Corfu Vacation Rental villa: Kassiopi

My family and I recently returned from two great weeks in Villa Eleni, in the picturesque village of Kassiopi. This was our fourth villa in North East Corfu and our expectations were high and we were not disappointed. Villa Eleni itself is a beautiful villa, fitted out to a very high standard on three levels, each room has its own character, there are numerous balconies and terraces, air conditioning throughout, with a beautiful and spacious living room. The kitchen is modern and spacious, as are all the bedrooms and bathrooms. The pool is the best we have used and enjoys the sun all day and there are wonderful views of the surrounding mountains, Kassiopi and the sea. Kassiopi is a lovely village, even so, they are continuing to improve the place with more parkland being added around the harbour area and a very attractive pedestrian scheme which is due to be completed in November 2009...it’s all good. The villas owners were also a great source of knowledge in terms of booking car hire, ferry tickets to Corfu Town (well worth a visit), etc. Ioannis, Keleigh and the team were excellent hosts, always there if you needed them but never in the way. They also own “Petrino’s” restaurant in the village which we dined in on four separate occasions, so that tells you something about our view place. Great food, great service and a great atmosphere...I can still taste the “Grilled Field Mushrooms” and “Folded Lamb” now! They were also big enough to recommend other competitor restaurants which I thought was very mature and when Ioannis recommended a place, it was always a good recommendation. We miss the place already...
