Description

Nestled in mature olive groves above Avlaki Bay, with wonderful views over the headlands of north east Corfu, Villa Aurora provides the perfect setting for a relaxing family holiday. Set in an acre of grounds, Aurora offers exclusivity and seclusion, yet all essential holiday amenities are close by. Avlaki beach, with its crystal-clear waters and two excellent tavernas, is a short walk down a track that winds through the olive groves to the beach. The waters edge tavernas of Agios Stefanos and the bustling harbour of Kassiopi are only a few minutes’ drive. The villa’s many communal and private spaces make it ideal for families holidaying together.

*** Special Offer """ 20% off bookings of 10 days or more that either start or finish on the same day as an existing booking ***

Aurora provides spacious and well-appointed accommodation. There are two double and two twin bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms. All bedrooms are fitted with air conditioning, and have vaulted ceilings and ample storage facilities. French doors from the bedrooms lead onto a balcony that runs the entire length of the villa, providing wonderful views of the Corfu Channel and Albanian mountains. The master bedroom has space for a cot and a futon for younger children, enabling the villa to accommodate 8 adults and 2 young children.

Downstairs, the contemporary furnished open plan living space includes a fully equipped kitchen with island breakfast bar. French doors lead to an outdoor veranda with comfortable seating and dining areas. Retractable insect screens have recently been installed to this area to create an outdoor space in which to eat, drink and relax, free of uninvited flying guests - extremely useful in the summer months. For those needing to stay in touch, we will be installing Elon Musk's Starlink high-speed internet for the 2024 season.

The swimming pool measures 10m x 5m with a depth from 0.5m to 1.9m, and is surrounded by a generous patio. Access to the pool can be restricted via a gate at the top of the steps leading from the veranda to the pool. In the early and late seasons, an air source heat pump takes the chill off the pool water, raising it to a few degrees higher than it would otherwise be.

Our ever helpful and fully bilingual property manager, Natushka provides a meet and greet service together with a complimentary welcome pack containing essentials. She and her husband Yianni are available throughout your holiday, to assist with any problems that might arise during your stay. The villa is serviced twice weekly; bed linen, bath towels and pool towels are provided.

The property is registered for holiday rentals with the Greek National Tourist Office, EOT licence number 0829K10TK8213001. We are very pleased to have many regular families who book from one year to the next and have written some generous reviews "more of a holiday home rather than a holiday let".

Kitchen facilities include electric oven, ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, drinks fridge and filter coffee maker. A separate snug room includes a smart TV enabling you to enjoy your favourite subscription channels whilst away on holiday. The dining room, with its circular marble table, is perfect for cooler evenings or late night card games. There is a ground floor toilet / cloakroom and a utility room with washing machine.

Majestic olive trees line the entrance to the grounds surrounding the villa. The gardens bordering the house and pool host a wide variety or Mediterranean plants. The poolside patio has sun beds and a large umbrella providing shade from the midday sun. A pergola, set slightly above the pool area, provides a quiet space if you need a bit of 'me time'. There is a BBQ to prepare a sumptuous supper and a table tennis table to work it off the following day.

The area is well served by excellent tavernas serving delicious, freshly cooked local dishes. Cavo Barbaro and Taverna Avlaki are just a 700m walk down an old olive grove track to Avlaki Bay, where you can dine overlooking the sea. There are water's edge tavernas in Agios Stefanos, (Eucalyptus, Kaparelli, Galini and Kochili) and many more tavernas and bars in Kassiopi (Tavernaki, Petrino, Little Italy, Vasilikos pizzeria, Wave Bar and Harbour Bar). Alternatively take a water taxi from Agios Stefanos to Taverna Agni for a memorable evening. Local supermarkets are only a five minute's drive - Yannis Market in Sinies provides online shopping and will deliver to the, villa.

Hiring a motor boat is a fun way to explore the idyllic coves that are the signature of North East Corfu’s beauty, made famous by Gerald Durrell's books and more recently by Mama Mia! - I have a dream. Stop for a swim off the beautiful beaches of the Erimitis headland, then head down to Kalami, Agni or Nissaki for lunch. Kerasia beach, possibly the most beautiful beach in Corfu, is reached via Agios Stefanos where there are sun beds, a drinks bar, and fabulous taverna, enabling you to spend the whole day there. Agios Spyridon, a slowly shelving sandy beach ideal for children, is only a short drive along the North coast. Look out for the 'Ice Dream' parlour just before the turn, a must for the return journey! Most beaches have paddleboards or kayaks available for hire. Aqualand, a water theme park in the centre of the island, is a great day out for children and adults alike.

Although all amenities are close by, car hire is strongly recommended to get the most from your holiday. Most international firms are represented at Corfu Airport with local firms close by. The drive to the villa along the coast road takes about one hour. Alternatively, a private transfer to the villa costs approximately €80, and a local firm will be pleased to deliver your hire car.

During the months of July and August, our preferred changeover day is Saturday, with lettings for multiples of seven days. In May and June, September and October, there is greater flexibility on changeover days and the length of the holiday period. We may also be able to offer discounts to smaller parties who prefer the space and amenities of a larger villa.

Corfu is well served by flights from a wide range of UK airports. There are many friendly boutique hotels in Corfu that provide an ideal way to extend your holiday by a day or two in order to appreciate the beautiful UNESCO world heritage old town, or to match the sometimes rather demanding flight schedules. Try Hotel Bella Venezia, Siorra Vittoria or Cavalieri Hotel.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

COVID 19 cancellation terms
If the Foreign & Commonwealth Office advises British nationals against all but essential travel to Corfu, or if the British or Greek authorities impose quarantine requirements affecting Corfu, you may cancel your booking and all sums paid will be refunded in full.

Wonderful second stay

By Susan on 08-Sep-2023

We so enjoyed our second visit to Villa Aurora! Wonderful lazy days by the gorgeous pool and evenings spent at the many fabulous restaurants close by. We particularly loved walking down to Cava Barbero restaurant on Avlaki beach. Wholeheartedly recommend a holiday here in this beautiful part of Corfu!

Susan, Very pleased you enjoyed your second stay in Aurora, hopefully there will be more...

Quality villa, nice and private

By White family on 12-Aug-2023

This is a lovely property in a beautiful bit of Corfu. It's nicely furnished and the kitchen is well kitted-out. The aircon is good. The pool is a good size enabling proper swimming. The views are fabulous and it is wonderfully secluded. There are plenty of different spaces to sit and relax. Unlike many holiday places, there's good lighting - you can actually see to read! There is excellent communication from the English owner. The villa is managed by a local couple who we found efficient and helpful (we had a problem with no water on the first morning which they resolved as quickly as it could be done). A meal or two at Cavo Barbaro on Avlaki beach is a must (you can walk there easily enough but I wouldn't want to walk back in the dark). We all enjoyed hiring a boat for the day from Agios Stephanos - we stopped for lunch at one of the tavernas in Agni. We did the walks from the villa to Agios Stephanos (steep but close) and Kassiopi (a bit further but an easier walk). We did a longer walk up in the hills as well - there's some information in the villa. A lovely week in a quality private villa.

Maria, Thank you very much for your review. Sounds like you had a fun time and certainly hit the highlights in your week's stay. Sorry you had a problem with the water but pleased that Natushka and Yianni were able to resolve the issue promptly. They are invaluable and the local trades people are very responsive. We get faster service than we do at home!

Wonderful wonderful villa

By Venetia Brooke on 05-Aug-2023

The perfect villa for our two families. Everyone had a great room (no duds) and the living areas were wonderful too. The sheltered terrace was wonderful for breakfast and evening meals. The pool was such a treat and the views made it outstanding. The villa has everything you could possibly need from bags to take shopping to picnic kit for boat days. Really everything was just fabulous. Couldn’t better it.

Owner response on 27-Aug-2023

Venetia, very pleased the villa worked well for you all. It's ideal for two families sharing - plenty of space for both families and halves the cost!! Hope you will be back again soon.
