The hosts with the most
Incredible place to stay in Corfu. The cottage itself was well appointed and spacious, and a shared deck with a beautiful view of Corfu. But the best part of the stay are the hosts, who go out of their way to welcome you; they are very outgoing and just love to meet travelers, and are just the sweetest (and most interesting) people. When I think of our stay in Corfu, we did many things on the island that were great, but I always think of the hosts as a highlight of the trip. And her kumquat marmalade was delectable!

Fantastic stay
We stayed for 4 nights recently with our family including 2 boys aged 6 and 11. We met Jane on the first night who gave us the rundown on the property and the location, we had a lovely chat out on the balcony with beautiful views out over the sea. The property had everything we needed and some lovely homely touches - Jane was always on hand to advise of restaurants and her recommendations were spot on. Thoroughly recommend.

Wonderful villa, amazing views
Villa Stephanie is a real home from home - so comfortable and well-kitted out with everything you need to self-cater on holiday - full-size fridge freezer, well-equipped kitchen and efficient washing machine - also super comfortable, massive bed. But it’s the outside space that makes Villa Stephanie truly amazing. There’s a choice of two patio areas and gorgeous garden with table and chairs in the shade of olive trees surrounding the villa, plus a spacious veranda with a view over the bay. Stepping up here after a day of walking in the hills never failed to take our breath away! Jane is a wonderful host, always on hand (both before and during our stay) with advice and information, but never intrusive. We’ve rented several Greek villas in the past and Villa Stephanie has been the most wonderful by miles! Thanks so much Jane. We’ve only been back for a day and we are already trying to plan when we can come back!

Fabulous place and host!
I stayed at Villa Nova for a week. The villa was beautiful and Jane was such a brilliant host (Helping her out with phone charger, brolly and suggestions on restaurants/ beaches etc). The location is perfect - a short walk to the beaches and lots of lovely tavernas and Grocery shops. The villa was spotless, soft towels, fully equipped kitchen (plus a bottle of wine, bread, milk, fruit, honey and hot drinks left for me on arrival;)) The garden and terraces are beautiful and perfect for relaxing over breakfast and in th3 evenings. I would stay again without a doubt and 100% recommend the villa. Thank you to Jane;)

Set amongst the beautiful hills and minutes from countless coves and beaches
Janes villa is set on the lower hills at Paleokastritsa. It has pretty gardens and various terraces, one of which has the most beautiful views over the marina, sea and various coves and rolling coastline. The villa itself is simple yet comfortable, and Jane had, on our arrival supplied us with fresh bread, cold water, juice, milk coffee etc. Jane herself has known Paleokastritsa getting on for 50 years, so can give plenty of information and advice, if wanted, on where to visit and how to spend your time. She is a person full of character and stories, well travelled, and clearly enjoys having guests, without beginning invasive. Whilst there, I felt home from home. We enjoyed the tavernas and restaurants, a local bus trip into Corfu Town - which I loved, and boat trips to the caves and Limni beach. The atmosphere is laid back and simple. The people friendly and easy going. It isn't 5 star glamour, but you do have a sense of being part of it, not just a tourist! I like that! Please note my comments are made during Covid

Wonderful stay on Corfu
A great location for our 2 night stay on Corfu. We did not rent a car so being able to walk to interesting destinations was important. Jane was wonderfully helpful in giving us advice on where to walk, where to eat, etc. The town itself was perfect for our wind-down from a hiking trip in the Zagori and Meteora region of Greece. The accommodations were nice and the elevated patio (seen in the photo on VRBO) is lovely. Jane is a very interesting person and we greatly enjoyed our conversations with her. Thank you Jane!

Wish we could've stayed longer
Villa Stephanie was perfect for us. Jane and her husband Malcolm were charming; they made sure we had everything we needed plus suggestions for day trips, hikes and restaurants. The kitchen was fully functional; the bed was a lovely king size and there was a comfortable sitting area to relax in. But best of all was the amazing view down to the ocean from the top deck.

Amazing location, clean and comfortable villa and excellent hospitality.
The villa is clean and very homely. It has a well equipped kitchen and positioned in a nice peaceful location up on the mountains. The patio has an excellent view to the sea. It’s easy to get to the beaches with a short walk. Jane was a great host, she gave us many tips about places to visit and was readily available if we needed anything. We would definitely come stay again.

Fabulous, relaxing, recommended
We loved this place. Fantastic views in a great location overlooking the bay. Brilliant villa with everything you need, fully equipped kitchen so perfect for the family. It also has the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on. I want that bed!!! Jane is a fantastic host. There was nothing she didn’t help with or advise us on. If you want to go to Corfu make this the place you stay at. You will not be disappointed. We hope to go back. Thanks again Jane. Missing it everyday day!!

Great villa with a world class host!
Jane is the best host I have ever had! She was very welcoming and helped us in every aspect during our trip. She was always there for us whenever we needed help and went the extra mile for anything we asked! She helped us find great spots to eat and where to go around Paleocastritsa. The villa itself is amazing! It has all the amenities you could possibly need. We was a group of friends and slept very comfortably there. The view on the upper terrance is magnificent. You have a panoramic view of the sea, which takes your breath away! You can literally sit there for hours taking it all in! The location of the villa is ideal if you want to stay in Paleocastritsa. The main beach is a short walk from the villa as well as many restaurants. The bus stop is also a 2 minute walk which connects you to Corfu Town, which was ideal for us as we had to catch a coach to Athens from there. If you are planning in having a great villa surrounded by breathtaking views, I highly recommend Villa Stephanie!
