Photos and Description of the Corfu vacation villa rental 3 &3 Bedrooms, 1 & 2 Bathrooms, Sleeps 6 & 7

Licensed by the Greek National Tourist Organisation, the Villa Mantis offers spacious and stylish accommodation. The covered front veranda and barbecue area provide plenty of outdoor room, overlooking the large, flower-filled lawned garden. Inside, the Villa boasts a high, vaulted ceiling creating a contemporary interior living space decorated with modern pieces by local artists. There are two twin rooms downstairs, with shower room, and the en suite double room upstairs. St George is a rather sleepy place which is totally child-friendly, safe and peaceful. Boasting some of the island's finest tavernas, you will never be far from delicious Greek food and the 7 miles of Blue Flag winning sandy beaches and crystal waters will please all those wishing to swim, toast or simply doze. A holiday at the Villa Mantis provides easy enjoyment in a village setting, next to the bluest seas. We are always nearby should you need anything or simply want a recommendation for the best local wine.

St George (Argirades) is situated in the quietest corner of Corfu but boasts the finest sandy beaches and sapphire seas. Never colonised by the big holiday companies, St George retains a sense of Corfu of a more laid back time gone by. The bars and tavernas are still run by local villagers and offer a genuine and friendly welcome - most visitors and locals have a siesta in the afternoon and no one will be harassing you to buy into time shares or go on expensive excursions! Your family will soon get to know their local shopkeepers and beach brolly renters and St George is child-friendly and totally safe. There are wonderful restaurants serving authentic Greek food - from the simple taverna to the more elaborate fish specialists. The beaches offer most watersports including windsurfing & skiing and there are also 6 or 7 freshwater pools to enjoy within the village. St George has something for everyone - great beaches, real Greek food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly people.

Cookery Courses at Villas: After many years of entertaining our guests and their positive feedback, we have recently begun running Greek Cookery Courses based at our villas. Combining the fun of a Corfu Villa house party and the pleasure of enjoying the delights of real Greek food, our courses are a week long and include accommodation as well as all the cookery demonstrations, ingredients and at least one meal each day. The holiday is tailored to provide guests with plenty of time to explore the island, swim and sunbathe but we have arranged gloriously laid back, inclusive meals at wonderful tavernas, boat trips and even barbecues! We will not only cook food together but will eat and drink in good company for the week. Contact us for further details and departure dates.

Corfu The Island : Corfu (or Kerkyra, as it is known in Greek)is a beautiful and lush island set in the azure Ionian Sea. As well as offering some of the finest beaches and waters in the Mediterranean, there is a fascinating mix of history, elegance, tradition and culture to explore. As islanders ourselves, we would encourage our guests to find the time to leave the beach a little, and discover quiet, hillside villages where time has stood still, a wealth of small but delightful museums, a stylish cafe culture, fabulous shopping and breathtakingly beautiful countryside. We would be happy to point you in the right direction for a perfect deserted beach, the best silversmiths in town, the finest waterside fish taverna or to a simple picnic spot on the mountain. Whether you'd like a day's sailing, a round of golf or directions to the nearest monastery, we're there to help.

Travel On Corfu : So that you will be able to see as much of Corfu as you can whilst visiting, we would recommend you hire a car for part of your stay. Road signs are in Greek and English and are easy to follow. For those who prefer not to drive whilst on holiday, the rural bus service between St George and Corfu Town is reliable and inexpensive (air conditioned coaches). We know our local taxi drivers well and they would also be happy to take you where you need to go. Moped and motorbike hire should be considered with caution - if you are not used to travelling by bike it can be somewhat hazardous and helmets must be worn by law. You can travel to mainland Greece and neighbouring islands by ferry from Corfu Town (but there are also delightful one day boat trips from St George available).

Other Activities: Boat trips, Jet Ski, Fine Tavernas and Food

The Villa Mantis ... a perfect getaway

MarikaS London, UK
Review Submitted: February 3, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
I stayed at the Villa Mantis just after finishing law school, when I really needed to relax and change gears, and the Villa was perfect.

The Villa Mantis is even more beautiful than the pictures indicate. While I stayed with others and so didn't get to sleep in the Master Bedroom (I was green with envy), all of the beds were made up with crisp, cool linens and the villa was well-shaded and blessed with refreshing breezes, night and day. I particularly loved the open plan kitchen/living area (all was impeccably clean), as well as the BBQ and the taverna across the road. It turns out that so much of the experience of Greece comes through your tastebuds! There are also a number of other great restaurants and bars (and little local shops) within easy distance, and yet you still feel far away from it all.

And if you're looking for a little sun and sand, the beach is just a very short walk away, and it is glorious. Not only a great place to let the sunshine ease your muscles or go for some of the best sea swimming I've ever experienced, but also, if you're game, try parasailing, jetskiing or any number of other watersports. Again, despite the wide range of activities on offer, the beach does not seem overcrowded, and each activity has its place on the water.

But all of it pales with the Greek hospitality. We were enchanted to be transferred from the airport by the Villa's owner, Nikos, a lovely Greek man with impeccable English, a mischievous grin and an obvious passion for this island. Nikos also checked in with us a few times over the course of our stay, but always unobtrusively. However, and perhaps this is just natural Greek friendliness, but we did get the feeling that the whole village was looking out for us!

I have very fond memories of my time in St. George and I look forward to sharing the Villa Mantis with my husband and family in the very near future. I recommend it without hesitation.

Enjoy!
Owner's Response: Nothing gives us greater pleasure that for our guests to leave Corfu feeling they've been welcomed and taken care of. We very much enjoy sharing recommendations for good tavernas, where to buy the nicest village wine and where the finest pastries can be found, as well as pointing out some off the beaten track places of interest. We remember Marika's visit and feel sure we'll have the pleasure of her company again one day. Thank you for the nice comments...............Nikos and Annabelle
