About this property

Venetian Olive Press with dramatic sea views

This property is a renovation of a former four hundred year old Venetian Olive Press, which was the main press in the village. It has been renovated using traditional buildings methods, combining a traditional exterior such as limestone plastering, with a more contemporary interior finished in a soft palette of colours, offset by the original cypress wood floor and double height space. There is also a courtyard garden, overflowing with scented flowers and shrubs such as jasmine, great for alfresco dining. The views are extensive south facing to the sea with the mountains of Albania beyond.

Beautiful setting and view
We had a lovely week at the Olive Press villa. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with an incredible view over the valley towards the sea. Everything we needed for barbecueing outside and we really appreciated the welcome pack and fresh veg. The villa is in a lovely traditional Greek village in the mountains, you really feel away from it all, very quiet and peaceful. We were really lucky to go to the village fete on our last evening. Fiona was very friendly and helpful - thanks for a lovely stay.

Lovely house and views, but flawed.
A beautiful house with stunning sunsets and views of Albania. It is modern and comfortable in its furnishings and the air conditioning is welcome after a hot day. It is very clean and we had a welcome basket of local produce when we arrived. Another basket appeared halfway through the week, which was a pleasant surprise. The garden terrace is peaceful for dining in the evening or sitting out in the morning, as the sun doesn't hit it until about midday. Acharavi has a lot to offer with beaches, restaurants and shops. If you have a car the coast is great to explore and Corfu town is only an hour away over the mountains. The road however leading to the property is a single track with very few passing places and full of treacherous potholes. It is a slow climb in first gear and if you meet another car then it can be quite hair raising as reversing into an olive grove or trying not to drop over the edge of the mountain is tricky. As it is a rural location the water has a tendency to go off at a moment's notice. It went off 4 times in one week for us and once for 48 hours, which was pretty annoying when you have plates to wash, toilets to flush and clothes to wash. Using bottled water and a kettle was not what I paid for. The last time was the final morning before we left for the airport, my son had a shower then the water cut out, so the rest of us were left hot and sticky until we reached the UK. Having spoken to those that holiday and live there it is a common occurrence, but I had no prior knowledge of it (or the road), so I felt that the property was misrepresented. It really spoiled the holiday for us and I was looking to relocate at one point as we were all getting very fractious with the whole situation. Such a shame, if the property were somewhere else, with water, then I would go back time and time again, but I paid for 8 nights and felt that it was a bit of a struggle as every night we came in, tried the taps and cheered when water came out. Not really what you expect for that kind of money in 2016.

Great stay in this beautiful converted Olive press
Such a lovely holiday in this gorgeous house. It is remote but the views and tranquility make the 10 minute windy drive up the hill totally worth it. The house is immaculately clean, comfortable and well equipped. Everything works as it should do and the air conditioning was efficient and very welcome. The garden is gorgeous with beautiful views and a peaceful setting for al fresco meals. Fiona was a dream to deal with - so helpful and efficient. She sourced a BBQ for us at short notice, recommended restaurants and organised a mid week clean. Nothing was too much trouble. There is lots to do in the area and some great beaches to visit. Kalamaki beach is definitely worth a visit and do have lunch at Nikolas restaurant if you go. We will definitely be returning!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the Olive Press as I first approached it through the mesmerising olive groves, and spectacular sea views. It really shows the true beauty of old Corfu.

The area is stunning and the the villagers are friendly and welcoming.

The Press is situated on a picturesque mountainside, boasting fantastic sea views. Experience tranquility and privacy in a traditional period Venetian olive press, with all the contemporary amenities.

In five minutes you can be by the beach, or in a seafront fish taverna.

What makes this property unique

Quietness, beauty of nature, nestled amongst olive trees, traditional village, mountain and sea views, close to the beach, own parking, dog kennel on request.
