Perfect house for a 3-generation family reunion
As charming and comfortable as the photos suggest. Separate entrances for all but two rooms also gave each of our family subgroups extra privacy, while the large and comfortable common areas provided plenty of space to gather, play fishbowl, or read and relax together. PERFECT. And Stephen, Maggie, and John were so attentive and welcoming!

Absolute gem
Loved everything about this house, its fabulous views, its tasteful appointments, and the friendliness and flexibility of both owners and caretakers. Perfect for a one-week writers’ retreat, and in fact I’m staying on after my writers leave for a vacation with extended family. Highly recommended!

wonderful
Despite some unseasonally cold and rainy weather (May 2023) we enjoyed our time in Corfu. The bad weather did not last and good weather allowed us to take several day trips around the north eastern part of the island which is the most beautiful part of the island. The cottage is tastefully decorated and all five bedrooms were equipped with heaters and air conditioning if needed. The views are spectacular and an oasis of peace (if that is what you are looking for.) Acharavi is a 20 minute journey and offers everything you might need including groceries, pharmacy, restaurants, etc. By far the greatest asset are the caretakers for the property who live near the cottage: Stephan and Maggie. They are the kindest and most helpful people I have ever met. I also love their dogs and cats. They and the stunning scenery (olive groves, orange trees, almond trees) make this property special. True, the last bit of gravel track you must follow to the cottage is "interesting" and a bit rough but if you are interested in finding tranquility in a quiet off the beaten track location, this is for you. In the end, there were 8 of us and we all agreed that we had a great time.

An idyllic five days
This is a truly magnificent property in a stunning setting. The welcome we received from Stephen was lovely - including from his gorgeous and gentle animals (absolutely not something to worry about if you happen not to like dogs and cats - they don’t intrude). He met us in Acharavi and led us up the hill to the cottage. When we arrived it really is like something from a film set. We cooked on the bbq, whilst drinking cocktails watching the sun set over the Mediterranean. And then we sat under the vines and enjoyed lazy dinners. The location in the hills sets off the most amazing view - which was breathtaking each and every time we looked!. The cottage itself is gorgeous. Each bedroom is beautiful and the kitchen is well stocked. Pool is great - just large enough to have a swim - with that amazing view. No faults at all. But you definitely do need a car - it’s a drive up the hill from Acharavi and then steep road to the cottage. Well worth it. I’d rush to go back.

Our mamamia villa, we loved it
Just like a movie setting... really thoughtfully decorated, with good taste. Homely feeling to it all. We appreciated the details cleaning during the week, fresh towels, ‘greentea lemon’ scented bath shower soap even with a bodymilk ;) So nice. The view is breathtaking and corfu a lovely island to explore. We surely recommand this property, you have enough privacy and also can share good talks and wine with your friends on the porch. Kids loved the pool too. Thank you for everything. Rgds Kim

Fabulous villa with breathtaking views/sunsets
We had a wonderful time celebrating an 80th birthday in this beautiful rustic villa set in the hills above Acharavi. There was ample room for a group of 10 adults with plenty of outside seating for relaxing, eating and watching the many spectacular sunsets. Matina kindly met us in Acharavi when we first arrived to guide us to the villa, which is tucked away up a steep and windy track (you soon get accustomed to this last leg of the journey). The villa is well equipped with a lovely outside pool area - pool towels are supplied. We met the neighbours Maggie and Steve (and their 4 lovely dogs), they were very friendly and we sampled their homemade wine and figs from their garden. We went to the local supermarkets in Acharavi where there are plenty of shops and Tavernas. Our favourite beach was Almyros which is 5 mins outside the town in the direction of Kassiopi. We also went to Agios Spyridon beach where we hired 2 boats from North Corfu boat hire, this was a great day out. Matina was a great host and we hope to return one day.

Beautiful Vacation Place
We had a wonderful holiday at Castelli Cottage. The house was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. There were plenty of seating areas outside and inside for the whole family to hang out together, while the spacing of the bedrooms and the many bathrooms ensured that there was also privacy when wanted. The house is surrounded by olive trees and the view and the sunsets are amazing.  The owner, Matina, was very accommodating of our whole family as well as being flexible with check-in and check-out times which was so appreciated with a toddler. We loved staying here and had a blast!

Fantastic family reunion with lots of biking and swimming
We had a wonderful time in Cottage Castelli; the house and gardens are very tastefully renovated and beautifully maintained. We loved interacting with Matina the owner and Stephen the neighbor. We will be back !!

Well maintained. Traditional, utilitarian Kitchen. Well appointed outside areas
Uniquely situated, fantastic views, very tranquil in a small community-the whole family loved it. Steve who lives locally very good on advice and help. Martina gave us a delightful welcome and reliable local recommendations. Definitely small ish car or jeep as long winding hillside track through the olive groves, but you soon master it. Would thoroughly recommend to all those who love traditional Corfu.

Amazing location and very charming house
The situation is splendid, the view of the mountains and the sea, being in the middle of the olive trees is unique. The sunsets are beautiful. The outside and the inside of the house are confortable with all you what you need to rest and eat outside, barbecue and great swimming pool. It is perfect to be shared by two families with children. Matina is so friendly, her advices are very good (beach, shopping), that you can feel living in the real Greece. One topic to be noticed : it is better to rent a jeep or a small car to reach the house. Unfortunately this summer there were a lot of wasps.
