Wonderful family break in Corfu hills
We stayed end August 2020 as family of 4 in the Ruby Villa consisting of us parents and our 19 and 21 year old daughters for a week. We wanted something peaceful and unspoilt but within walking distance to a beach and with a pool and nearby public transport.
Ruby villa exceeded our expectations with the most incredible sunsets over the bay and a clean well equipped apartment with full sized cooker and fridge. To keep costs down we were able to eat out a-bit and sort our own meals.
Precautions where put in place to manage the covid situation with cleaning solutions and handgel near honesty bar etc. Local buses and shops have similar things in place to the uk with masks to be worn.
We really enjoyed our time at our villa and where able to relax swim and read books. There is a bus which is a short walk away which takes your to Corfu town which is worth visiting, old town is very nice and Corfu has a well stocked Lidl.
Our villa was clean and comfortable and we had little visits from a sweet little black cat, say hi from us!
The pools where well maintained and beautiful planting in the gardens.
We regard ourselves fairly fit but those who may not be so abled bodied will need a car as hills steep. Very hot this August so pack sun cream and remember mosquito spray ( deet ) as they come out in the evening to feast.
Also top tip due to being fairly remote I would do a shop after getting off plan at Lidl ( near airport) to stock up on basics, ice etc, we wished we had done that.
Our host Anya was fantastic and checked daily by WhatsApp to see if there was anything we needed and sorted airport transfers for us.
We hope to go back one day and hope Anya villas and others in Corfu service the impact of coronavirus on their businesses.
