Spectacular views, extremely charming pristine villa, old world charm with all modern conveinces, prettier than photo
The photos of this property do not reflect how absolutely charming it actually is! We landed in the evening where the owners of the villa met us at the airport and not only escorted us to the property but also joined us on the way for a delicious late night dinner where we enjoyed the first of many traditional Greek meals. The drive to the villa was through remote, NARROW, mountain roads so their care and hospitality was greatly appreciated! We arrived to find an absolutely lovely stone villa, completely designed and built with by the owners with every attention to detail! There are hardwood floors, stone walls inside and out and bedrooms with bedding designed with comfort in mind. Large bathrooms and bedrooms were designed with old world charm while equipped with all modern conveniences, including towel warmers and monogrammed towels. We woke in the morning to the most magnificent sunrise and then began to explore the Island. Again, the owners offered to show us around on our first day and we gladly accepted! This beautiful Island is filled with historical sites, beautiful beaches, delicious local food and spectacular views! You will feel as if you have stepped back in time and entered a place where life is simple, that is until you visit Corfu town where you wonder where all those cars could have possibly come from! When driving beware that roads are narrow and typically have no street names. A GPS is essential! Don't forget your insect repellant because the entire Island seems to have an abundance of yellow jackets that the locals don't seems to notice! If you are adventuresome at heart we recommend taking advantage of the warm hospitality of the owners of this villa and the beauty of this delightful Island!
We've just returned from a family vacation at this spectacular property and all three generations agree this was a beautiful, unique and lovely vacation. We've travelled to many parts of Europe but this was our first time in Greece, and Corfu was a great choice (Oct weather was nice and we made it just before the end of the tourist season so restaurants were still open). Owners Stamatis & Eri were extremely helpful and every recommendation for the area they made was a great experience. The house is so beautiful and the views are as far as the eye can see, at the top of the hill surrounded by olive orchards and endless rolling hills. It feels remote at first, yet getting to all of the desired sight-seeing areas was easy once we learned the island. Thank you for creating such a great experience and sharing it with us!
If you want to experience true paradise before you die, come to this gorgeous villa. We pinched ourselves every morning as we sat on the lovely deck eating breakfast with a stunning view of the garden and the sea. This house is perfection in every way! Korinna has thought of every detail to ensure her guests' comfort and pleasure, including her charming caretakers who never intrude but keep the house and grounds spotless and are right there in case of a question. Who needs a restaurant when you have everything you need for wonderful meals in this gorgeous home, including a BBQ, and a dining room of stars and ocean views! As if that weren't enough, Korinna has to be the most generous and attentive hostess in all of Greece. She voluntarily arranged a taxi for us to get from the ferry to the airport in time for the next leg of our journey. She is a genuinely kind and caring person. And all of this for such a reasonable price! Thanks to Korinna, we experienced a week of royalty and dream of returning.
We had the most amazing time in Villa Helias with our three young kids aged 2, 4 and 6! The smell in the air, the view over the beach and the peace and quiet are unbeatable. The house is very spacious and kept clean and tidy. The hosts are wonderful people that make your wishes come true! The close by village is how one imagines true Greece without the tourist traps and at the same time you can find all you need within minutes. Even a great organic store with local produce. The closest beach is a 5min drive and you don't need to go further as it's stunning. Absolute Bliss!
We traveled to Andros last May with our two young children aged 3 and 6. The villa was absolutely stunning with beautiful views over to the ocean. The place was kept spotlessly clean and our villa host responded promptly to all our requests. The decor was very tasteful throughout and the villa was spacious with a large outdoor garden area and a nice pool. The kitchen was fully equipped and nicely done with all the appliances you need. The secluded beach was about a 5 minute drive away and was gorgeous with calm waters where we would at times see lots of little fish. The marina of Andros was close to the villa as well and had a lot of little tavernas and stores to browse. We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back!
