We had a wonderful stay here. The furnishings are beautiful and the covered terrace with its stunning sea view was perfect when you wanted to be out of the sun. Everything you could need was provided - the infinity pool was just perfect for cooling off and has the most amazing view too. We really appreciated the beautiful garden with its sculptures and beautiful plants and the great sound system for listening to music by the pool or when eating. The villa was very secluded with no near neighbours and yet close enough to the beach to walk down for a swim or a meal in one of the excellent tavernas. We hope to return!
Villa Castelli was simply superb. The lovely owners Bernard and Celine have created a rather large slice of heaven here. It is completely private with antique furnishings, paintings and architectural features which set it above the rest. The views from its fabulous plunge pool and terrace are beyond compare and its location at the top of a steep road is well worth the drive. The outdoor sound and lighting system meant we could enjoy a party every night without fear of disturbing neighbours. I cannot recommend this wonderful place enough.
Amazing stylish villa with top amenities & privacy
After a very careful research, we choose Castelli in Aria not only for its wonderful views, but also the large veranda upstairs which we thought it would be a great place to spend the day/night. From the start Bernard provided speedy response to our inquiry and gave us very detailed information on how to get there. The villa took our breath away the minute we arrived. What pictures cannot describe, was how wonderful the place is in the night! We spent all the evenings on the large veranda, gazing at the lights along the coastline below and the stars above, listened and danced to music coming from a fantastic sound system installed up there. It was heavenly. We also want to thank Bernard and Celine being a wonderful host, providing us detailed information about the taverns and sights to visit. The house' interior is also a stunning , top equipments, electronics and everything works beautifully. Also, the villa is totally private, which also made it very special. Thank you very much Bernard and Celine, we hope to return again soon!
Wir verbrachten 10 Tage in dieser auĂergewöhnlichen Villa voller Kunst und AntiquitĂ€ten und haben jeden Tag genossen. Der Blick vom Haus und Infinitypool aufs Meer und die albanische KĂŒste ist unglaublich! Viele Abende verbrachten wir auf den Sofas der ĂŒberdachten Terrasse mit dem phantastischen Soundsystem. Wir waren 3 Paare mit jeweils eigenem Bad und AuĂenbereich. Das ganze Anwesen ist sehr groĂzĂŒgig angelegt, sehr ruhig gelegen, weg vom Trubel an der KĂŒste und weg vom Autoverkehr. Die Fahrt zum nĂ€chsten Strand betrĂ€gt nur 10- 15 Minuten. Auch Tavernen und SupermĂ€rkte gibt es in der NĂ€he, erreichbar aber eher mit einem Auto als zu FuĂ, nicht zuletzt wegen des steilen Wegs zum Anwesen. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an unsere Gastgeber Celine und Bernard fĂŒr die wunderbare Betreuung! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!
If you get the chance to stay at this place ... GO FOR IT!!!
This villa is a very magical place and even more beautiful than the profile pictures might suggest.
The villa is located far above all other surrounding villas and villages, which gives you peace and quiet 24/7 - with one of the most stunning views across Corfu bay - sweeping from the Albanian coast in the east, Corfu in the south and the mountains of western Corfu. You will be enjoying the most amazing sun rises (in case you manage to get up early enough after cocktail fueled evening on the terrace) followed by stunning sun sets in the evening (best enjoyed with a cool drink at the pool).
The amenities are of the highest standard and as described.
The villa can be utilized in sections. The two of us stayed in the main house with full access to all outdoor areas, terrace and pool and whilst the villa is large, it is well laid out and does not feel too large either.
Celine and Bernard are the most amazing hosts and the love of their villa shows. Thank you for a very memorable experience!
Absolutely gorgeous villa with the most amazing view from the pool. Attention to detail is second to none, very secluded and private. Thankyou so much Raffael and Celine for everything
No picture or words can give the experience of staying at Castelli any justice. The villa has been created at a very high spec and it's location is amazing. It's very private with stunning views and lovely infinity pool. The veranda with great sound system made evenings with a drink spectacular. The warmness of Bernard and Celine made us feel very welcome and it was lovely that they wanted to make sure that our stay was memorable. Would highly recommend.
Staying at Castelli in Aria was a bliss. The villa is located in a great area of the island, quite and with beautiful beaches. In addition to a spectacular view, which you can enjoy from the infinite view pool (terrific!), the villa is delightfully furnished and equipped for any need: from the hifi stereo to the ice machine. You will need a car to reach restaurants, which are also really good in this area, or supermarkets. But if you are looking for relax, your holiday at Catelli in Aria will be amazing.
The villa was beautiful! The view is so wonderfull! The owners are very friendly and helpfull!! A nice area very quiet. Everything you need is there. We hope to come back!!! Greetings have a nice summer. Chantal and Chris
My wife and I stayed in this fantastic villa for a week in June/July 2014. I cannot recommend it enough. The owners are Bernard and Celine (both French) and they could not have been more helpful. They have had the villa for 5 years and renovated it themselves over a four year period! The finish on the villa is excellent - they have an ecclesiastical vibe going on, with a variety of items purchased from churches in France and shipped to Corfu. So what is good about the villa? i) the view is spectacular; ii) the location on the North East coast is great - by far the most attractive part of the island; iii) the quality of the finish on the villa is superb; iv) the privacy is excellent; v) the music system is brilliant; vi) bathrooms/showers/kitchen is very good; viii) the plunge pool is great with an amazing infinity view; ix) Bernard and Celine are lovely. What is bad about the villa? i) if you want to be in the centre of things, then you'll find this a little remote; ii) we found the bed a little hard.
The villa has only been available for just over a year and so everything is like new. It also means that they have been relatively few bookings - which is why I thought it would be nice to write this review! It is a magical place and the photos don't do it justice. Book it and have a great holiday!
