About this property

Cosy House and Studio with Garden and Views to the Sea

Charming traditional house which sits on a hill above the pretty villag of Karousades. There are magnificent sea and mountain views from the balcony, a great place to enjoy your morning coffee! The ground floor features a build-in kitchen and dining area plus a bathroom/shower. Wooden stairs lead to the spacious bed/living room on the first level which features a double bed and a settee and leads to the balcony.

The property includes a separate studio opposite which was recently refurbished and combined is ideal for 2 couples to share or a family to spread out. The studio has its own sleeping are, shower and kitchenette.
At the back of the studio is a large shady veranda and garden where one can ralax away from the midday heat or enjoy open air living in the evening. From the house it is just a 5 min walk to the village centre with bakery, pharmacy, tavernas and a supermarket. Karousades is a very traditional village and the residents are very friendly and helpful. We have often come home to find fresh vegtables or fruit on the door-step.
The property is under two miles from the peaceful sandy beach at Astrakiri where there are a 3 excellent restaurants with beautiful sea views.

Karousades is perfectly located to explore the North of the island. Whilst there is a bus service to Corfu town and local towns you will get the most from your stay if you hire a car or scooter. There are local agencies for hiring vehicles in Rhoda and Acharavi or from the airport. Its best to book in advance in the high season as otherwise you coud miss out!

Corfu is also called the green island becaue of its extensive green olive groves which help to make the place feel cool and produces the tasty local olive oil. There are estimated to be well over three million olive trees being cultivated, covering roughly a third of the Island.

The north of Corfu is renowned for its beautiful sandy beaches. Hire a car or a scooter and take a tour of the North and its many magnificent beaches or go West to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the sea.

Ein perfekter Urlaub...

Karroussades und das Ferienhaus haben genau das geboten, was wir uns erhofft haben! Ein malerisches, kleines Dorf mit kleinen Häusern und engen Gässchen, angenehm untouristisch, obwohl wir wirklich mitten in der Hauptsaison (Anfang August) dort waren. Total ruhig und beschaulich, trotzdem gibts neben netten Tavernen alle Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, die man braucht, um den täglichen Bedarf zu decken. Und das in 5 Minuten Fußweg :-) Zum Strand (Yialos Beach) sinds zu Fuß rund 20 Minuten - er ist zwar klein, dafür aber auch ausgesprochen wenig besucht und ruhig... Direkt daneben unsere LIeblingstaverne: Taverna Yialos - supernette BesitzerInnen, wunderbares Essen und ausgesprochen gemütlich. Das Haus - klein aber fein - ist hübsch renoviert, freundlich eingerichtet und mit allem Nötigen ausgestattet. Der Balkon ist zwar recht klein - die Aussicht ist dafür aber wunderschön... Fazit: Wir hatten wunderbar entspannende zwei Urlaubswochen, haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und sind sehr angenehm ohne fahrbaren Untersatz ausgekommen. Allerdings sollte man schon recht gut zu Fuß sein und gerne gehen, da doch einiges an Höhenmetern zu überwinden ist! Die Busverbindungen sind typisch griechisch :-), man erreicht aber auf jeden Fall sein Ziel - Ausflüge nach Sidari (wohin wir wegen des Bankomaten mussten - sonst spricht aber nichts dafür...) oder auch Korfu Stadt sind daher leicht möglich.

A real 'away from it all' relaxing holiday

We were met and showed to the cottage and first impressions were slightly apprehensive.....due to location. But once we had settled in and got our bearings we absolutley loved both the house and it's location. Sidari was just a short drive away for the odd evening out and a tribute show or two! Lots of nice traditional places to eat within easy reach.

An amazing find!

We were so pleased to find this beautiful little house in a village amongst the locals far away from the tourist resorts- real Corfu! The property is a traditional stone building restored very lovingly inside. Modern, clean & having all that you need. The views from the house are amazing of the distant hills and sea and you wake up each morning to see such wonders from the kingsize bed! The nearest beach and taverna serving excellent food is 5 minutes drive away. Our favourite beach was at Agni bay- such clear warm water & the sight of little fish swimming round your ankles! Your own transport is a must so that you can explore this beautiful island. We would thoroughly recommend this property & hope to return again.

Our perfect holiday

We found this beautiful apartment online while looking for a place to stay on Corfu Island. We wanted something a little bit off “the beaten path”, away from the main tourist hangouts, large enough for two, fairly close to the coast and with cooking facilities. We were definitely not disappointed – it even exceeded our expectations! This apartment is both romantic and cosy and a good size for one or two people. One can buy anything one needs in downtown Karousades, which is about a 5 minute walk away. Definitely try the bread from the local bakery! The facilities are good and we cooked for ourselves the entire two and a half weeks we were there. We were there in the off season, but one can tell from the feel of the town that it is not frequented as often by tourists, even during the high season (in contrast to the towns on the coast, such as Sidari). A reason for this may be that Karousades is on a fairly steep hill, which isn’t to be underestimated when planning to go out. There are bus stops nearby, but we never took them and we didn’t find out the schedules. We were here with our bikes, which we only recommend if one is fit, as the northern part of the island is very hilly. It was a good work out though ;). For those wanting to get out of the house often we would recommend having a car. When we had questions about the apartment, the service was always very quick and to our full satisfaction. The view from balcony is absolutely gorgeous and makes up for it being a bit narrow. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment and would definitely recommend it to others!

Unterkunft vorzeitig verlassen

Unsere Erwartung, Vorstellungen wurden leider nicht erfüllt. Wir wollten 14 Tage verweilen, sind aber leider vorzeitig umgezogen in eine andere Unterkunft. Der Ausblick vom Balkon ist herrlich. Die Unterkunft für einfache Ansprüche und für 2 Personen ist ok. Wir hatten leider extreme Rückenschmerzen nach einigen Nächten auf dem Bett. Leider war auch die angrenzende Terrasse nicht zu nutzen, insgesamt ungepflegt und die Kissen und Auflagen schimmelig. Wir hätten uns auch gewünscht, dass mit unserer Beschwerde anders umgegangen wäre. Wir können den Aufenthalt in diesem Ferienobjekt nicht weiterempfehlen. Es gibt wesentlich bessere Möglichkeiten für das Budget.

About the host

Hosted by Simon Lloyd- Dickinson

I live and work in Switzerland and enjoy splitting my time between here and Corfu. i enjoy Switzerland for the mountains and Corfu for the beaches and more relaxed way of life! For me, Corfu has always been the place where I let go of the rat-race and escape to another world with a very slow pace of life.

Why they chose this property

In Karousades you get to live in the village and meet its people. You get a much greater intimacy with the culture and the simple life away from the tourist hotspots. It is right in the middle of the North coast so you can wake up and choose to go East towards Kassiopi or West towards Agios Georgios beach. Or just stay local and go down to the beach and hang out at one of the 3 great beach restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Last year we extended the balcony so you can sit outside in comfort for your morning coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine. The view from up there is panoramic from the sea to the mountains across acres of Olive groves. Enjoy!
