Cute functional villa walking distance to most places in Palaeostrits. Jane is a warm, interesting and knowledgeable host who can provide great advice for things to do, places to see and really nice restaurants. The villa is clean and has most everything you could want.

The stay was a highlight of our two-month holiday in Greece. The villa was exceptional, set in the most beautiful grounds and so close to the sea and incredible beaches. The views from the terrace, of the ocean and surrounding mountains, were spectacular. The convenience of the villa to local supermarkets, and bus stops, made our stay so easy. Jane and Malcolm were incredible hosts, providing so many tips and going above and beyond to make our stay truly memorable. The villa has everything to make the stay very comfortable. We hope to be back one day to stay again.

Fantastic stay

We stayed for 4 nights recently with our family including 2 boys aged 6 and 11. We met Jane on the first night who gave us the rundown on the property and the location, we had a lovely chat out on the balcony with beautiful views out over the sea. The property had everything we needed and some lovely homely touches - Jane was always on hand to advise of restaurants and her recommendations were spot on. Thoroughly recommend.

Perfect

Jane was very helpful even before we arrived. Great directions and then a very warm welcome. The house is perfect, clean, quiet and perfectly situated. . The bed was amazing - so comfortable. It was lovely to have so many patios to choose from and a beautiful garden to enjoy. Of course I must also mention the sun patio with the most incredible view over the town and sea. We would definitely recommend and would love to return.

Wish we could've stayed longer

Villa Stephanie was perfect for us. Jane and her husband Malcolm were charming; they made sure we had everything we needed plus suggestions for day trips, hikes and restaurants. The kitchen was fully functional; the bed was a lovely king size and there was a comfortable sitting area to relax in. But best of all was the amazing view down to the ocean from the top deck.

Wonderful stay in Corfu!

We had a very wonderful time in Corfu. The Villa was very beautifully maintained and had an incredible view from the patio over the bay. Jane the owner was always very receptive to any questions that we had before our visit.Yvonne and her husband were likewise very cordial and helped us with any problems that we had. Corfu is indeed a very beautiful island and we will always remember our time there. Hats off to Jane and Yvonne for providing us with a memorable vacation!

The hosts with the most

Incredible place to stay in Corfu. The cottage itself was well appointed and spacious, and a shared deck with a beautiful view of Corfu. But the best part of the stay are the hosts, who go out of their way to welcome you; they are very outgoing and just love to meet travelers, and are just the sweetest (and most interesting) people. When I think of our stay in Corfu, we did many things on the island that were great, but I always think of the hosts as a highlight of the trip. And her kumquat marmalade was delectable!

Fabulous place and host!

I stayed at Villa Nova for a week. The villa was beautiful and Jane was such a brilliant host (Helping her out with phone charger, brolly and suggestions on restaurants/ beaches etc). The location is perfect - a short walk to the beaches and lots of lovely tavernas and Grocery shops. The villa was spotless, soft towels, fully equipped kitchen (plus a bottle of wine, bread, milk, fruit, honey and hot drinks left for me on arrival;)) The garden and terraces are beautiful and perfect for relaxing over breakfast and in th3 evenings. I would stay again without a doubt and 100% recommend the villa. Thank you to Jane;)

Fabulous, relaxing, recommended

We loved this place. Fantastic views in a great location overlooking the bay. Brilliant villa with everything you need, fully equipped kitchen so perfect for the family. It also has the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on. I want that bed!!! Jane is a fantastic host. There was nothing she didn’t help with or advise us on. If you want to go to Corfu make this the place you stay at. You will not be disappointed. We hope to go back. Thanks again Jane. Missing it everyday day!!

Really nice

We spent 2 weeks in villa Stephanie and really enjoyed it. The Villa has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a US Kitchen. it's not that big but the outdoor is really nice, we had lunch and dinner outside thanks to the the so sunny weather and the BBQ! The swimming_pool of the hotel is really nearby and the beaches are not faraway (by foot with 2 children was really easy!). The house is cleaned several times perweek by Yvonne that is really nice and helpful. The owner jane is relly nice and gives all informations needed. If you search paradse, i just recommend this villa. If you want a good homemade restaurant : right after Paleo direction Glifada the restaurant is 8-10 km on the left of this road (not the one next to kart cross but the one just after) and the name is A?xóvri??a : just perfect and so tasty and the women is so nice and funny !

A week of peace and quiet

My wife, daughter and I were looking for a week of peace and quiet and found it at Villa Nola. An easy walk to the beach every day for my wife and daughter while I stayed at the villa and worked on my laptop via the Wi-Fi connection. An idyllic setting and not even traffic noise to disturb me. An excellent choice of local tavernas within walking distance many offering great seafood menus. The walk back up the hill to the villa was short and sharp so not too demanding and a small price to pay for the view. We weren't looking for sightseeing, culture or nightlife - just quiet rest. We didn't bother hiring a car and a 1 hour boat trip round the bay was the furthest we went so I can't comment on the rest of Corfu. The only downer all week was England's abysmal display against Algeria watched on the big screen in the Odysseus' bar!

Wonderful villa, amazing views

Villa Stephanie is a real home from home - so comfortable and well-kitted out with everything you need to self-cater on holiday - full-size fridge freezer, well-equipped kitchen and efficient washing machine - also super comfortable, massive bed. But it’s the outside space that makes Villa Stephanie truly amazing. There’s a choice of two patio areas and gorgeous garden with table and chairs in the shade of olive trees surrounding the villa, plus a spacious veranda with a view over the bay. Stepping up here after a day of walking in the hills never failed to take our breath away! Jane is a wonderful host, always on hand (both before and during our stay) with advice and information, but never intrusive. We’ve rented several Greek villas in the past and Villa Stephanie has been the most wonderful by miles! Thanks so much Jane. We’ve only been back for a day and we are already trying to plan when we can come back!

Perfect insight into Greek life.

From the initial enquiry, through the build up, arrival, stay and departure, Jane makes everything so easy and a real pleasure. Jane and Malcolm strike the perfect balance between provision of the support and guidance that you need as a new visitor to the area; and the freedom and space you desire to enjoy the wonderful villa, gardens and surroundings. The villa oozes Corfiot charm, with everything you need for a comfortable break. The AC in both lounge and bedroom were a god send at times, as were the shutters, blinds and fly screens. The gardens are wonderful, aromatic and full of wildlife. With so many areas to choose from, we preferred to relax on the top terrace with a choice of sun or shade, wonderful views over the sea and no mosquitoes. :-) Paleokastritsa is a lovely village with so much to offer. We were surprised just how many tavernas and swimming spots there were to choose from. Jane's recommendations were spot on throughout the fortnight we were staying. Our highlights were Nikos, Spiros & Gran Aladino. If you have a car, or fancy a walk up the donkey path towards Lakones, Il Pozzo has amazing food, backed up by stunning views down to Paleokastritsa and the sea. Jane delivered everything that she promised Villa Stephanie would offer and a whole lot more. We have returned to the UK so relaxed and wouldn't hesitate to visit Jane again if we decide we need to unwind.

Lovely, peaceful holiday

My partner and I stayed at Villa Stephanie for a week at the end of June and had a lovely holiday. The property cannot be faulted, everything is there for you and the surrounding gardens are gorgeous and give it a peaceful, secluded feel. We were welcomed to the villa be Yvonne who put us straight at ease, organised when would be best for her to come and clean during the week and gave us her mobile number in case we had any questions - we did and these were answered very promptly. The are is easily walkable and if you follow the path down, turn right and keep walking past the boat hire centre you will come to Kathys supermarket which is considerably cheaper than the supermarket just around the corner from the villa steps. Continuing past Kathy's is the beach on your left hand side -and despite getting busy the beach is clean and the water is beautiful - turquoise. At the far side of the beach is a section of sun loungers which are owned by the restaurant and costs 7 euros for two sun loungers and a parasol and they will also bring you out a big bottle of cold water. There are tavernas just at the bottom of the steps of the path from the villa or you can walk further afield to bigger restaurants, though we were completely happy with the ones we visited close by - Horizon, Belvedere, Smurfs. We also had a BBQ one night using the big BBQ in the garden. One cloudy day we got the bus into Corfu town, it was only a couple of euros each and the bus stop with timetable is opposite the bottom of the steps leading up to the villa. If you do got to Corfu town, I would highly recommend visiting the British Cemetery - it is set in beautiful gardens and the inscriptions are so moving. It feels so calm and tranquil after the hustle and bustle of Corfu Town. We also walked up the donkey path to the village of Lakones, which is a hot and dusty walk up but the views are well worth it and it is downhill on the way back anyway!! We also walked up to the monastery which i s a nice sight and across to St Nicholas's panoramic hill. You can also hire boats for the day but I would just say be wary of Mario who runs this, he is out to get any money he can, and changes from friendly to menacing quickly, if things do not go his way. All in all, we had a fantastic week at this villa and thoroughly recommend the villa and area! Thanks again to Yvonne for all her help whilst we were there and Jane for making the booking process smooth and easy and to George the taxi man!

excellent séjour chez Jane

Nous avons passé une semaine très douce et très agréable chez Jane, qui nous a reçu avec gentillesse, pleine d'attentions et de renseignements utiles pour séjourner. Sa maison est un petit coin de paradis perché dans la baie de Paleokastritsa, avec une vue à couper le souffle! La maison est fonctionnelle, tout ce qu'il faut pour y séjourner, le lit double est digne d'un hotel 4* et les petits recoins du jardin sont très agréables selon les moments de la journée ou du soir. Nous recommandons vivement ce lieu!

Set amongst the beautiful hills and minutes from countless coves and beaches

Janes villa is set on the lower hills at Paleokastritsa. It has pretty gardens and various terraces, one of which has the most beautiful views over the marina, sea and various coves and rolling coastline. The villa itself is simple yet comfortable, and Jane had, on our arrival supplied us with fresh bread, cold water, juice, milk coffee etc. Jane herself has known Paleokastritsa getting on for 50 years, so can give plenty of information and advice, if wanted, on where to visit and how to spend your time. She is a person full of character and stories, well travelled, and clearly enjoys having guests, without beginning invasive. Whilst there, I felt home from home. We enjoyed the tavernas and restaurants, a local bus trip into Corfu Town - which I loved, and boat trips to the caves and Limni beach. The atmosphere is laid back and simple. The people friendly and easy going. It isn't 5 star glamour, but you do have a sense of being part of it, not just a tourist! I like that! Please note my comments are made during Covid

Wonderful stay on Corfu

A great location for our 2 night stay on Corfu. We did not rent a car so being able to walk to interesting destinations was important. Jane was wonderfully helpful in giving us advice on where to walk, where to eat, etc. The town itself was perfect for our wind-down from a hiking trip in the Zagori and Meteora region of Greece. The accommodations were nice and the elevated patio (seen in the photo on VRBO) is lovely. Jane is a very interesting person and we greatly enjoyed our conversations with her. Thank you Jane!

Amazing location, clean and comfortable villa and excellent hospitality.

The villa is clean and very homely. It has a well equipped kitchen and positioned in a nice peaceful location up on the mountains. The patio has an excellent view to the sea. It’s easy to get to the beaches with a short walk. Jane was a great host, she gave us many tips about places to visit and was readily available if we needed anything. We would definitely come stay again.

Great villa with a world class host!

Jane is the best host I have ever had! She was very welcoming and helped us in every aspect during our trip. She was always there for us whenever we needed help and went the extra mile for anything we asked! She helped us find great spots to eat and where to go around Paleocastritsa. The villa itself is amazing! It has all the amenities you could possibly need. We was a group of friends and slept very comfortably there. The view on the upper terrance is magnificent. You have a panoramic view of the sea, which takes your breath away! You can literally sit there for hours taking it all in! The location of the villa is ideal if you want to stay in Paleocastritsa. The main beach is a short walk from the villa as well as many restaurants. The bus stop is also a 2 minute walk which connects you to Corfu Town, which was ideal for us as we had to catch a coach to Athens from there. If you are planning in having a great villa surrounded by breathtaking views, I highly recommend Villa Stephanie!
