We loved the Villa! Starting the day on the veranda, with its views of the hills and the coast was perfect. The pool and gardens were fabulous and our boys were happy to spend endless hours swimming or playing cards by the poolside. Being able to go out of the garden gate and be in one of the village tavernas in just a few minutes was great and we made the most of the home-grown vegetables and home-made taramasalata on offer. When we didn't eat in the village, it was less than 10 mins to drive to Benitses. The villa is a great base to see all the island and we enjoyed lots of day trips out and loved wandering the streets in the old part of Corfu Town. The villa is a traditional family home with plenty of space and good facilities - and our experience of booking through Jane and Chris is probably the most friendly and efficient service we've ever had. We've all struggled to get used to UK temperatures on our return home and definitely have half a mind still in Villa Rossi and Corfu!

A lot of space inside and outside. Very well maintained house. A very steep road to the gate of the house. Our car didn't make it to reach the house with four (two elderly children) people inside the car. Three of us had to walk the last 50 meters! Further on around the swimming pool (although it is really nice) a lot of wasps like the the same spot. The airco in the house works perfect. The beds are good. The veranda is a good place to avoid the hot Greek sun! I can recommend this house.

The villa lived up to its listing and the accommodation was comfortable, the veranda was perfect for breakfast and relaxing throughout the day, as it offered a cool place to sit with lovely views. The villa staff offered an easy booking facility and were on hand for any help or issues during our stay. The pool and gardens were ideal and very welcome on hot days, although not a problem for us, the pool did attract a continual amount of wasps who seemed to use the edges of the pool to cool down. We travelled the island extensively and found the local population to be most welcoming and friendly. We dined at both local restaurants in Gastouri and the food was very good. Would definitely recommend Mezza Volta in Benitses (the first restaurant on the way in to Benitses from Gastouri) and meet Johnny Love who is proud of his multi coloured shoes, the food was very good. You will need a car. Overall would recommend Villa Rossi as an ideal tranquil location to enjoy Corfu.

Very well maintained. Lovely pool. Really need a car not really within walking distance to amenities. There were no condiments supplied so we needed to shop for everything ie salt, pepper etc. It is in the country so be prepared for roosters, owls and stray cats. Would be ideal for a family vacation.

We had a very enjoyable time in Corfu and the villa was very good. The only criticism is that the villa was cold when we arrived and at night, and the central heating was not available. Friendly and helpful house keeper and gardener who reconnected the water supply when it went off. thank you

Four of us enjoyed a wonderful week at Villa Rossi. The villa was large, well equipped and clean and tidy for us on arrival. The owners were easily contactable and made sure we had all the information we needed for a smooth arrival. The outdoor space is lovely and relaxing and the upstairs terrace a great late afternoon suntrap. The area is very quiet (a car is really needed) but we found a wonderful Taverna (Lefteris) just a two minute walk away (just before the Palace) with wonderful food and a very welcoming owner - we tried some of the other places past the Palace which had great views but the food was poor! Overall we loved our stay at the Villa and would book again!

We had a great week. 2 minutes to walk to a couple of local Tavernas, and close to the Palace. The villas was well equipped, both inside and out, and very private. The whole booking process was very easy indeed, with Jane and the team quick to answer any questions. Highly recommended !!!! Thanks again !!!

Villa Rossi did not disappoint We were a large mixed party that came and went through the 17 days we stayed in the villa. The property quickly became home for us. The area is perfect, walking distance to the number one tourist attraction on Corfu, The Achileon Palace. Great local restaurants within walking distance and a well equipped kitchen and outdoor grill that we put to good use. The villa is large and comfortable We will definitely stay there on our next visit to Corfu. If I had one thing that I could change it would be to add one more ac unit in the upstairs living /dining area. But with some help from the bedroom units it was kept comfortable as we solved puzzle after puzzle late into the night. I can't say too much for Jane. She was easy to talk with and added much to our comfort while being there Great pool, beautiful view of old town and the airport from the veranda. All in all a great place. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!

We had an amazing time at the villa and on wonderful Corfu. The description of the property didn't really do it justice. Jane from Prestige Villas couldn't have been more helpful. The lady who came to change the bedding mid holiday was so lovely, and didn't put us out in any way. The pool guy, and the gardener were really nice. The gardener was especially helpful, inquiring, if it was ok to cut the grass. He also helped my daughter who had problems with her hire car. I would definitely recommend the villa to family and friends. The only small things we would suggest, would be to reposition the TV, to make it easier for everyone to watch, and perhaps have two large sofas, rather than one large and one smaller. It was a bit of a squeeze when all six of us wanted to watch TV. We had lovely meals out especially at Klimitaria in Benitses. In fact most places we ate, the food was really good. The only disappointment was a meal at Etrusco, which is supposed to be the best restaurant on the island. We went there on the last evening of our holiday to celebrate two birthdays. Despite warning them well in advance that our daughter has Coeliac disease, and that two of our party didn't eat meat, they were repeatedly given food with things in that they couldn't eat. We would definitely recommend a visit to the Achillion Palace,which is within walking distance. Corfu town is lovely to visit and has lots to explore. Also the monastery at Paleocastrictos is lovely, but can be very busy with tourists We would definitely recommend a visit to Panto Krator for absolutely amazing views. Overall we had such a wonderful holiday. Everywhere we went people were so friendly and helpful. Perhaps that's why we all love Corfu so much!

We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Rossi. Booking with Jane waseasy and informative. We hired a car through Jane's contact and pick up at the airport was excellent, they even helped us put our luggage on the roof rack of the Fiat Doblo.Instructions to the villa were accurate, don't be put off by the last bit as it's a bit hairy,but good fun. Once you see the villa all will be forgotten as it's spacious, clean, well equipped and has a fabulous terrace where we spent most of our time when we weren't by the pool or out and about. We would thoroughly recommend Villa Rossi.

We have just returned from our third visit to Villa Rossi. This villa never fails us. Its location and facilities are excellent. Its ideal for a relaxing family holiday with lovely beaches only 15 minutes away. The owners have very much thought of everything, and the pool and garden area is beautifully maintained. Also within 20 minutes is Corfu town and also Aqua land. This year, we explored Corfu town at greater length and discovered its full of hidden charm with a cosmopolitan feel. The village of Gastorui is extremely picturesque and friendly, with Achillion palace a short 10 minute walk away. We strongly recommend a hire car but found nearly all the places we visited were no more than 20 minutes away. To sum things up we thoroughly recommend Villa Rossi and look to return again one day.

Great villa...exactly as described...great pool, good beds, very clean, very private. We loved it. Jane from Owners Direct was a big help. Make sure you book a taxi Or that your hire car is at the airport, as getting a taxi can take ages. There is a great restaurant in the village, Stiros has the best Lamb in Cofru and Carol his wife makes the best home cooked food. Niko's bar is a proper local bar, he even got us fresh bread every day. The village is a two minute walk, straight out the side gate and turn right. If you've never been to Corfu before, then you've missed out. This was 12th time and we love it. Beautiful villa, beautiful Island, wonderful food and lovely people...what more could you want!

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday, staying in Villa Rossi in Gastouri. After a couple of failed attempts, we eventually found the villa (I'd recommend downloading a GPS map on to your phone) and our first impressions were that it was exactly as described on the listing, perfectly clean, tidy, and very well maintained. Throughout the booking process, I found Jane, who manages the property extremely helpful, and she responded to my (numerous) questions very quickly. I contacted her upon arrival at the villa, using the phone in the villa and she answered immediately, providing us with directions to the local village, which was literally 2 mins walk away. The village has two restaurants, a mini market and a bakery all of which we made good use of. The Achillieon Palace is also within walking distance. The Villa is perfect for families; the pool is large, and the grounds are lovely. Be warned though, the road to the villa is extremely narrow and will challenge the most experienced driver. The villa is very private, with just one neighbouring house at the back lived in by a friendly local family who gave us some freshly laid chicken eggs! We did manage to venture out a couple of times, although would have been perfectly happy to stay by the pool all day (with the occasional break inside to cool down with the lovely air conditioning). We visited a beach once, the excellent Aqualand, and the old fortress in Corfu town. We ventured into Benitses a few times for dinner and can honestly say the the whole time we were there, not once did we have a bad meal. Eating out with four children all of whom are fussy eaters was always going to be a challenge, so thank goodness for Souvlaki - plain chicken kebab and chips in a pita bread. The kids thought they were in heaven! We tried lots of local wine, and the local corfiot beer which was lovely. All in, a fantastic holiday, and a great Villa. Couldn't have asked for more.

OUTSTANDING For the last four years we have been very fortunate that our group (two early twenties adults with respective boy / girl friends; a teenager and the ubiquitous older parents!!) have managed to yearly enjoy Villa holidays together. All have been superb but this year Villa Rossi outshone all of them. Why? Firstly; Jane who manages the Villa would score a 5 star review in her own right for her friendly, knowledgeable and helpful approach before, during and after the holiday……………..not sure anyone else could have possibly found a table tennis table for us to rent on Corfu Island!! The whole booking process was a pleasure and their car hire “meet and greet” package is invaluable. I asked each of the group for one or a few words to describe the villa and received epic, stunning, perfect, superbly clean, wow, well-furnished and awesome veranda. The gardens and pool elicited similar expressions which is not surprising as it is a brilliant sized pool surrounded by more than enough garden space to play all sorts of games in. The village centre is 2 / 3 minute walk (exit right via garden side personnel gate, through pink arch and right down the slope………left and up the slope takes you to the Grill Room restaurant and the Achilleion Palace) and its tavernas, mini markets, bakery and shops. All very helpful, pleasant and with very reasonable pricing. Our vote for outstanding taverna went to the “to pouli tsi kotas” Bistrot run by the multi lingual Spiros and Carole and located just to the left of the steps down into the village…….a must visit for all to enjoy exquisite local produce and wine. Within 20 / 30 minute drive of Villa Rossi you have as many restaurants, shops, supermarkets, beaches, views, places to sightsee, water sports, water-park, marinas etc. as any one person or family could possible want on a holiday. In summary, Villa Rossi is managed by the perfect Jane, sits in exquisite gardens which also host a wonderful pool, is furnished beautifully, strolling distance to a pretty village with a great taverna and provides easy access to all holiday amenities. In “one word” Villa Rossi is OUTSTANDING!

Our first visit to Corfu and so pleased that we found this lovely villa to stay in. The village of Gastouri is a sleepy village with a couple of tavernas and bars. The local people are so friendly and were very welcoming. We found the booking system and car hire very straight forward as were the directions to the accommodation and the accurate description. Others mentioned the driveway which i must admit was quite steep but not a problem. The villa was well presented and comfortable .The highlight was the superb pooll which we certainly put to use. Proton supermarket is a 5 minute drive for your essentials and was well stocked. We ate out several times at lefteris grill room taverna, five minutes walk next to the palace and superb food and prices. We did venture out to other areas and were never dissapointed, lovely beach at Agios Georgios and Agios Gordis, Corfu town is well worth a trip and we did this by local bus for a change, I would recommend the villa to those looking for a peaceful location, spacious property with great gardens and pool.

Villa Rossi is located in Gastouri village within walking distance of the Achillion palace and only a 10-15 min drive from Corfu town and Benitses. The village has a small bakery and a couple of cafes/ restaurants though very sleepy in late May when we visited. It has a central location within the Island so made a good base from which to explore. The Villa is well furnished in classic style and has plenty of crockery and kitchen utensils though you do need a degree to work the oven! There is a fantastic covered balcony off the first floor which overlooks the pool with cracking views toward Corfu town and the local hills. Because it is covered it only receives the sun for a short while in the evening which would be fine in June/ July etc. but was a little Chilly in May. However there is another eating area in the garden and lots of sun loungers around the pool. Our two boys loved the pool and although it was May it wasn't too chilly. We visited Glyfada beach whilst we were there which was beautiful and not spoiled by tourism. Overall our family spanning three generations had a fab time. Thanks to Jane from Prestige Villas who helped with the booking and any queries we had.

Having just returned from a super holiday in Corfu, we felt we should add to what is already a list of shining reviews for this villa. Originally booked it early in the year and found Jane to be extremely helpful with her prompt replies and information regarding the house and area. She organised the hire car which we were very pleased with. A brand new Peugeot 301. The Meet & Greet service was fast and efficient and we were out of the airport and on our way within minutes. The directions were very good and we found the villa very easily. The lane to the villa is narrow though and the drive way rather a challenge, it was difficult to navigate on our arrival but we soon got used to it. Don't let this put you off though, the house, pool and gardens are absolutely stunning. The house itself has the feel of a lovely family home and not the usual basic villa you would get out of a brochure. It's located in a really quaint area of the village and the gardens and huge pool are very private. The gardens are stunning, with lawns and trees for privacy and shade, all immaculately kept. Having not heard of the area we were a little dubious as to whether we would have to use the car each night to find places to eat. However, we found a short cut from the villa through the pretty village footpaths to the high street and we enjoyed some wonderful evenings at the local taverna's on the high street, a bonus especially as we were able to walk home. This is a holiday off the beaten track, without Tourists and the prices reflect it. The locals are really friendly and the food is delicious. For a livelier evening we would recommend Benitses which 30 years ago was a disco resort. Not now, it's full of lovely family tavernas and plenty of places to sit and watch the world go by, it really has a lovely atmosphere. Corfu Town is an absolute must see town. One of the most picturesque towns we have visited. You feel like you are in Venice without the canals!! So to sum this holiday up, an excellent efficient booking procedure, a superb car and a stunning villa in a beautiful setting, probably one of the best holidays we have ever had as a family. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

After spending a week sailing around the Ionion, I though the holiday couldn?t get any better..... How wrong I was. The Villa is absolutely stunning, it has it all. Beautiful grounds, swimming pool, views from the balcony into the hills of Corfu on one side and the bay near Corfu town from the other. All the furniture, in-door and out-door is of a very high quality and each bedroom has its own air conditioning unit and very comfortable beds. Jane who manages the property is very helpful and arranged our car hire which was delivered to the marina and collected from the airport at the end of the holiday. Jane also granted us access to the Villa at 10 in the morning which made the switch from Yacht to Villa seamless. You need to try the mixed grill at Spiros?s tavern 100 yards from the villa but if you have females in the party they should be prepared to be serenaded! The pictures simply don?t do the villa justice; I will definitely be booking again!
