Villa Chrysoula

Anthony and Julia were the perfect hosts. Anthony contacted us before the trip, met us at the villa and emptied the bins and cleaned the pool during our stay. The villa was a beautiful traditional build with a rustic feel and amazing outside spaces. There were two outdoor dining areas on different levels, one with a brick barbeque and on a third level a large swimming pool with sun loungers and a shaded table and chairs overlooking Kalami Bay. The pool and views were a highlight of the week and we spent many hours there every day. The pool lit up internally at night and was wonderful to swim in during the dark. The views over the bay with the restaurant and boats all lit up was also beautiful to enjoy with a drink or a swim. It was idyllic. Kalami Bay was a short walk down the hillside, approximately 10 minutes, but I would not recommend walking back up. At the bay are a series of bars and restaurants, the restaurants are the bars during the day, supermarkets, gift shops and various boat hires. We used many of these along the strip and our favourites are as follows; our favourite supermarket was called Super.b market; they could not have been more helpful and even drove us back to our villa after shopping; our favourite bar was on top of the Super.b market, very handy; our favourite boat trip was with George's Boat across to Corfu Town and our favourite restaurant, I cant remember the name, had a Greek night where you can eat, listen to Greek music and watch Greek dancers, magical.

Although the internet in the villa worked fine, none of us were able to use our phones during the trip. If this is important to you, check with your provider before you leave. You definitely need a car. Enjoy.

The pool and views are absolutely amazing. The villa was nice and clean and well equipped. Location is great next to all the lovely nearby towns and villages. Bedrooms were comfortable and air conditioned.

The walk to Kalami is easy. Take a taxi back, it’s worth the €20. All the restaurants were able to call one for us and we got a couple of cards too to arrange our own. Longest wait 15 mins.

Villa was a little tired but very well equipped

This villa is a hidden gem! The views were outstanding- Tony the host was very welcoming and provided us with local information for our stay. The pool area was private with fantastic views over Kalami. We loved the different terraces to have our morning coffee or evening meals. The beds were very comfortable as was the seating room. The kitchen facilities were outstanding along with 2 bathrooms and a brilliant bath/shower.

Some stray cats but these are out of the hosts control- just do not feed them and we were warned beforehand so no issues there.
