You seem on top of the world at Villa Michael. Doukades is 575 meters above sea level. The Villa is level with Doukades. So the Villa commands great views over to the mainland to the East and the mountains on the west coast of the island.
You can see the sea in two places and often see cruise liners making their way up the Ionian Sea.
In the winter you can see snow on the mountains. Which often lasts until early April.
You can just sit on the balconies and look out at the view for hours.
Betty our villa manager is always on hand for advice and help if you need it. She lives 5 minutes away.

Nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances dans cette maison ! Merci à Betty (la personne qui gère la maison) pour sa disponibilité et son chaleureux accueil.
Villa Michael is set in a fantastic location overlooking a beautiful view. The local village, Doukades, is a short drive away (or walk if you fancy it!) and the atmosphere is wonderful.
We were greeted at the villa by Betty and it was immaculate with all the facilities we needed. The master bedroom was particularly impressive, I couldn't get used that view! One of our party is disabled and the villa was perfect for this too. Betty was fabulous, so friendly and welcoming making sure we were ok throughout our stay.
The comfort of being able to cancel if the pandemic took a turn for the worse meant we had no concerns in booking either.
Overall a fantastic stay and welcome break from the crazy times especially in the UK. Thank you!

Great house in a great location
The house has amazing views and is in a beautiful location. The nearby village of Doukades is charming. You need a car but most of the island is very accessible from there. Corfu is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Wat a great place to go on holiday. I think the best we ever had !
We have been at villa Michael from 28 april to 5 may with our family (5 persons). A very complete house with 4 master bedrooms. The beds are very good (for sleeping). When you have a laptop, you can connect with the television. Good gaming for kids. But outsite is the best becaude of the view en the swimming pool. Nice, fresh en clean. We come back for sure !

Parfait , royal, idéal, un coin de paradis
Excellent séjour. Nous y étions du 21 au 28 avril. Temps magnifique. Début de semaine à 23 et fin de semaine à 30°. Petit déjeuner tous les matins sur la terrasse face à la piscine avec vue imprenable sur les monts et les champs d'oliviers. Corfu est une jolie île avec de superbes visites. Ne pas rater le palais de Sissi et la maison du tournage des Durrell et pour cette derniere merci à notre hôtesse Betty sans qui nous n'aurions jamais trouvé..super Betty !
Les restaurants de doukades sont typiques et pas chers. Pas la peine d'aller plus loin.
Marks notre hôte a été toujours très attentionné.

Brand new and beautiful villa in a private location.
A large and comfortable villa offering peace and privacy, situated on a hill amidst olive groves. If you like modern accommodation with clean lines and lots of marble and glass and spectacular views then this is the villa for you. Live like James Bond for a week. The villa can been seen from a distance and is particularly attractive at night when the driveway lights are all on and it twinkles on the hillside. Despite the villa being a modern day retreat, the local village Doukades with its village square, which is 10-15 minutes walk away, offers you a taste of authentic Greek life so that you can truly feel that you have experienced Corfiot hospitality. Undoubtedly the best villa that we have stayed in with excellent housekeeping facilities if you require them.

About the host
Hosted by Mark Butters
I am a builder. Along with my business partner Gordon. We have built Villa Michael over the last 5 years. We were introduced to the area by our friend Michael. Michael died in 2010 before he had the chance to move to Corfu. We named the villa after him.
Why they chose this property
We looked at other land in the area. This was the best land we looked at. With the views and close to the sea and villages. The position speaks for itself.
What makes this property unique
Seclusion but ten minutes from Paleokastritsa Views Close to Village and tavernas. Sought after village. Great Tavernas. Walking Stunning scenery
