Private hillside villa with heated pool and magnificent views over Ionian Sea

A hillside private villa, with breathtaking sea views above the famous Agios Gordios sandy Beach, only 5 min drive. Also near to Kontoyalos, Yaliscari and Glyfada sandy beaches for 10 min drive, and Corfu Town/ airport/ port for about 20 min. The villa is 200 sq.m. in a land of 2500sq.m and consists of 3 bedrooms, (2 doubles,1 twin) 2 en suite bathrooms ,1 family bathroom, spacious living-dinning area, separated kitchen, shaded terraces, a built BBQ, an old olive grove, floral garden with lawn, plenty area with lush wild vegetation, private parking and a private heated pool. It's built on a hill on the west side of the island of Corfu, away from tourism, in a virgin area of Aerostato Sinarades. A quiet location but everything to hand within 3 mins in the car. Designed to integrate naturally with the mountain's massive boulders and the lush surrounding, fully furnished, equipped and tastefully decorated, will be enjoyable, inspiring and above all, relaxing for unforgettable holiday experience.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
As you climb the hills crossing from east to west, the olive groves are all around you. Descending into Agios Gordios beach (5 min drive) is a joy whether by day or night. At night the lights of the village are spread out below you. By day the panoramic view is breathtaking, looking across the bay to the landmark of 'Orthοlithi' the rock guarding the cliffs. Agios Gordios is a lovely resort with a long sandy beach, and is a real find. There is plenty to do with an assortment of Tavernas and Restaurants scattered along the narrow high street, and along the beach. In the evening the sunsets of Agios Gordios, being on the west coast are spectacular.
Sinarades ( 3 min drive) is an ancient Greek village that has been forgotten by tourism. It clings to the mountainside, with an almost Alpine appearance. A walk to the small narrow streets of this traditional village, is a must. In Sinarades you will find a folklore museum, a traditional taverna with local dishes, a pharmacy, mini markets and coffee shops.
Pelekas ( 5 min drive) can be found on the West coast of Corfu - just opposite Corfu (Kerkyra) town. Pelekas is a small village situated on the top of a hill. You can find lots of tavernas, restaurants, coffee shops but also the famous Kaiser's throne! The favourite spot of King Kaiser, where you can admire the beauty of Corfu from the top. Kontogialos beach is below the Pelekas village and it's about 5 min drive .
❗There is a security camera in the outside area, showing the way to the gate. All the rest areas are absolutely private.

The Perfect Getaway!
From the moment we arrived at beautiful Villa Vardia we was warmly welcomed by Anna (the owner of the property). Anna showed us around her stunning villa - we were completely taken back by the most amazing view, we believe we’d never be lucky enough to get a view like that again!. The villa is very clean, really gorgeous pool area with four very comfortable sun-loungers. Anna supplies towels for your stay - for the pool and bathroom. The area in which the villa is set is a perfect getaway, just what we needed!! We completely relaxed whist we were there. You are surrounded by olive groves and the sounds of nature….just perfect. We loved visiting the local beach (Adios Godios) - which was only a short drive away, Corfu Old Town was another favourite of ours…the town is vibrant, clean and the little streets actually reminded me of Venice. We highly recommend this villa, you will need to hire a car but everything you need is a short drive away. You can however walk to the pretty traditional local village of Sinarades - which has a couple of tavernas, a supermarket and a folklore museum (very quaint). Thank you Anna for our amazing time in your beautiful home!

A Little Bit of Heaven
Villa Vardia is magnificent! My husband was ill during our visit so I spent several days on the veranda while my children and grandchildren explored the island. I couldn’t have been happier. The view from the terrace is magnificent. In the morning, the only sound (and it is cacophonous) is the cicadas. Although it was hot while we were there, a breeze made the terrace comfortable. American travelers should know that only the bedrooms are air conditioned. That took a little getting used to, but it was worth it!

Gorgeous villa
Anna, thank you for sharing your amazing villa with my family. We had a great time enjoying the pool after a long day around the island and the sunset from the villa is unforgettable. Anna is a great host, she gave us a detailed information for the near by restaurants, grocery stores and the two beautiful beaches near the house. After two days we felt like locals everyone around the village was so nice and pleasant. Also, we had an amazing time at La Grotta where you can do a board diving and rent a boat from there and go to different beaches( Anna recommendation). We will come back again one day and I strongly recommend the villa. Wish you all the best and thank you for the delicious pie. It was a delightful stay.

Villa Vardia is in the most beautiful setting, overlooking olive groves and the sea. It was so quiet and peaceful, a spectacular place to unwind and relax with wonderful views in every direction. The villa itself is beautiful too with everything you might possibly want from fly screens on all the doors and windows to a hammock, big bean bags and towels for the pool. Anna was the most brilliant of hosts and managed everything for us superbly. We had one of our best holidays ever and it was very hard to leave.

Outstanding Views
Well, how can I put into words the panoramic view from the villa - beautiful and idyllic. We really miss those views now we are back home. The villa is very spacious (we are a family of 6 adults and one baby but still had privacy) with a large lounge area looking out to the views, large kitchen, one downstairs bedroom and shower room, two further en-suite bedrooms upstairs, located in a very quiet position on top of a hill. All bedrooms have balconies. Be aware that your satnav will not take you directly to the villa as it is up a very bumpy track. However, Anna will meet you before you get to the track to guide you to the villa. I would say that the walk to the village would take about half an hour, and maybe longer on the way back as its all up hill. The track is very bumpy and stony, not suitable for a child's pushchair. There are a couple of supermarkets in the village along with an excellent butcher and some tavernas. There are several beaches nearby, all have car parks and access by road, although in some places very narrow with lots of bends. Car hire is definitely recommended or else you would be very isolated. The sunsets are also beautiful from the villa. If you go out of the entrance and take a right up the track you will have an even better view of the sunset. Anna is a very tentative host, ensuring everything is perfect for your stay, including a welcome drink on arrival. It was my birthday while we were staying at the Villa and my daughter had arranged with Anna a birthday cake - it was a lovely surprise. Bathroom towels and sunbed towels are provided and changed during your stay and the villa was cleaned during our week stay. If you have any problems or need help with anything Anna is always on hand to advise. We would definitely love to stay at Villa Vardia again and explore more of what Corfu has to offer.

Fantastic views, lovely quiet location and wonderful host
Ideally located villa with very special views and the added bonus of a pool. Anna the owner takes care of you the moment you walk through the door, with welcome drinks, a full overview of the villa and things to see and do in the local area and wider island. The villa is very private and has everything you need if there are days you don’t want to venture out. The local village has a butcher and a couple of small supermarkets to get everyday essentials. There are also a few restaurants and small bars. We went with teenagers and they loved the villa especially the Wi-fi!! Thanks for making our holiday so special and looking after us Anna.

Stunning views, Peaceful Setting, Comfort for every guest
We booked the Villa Vardia for a family vacation. When we arrived, we felt like we were in heaven. Anna was easy to maintain contact with and met us at the base of the road leading to the house to lead the way, get us acquainted with the property and answer any questions we had about the surrounding area or events nearby. We found Anna to be devoted to ensuring our comfort at the Villa Vardia, which we appreciated. Then we were on our own to enjoy our stay! The three very comfortable bedrooms, each with its own bathroom made for an easy stay. The home is comfortably appointed. An eat in kitchen, indoor dining room and outdoor dining areas allowed for some home cooked meals, along with an available grill outdoors. Much of our time at the house was spent relaxing on the patios or balconies, chatting with loved ones while being able to soak up the gorgeous view of the island of Corfu and the seas surrounding it. The location of the home allows for an easy drive to a number of beautiful beaches, traditional villages for exploring, Kerkyra/Old Corfu Town for shopping and people watching as well as numerous historic sites and attractions. We often would explore early in the day, return to the home for a bite to eat and then spend our afternoon/early evening soaking up the sun on a nearby beach (there are many to enjoy!) For a relaxing, quiet setting with outstanding views, book the Villa Vardia. You'll find a number of beautiful beaches and attractions an easy drive away. It's a home well equipped for the needs of a family vacation or for a friends' get away. I'll be looking forward to the opportunity to return.

Marvelous place
Villa Vardia is an excellent spot. We stayed for a week - 4 adults and 3 kids including one toddler. The views are amazing and the height gets you a little breeze in the hot Greek summer - AC in all the bedrooms also helps! Plenty of good spots within 10-15 by car and the local tavernas in Sinarades offer both takeaway and delivery which was excellent, we didn’t cook a single meal ourselves. Anna was super attentive and easy to communicate with. We’d love to come back another time.

Ein Horrorhaus, Finger Weg!
Das Haus ist eine absolut Katastrophe! Ich persönlich glaube nicht an die ganzen positiven Bewertungen! Wir haben das Haus nach 23 Stunden auf eigene und zusätzliche Kosten verlassen und hoffen darauf, dass uns Fewo weiter helfen wird unser Geld zurück zu erhalten. Wo fangen wir bloß an, vielleicht bei den unwesentlichsten Dingen! Es war dreckig und es hat gestunken. Die Bilder entsprechen nicht der Realität! Vieles war defekt, angeblich von den vorherigen Gästen kaputt gemacht worden. Das größte Fenster im Wohnzimmer darf nicht aufgemacht werden, kaputte Lampen und Schallter, überall gefuschte Arbeit, ekelhafter Pool, aber das schlimmste und gefährlichste ist, das wackelige Geländer! Meine Tochter ist die Treppe runtergefallen. Die Zuwegung zum Haus unzumutbar! Ich hatte Angst diesen Weg wieder runter zufahren. Wir wollten nur noch raus aus diesem Haus! Aber Bilder sagen mehr als Wörter! Leider konnte ich nur drei Bilder einstellen. Aber Sie finden meine Bewertung mit Bildern auf anderen bekannten Bewertungsseiten! Den Namen darf ich hier leider nicht angeben. Grüße aus Hamburg

We had an amazing stay with Anna in her gorgeous hilltop villa overlooking the dramatic landscape of Corfu's east coast. The villa came well equipped and Anna made us feel right at home the minute we arrived. She made sure to look after us, brought us tasty treats and kept the villa in perfect conditon throughout our stay.

Best holiday ever! Fantastic house and perfect host!
We rented the house for nearly two weeks and we had a great stay. Anna has been the best host we have ever met! She has been waiting for us 300m in front of the house just to be sure we won’t get lost. She really took care of us and gave us great tips. The house is well equipped. We missed absolutely nothing. The view really is spectacular! Every evening we enjoyed a beautiful sunset with our kids on the main terrace. Every morning we enjoyed a breathtaking sunrise from the huge terrace upstairs. The kids loved the beanbags and of course the hammock. And on top of that the house rental included two times cleaning. I couldn’t believe it. With two young kids this felt like heaven on earth actually. All in all: perfect host - great house - stunning view - happy holiday Dear Anna thank you very much!
