About this property

Family Villa with pool, sea and mountain views in tranquil setting

An ideal base for whatever type of holiday you seek, be it somewhere quiet to carry on working, soaking up the sun poolside for complete relaxation away from 'the madding crowd' or a walker wishing to leave the car on the drive to ramble out of the door to the olive tree adorned hills. Turn in the other direction and walk five minutes to the authentic Greek Café Neon to have a drink and chat with local people, maybe enjoy lunch or dinner there too. Alternatively walk to the nearest beach 20 minutes away on foot (5 mins by car), or just do nothing at this private villa in a quiet location island. The choice is yours. The villa is close enough to all facilities yet has the added bonus of having no long, winding, tortuous, often steep roads associated with many locations. It is a large, modern and spacious 3 double bedroom 200 sq metre villa with attached double garage. It has large vaulted ceiling extending the whole width of the upstairs and in the master bedroom. Also upstairs are the open plan sitting and dining room areas plus the adjoining fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar. There are outside balconies with glorious views of the Ionian Sea and Albanian mountains to the front, gardens and tree lined hills to the rear. Perhaps breakfast whilst taking in the sea view and mountain range and then enjoy mid-morning coffee tranquilly looking up into the natural olive tree lined hills from the rear balcony. At the end of the day sip those drinks whilst watching (depending on the time of the year) the fire ball sun, either sink into the sea or back light the whispery branches of olive and Cyprus trees before it gives way to the night sky and its galaxy of glistening stars. The Kitchen, basic satellite TV, and surround sound music centre are also situated on the first floor. Downstairs, there is an additional sitting room with basic satellite TV. There is wi-fi connection on both floors. The three air conditioned bedrooms are all en- suite with two opening onto a front balcony and sea view the other to the garden and olive tree hills. Sitting in 4000sq metres of grounds, the property is in a quiet, not over looked location where a slow passing car can be something of a novelty and just a few minutes’ walk from the village centre and local café Neon, serving traditional food and a range of beverages. The villa enjoys glorious views over the Ionian sea to the Albanian mountains at the front and hills to the rear. This is an ideal place to relax, walk along donkey track roads through olive groves to Episkepsi and beyond or use as a base to visit the many beaches, towns and villages in the north of the island. The nearest beech of Roda, with shops and restaurants is a five minute drive away and the main town of Archarvi also with shops, bars, restaurants, and post office just two minute or so further away. The village people are very welcoming so do stroll the few minutes to visit the café Neon and the small main square with its Greek Orthodox church.
The villa has its own good sized pool, sunbeds, BBQ, covered outdoor eating/sitting area with table and chairs. The large double open space garage attached to the villa provides sink, washing machine, tumble dryer and an additional fridge freezer. A clothes line, iron, ironing board and hair dryers are also provided. The gardens are large and ideal for playing boules and other such outdoor games.

Wonderful villa in a peaceful location
We had a lovely holiday.The villa was spacious,clean and very well equipped. Fantastic views from the balconies and swimming pool.A couple of minor issues were dealt with very quickly. It is in a good location just outside a village but within a short drive of beaches and other attractions.

Corfu Summer Break 2022
The location, size and facilities at the property were second to none for us. Although there is tight vehicle access, it's not too bad if takenb slowly and only a short run. The locals are helpful if you meet a vehicle head on as we did several times, and easily overcome. Beds really comfortable, with air con in the bedrooms only making a great nights sleep no problem. The pool is a good size and depth, clearly well maintained, with a good range of sunbeds around the pool to choose from. Facilities in the property are generally very good, although the sat TV didn't work for us whilst we were there. It wasn't a major problem for us, as so many other things to do and we quite enjoyed the time away from it TBH. One of the real highlights of the stay was Cafe Neon in the village. Spyros and Anna were both great hosts, with the atmosphere, food and welcome scoring 10/10 every time we visited, so it comes highly recommended.

We had a wonderful week at this villa. The views are really beautiful and as soon we arrived we felt totally relaxed. It is such a peaceful location but with the benefit of the great Cafe Neon down the road where we had dinner several times. The pool is great. a really good size and plenty of inflatables for the kids and the property is very spacious and well equipped. We would definitely recommend this villa.

Idyllic villa
The villa was superb - an absolute home from home in a wonderful holiday location (well done Dennis and Linda - and Peter and the team on Corfu too). Complete privacy and peace with a dramatic view across the water to Albania but just a short hop to the village of Roda - and from there endless island coastline to the east and west. Highly recommended..

Lovely villa with fabulous views
We all had a great family holiday at this wonderful villa. Good location for exploring northern Corfu, for walks in the countryside around the villa and for dining at the local taverna Cafe Neon! The villa is bright, spacious and fully equipped, great clean pool and amazing views from both the garden and the balconies. We would recommend this villa and will hopefully return!

Lovely villa, great pool, amazing view!
A really lovely, comfortable and well-equipped villa. The pool is a very good size and the water warm. The villa is in a very peaceful location but an easy walking distance to the local taverna, which is very friendly and serves good food. Plenty of supermarkets, shops, restaurants and beaches within a short drive. A perfect place for a holiday!

A wonderful peaceful spot that combines calm seclusion with luxury.
A beautiful villa in a wonderful spot. The place was immaculate throughout with everything you would need for a family holiday. The furniture and decor were all of a good standard with a lovely style to it. The living area is upstairs with the bedrooms on the ground floor, which works perfectly for this villa and location. The elevated views across open countryside to the sea, and the hills of Albania are simply gorgeous. The 3 bedrooms are of a very good standard, and each one has an excellent en-suite facility. The pool is in sunshine all day so the water is lovely, but there are plenty of seating areas in the shade for any time of the day, including a lovely raised and covered dining area, again with gorgeous views to the sea. The nearest properties are far enough away to give you complete freedom, peace and privacy. If you want a break away from it all with no noise, privacy, wonderful views and facilities to match, you will struggle to better this villa. The couple who own it are also very professional and helpful, and respond quickly with good easy to understand information and advice. Couldn’t recommend the place high enough and we will definitely seek to return again in the future.

Simply brilliant!
What a super, modern villa, all mod cons, stunning location and views that are breath taking, add in a great pool, and a cracking local bar ( with great snacks, and deserts) and you are totally relaxed within hours of arriving. Roda is a 15-20 min walk but has loads of great restaurants, bars and beach which can fill every day, hired a small boat for 4 hrs from there to go up the coast which made the trip. Waterpark within 10 mins drive is small, but sound for a couple of hours, (go after 4.00, as its only €10/each), lovely villages and beaches all along the north coast, especially liked Kassiopi, You have to go to the Maestro restaurant to see the stunning sun sets,

Absolutely wonderful!
We had a wonderful time staying at this house - the photographs in now way do it justice, it was brilliantly appointed - everything we could possibly need for a home away from home including UK adapters for the European plugs - but with glorious sunshine and a lovely clean warm swimming pool - and a mid week clean! The local café was friendly and the food was delicious and Acharavi nearby provided us with all our needs - friendly restaurants, good food markets and including - unfortunately for us - a very amenable and charming doctor! The information in the house is comprehensive, and my husband and I stayed with my 78 year old mother and two teenage daughters and we all had a ball. The views are wonderful, and the air conditioning was a real bonus. And of course wifi! Thumbs up all round.

Truly amazing
This is a wonderful villa. Very well positioned with breathtaking views of the sea. Our family of 2 adults and 2 young children had an incredible stay here with nice meals out at the nearby restaurants and great BBQ's at the villa whilst taking in the view. The villa itself has everything you could possibly need and the pool area and villa were kept clean and tidy throughout our stay. The local people were very welcoming too and great with the children. We will be returning next year, I'm already wishing the year away!

AMAZING..........
Thanks for sharing your villa on Owners Direct....I can honestly say that this has got to be one of the cleanest and most well equipped villas we have ever stayed in. Everything that you could possibly need and more was provided. The villa is a little off the beaten track however it is only a few minutes drive into Roda where you can find plenty of restaurants and supermarkets for essentials. A couple of larger supermarkets can be found approx 5 minutes drive from Roda itself. The view from the villa was just like something you see on a postcard and the large pool was a welcome relief. This villa really is 'home from home' and you can see that the owners have spent a lot of time researching what a family would need to enjoy their stay. Thanks to Ron and Jill for the top tips and to Cindy for keeping the villa so sparkling...it is real credit to you all. The norm is for people to learn from their mistakes however this is the first year that this villa has been let and there were no mistakes so good luck to you all and we hope to visit again sometime x

Fantastic property
We had a fabulous holiday at the villa in Sfakera, near Roda. It's a lovely house, with a gorgeous pool and spectacular views of Albania. The house is large, very comfortable and well equipped. It was very clean and well maintained. It's in a really peaceful setting, with lovely walks from the door. It has a large garden, ideal for games, and some shady areas for eating or sitting out. The owner's sister, who lives nearby, maintains the property and she and her husband gave us a very warm welcome. The owners are also very helpful and provided us with useful information before out trip, and there is a folder in the house with details of places to visit, supermarkets etc. We enjoyed visits to Corfu town, the sandy beach at Ag. Spiradon, and the little resorts dotted around the north east coast. We'd thoroughly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Cooper

Host profile image
I am married with two grown-up sons, partners and two grandchildren, who love spending their holidays at the villa in Sfakera. With my husband we had the villa built so that we could spend more time visiting this wonderful island whilst at the same time seeing more of my sister who used to live on island . We currently live in Hertfordshire having arrived here in 1984 moving from the Midlands via Cheshire were we lived for 8 years. We decided to offer the villa for holiday rentals a) because it’s such a lovely spot we enjoy sharing it with others and b) in all honesty to help contribute to its upkeep.

Why they chose this property

It has everything we wanted when looking for the right spot to build a house and believe me it took a couple of years of searching to find it. It is situated on a very quiet unmade road where a ‘busy’ day means maybe eight cars a day will pass very slowly by. The village of Sfakera is a two minute walk away and the Café Neon is frequented by locals and occasional tourists who want to sample an authentic village bar that serves food and a full range of drinks.
The views from the villa are beautiful, stretching as they do across the valley below, to the resort of Roda and onward over the sea with passing ships and boats, to the panoramic vista of the Albanian mountains at the front. To the rear are olive and Cyprus tree laden hills, with more trees to one side and some way over, a large villa to the other that does not overlook the property. Watch the sun setting from the front balcony as it drops into the ocean to be replaced by a galaxy of stars in the night sky.
Roda is short drive or fifteen minute walk away and offers an ATM, local shops beaches, water sports and any number of tavernas. Archarvi, the largest town outside of Corfu town, is five minutes away by car, just around the headland, and boasts a small museum, opposite a small archaeological dig, an array of shops numerous bars and restaurants town side or beachfront, beaches and water sports. The water park is on the edge of the town on the road to Kassiopi . Medical facilities and pharmacies are available in both Roda and Acharavi.
To sum up; whatever mood you are in, be it in need of a quiet, away from it all relaxing holiday by the pool, or sea swimming and beach activities, walking, sightseeing, shopping, sailing along the magnificent coast line, eating out or a drink in a local bar, this place has them all.

What makes this property unique

This is a spacious 200 sq metre villa, plus attached double garage in a large plot of 4000 m2 with glorious views . Upstairs there is a large vaulted ceiling sitting room and kitchen , the balconies to the front and rear have completely different views, sea and mountains to one side, dense olive trees and hills to the other. To one side there are more dense olive trees and to the other side roughly 50 metres away a villa which does not overlook- see pictures. It has 3 phase electricity with central heating throughout and air conditioning in all three ground floor en-suite bedrooms. On both floors there are separate toilets. The attached, tiled floor garage. houses a sink, washing machine, tumble dryer (if needed) and an additional fridge freezer.
The bedrooms and additional sitting room are on the ground floor and are accessible by wheel chair, but use of the toilets my require some mobility.
Outside there is a good size swimming pool with a walk in slope and shallow steps at one end and 2 metre depth at the other. A large paved area surrounds the pool where sunbeds and an umbrella are placed and if it gets too hot there is covered shelter with table and chairs, next to the BBQ for outdoor cooking.
There is plenty of room to play outdoor games
