμων και δεν είχαμε κανένα παράπονο! Πολύ όμορφο και προσεγμένο σπίτι, παραδοσιακό αλλά με ιδιαίτερο στυλ, σε ήσυχο μέρος μέσα στη φύση, δροσιά το βράδυ, πολύ κοντά στην πόλη της Κέρκυρας (με αυτοκίνητο). Η οικοδέσποινα ήταν πολύ φιλική, εξυπηρετική και μας έδωσε και ωραίες συμβουλές για το νησί. Το προτείνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα :)

To był wspaniale spędzony czas. Rania jest bardzo otwartą i sympatyczną osobą, która zawsze pomoże w razie potrzeby. Dom w stylu greckim i malownicza okolica, sprawiają że wrażenia z pobytu są niezapomniane.

Abbiamo trascorso dodici giorni splendidi in casa di Rania, accolti in un clima molto familiare e rilassato. Tutto è stato perfetto fin dal nostro arrivo. La posizione è tranquilla e contemporaneamente strategica per visitare senza difficoltà tutta l'isola, se si dispone di un mezzo di trasporto proprio. La casa è davvero molto bella, arredata con personalità e fornita di tutto il necessario. Rania e sua sorella sono sempre pronte a dispensare consigli utili e sono persone estremamente accoglienti. Ci si sente davvero a casa propria.

Nous avons passé 5 jours chez Rania, à deux. La maison est très propre et on s'y sent tout de suite à l'aise, et Rania et sa soeur sont charmante et toujours à l'écoute : que vous ayez un problème, que vous souhaitiez un renseignement ou que vous vouliez uniquement discuter, elles seront toujours présentes et de bonne humeur ! En bas de la maison, une petite Taverna très sympa. Nous avons vraiment apprécié le séjour!

We had a fantastic time staying at what truly is a tranquil location. Even before we had begun our journey Anastasios was on hand to offer help and advice with direction, place's to shop before arriving and any other questions we had. On arrival Anastasios was there to greet us, showing us the apartment and providing us with fresh fruit, bottled water, home made wine and a very welcome glass of home made lemonade. As it was late we were left alone to relax and rest in what is a very quiet apartment with cool air from the air-conditioning, until we acclimatised. The apartment has everything required for self-catering with a large fridge-freezer, hob and oven and all the pots and utensils you would expect. There is also plenty of space to relax inside or on the balcony area where you can also dine with amazing views over Corfu town. All the patio doors and windows had fly screens to keep out wasps and mosquitos. This was great as you could allow the cool breeze to circulate around the apartment, saving having the air-conditioning on. The double bed was very comfortable for myself and partner with our daughter sleeping on a fold down bed within the lounge area. We did not have to fold this away each day as there was room to move. There is also a washing machine which was well used by us within a clean toilet and shower room. Anastasios was on hand over the next few days to help us settle in a guide us to places to visit, eat and relax on non tourist filled beaches. His family are also staying in and near the apartment and are some of the friendliest people you will meet, having said that the Greek people are all very hospitable. Over the few weeks we stayed here we got to spend some real quality time with Anastasios and his son. Travelling to some beautiful areas in Corfu. He really made it a very memorable and relaxing holiday as we felt like welcome guests rather than having a faceless host. By the end of our stay we had become good friends and look forward to visiting again in the not too distant future. Thank you Anastasios you are an excellent host!

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment. The veiws are spectacular and this was an ideal location for us to explore Corfu. We were really grateful for all the information you gave us and we would love to come back in the future. Many thanks.

Wen we arrived Spiros picked us up at the port and helped us to find the best solution to rent a motorbike. The apartment is very nice and the all family was very helpful! Unfortunately one night our motorbike had problems with the light, so the next morning Spiros arrived with a new one! So nice people! He also brought us agin to the port the day we left. We loved the house also because it was on the country side and not in the city center. just 15min driving to get there. From there you can easily go to Pèlekas (a beautiful small village with the best sunset view), to one of our favorite beaches A'gios Gordis and the old village Pentati on the top where you can great eat! I really recommend his apartment, we were very happy and if you go you have to meet his family!

Spiros is a great and helpfull host! We had really a nice stay at his place.

the house is perfect for a group of five because has a lot of space. Infact there are beautiful terraces where is possible to have breakfast and beautiful dinners with an amazing view. The house is near the city center (ten minutes by car) but at the same time it is in the middle of the nature on a hill. It's perfect for who want to take a break from the daily routine. It is a luxury house, very big and comfortable! The owners are always helpful and kind for everything. When we arrived we found fresh water, something to eat for the breakfast and other welcome gift. All was great!

I spent two nights here with my girlfriend and we enjoyed our stay. The apartment is basic but clean and spacious (two sleeping rooms). The beds are comfortable and there is an air conditioner which is useful especially during hot August nights. Communication with Effie was nice and easy and she also came by to check if everything was fine, which was appreciated. Visitors should be aware however that the house is located in a tiny village, so getting a car or a scooter is helpful (we did that). But considering the relatively low price this is not that much of a problem!

The topothasia house was great because it combines two things: on the one close to Corfu and to many beaches and the other located in a quiet village, which however is not dead he has a beautiful square where people gather and children as there is also a tavern organizes musical evenings. The sister Effie which greeted us was very polite and helpful.

The house was beautiful and comfortable! The location was very good as it has good access to the city (usually 20 minutes to 30 minutes depending on traffic) and a good selection of beaches as Agios Gordios and Glyfada within 10-minute and 15-minute job respectively! Efi hosts were very good although there is Greece!

The house is big and comfortable! But could be more tidy! The lack of curtain in the bathroom is basic problem as each time you wash waters fills everywhere! Efi and her mother were very good hostess! They helped us in that we wanted!

We spent our first night at Effie's place and her sister kindly waited for us at the house to show us around and explain where the closest shops were. She was also easily reached by phone and text when we needed help. We would definitely recommend staying there - the house is nice and roomy, and would easily accommodate a family.

We stayed in Gina’s  95 sq. m  apartment for two weeks in June 2015 – two adults and two kids 11 and 6 years old. A great option for those who want to enjoy the family company away from noisy crowded places. A wonderful location in the hills with a fabulous view.  The place is very cleverly arranged in three levels in a beautiful mature  garden. An excellently maintained pool is on the lower level surrounded by a garden wall with flowers on one side and trees and beautiful bushes on other sides.  This is  a rare case when you can enjoy both the sun and natural shade, and a great advantage for kids and elderly people. The nicely furnished rooms and outdoor area made us feel at home. The car is essential in such location, of course. We hired one in the airport on arrival, and travelled a lot around the island exploring the beaches and wonderful view spots. Gina is a very caring  host: as we arrived late in the evening with kids she had bought some necessary food for the morning.  This is definitely the best place to enjoy the beauty of Greece and the hospitality of its people!

Our stay here was simply wonderful! The apartment itself is spacious, clean and the bedrooms roomy with lovely air conditioning which is needed in the summer months. Vasileos was very welcoming and gave us some ideas for days out which was useful - we tended to stay quite close to hand though as it was so hot! We visited Corfu Town which is a must - about 15 min drive away, and Pelekas village which has a stunning 360 degree view of the island and is a typical Greek village with lots of lovely restaurants - try Jimmy's and Agnes Restaurant for wonderful Greek food. There is a small supermarket about 5 mins from the property which sells most things, or we found the Proton supermarket on the road to Corfu Town to be good value. Road signs are a bit hit and miss - we had one hysterical evening trying to get to the beach and ended up going round in a big circle! The villa itself is very peaceful - we spent many days just lounging by the pool or sitting on our small veranda in the shade. This is a great place for holidays with children as parts of the pool are quite shaded throughout the day but there is sun if you want it. Can't stress enough how lovely this holiday was - very relaxing and our 14 year old son got his fix of Wi-Fi which was a bonus for him.

Perfect location for a holiday with a difference. Gina's lovely apartment is part of an old house with an immaculate pool in the hills above Corfu town and is ideal for a quiet, unique location but with easy access to all parts of the island. Obviously a car is essential. As well as Corfu town which is very easy to get around I would highly recommend the beaches of Pelekas and Issos. Don't even bother going to Kavos! Lovely week and perfect for smLl family or couples. Not for anyone looking for nightlife.

We stayed in the apartment Koum Kouat for two weeks with 4 adults and had a wonderful time there. It is the ideal place from where you can explore the whole of Corfu. Gina takes good care of everything and makes you really feel at home. There is an excellent pool and BBQ available. Be aware that you do need a car or scooter - the nearest village and shops are several kolometers away from the apartment. Gina can advise you with hiring a car (and save you money).

Gina and her husband were very welcoming and had emailed us a detailed description on how to find the house. Gina welcomed us by the gate and helped us install in the house. The house was nice and cool, and very clean. The outdoor areas were fantastic, the garden/green areas around the house were beautiful, the outdoor kitchen/grill area cool in the siesta time and when lying by the pool I felt like a millionaire. We travelled two couples with three small kids in total and after removing a few items from their reach the house was well suited for kids. I don't know what else to say than, this was a great experience and I an only recommend a stay in the house.

We had a week in June 2016. Gina's place high in hills is wonderfully peaceful. The pool is its crowning glory, the garden is delightful. From our balcony looking over the property we breakfasted in the sun with views over cypress trees towards Corfu town. The local village, Kamara, attractive like so many has no shop. A car is vital and the journey from Corfu town is studied with roadside fruit shops, supermarkets and fuel stops. Our apartment was spacious & well equipped, easy to settle into. As they live in the top apartment Gina & her husband Vasileios were on hand for restaurant tips etc. A lovely week.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la très belle propriété de Gina : très bon accueil, superbe maison, jardin reposant, belle piscine, calme absolu propice aux heures de lecture dans la douceur du climat. La situation centrale de la maison sur l'île nous a permis de découvrir Corfou très facilement, chaque jour avec une voiture de location indispensable. Adresse à recommander pour couple avec un enfant, amateur de tranquillité !

Très agréable séjour à Corfou dans cette propriété : accueil chaleureux, calme, vue magnifique, appartement très bien équipé, piscine très propre .... un endroit à recommander si vous souhaitez profiter de moments de tranquillité loin des foules de la plage pendant la saison estivale. Voiture indispensable. Bonne situation permettant de rayonner assez facilement dans l'île.

Perfect hospitality. Everything was as described on site, the distance from old town is only 8 minutes while also you get an advantage of avoiding the traffic of the city center morning time that you want to go to the beach. Host was always there when was asked. In general he gives you the feeling that the home is yours and you feel free. If you are looking for visiting Corfu this is the best place to stay. Perfect view from a very wide balcony.

Our host Michael not only helped us with everythig we needed during our stay, but also made us feel like home at all times. He was very eager to ensure that everything is ok with our stay and even gave us some treats from his beautiful garden. Michael also helped with recommending some amazing places to eat and lovely beaches around the area. The house was marvellous, very spacious, well-arranged and clean. It is also fully equipped with everything you may need. Fantastic view from atop of the hill to the city's gorgeous skyline and, of course, the beautiful Ionian sea. It is situated at the center of the island, so everything is pretty close. Definitely the place to stay in Corfu.

Abbiamo avuto una splendida accoglienza per la cortesia e soprattutto per la disponibilità di Michael. Non solo all'arrivo, quando, non avendo ancora noleggiato una vettura, ci ha accolti in aereoporto ed accompagnati a casa, ma durante tutto il soggiorno con le attenzioni ricevute anche in alcuni momenti di difficoltà. La casa è veramente bella e risponde pienamente alle aspettative ed alle foto pubblicate. Niente è mancato nell'arredo, dalla biancheria pulita e nella maggior parte nuova ma anche negli utensili presenti nella casa. La vista che si gode sulla città di Corfù è eccezionale, essendo posizionata su una altura poco fuori dal centro. La terrazza su cui la sera piacevolmente abbiamo passato ore a rilassarci, gode dell'ombra di una bellissima pergola. Michael è una persona dolce, gentile ed amichevole sempre presente nel rispondere alle nostre richieste, per altro poche essendo già tutto presente nella casa, e nel darci indicazioni su luoghi e siti da visitare. Parla perfettamente inglese e spagnolo e si è dimostrato capace di relazionarsi anche in italiano. Tra le altre attenzioni, ci ha fatto dono dei frutti del suo orto, che lui coltiva in modo totalmente naturale. Consiglierei questa casa a tutti gli amici che vogliono visitare Corfù, perchè sono certo che non rimarrebbero delusi nelle loro aspettative.

This was our To pick any place is honestly quite r first trip to Greece and it was just fantastic. This was also our first experience with Airbnb - and both experiences were just fantastic. andom, but we couldn't have been more lucky. Choosing Olga's place on Corfu Island was really great and to have a host like Olga Vasiou made our holiday simply better than expected! We got a first hand knowledge on local Greek Culture and way of life. We had the entire house to ourselves. Good beds, clean and as expected! During the first day we had a problem with missing fan in one of the rooms, though when we mentioned it to Olga she was kind to fix one for us very quickly. When we visited the place there was no wifi in the appartment, Olga fixed this with a Vodafone internet dongle. She was going to have someone fix the wifi soon after we left. This was blessing in disguise because we enjoyed each others company more. Corfu is a great great island - very beautiful and Olga was not just a great host but also our guide to the place. she gave great advises what to see and drove us around Corfu. We had a early morning flight arrival at Corfu (04:00 am), but Olga picked us up at the airport without any complaints and with a warm welcome to start the holidays. This was a nice gesture. Before i forget, during our first day one of our friend fell sick because of the heat in Corfu, Olga helped us with all she could to make our friend feel comfortable. Every need was fulfilled and we had a great get away in Greece. If you are going to Greece, choose Corfu. If you choose Corfu choose Olga's house - As Olga had mentioned to me before the holidays "You will not regret"- Thanks a lot!

Olga's apartment was very beautiful and exactly the way it was described. We had a very pleasant stay at her house. Olga is really friendly and helpful and provided us with everything we needed. She left plenty of towels for everyone. Olga's house is in a recently built neighbourhood where most of the houses are still unoccupied.

Πολύ άνετο και λειτουργικό σπίτι, με υπέροχη θέα, σε ήσυχη γειτονιά με μια πολύ γλυκιά οικοδέσποινα.Ευχαριστούμε πολύ Όλγα!!

Ευχαριστούμε για την φιλοξενία, όλα ήταν ακριβώς όπως στην περιγραφή του σπιτιού!! Ευελπιστούμε να σας επισκεφτούμε και πάλι!!

H Όλγα ήταν εξαιρετική οικοδέσποινα, ζεστή και φιλική από την πρώτη στιγμή. Μας έκανε να νιώσουμε άνετα στο χώρο της και έδειχνε καθημερινό ενδιαφέρον για τη διαμονή μας ώστε να μην μας λείψει τίποτα. Το σπίτι της ήσυχο και άνετο με θετική αύρα και όλες τις ανέσεις. Ευχαριστούμε Όλγα

Just what we were looking for: little village house, nicely renovated, clean, in a typical traditional greek village (taverna , cafeneo, etc...) while 15 min drive from Ag Gordios and less than 30 min to many other beaches, town, etc.... You cannot beat the ratio quality price of this accommodation!

Hi.the house in Kinopiastres was nice,it is about 10 km from Korfu center.ther is going a bus nr.5 and 10 from center. if you get out from bus station then take a road up to willage.the hous is left side before Taverna.

Η τοποθεσία ηταν ιδανική για μια οικογένεια με μικρα παιδια,οι γείτονες φιλικοί, η περιοχή ενα μικρό παραδοσιακό χωριό.ολα τα παραπάνω σε βοηθάμε ν ζήσεις για λίγες μερες οπως ενας ντόπιος και λιγότερο σαν τουρίστας.το σπίτι οπως ακριβώς απεικονίζεται στις φωτογραφίες, ομορφο και εξυπηρετούσε τις ανάγκες μας(ύπνο,ζεστό νερό,κουζίνα πληντυριο, ψυγείο). Στο μικρό σοκάκι είχε χώρο για άπλωμα των ρούχων και χώρο για να κάτσεις να πιεις τον καφέ σου και να χαζέψεις τους τουρίστες που περνούσαν για να επισκεφθούν την τρύπα-το γνωστό εστιατόριο- η την μονη της Αγίας Παρασκευής. Δροσερό σπιτάκι με ησυχία το βραδυ και πρωινο ξύπνημα απτά περιστέρια !!!!Το συνιστώ για κάθε καλοπροαίρετο και κεφάτο επισκέπτη.

Καλος χωρος ,καλη σχεση τιμης διαμονης ,οομορφο γραφικο χωριο ολα καλα !!

Μικρό γραφικό σπίτι, σε ένα παραδοσιακό χωριό 10 λεπτά από την παλιά πόλη ! Οι περιγραφή και οι φωτογραφίες ταιριάζουν απόλυτα με την πραγματικότητα. Αν εξαιρέσουμε ένα θεματάκι που είχε με την καθαριότητα ( πάτωμα και επιφάνειες ) όλα τα άλλα ήταν μια χαρά! Καθαρά σεντόνια, πετσέτες, ζεστό νερό και θέρμανση ήταν όλα όπως πρέπει.

To put it simply: Ellie's Loft and the host family are incredible. Kiki and her husband Yannis went to great lengths during the stay to make sure we had everything we needed and were happy in Corfu. The home is absolutely beautiful and would make a wonderful romantic getaway for a couple, but was perfect for our group of 4. The home is fully equipped for an extended stay on the island. Kiki was always accessible and made sure we had everything we needed and were fantastic at making recommendations for the island. Corfu is a slightly difficult island to navigate (all busses lead to and from Corfu Town) and it is recommended that guests in Ellie's Loft rent transportation, but our group did fine without. Aside from that, Sinarades was perfect for our vacation and we have every intention on staying again.

The stay at Kiki's place was perfect! Spacious, very clean and stylish modern apartment in an excellent place. It is truly home to home place with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Kiki was great host- very communicative and helpful. We really loved staying here. Would definitely recommend the apartment!

Our holiday in Corfu, was the best short family holiday we have experienced; the island has plenty to offer, however much of this success was due to the caring attitude of our generous hosts Bill and Stavros and their parents at Kompitsi cottage. ‘You’ll appreciate the view in the morning’, said Bill, after guiding us by car from the airport to Kompitsi cottage, through the pine forest. A home cooked feast prepared by Bill and Stavros’s mother, plus breakfast provisions and more, was waiting for our midnight arrival. A new kitten Soosoo introduced herself and we knew from the first night that our stay at Kompitsi that it was going to be a memorable one. I woke early the next morning, and the view over the cool misty morning forest valley was breathtaking. The Cottage, is more spacious than depicted in the photographs, the grounds are extensive, gated and private; all amenities are easy to use, the place is clean, tidy and well maintained. Kompitsi cottage is a great base from which to discover the island. An overwhelming plus for us was the plentiful, fully stocked organic vegetable, and herb and flower garden, we had the freshest and tastiest salads, and barbequed food. The journey to the cottage, is via a steep winding road, passing through Kompitsi village, in the middle of the pine forest, it is totally off the beaten track, and therefore essential to hire a car. There are paths for short walks from the cottage, a farmers market 1km away, by car local shops, supermarkets, and petrol stations are 3-5 mins. The beaches Glyfada, and Kontogialos (NB. extremely steep ascent on return) are 15 -20 mins away, as is Corfu old town, the airport, and Aqualand. Some of the best panoramic views of the whole island are found at Kaiser’s throne near Pelekas, The Old Fortress and Achilleion Palace. Kompitsi cottage is stand alone, up on a hill, therefore it is a place to take things to do, books to read and write, sewing, painting, whatever as there is no entertainment nearby. Kompitsi village is extremely quiet, and completely untouristy, there is one local friendly taverna, which does delicious traditional hot food and drinks. Concerning parking there is a relaxed attitude – however Corfu old town after 11am is difficult, better to visit either early am or late pm, parking is then available on the new or old port roads. A nice way to visit Corfu old town is to park on the Old Port road, (after 5) and walk the promenade into town, where everywhere is open until late. Communication with Stavros and Bill was excellent. We would highly recommend staying at Kompitsi cottage, if you enjoy peace, cats! (lots of them), fresh air, cooking, and a tranquil haven definitely far from the madding crowd. The only thing wrong with our holiday was that 8 days was just too short for us personally… we miss Bill, Stavros and Soosoo, and our time in Corfu.

It has been an incredible experience. Located in the beautiful countryside near the best beaches to west and the Corfú town with Sissi's Palace to the east, this mansion gives you a real feel of the vacations that, once, nobles of those times were lucky to have. Stavros and his brother Bill passed every day to take care of the household, bringing some delicious food cooked by their mother. You also have a garden where you can collect vegetables for your healthy Greek salads

It was marvellous holiday in Kerkira in Stavros home.Stavros is very frindly,delighful and helpful.His mother greeting us with very tasty cake and vegetable tarte and homemade wine.The place is very quiet ang clean. It was sad to say goodbye.

The house is amazing (even better than what the photos show!), we found everything a house needs, and the owners were so kind, friendly and helpful! The place is perfect for who is looking for relaxing and a peaceful holiday. We really appreciated and enjoyed our stay!

Abbiamo soggiornato in kompitsi per 12 giorni e ci siamo trovati benissimo. La casa è bellissima, ordinata e pulita e super funzionale. I proprietari sono una famiglia fantastica tutti gentili e cordiali. Siamo stati deliziati con omaggi tipici della località fatti in casa, ci siamo sentiti accolti come in una famiglia! Suggerisco a tutti di soggiornare qui

Am avut 2 saptamini de neuitat la aceasta vila,aerul extraordinar,locatie perfecta pentru cei care doresc o vacanta linistita si relaxanta,priveliste frumoasa de la balcon si din curtea casei.. foarte curat si este absolut tot necesarul pentru trai si pentru a pregati mincare acasa.. Proprietarii,Stavros si Vasilis au fost foarte foarte atenti si politicosi cu noi,ne-au ajutat in toate,multumim mult !!! Cu placere m-as intoarce in Corfu, si as alege sa traiesc la ei.

This place is maybe suited for people who like isolation and never ending hiking,but I do not enjoy these things.If you choose to stay at Desfa's place you MUST (I repeat - MUST) have a car.If you want to walk you have at least 30 minutes to the nearest beach (if you are young and healthy).And when you want to return from the beach (which is beautiful) it is one constant steep climb, so we had to hitchhike a few times,and that's not very pleasant. Village of Pelekas is 1 km away, but it's also uphill. Mosquito's are everywhere! Theodore and his mother are friendly,and he drove us to his apartment, and then to the airport at the end of our holiday. If you like comfort and if you want to be near urban environment this is not a place for you. But it's cheap, and for that money you couldn't ask for anything better.

Desfa’s place is perfect for people who want to really relax on their vacation. It is located 1 km before cute Pelekas village with famous Kaiser’s throne. However, you need to have a car or a scooter to be able to explore beaches in the area, even the Pelekas beach. Pelekas is perfectly located for exploring both north and south of the island as well as Corfu town which is just 30 minutes away by car. Desfa and his mother Lula are really nice and welcoming hosts. Desfa was very helpful and attentive. He drove us from and to the airport and gave us some good tips. Also, he helped us rent a quad bike in the village. Lula honored us as guests to her museum of folkloric items – her personal collection of many interesting things such as clothing and jewelry in the very house. Our room was simple and clean with a rather small bathroom but with an access to a wonderful balcony looking at beautiful “jungly” garden. It’s quite and fresh here but to enjoy sitting at the balcony to the fullest you need to bring something to beat mosquitoes. Also, we could use a shared kitchen, fairly equipped. We highly recommend this place and we plan to go back next year.

It's located in the middle of Corfu and therefore a good basis to explore the (URL HIDDEN) if you want to be away from busy beach and close enough to a small village, you have to be at Desfa's place. And not least....Desfa is a wonderful, helpful and nice man!!!!!!!! Good luck! Costel Rusu

17-08-2013 We stayed at Desfa's home for one week and really enjoyed it. The house was homely and clean. It's located in the middle of Korfu and therefore a good basis to explore the island. You can sit and enjoy the balcony of your room, or gather in the yard where there is a table for dining etc. Desfa's mother is a very nice lady who cares for the house. She has a very beautifull folklore museum. So if you want to be away from busy beach resorts and yet close enough to a small village, you have to be at Desfa's place. The photo's are very accurate. Eric, Janny and kids

We had a very nice staying at Desfa's place. The house is really nice, calm and surrounded by trees and nature. We really enjoyed breakfast in the terrace and Desfa’s mother, who lives in another apartment on the top floor, sometimes gave us walnuts and pomegranates from her garden. Desfa was helpful and available and gave us useful advice. If you want to spend a nice holiday in Corfu in a quite place, we strongly recommend to go there. The house is big, simply decorated but all basic comforts are there. We appreciated having a private bathroom in our room. Moreover, Pelekas village has good restaurants and a close nice beach. Very good quality for the price we spent! Thank you Desfa!

Tell others in the Airbnb community about your stay.

Well, the place was great... And I think others may have had a better experience... But we had a pretty bad experience with Desfa. First, when we arrived, there was no one at the house at all! So we went around Pelekas and got a drink, and came back about an hour later... Still no trace of Desfa. But we found another guest. Who didn't know how to get in touch with Desfa. After about an hour Desfa's mother came to her house upstairs and gave us a phone number. We called Desfa and he said sorry, he was running late. Anyway, beyond that, the room was quite dirty, none (I mean NONE) of the lights in the room and bathroom worked. There was just a small lamp that barely sufficed. There were two twin mattresses joined together, but one was so awful (sprints all sticking out) that we had to sleep in just the one decent bed. In the bathroom, there was a lump of hairs stopping the drain... And the door to the bedroom did not close at all, so we had to push a chair against it at night to have some semblance of privacy. We never saw Desfa, and since we were staying only two nights, decided just to avoid an unpleasant situation and just stay as things were. After all, the deal was quite cheap, and we only had to endure for two nights. If it wasn't for these problems, the place would have been great because the location is quite good and the house is nice. All the other rooms were filled, and the people were friendly, so the atmosphere was ok. The conditions of our room, however, were rather abysmal. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

We had a relaxing 10 days at Theodore's. He and his mum Lula are absolutely lovely and helpful hosts, one feels like living in a shared house, staying with them means free airport pick-up, figs from the garden and invitations to the village fiestas. The house is a beautiful traditional building with a lovely yard and beautiful garden (too bad there are a lot of wasps and mosquitos in the summer in Corfu), the family uses the upper floors, while the ground floor part (4 rooms + kitchen; 3 of the rooms share a balcony) are rented out. The accomodation is basic (the bathrooms are tiny) but the character of the house makes up for it if you're looking for a laid-back beach holiday. The house is located 1km outside of Pelekas, with some nice but - like everywhere in Corfu - touristy beaches nearby. It's easy to get into Corfu town by bus and Pelekas is a good base to explore both the North and the South of the island by scooter (forget the beach resorts and visit the mountains instead).
