This is a wonderful base for a holiday exploring the beauty of Corfu. The villa nestles right on the water, with 5 different outdoor seating areas, all looking out to the crystal clear sea - and even a small beach and private jetty, so you can easily experience the wonder of swimming in such an unspoilt spot and quiet beach. We didn't make use of the paddle boards and fishing equipment, but I can see how much fun that would add to a family staying here.
The villa is superbly equipped, with everything you need and Hugh and Daniella are extremely good hosts, standing at the gate to meet us (even though we were an hour late!) and having made sure we had all the necessities for our first night. The beds are comfortable (so important!) and the whole space is well laid out and thoughtfully decorated - can't fault it.
The small town of Benitses is a short bus ride away - so you don't even need to hire a car. The bus service is pretty good and easy to follow with real time updates online. There are a number of lovely bars and restaurants there and we had some really good meals.
You need to be careful on the road that the villa is on, its quite busy and there aren't any pavements, so just take care. That said, its only a short walk to the bus stop, so easy to do. We took a round the island coach trip which enabled us to see a lot more of the island and was good fun. We also tried the boat trip to the caves, Paxos and Antipaxos - beautiful scenery but we weren't impressed with the tour company, so go with someone other than Corfu Cruises - there are other boats available! Old Corfu Town is also well worth exploring - you can easily get there on just one bus and we had a beautiful Asian meal in a restaurant overlooking the harbour.
All in all this was the perfect trip - beautiful weather, beautiful scenery and beautiful villa - would highly recommend.
