We enjoyed our stay in this lovely stone cottage which was cool inside despite unusually hot weather (36/37 degrees) for much of the week that we were there. The house had air conditioning in the bedrooms but we didn't need to use this except for short periods of time.
The house was quite small but well designed to accommodate two comfortable bedrooms with adequate storage space, a bathroom, and a kitchen, dining area and sitting area. Best of all was a covered patio with comfortable table and chairs, as well as loungers to place under the olive trees in the garden (or in the sun when it wasn't too hot!). Wifi was good though its connection to the internet was not always good but this seemed an efficient connection compared with some other experiences in other parts of the island.
The friendly owner came to greet us and provided a welcome pack of water, wine and basic breakfast groceries. Having a spacious garden and the location just off a quiet lane, meant that it was peaceful and relaxing. The local beach was not far - just over 1km, and by walking along the shore you could reach some very empty parts of the beach, which stretched some 3 or 4km towards a further 3 km of Chalikounas beach joined by a footbridge. Walking around lake Korission - a protected wildlife area behind the beach, and around the mountain village of Chlomos nearby were pleasant evening walks. There were also good local retaurants, one at the entrance to Issou beach, and another - Bioporos - cooking its own organic produce, where you could view the sunset over the lake and then watch the stars courtesy of the owner's sophisticated telescope (and his knowledeable information). There's a small shop within walking distance but a car is advisable as it's several kms to supermarkets or if you want to visit other places. So between beach swimming, relaxing at the house, walking, and visiting a few local sights, other beaches and villages, we could have stayed much longer in this comfortable house. We made a few suggestions about equipment and information for the house which the owner was pleased to receive. With these additions we'd give this property a 5*. If we return to Corfu we'd love to stay here again.
