Villa Arete - Villa by the Sea with swimming pool on Corfu Island, Greece

Villa Arete is property occupying a privileged location in the area of Perithia, on the sought after North-East coast of Corfu. Part of the exclusive “Perithia View” estate, this villa has been finished to the highest standard to offer a superior holiday experience to the most demanding guests. With 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, extensive lounges and patios as well as private pool, this villa ticks all the boxes. The elevated position (yet very close to amazing beaches) with 180 degrees panoramic views, offers the most amazing gift of the nature: the chance to admire, from the same property, both sunrise and sunset. In Villa Arete, every moment will be an experience to live and remember!

Inside, this villa is set over 2 floors connected via a side staircase. With huge patio doors, large windows, and designer furniture, Villa Arete enjoys all the sun and light that Greece can offer. On the ground floor there is a spacious lounge (sofas, wi-fi, air-conditioning) with adjoining kitchen (fully equipped) as well as 2 bedrooms (both en-suite). One bedroom has a double bed + a sofa (that can be turned into a full size single sofa bed) while the other bedroom is a twin. The upper floor is identical to the lower one, except that the master bedroom has just a double bed and not an extra sofa bed. Extensive terrace on both floors provide magical views over the ionian Sea and Albanian coastline beyond.
The interiors are fully air-conditioned.
Outside, beautifully paved patios with sunbeds for all the guests enjoy all the most sensational views and the breeze of the coastline. A dining area for the guests together with barbecue is available, for delicious al-fresco meals. The private pool measures 6.8m x 6m (depth 1.5m) and is beautifully lit at night. Thanks to its clever design, it is the perfect spot to enjoy a refreshing dip or a drink while admiring the sun going down in the sea.

The property, thanks to its spacious interiors and its large exteriors, guarantees a pleasure and safe stay. All the areas, including the swimming pool, are carefully sanitized and sterilized for the health and tranquility of guests.

Please carefully check if there are any extra costs to be paid on site!

our stay was amazing, the villa is beautiful , clean and just perfect. the area is a bit out of the way and have to get taxis everywhere due to being no roads to walk down, however 100% worth it Had a little problem finding the villa, as adress given didn’t come up on maps , but found from (Hidden by Airbnb) and wasn’t too bad once you knew where it was 10/10 would recommend for groups

Great place! Not close to many things though. No beach walking distance. Only 1 restaurant walking. Have to drive everywhere and roads are hard to navigate a bit on scooters. Would recommend a car.

This Villa was absolutely incredible. It was a slice of Greek Heave and we enjoyed every minute of it. The home was clean and prestige and the outdoor area was to die for. I would note that the drive up is very steep and our rental car actually couldn’t make it up all the way. The pool which was spotless, clear and clean we loved but it is not heated - we tried out best to get in though! The housekeeper is the sweetest, she was so quick to help and available when we needed her. Overall stay here it was amazing.

Review for stay from 09 July 2022 to 16 July 2022

At first sight the Villa is amazing and the views from the swimming pool are out of this world. What let it down was the cleanliness of the villa, the lack of amenities (dishwasher tablets, bin bags) left in the villa (they are two apartments and 1 of each of the above was left in the lower apartment not the top, the bathrooms are situated off the bedrooms and we had no bathroom door on our bathroom which is awkward, Wi-Fi was intermittent and Privacy is an issue as the villas are so close and if you are staying in the top apartment u can not access the pool unless you go through the bottom apartment which is really annoying! The property owner was very helpful

Perfect vacation - stay here if you can!

From our initial contact with the property owner right through to the last minute of our vacation, everything was perfect! The villa is located in a very quiet area of north Corfu, but this was perfect for us as we had local tavernas and beaches near-by with some smaller towns within a 10min drive. The villa is well set out and had everything we needed. The pool and the views from the pool area and upper balcony are exceptional, especially during sunset. We recommend you get a car due to the location although we walked to the local tavernas on most nights (they are both excellent) - because of the rural location, bring a torch as the roads are not lit! A special mention to Mr Makis the villa manager, he was present most days (although not a bother to us) either cleaning, maintaining or just checking on the properties and he was very reassuring about security and offered for us to call with any questions about Corfu, not just the villa! We are a family of 8 (4 adults and 4 children 4-8 years old) and this was the perfect villa - we cannot recommend highly enough.

Everything and more!

Everything you see online is exactly what you get. The Villa is two separate floors. Each floor has a kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms each with a full bathroom. You must go outside to access the other unit as there are no interior stairs. There is a washer on each floor with drying racks on the decks. The infinity pool is large and kept at a very comfortable temperature. There are 8 chaise lounges and a wonderful picnic table in the shade for meals or games. Villa Arete is the middle unit, but it still feels as though you have plenty of privacy. The driveway is very steep, so driving a manual transmission car can be challenging, although there is plenty of parking to accommodate 2 cars per Villa. There are myriad surrounding beaches. St. Spyrion is sandy and family friendly with a lovely little cafe close by. Kassiopi is smooth rock and crowded, but the surrounding choices for restaurants and shopping make it attractive. And, there are many, many more choices. We loved the northern area of Corfu. The owners restaurant recommendations were simply phenomenal. We were a family of 9 from 15 to 78 and not one of us was in the least bit disappointed. The local caretaker was extremely responsive to every need. Have we said enough great things about this property? Perhaps, but we have only scratched the surface.

Familienurlaub

Drei sehr schöne Villen mit grandiosem Ausblick. Wir waren mit 7 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern in der mittleren Villa. Der Platz ist ausreichend, die Einrichtung (hauptsächlich Küche) könnte etwas besser sein, was bei uns egal war, da wir abends immer Essen waren Kochen für 9 Personen fast unmöglich. Die Hausmeisterin war sehr freundlich und immer bemüht einem zu helfen Für die Preislage sind mir die Villen zu dicht zusammen, wenig Privatsphäre. Jeder kann jedem in die Zimmer schauen.

Sehr schöne Villa mit herrlichem Ausblick. Für diese Preislage, sind diese drei Villen zu dicht beisammen. Keine richtige Privatsphäre. Außenbereich ist ok, leider sehr ungepflegt (Grünflächen sind nicht angelegt, nur Unkraut).

Review for stay from 10 August 2022 to 19 August 2022

We had a wonderful holiday, villa is very nice with all the essential amenities with stunning views across to Albania. Pool area is lovely with plenty of space and sunbeds, and although villa is in the middle of 3, privacy was not an issue. The only negative is that the villa is split onto 2 levels with no internal staircase, but we made this work by making sure the key was always put back in the lock box. The villa is in the North East part of Corfu, which we found to be the nicest area. The local village / harbour of Kassiopi is stunning with wonderful restaurants, cocktail bars, shops and supermarket. Further along the coastline is Kalami (where The Durrells was filmed) - this is a lovely spot, along with Agni Bay (next bay round) - the restaurants at Agni Bay can be accessed by boat from Kalami which makes it extra special. Local beach of Agios Spyridon is sandy with very shallow water, nice lunch-time restaurants. Would definitely recommend this villa / area but would note that a car is ESSENTIAL.

We stayed in Arete Villa which was in the middle apartment of the 3. The views are absolutely stunning, pool was clean and external areas were 5*s. Overall the apartment was exceptionally clean, with perfect ‘chill’ areas to relax in. Kitchen was fully equipped and the beds were super comfy. Super close to restaurants and beaches, closest town was a 7 minute drive which was really lively. Will definitely stay again!

The pool and views at this villa are truly outstanding, would rate excellent if not for the 2 apartment style layout with no internal staircase and the road to approach the villas is really bad and needs addressing. Once through gates the road is perfect.

Ticking all the boxes

Excellent new villa ticking almost all the boxes for a family. 5 min drive from an excellent beach for kids shallow, warm and sandy (Agios Spiridon). 7 minutes walk from little village with tavernas that do takeaway with all the Greek favourites. Excellent pool (multicolours at night) with amazing view of Albania and incredible sunsets. 5 min walk from icecream place. Actually 2 apartments one on top of the other with private entrances and kitchen and lounges. Perfect for the inlaws or older kids or friends. Amazing place.
