Such a lot of care has so obviously gone into designing the layout of the villa and furnishing it. There are fabulous views every which way you turn and equal care has gone into planning the outside areas - which are vast!! The planting in the garden is stunning and provides shade, a beautiful backdrop and also welcomes wildlife. The variety of outdoor eating and seating options also means that you feel you are having a really luxurious experience. The view obviously means you have to be prepared for a bit of a drive to get up to the villa - but it is so worth it. You can’t fail to have a wonderful holiday here. The regular cleaning and visits from the lovely property manager means you also won’t have any headaches to deal with once there. There are lots of lovely beaches, tavernas and places of interest which can easily be accessed if you can bear to leave the villa. Our family and friends would very highly recommend this wonderful villa.

We arrived late at night to this wonderful villa and immediately fell in love with it. Walking out onto the extensive terrace the view of the bays across the island was breathtaking and the underwater lighting in the pool looked magical. We were impressed with the layout of the gardens and the internal space at the villa. Everything we needed was to hand and we were glad of the welcome pack of essentials to keep us going until we organised a shopping trip. The owners have created comprehensive folders of information for guests which we used daily. We enjoyed many of the recommended tavernas and places to visit. There are some lovely beaches within easy reach and we hired a boat for a day, which became the highlight of the holiday. We had a very memorable family holiday in this special place and will definitely be returning - next time for much longer.

A return visit to Villa Petalutha and we were once again treated to a wonderful holiday. The owners maintain high standards and we could not fault their provision . This is still the best villa we have ever stayed in and we have already booked to return in 2019. Highly recommended for its awesome views and privacy with easy access to beaches and restaurants.

Comfortable, well equipped villa in a breathtaking setting. Excellent management by owners. Highly recommended.

Villa Petalutha is a stunning villa offering amazing views over the Corfu coastline. It is spotlessly clean, extremely well-equipped and provided plenty of space for the two families in our group. We enjoyed making use of the various sunbathing spots around the pool and gardens throughout the day and the various terraces during the evenings. Apostolis was a font of knowledge and we hugely appreciated the very informative house book with its recommendations for shops, restaurants and beaches (the nearest being Barbati which, thanks to the shortcut you suggested, cut out some of the hairpin bends). Many thanks for sharing your wonderful property: we very much hope to return at some point.

The villa was even nicer than it looks, it is just fabulous. Our first thought as we were driving to the villa up the steep winding hill, it seemed rather a long way from the sea, but once you are there, all those thoughts disappear. The views are stunning and its very secluded and quiet, and as we soon found out, not far from the sea at all. The kitchen has got everything you could possible want in it. We used to have our breakfast on the terrace, drinks in the evening looking at the sunset on the far side of the terrace and suppers on the lovely wooden table by the barbecue. All the bedrooms have extremely comfortable beds, plenty of cupboard space. The pool is lovely and there are plenty of sun loungers and chairs to sit on. Everything was spotlessly clean. We couldn't recommend this property more, its lovely. My advice is to book early!

The villa was beautiful and very much wow, and in a stunning location, we didn't want for anything the owner had made sure it was a real home from home. We are definitely booking again. We have been truly spoilt by this holiday.

Villa Petalutha was beyond doubt the most impressive and amazing villa we have ever stayed in. Everything was perfectly catered for and every detail considered, from the beautiful well equipped kitchen to the array of seating and relaxing areas. Particular favourites were the outdoor seating area under the pergola, the hammock under the olive trees with the most stunning views and the infinity pool with 180 degree views of the most beautiful landscape. The information provided was really useful, as were the books, games and pool table. The wifi worked perfectly and the villa was very clean and well cared for. The large well appointed barbecue area was well used during our holiday. There was nothing more we could have asked for. The owners were easy to communicate with, highly efficient and pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone wanting to find themselves a little piece of paradise and would love to return again soon.

There was everything we could possibly want here. The garden is wonderfully set out so we could have shade or sun, we made use of the BBQ and terraces and lovely, local, friendly, tavernas in Spartilas. Apostolos was helpful, and we really didn't want to leave. We were all surprised and delighted by the greeness of Corfu, and as much as don't like to repeat visiting places would definitely think of coming back here for a special occassion. unfortunately i'd forgotten some long trousers so didn't make as much use of the trails as i would have liked, something to remember for another time Thanks so much for creating such a lovely space for us to visit and stay

Excellent property with stunning views situated just outside of the village of Spartilas. Quiet location for a peaceful holiday. This villa is very well appointed and has everything you possibly need (and more). The owners have taken particular care to provide guests with a folder of detailed information regarding places of interest, local walks, beaches, and good tavernas worth visiting. A real treasure of useful info to make the most of your holiday. Thank you.

I hired Villa Petalutha to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. Villa was beautiful, well maintained and your every need catered for. The outside space and various terraces with seating gave you magnificent views over Corfu and surrounding countryside. The infinity pool was gorgeous. Would highly recommend.

Villa Petalutha is excellent, beautifully presented, secluded but not isolated with fantastic panoramic views in any direction day or night. It’s position halfway up the hillside is perfect for a peaceful relaxing holiday. It has everything you could possibly need to enjoy your holiday. The beds are comfortable and the villa is spotlessly clean. The variety of outdoor terraces provide a choice of areas to sit and relax or enjoy a meal - all with the amazing view that I think might be hard to beat anywhere on the island. The owners have obviously taken a great deal of care to produce a very detailed information pack which is especially ideal for the first time visitor. It has lots of recommendations for places to visit and eat - far too many to pack into just one week ! The instructions for the walk from the villa down to Spartilas are very accurate and we had no trouble following them ending up at the wonderful smelling bakery. The people in the village are friendly and very welcoming. We were there for their Easter parade, which is well worth seeing and hearing. The Spartlias choir, including the baker, sounded amazing. Driving around the island is lovely. There is always something different to see; a sea view, an ancient olive grove, green valleys and interesting unspoilt little villages. We particularly enjoyed the deserted village of Old Perithia, but it was not so deserted, as there is a choice of tavernas where you can sit sipping a cold beer or freshly squeezed orange juice whilst admiring the view. The choice of tavernas within easy reach of Villa Petalutha is unending but I would highly recommend the owners' choices in the information pack of Taverna Vitamins in Nissaki, Nikolas Taverna in Agni, Tavernaki in Kassiopi and A La Palea in Stinilas. The food and service is excellent. If you’re interested in wildlife, Corfu and Villa Petalutha are ideal. We saw the golden eagles soaring above the villa at the top of Mount Pantokrator and the fireflies in the garden. The swallows put on a spectacular display of accuracy, swooping down to take a drink from the pool. We spotted woodchat shrikes, subalpine warblers and heard the cuckoo but sadly couldn’t see it. A week is certainly too short a time to spend on Corfu and we will definitely be booking Villa Petalutha again and recommending it to all our friends.

Set in a secluded hillside position with breathtaking views, Villa Petalutha more than lived up to our expectations. The property was very clean, comfortable and well maintained with all the facilities we could have wanted. If you want a place to get away from it all and unwind then this place is hard to beat. It was our first visit to Corfu and we were surprised how green it was, even at the height of summer. A car is essential here but it will also provide access to some great beaches and places to eat - including a fun Greek night with dancing at Taverna Nikolas in Agni. We were a family of 5, including kids of 19, 17 and 11. Everyone had a brilliant time and our only regret was that we couldn't spend longer than a week here.

We were a party of 8 traveling from Perth WA and the UK to celebrate my 50th Birthday. When choosing a villa for this occasion, Villa Petalutha jumped out at me as having everything we were looking for and we were not disappointed. From the spectacular vistas from all sections of the property, the well designed and appointed home, beautiful pool, walks, peach and tranquility....we had everything we needed to make our stay exceptional. Thanks to Apostle the property manager and Staff for looking after us so well, we had a fantastic night at Nicholas Taverna and at such a beautiful location. Now we have all returned to our respective countries and so we can only reminisce on what a wonderful, relaxing holiday it was and how jealous we are that the villa is not ours. Hopefully we will return one day but it will certainly be for longer next time!!! Thanks Debbie and David. Warm Regards Marie Sheehan Perth Western Australia. PS It was a wonderful way to spend my 50th Birthday!!

We had an absolutely lovely holiday. This is a beautiful, stunning villa - it had everything and actually more than we had expected. The details provided on Owners Direct are very accurate, but what a view! We just kept finding ourselves saying 'this is ridiculous' when referring to the view. We could not find fault in anything and we can be quite analytical about such things. A beautiful place. We hope to return again. We have never said that about anywhere before....

A beautifully appointed villa set in a secluded location with breathtaking views of the mountains, Ipsos bay and Corfu town beyond. There are two excellent restaurants within a 10 minute drive and a local shop, cafe and snack bar in the nearby village of Spartilas. The villa has an impressive deck for dining and relaxing and a superb infinity pool that reached a comfortable temperature during our stay. If you are seeking seclusion and stunning views you will struggle to find better.

A group of us had a brilliant long weekend at Villa Petalutha at Easter. The villa is beautifully designed and located and extremely well 'kitted out'. We thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic views from the terrace; lazing by the pool; walking to the village; wildflowers, birds & butterflies; Easter celebrations in Corfu Town & Spartilas Village; friendly, welcoming manager; visits to nearby beaches; gorgeous meals at local tavernas and many photo opportunities. What an experience - we wish we could have stayed MUCH longer!

We booked this holiday a year in advance and spent the 12 months getting excited about it. All I can say is that Villa Petalutha did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived to the time we left we could not fault it. The view was truley outstanding - the villa beautiful, comfy and practical. It suited everybody even our 9 month old and our 4 year old. If you need to get away from it you could always find a secluded spot to rest in, or there a plenty of places to explore. This is the first time I have been to Corfu and I am so glad we chose to come to this part. The people are friendly and welcoming and the food delicious. It was even good to get the adrenalin pumping for a minute or so each day tackling the drive. I hope very much to come back to Corfu in a few years, when I do I hope that this Villa is available, as to stay anywhere else would be a let down.

Every need and want was met on this holiday of holidays; way above our expectations! Our Mums and two couples all had our own rooms with ensuites. The villa is superbly positioned (no other buildings nearby, and safe); beautifully decorated and clean (photos don't do justice!). The view and silence out of this world. Enough spaces in and outside for quiet time away from each other too. We hired a couple of cars and filled the boots with fresh produce from market stalls, and cooked up a storm most days. Some days we ventured into the village for meals, and swimming in the beautiful sea. The caretaker popped in alternate days to check all was well. Excellent customer service from the owners from the get go. There is no fence around the pool (which makes it very picturesque) but young children would need to be watched carefully. We'd love to return!
