    Maybe it would be ok to give one small towel for hands and one for food when you go out of the shower.

    Very nice apartment in quite part of Corfu. Situation is a bit far from the bus station, but it was even better for us because we like to walk. Apartment has everything what we needed. Hosts are vey friendly and were ready to help 🙂

    I would suggest adding more pans and definitely a microwave.

    Beautiful pool and location, literally 50 metres away from the beach. Perfect if you are looking for a relaxing holiday. The apartment is good, I would just suggest adding a microwave. The owners are super kind and helped us with a little problem with the stove. They came right away and fixed it. Also I could stay in the apartment until 4.30 pm without extra charge as I was travelling with a baby and our flight was in the evening. I would love to come back!

    Not possible to improve proximity to busy duel carriageway that had to be crossed to get the bus to Corfu Town or (very good) supermarket. Traffic lights at our end were broken so highly unpleasant 10 min trek long narrow pavement necessary to next set and 10 mins back to supermarket - repeated once shopping done!

    Typical Greek property, good sized apt, amazing swimming pool set in beautiful gardens, lovely views, near beach, exptremely pleasant helpful proprietors.

    It would have been helpful to have the opening hours of the pool bar posted (or consistently followed). We originally understood it was open every day from 9am - 8pm, but it was rainy a couple of days & it seems like they just decided not to open… It was hard to find staff to talk to in person, but I guess we could have tried on the Booking.com messaging system sooner.

    Amazing pool & fabulous pool bar/café (when it was open). The room was comfortable & everyone was very friendly. Easy walking distance to a nice little beach & several different restaurants plus a small market. We had a very relaxing stay.

    The wifi could have been better. The beds are a bit hard but we think they are hard allover Greece so no different to other places we have stayed in Greece.

    Beautiful pool and gardenarea. they played mellow loungemusic instead of eurodisco which was really nice for a change. The food and drinks were nice. we tried most of the food on the menu and can not complain on anything. Nice people who run the place.

    The eating area in the apartment was a bit small.

    Especially the kids loved the nice swimming pool with its surrounding. The staff was really helpful and courteous, supportive especially regarding apartment selection/allocation. The sitting at bar/Café outside was really nice, under shady twigs.

    Nothing

    We stayed here for 2 nights at short notice due to my wife going to hospital and being unable to fly. Location was perfect in regards to hospital and airport. This is a family run apartment property and were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and had everything you required for self catering plus they had their own snack / pool bar. The pool area is lovely and I would happily stay there again in the future.

    Shower was so small the shower curtain clung to you - but water pressure was good.

    Lovely family-run complex. Giannis does everything he can to make your stay enjoyable and to advise on local activities. He even found a mattress topper when my son found his bed a little too hard. Apartment a bit dated but for the price was very comfortable. Wonderful, huge pool at complex with new, comfy sun loungers and bar attached for drinks, snacks and breakfast. Nice garden. Unspoilt, uncommercialised part of Corfu. Lovely little beach with restaurant and sun beds just minutes away and there are water activities at the Kontokali Bay hotel just down the beach. Gouvia marina with restaurants about 20 mins walk (apartments look out over water to marina in distance). Also a fish restaurant very close, but the restaurant we loved most was the grill at the top of the road next to the small grocery shop round the corner from the bus stop. Lovely, very reasonable food. The apartment is 20-15 mins walk from a supermarket and the bus stop. Regular buses into nearby Corfu Town (blue bus no 7), which is well worth visiting. Tickets from driver but much cheaper to get them from bus station kiosk in Corfu Town (book of 10 even cheaper). Green buses also leave for Palaiokastritsa beach on the other side of the island and for Kassiopi (buy tickets on bus). We got to the apartment easily from the airport by bus (change in Corfu Town). We also visited Aqualand, which was about 20 mins by taxi (arranged by Giannis), although you can also do it with 2 buses. Gerekos Island is not for people who want night life and glitz and action, but we loved it. A big thank you to Giannis, his mum and sister for such a relaxing stay

    It took about 10 minutes to walk to the nearest shop, 15-20 minutes into Kontokali and 40 minutes to Gouvia. This wasn’t an issue for us at all (and it made the apartment nice and peaceful), but it’s something to note if anyone struggles with mobility.

    The apartments are in a lovely quiet location, a few minutes walk to a small sandy beach with a lovely beach bar/restaurant and clear water. The staff were very friendly and helpful, staying up late to accommodate our late check in and allowing us to check out whenever was convenient. The pool on site is surrounded by sun beds and is a great deep pool for swimming. There is a snack bar on site which serves drinks, breakfast and food throughout the day. It was about a 15 minute walk into Kontokali where there are a number of restaurants, it took about 40 minutes to walk from the apartment to the strip in Gouvia (although we preferred Kontokali!). The apartment was in need of a touch of modernisation, but it was clean and comfy and for the price we had absolutely no complaints, we will definitely stay again if we come back to Corfu!

    Friendly host family, provided good options for breakfast and evening drinks at their new snack bar. Large, deep pool with nice garden surroundings. Very relaxed feel to the place, was ideal for our last night in Corfu. Beach with good taverna just a few mins walk away, plus another taverna 100m in other direction overlooking boats etc. Apartment was clean and comfortable with balcony overlooking the pool. The host seemed to be very helpful recommending places to visit by vehicle to other guests who were staying longer than us, so seems like could be a good base for a longer stay. Very much enjoyed swimming in the large, peaceful pool.
