A lovely, comfortable apartment with one of the best views in Corfu!
My wife and I stayed in this apartment, apartment Flora, for two weeks in July 2018. It is a spacious, comfortable apartment, situated above the owners' accommodation, but completely private and separate from it. The apartment is located in a large,quiet, peaceful, terraced garden in an olive grove in the hills on the western edge of the popular resort of Acharavi, and within a few minutes drive of the holiday resort of Roda. Although there are a few other houses in the larger area, our accommodation was completely private and not overlooked, screened by the many olive trees and shrubs in the landscaped garden.
The apartment has a large lounge/dining room, a very well-equipped kitchen, a double bedroom with large en-suite bathroom, a second bedroom with two single beds, and a separate shower room with w.c. and wash basin. There is a wide L-shaped balcony to front and side, with absolutely stunning views of Acharavi and Roda, Almiros, the olive groves, the sea, and the Albanian mountains beyond. We spent lots of time drinking some wine, eating some nuts and olives, and just admiring the view, and watching the yachts and windsurfers...don't forget your binoculars! (although there was a tripod-mounted telescope in the lounge for checking out the passing ferries etc).
There is plenty of room on the balcony for al fresco dining; in fact, a large dining table and chairs are provided, and a few easy chairs, round tables, and sun loungers are also available. The balcony can be accessed from both the lounge and the main bedroom.
The whole apartment has what, for us, was the major benefit of very effective fly screens to all the major doors and windows, so you're not troubled by flying insects. As far as I'm concerned, there's not much worse than laying in bed and hearing that high-pitched whine of a mosquito targeting your ear; well, here it didn't happen!
The apartment has its own private access and front entrance door, separate from the owner's accommodation. Outside the front door is a secluded, private patio area, with table and chairs, and shaded by shrubs, a great place to sit and read a book and drink some (more!) wine, as a change from the balcony.
The owners themselves, Ursula and Spiros, were very friendly and welcoming, and made us feel right at home.
We'd recommend this apartment for an enjoyable stay, without hesitation. We will be back!
