Comfortable villa with great views, in a charming Corfu location
This villa is in a great location, overlooking the lovely Kalami bay. We drove around north Corfu a bit during our stay and we really couldn't find anywhere as charming as this area. The villa is part of a larger complex (5-6 villas in total?). The complex has a very large pool and a large patio area, with fabulous views out to sea (we saw dolphins crossing the bay one night, fabulous). The complex is within easy walking distance of Kalami beach, local shops and restaurants (10 minutes walk max). The beach is great. Its not sandy, but its still easy to get into the sea, and the water is crystal clear so great for snorkelling. It also seemed to be more sheltered than other beaches on the island, and was stayed calm even when some other beaches on the island were a bit rough. There are other lovely swimming bays and great restaurants nearby (north and south) if you don't mind a short walk. The complex gets sun into relatively late into the evening, even though it's on the east side of the island. The host is very helpful... Jehanne responded immediately to all our questions/issues. The villa has 2 large balconies, overlooking the swimming pool and Kalami bay. Good showers. The bed mattresses were a bit too soft for my liking but still ok. The wi-fi was unreliable at times, but this seemed to be down to general internet issue on the island, rather than specific problems with the villa setup. Finally, suggest that the villa instructions are clearer on where to put the rubbish - needs to go in one of the public bins on the main road above the complex.
