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!

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.

Το σπιτι ειναι μεγαλο και ανετο! Θα μπορουσε ομως να ειναι πιο περιποιημενο! Η ελλειψη κουρτινας στο μπανιο ειναι βασικο προβλημα καθως καθε φορα που πλενεσαι γεμιζει παντου νερα! Η Εφη και η μητερα της ηταν πολυ καλες οικοδεσποινες! Μας βοηθησαν σε οτι θελαμε!

Το σπιτι ηταν ομορφο και ανετο!Η τοποθεσια του ηταν πολυ καλη καθως εχεις καλη προσβαση στη πολη(συνήθως 20λεπτο έως 30 λεπτο αναλόγως της κινησης) και πολυ καλες επιλογες για παραλιες οπως ο Αγιος Γορδιος και η Γλυφαδα εντος 10λεπτου και 15λεπτου αντιστοιχα!Η Εφη ηταν πολυ καλη οικοδεσποτης παρολο που δεν βρίσκεται Ελλάδα!

Η τοποθασία του σπιτιού ήταν εξαιρετική γιατι συνδυαζει δύο πράγματα: από τη μία είναι κοντά στην Κέρκυρα και σε πολλές παραλίες και από την άλλη βρίσκεται σε ένα ήσυχο χωριό, το οποίο ομως δεν είναι ¨νεκρό¨ αφού εχει μία ομορφη πλατεία που μαζεύονται οι κάτοικοι και τα παιδιά καθώς επίσης υπάρχει μια ταβέρνα που διοργανώνει μουσικές βραδιές. Η αδερφή της Έφης η οποία μας υποδέχτηκε, ήταν πολύ ευγενική και εξυπηρετική.

I was not only picked up from the airport but also given hints and info what to do,where to go and shown around Pelekas. Theodore place is perfectly situated around olive trees, 10min away from spectacular beach. The place itself is neat, tidy and just what I was looking for! If I go back to Corfu (and I hope I will) I would definitely stay at Theodore's again. My greetings for you and your mum! Keep up running.

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 and the location exceeded my expectation! Its a beautiful, peaceful place and both Desfa and his mother are very kind and friendly. The house/ room was spotless and safe for a little child. The beach and village are accessible by walk and the views are stunning! We`ve loved the place and hope to return soon!

We stayed 5 days at Desfa´s house and we had a good time there! He picked us up at the airport and his fantastic mother Loula ( who doesn´t speak English but it´s fun though since u will have the chance to learn some greek words with her!) brought us back to the airport. Desfas helped us to rent a scooter which was very helpful since we both forgot our driving license at home and thanks Desfas help we managed to rent one which was delivered the morning after our arrival directly to our apartment! Pelekas is in a very central location, in the middle of the island. A perfect stay to discover the beauties of Corfu both in the North as in the South. Some of the most beautiful beaches like Glyfada or Pelekas beach are close by. Don´t expect to find a 5 stars hotel since Desfa´s house is far away of being one!It´s a simple and rustical house sourrounded by the nature ( olive trees and flowers everywhere!), we had some "funny" problems with the water supply ( the tap can explode, the shower has no water pressure or there is not water at all!) but got quickly used to this real greek lifestyle! Epharistó Theodor for everything and a warm greeting to Loula!:-) Dani and Ralf

Desfa's place is a little Paradise! It is a little hide-away with a beautiful garden, and just a 5 min ride away from the cute village "Pelekas" where you can find many lovely restaurants. It's also close to some of Corfu's most beautiful (little) beaches. We saw different parts of the Island and Pelekas was defiantly our favorite! Why? Because of the mountains, the sweet smell of the forest and the beaches "Yaliskari" and "Myrtiotissa" - if you (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) you immidiately know why! Having Desfa as a host really adds to the experience! He goes above and beyond for you and after you stayed with him you made a new friend! He picks you up from the AirPort and gives you a little tour so you're able to oriëntale - which was a great help! Desfa; thank you for making our stay unforgettable!!

I had a lovely stay at Desfa's place. Theodore and Lula are perfect hosts. They respect your privacy but also are there to help you if you need it. The house was great.The rooms had everything I needed. I can't understand why anyone could complain? The price is fair and it is a home not a hotel. The surroundings were peaceful and tranquil. The bus stop is only a ten minute walk up the hill and the Pelekas village the same after that. You can also hire a scooter or car and the host will assist you with local information about that. Theodore and Lula are very kind and really helped with information and contact numbers and a beautiful Greek meal !! I chose to walk everywhere and that's not for everybody. The beaches are fantastic and easy by car/scooter. The walk is a little more challenging so wear decent walking shoes/trainers take a beach bag with your flip flops & water in that and you'll be fine. From the bus stop, turning point go down the hill, there is a small supermarket, take the right side at the Yaliskayi beach sign down the hill on the way to that great beach. I also walked to Glyfada beach. It was a long walk but a great beach. You can get the bus into Corfu Town easily which takes about half an hour. The shops are great and it's busy during the week. I went to Faliraki area on my last day for a swim stop. It was lovely. There are many connections at the bus square to other towns as well as the airport. There is also the new main bus terminal near the airport for bigger trips. You can explore or do as little as you want. This part of Corfu is near the mountains so take a tiny umbrella and plenty of sunscreen. You get a lot of sun some hot rain mixed in with some wonderful electric weather displays some times (Sep).

Theodore's hospitality was amazing. He is very kind and helpful. The room we got, was nice and relaxing. No air conditioning and tv but with common balcony with view of the garden. Possibility to use common kitchen. There is also table outside the house in the garden. About 5 minutes by foot to the bus stop if you want to get to Corfu Town, about 10 minutes by foot the the bus stop to get to the beach and about 20 minutes by foot to the centre of Pelekas. Renting a car or a scooter is quite helpful but we managed without them :) We had really good time at Theodore's house and we truly recommend it.

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.

We spent a very enjoyable week in Sinarades. The house is spacious, clean and very well equipped. Contact through AirBnB with Anand and Aparna was pleasant, and Tricia was very kind and helpful with welcoming us and setting us up, even inviting us for the yearly village procession. We liked Sinarades a lot, it's a quiet and charming village in which we felt very welcome. Be sure to visit Yannis' bar and the quality taverna in the village!

That was a great time spend in house in Sinarades. The house was very cosy and well furnished. We had everything we need to enjoy our stay. The organization and communication with hosts was also perfect. We can only recommend.

The access was very easy, someone has welcome us as soon as we arrived. The hosts are very careful and nice. The village is adorable. Our trip was really nice.

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!

We stayed in the Villa Argo... the first guests at this newly refurbished property. As it was the week of Easter, many things were not open, but we were given great suggestions by our hosts for special events to see in Corfu. The place was lovely and well supplied with all the amenities. Have stayed in many Airbnb properties, but this likely had the most comfortable bed of any we've stayed in. Although the high season hadn't started yet, it was already apparent that this apartment up on the hill gives a quiet place to retreat from the crowds down at the beach. Great parking space was a blessing and the apartment is well secured and there's even a safe for your valuables in the bedroom. We did need some help finding the place as our navigational system couldn't find it. Just make sure to ask for directions, but even with that said, people in town knew where we were staying, so it is likely if you just ask anyone for directions, they can help. Would definitely stay here again when we return to Corfu!

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!

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.
