Independent 2 bedroom cottage in Katia Beach Aparthotel gardens

Wonderful location within the locale of an aparthotel so all the amenities of the hotel but very private cottage. So close to the beach which was a real bonus.

We had a wonderful holiday at Katya’s villa. She was an excellent host looking after us and even picking us up from the supermarket! I would recommend a car for this villa if you want to visit larger sandier beaches than the 2 pebbles beaches in Corfu. Katya recommended a very reasonable car hire company who delivered and collected the car. Local shops and amenities great. Excellent night life for the young people staying with us. I would agree with previous reviewer that a book explaining a bit more about the house would be useful. Very small single person dishwasher which means if you want to cook in then you need to wash up. But wonderful helpful gardener and cleaner came every other day which was fantastic. Fresh well water provided every day also. Would definitely recommend but with a car. Boat trips are a must. Thank you Katya for your lovely villa!

We had a wonderful week in Corfu. We are a family of four. The house is old but very private, very clean and very charming with beautiful gardens. We loved having the pool. The views are amazing. Katia is a very warm and very helpful host. The house is close to old town of Kerkyra but you definitely need a car to get around.

Firstly I want to say how lovely Katia is, we arrived very late on our check in day - 1.30am to be precise! Katia was very patient and showed us the villa and we were pleasantly surprised. However the property is listed as a 4 bed, 3 bathroom property which we paid for quite handsomely. When we arrived Katia asked one of our guests to choose a room as we had only paid for 3 rooms, as we were so tired we didn’t question her reasoning but the next day we realised that she had locked one of the bathrooms and bedrooms saying we had only paid for 3 rooms, when in fact the listing states that we are renting the entire villa. The villa is lovely, pool great and location is in a very residential area, a car is a must without doubt. Katia resides next door and also entered the villa on a daily basis whilst we were out, rearranging the garden furniture and also entering internally. This left us slightly annoyed as we purposely rented a private villa not a shared Airbnb, returning from evening meals to find someone had been in the property left us slightly uneasy. There are several cats, which if allowed, would enter the villa - not great if you not a fan of cats! Also quite an amount of ants in the kitchen, so make sure ALL food is in the fridge, including your bread. Katia did stick the fridge with milk and few essential items. The villa itself was clean, but could have done with a declutter of personal items - tastes to suit. Also a folder with some house rules would be more helpful that being told you can’t use the BBQ etc. All in all we wouldn’t return as we felt like we shared the property with the owner and privacy wasn’t respected at all.
