Prestige Villas | GASTOURI VILLAGE | 2 Mins walk to Tavernas, Lawned Gardens

Just a 2 minute walk through the quaint sleepy village to the high Street where there are tavernas, a couple of bars and a mini-market. Only a 5 minute drive from the beach and the picturesque resort of Benitses with its new marina and a great choice of restaurants makes Villa Rossi a perfect choice for a Greek holiday. A beautifully restored country house located in a peaceful rural area on the edge of the award winning picturesque village of Gastouri. Once the home of the owners Great Grandmother ‘Rossi’ from Scotland who married a local Corfiot, it has now been lovingly restored and furnished to a very high standard after standing derelict for many years. Through the private electric gates and along the sweeping drive you can only be impressed as you arrive. The tropical gardens are simply stunning with lawns across to the extremely large pool and sunbathing areas with high quality sun loungers with comfortable cushions, parasols and garden furniture. It comfortably sleeps six guests but with the facility of a further two. There are beautiful views of Corfu Town and the sea beyond from the enormous covered veranda and it's a wonderful dining area and cool, relaxing lounge area during the very hot months. We have repeat guests each year and our reviews speak for themselves. We are sure you will love it!!

Family holiday
Exactly as described and more. We loved this holiday. We had everything we needed and our grandchildren loved the pool. The grill bar in the village, 5 mins walk away served good food and a trip into Benitses and Corfu town gave a generous choice of restaurants. The drive up to the villa is an adventure but doable and we managed to make friends with our neighbours dog Olly. We had a lot of support from the housekeeper, pool guy and gardener, and im sure if there had been anything wrong it would have been sorted immediately. No complaints just smiles all the way.

Spacious Elegant Villa in the hills
Enjoyed this villa very much. It is tucked away in a much older hilltop area near the achilleon palace. Some visitors have complained about the driveway and steepness but it was not a problem for us in a medium sized car. The floor plan is a little unusual with kitchen upstairs off the veranda and a sitting area downstairs. It worked well to give two couples some separation when needed. The veranda was spacious and airy with distant views north to Corfu town. Enjoyed the landscape. Quiet, and privacy. The private pool as a nice respite from the hordes at the beaches. Prestige villas fixed a plumbing issue with the water heater immediately when we called so we were very happy with them. Our only complaint is that the coffee maker was on its last legs, and kitchen knives were pretty poor for cooking. It was stocked with beer, wine, instant coffee and some snacks. We got ground coffee and clothes soap on our own. Walking through gastouri in the evening was beautiful. No other visitors around just us and the locals. Could not really walk to any tavernas in the evening. Perhaps closed due to COVID. Town of Benitses an easy drive down to the coast. O stratos we ate twice and was excellent. The owner of the villa was supposed to come and fix the TV service but he never showed. So we missed a few UCL matches - so what. All in all, we loved this place. Had a wonderful 6 night stay.

Nice place
We had a really good stay at the villa. There is plenty of space outside and upstairs on the covered balcony. Good size pool. Villa is very conveniently located for getting anywhere else on the island. Property management was very helpful, gardeners friendly and efficient. Would recommend

Fabulous pool and amazing grounds which took our breath away!
Villa Rossi is a beautiful house and very big ( a bit too big for the two of us, but we couldn’t resist that pool! There was excellent air con in the bedrooms - very welcome as the temperature was in the mid 30’s. Our only disappointment really was with the kitchen which is very small for the size of the house. It is only minutes to drive to most places we needed to go to, and this is a great area to stay in. Everyone we met was extremely friendly, and we loved the waving and greetings from our elderly neighbours down the road! There are hornets by the pool, but they had no interest in us, and we quickly learned to ignore them. We had a great time,

Great.
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.

Beautiful Villa
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.

Beautiful situation, lovely villa.
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

Such a lovely house set in beautiful surroundings.
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!
