An idyllic five days
This is a truly magnificent property in a stunning setting. The welcome we received from Stephen was lovely - including from his gorgeous and gentle animals (absolutely not something to worry about if you happen not to like dogs and cats - they don’t intrude). He met us in Acharavi and led us up the hill to the cottage. When we arrived it really is like something from a film set. We cooked on the bbq, whilst drinking cocktails watching the sun set over the Mediterranean. And then we sat under the vines and enjoyed lazy dinners. The location in the hills sets off the most amazing view - which was breathtaking each and every time we looked!. The cottage itself is gorgeous. Each bedroom is beautiful and the kitchen is well stocked. Pool is great - just large enough to have a swim - with that amazing view. No faults at all. But you definitely do need a car - it’s a drive up the hill from Acharavi and then steep road to the cottage. Well worth it. I’d rush to go back.

Our mamamia villa, we loved it
Just like a movie setting... really thoughtfully decorated, with good taste. Homely feeling to it all. We appreciated the details cleaning during the week, fresh towels, ‘greentea lemon’ scented bath shower soap even with a bodymilk ;) So nice. The view is breathtaking and corfu a lovely island to explore. We surely recommand this property, you have enough privacy and also can share good talks and wine with your friends on the porch. Kids loved the pool too. Thank you for everything. Rgds Kim

Well maintained. Traditional, utilitarian Kitchen. Well appointed outside areas
Uniquely situated, fantastic views, very tranquil in a small community-the whole family loved it. Steve who lives locally very good on advice and help. Martina gave us a delightful welcome and reliable local recommendations. Definitely small ish car or jeep as long winding hillside track through the olive groves, but you soon master it. Would thoroughly recommend to all those who love traditional Corfu.

A little piece of heaven!
We enjoyed one of the most relaxing and peaceful holidays we have ever had at Castelli Cottage. We booked very early and unbeknown to us, Stamatia had worked like mad all through the winter and spring to upgrade this delightful old house inside and out, providing more shaded sitting out areas and installing a further terrace with a delightful pool. Everything went smoothly right from our arrival with great communication both with Stamatia and her neighbours Stephen and Maggie who were really helpful and friendly. We were also befriended by a couple of the village cats and dogs who were never a nuisance but sometimes liked to loll around in the shade keeping us company. As soon as we arrived we dropped all our plans for driving out to visit old haunts around the island and spent a delightful week lounging by the pool and enjoying the stunning views over the north west of the island, watching the birds, barbecuing and reading. Acharavi was an easy 10 minute drive for excellent shops when we needed supplies! People have mentioned the track up to the Cottage but it's fine as long as you don't have too big a car. Finally, we had the luxury of having Castelli Cottage to ourselves but since Stamatia has now renovated the adjoining Olive Press with the same immaculate taste as is evident throughout the property, Castelli would also be great for extended family groups or perhaps for art or walking groups too. We are already wondering who we might like to share this little piece of heaven with another time. Thank you Stamatia for a wonderful holiday.

Perfect house for a 3-generation family reunion
As charming and comfortable as the photos suggest. Separate entrances for all but two rooms also gave each of our family subgroups extra privacy, while the large and comfortable common areas provided plenty of space to gather, play fishbowl, or read and relax together. PERFECT. And Stephen, Maggie, and John were so attentive and welcoming!
