Villa Durrell

We did enjoy our holiday. The villa and its location were perfect. The pool was super.

The house had not been cleaned when we arrived and a some items were broken. We discussed if we should just move out but in the end stayed. Some items were fixed while we were there, but I did not want work men in the house when on holiday. The main road at rush hour was noisy, but there is a little beach very close with a resturant which good.

We had a fabulous week at Villa Durrell. The house is very comfortable, with lots of space for a family with 4 adult children. The pool together with large garden gave plenty of space for all of us. Perfectly situated for beach, tavernas and the bus route to and from Corfu town. Note: The house is a family home and when not let out is lived in for 7 months of the year.

The villa was very nice and our stay was enjoyable. Did have a couple of issues1. Having to chase up fresh towels and after about a week or so were replaced. 2. Continually chased for the bedding to be changed which was finally changed 2 night before we left (13 night stay).The issue was due to their being new cleaner's and due to the issues apparently will now not be retained so others will not experience this going forward.3. The pool had a 3 inch green line above the water line when we arrived which whilst a little unsightly did not effect usage/enjoyment etc. That was until all our swimwear was stained green after using the pool. More chemicals were added but by the time we left it was still the same. The response was prompt but can only assume the chemicals needed time to sort out the issue.Aside of the pool of course I would be concerned if i had a young family or elderly people given the spiral staircase which needed a lot of concentration to go up and down (probably mentioned in the property details).Also whilst we found the 2 cats delightful and a joy to see them in the garden etc. If you don't care for cats then this is not for you. Like i say we loved them there so not an issue.

This is an excellent place for family vacation in Corfu. The property has everything one is looking for: it is spacious and clean, it has a wonderful garden with a pool, it is located close to Corfu-city, but in a quiet environment, there is a mini-market and a small restaurant nearby, and it is well serviced. For sure, we would like come back.
