Villa vacation rentals in Palaiokastritsa

This was our second visit to this wonderful villa... and I don't really want say how great it is because then it will always be fully booked! A perfect place to relax if you want a quiet time soaking up the sun and idling away the day. It's very peaceful with a gorgeous panoramic view from all three bedrooms and the pool. There are endless little terraces, balconies and corners to laze with a drink, a book, a pack of cards. And if you're happy to tackle the 367 steps, you can get down to a pretty little pebbled cove that feels like your own private beach. There are restaurants, supermarkets, ATMs and other beaches within walking distance. One word of warning: because there are stone steps to get to the villa and to go from room to room inside it, this wouldn't be a good place for toddlers or anyone with serious mobility issues.

Very nice house and everything is just like the photos. The host was super friendly and gave us a welcome kit and also a goodbye kit

My partner & I stayed at Panagiotis' Paleo Villas for 6 nights at the end of our trip around Europe. It's the nicest Air BnB we've ever stayed in. As other reviews have mentioned, the views from the villa are stunning. The villa itself is beautifully decorated with lots of (naturally lit) space. The bed is very comfortable & the villa has everything you might need from cooking oil, pots + pans to toiletries in the shower & detergent for the laundry. There was water, a bottle of wine, bread, sandwich things & sweets waiting for us upon arrival. These thoughtful little touches were much appreciated after a long day of travelling. Panagiotis was a helpful host providing local tips re: places to eat & attractions to see during out stay. There are many beautiful beaches & restaurants within walking distance. The only suggestion we have is to hire a car because the walk up to the villa is quite steep. We absolutely loved our stay here & recommend booking if you're coming to Corfu Island!

A wonderful villa that is highly recommended. Dora and Eirini were perfect hosts. On arrival a thoughtful selection of supplies was provided. These were most appreciated. The villa is spacious and comfortable. All necessary amenities were available including a dishwasher and washing machine. Outside is a proper swimming pool that is very secluded. The terrace has amazing views with plenty of shade. Great for relaxing or dining al fresco. The villa is around 200m above sea level, reached by a narrow road. This was an experience to drive at first, but we soon became used to it. Overall: 10/10

Had a wonderful stay at Stefanie’s villa. The location was perfect and the view from the villa was amazing, especially the sunsets. The villa itself had everything we needed. Very comfortable. The walk into Arillas was around 15 minutes with plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. Stefanie gave us loads of recommendation which was great. A car is essential as, even though there are a few local supermarkets, they are not within walking distance. It also gave us a chance to visit other parts of the island.

Our stay at Thinalo in Corfu was absolute perfection! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the villa’s stunning sea views, private beach access, and luxurious yet cozy atmosphere. The spacious bedrooms, each with their own balcony and bathroom, felt like a dream, while the fully equipped kitchen and seamless indoor-outdoor living made every meal a delight. What truly set Thinalo apart was the incredible hospitality. Our host went above and beyond—adjusting our booking when travel delays shortened our trip and ensuring every detail was flawless. Katia, who welcomed us, was warm and professional, even arranging a last-minute boat rental that became the highlight of our trip. Waking up to the sound of waves, enjoying sunset dinners on the terrace, and swimming in the crystal-clear Ionian Sea just steps from our door—every moment felt magical. Thinalo isn’t just a rental; it’s a slice of paradise. We’re already counting down the days until we can return!

Simply amazing! That view….. Stunning! Villa was as listed and super clean. Our host was super friendly and communicated very well. We hated to leave but we will return and bring others. Do not hesitate to book this wonderful place.

Just got back from a 9 day stay. We had a lovely time and Achilles as host was fantastic. To put it in context, we were a family of 6 with grandparents/parents and grandkids so a villa was a good solution for us. The villa itself is very well appointed and the pictures don’t convey the size of the place, it’s very spacious and private. The facilities are excellent and there’s everything you need there. It was 35-38c when we were there and the air con was effective in the whole place. A little bit about Achilles. The communication prior to the stay was timely and clear. He arranged transfers for us from the airport and helped with everyone we needed for a a young family. We did have some initial issues but Achilles sorted them very very quickly and during the stay was on hand to sort any problem straight away. He was also very helpful with local contacts and ideas trips etc…. thank you Achilles, we appreciate all that you did.

A most beautiful villa w stunning Jews Joanne was such an amazing host she helped with everything from arranging a car to be dropped off for us and restaurants that we close who picked us up and brought us back Everything was wonderful Thanks Joanne

Beautifully comfortable Villa in a tranquil setting. Everything we needed was close by with a car (an hour at the most) Host was very helpful

We loved our stay here! The villa was beautiful, very clean and has everything you need. Agni bay is great - a few restaurant options and boat hire from the bay. We didn’t have a car and didn’t miss it - local supermarkets even do delivery. It’s a lovely pleasant 20 minute walk to Kalami bay. Beautiful sunrises over Albania too. Ingrid was very helpful and friendly, and the housekeeping staff were great. (Do bring your mosquito spray!)

It’s hard to articulate how much we loved Federico’s villa. We were 4 couples who went to school together in the 1970s in Australia having a catchup and this was perfect. Kalami is really charming and the villa location is visually spectacular with an abundance of space. It’s a 7 minute walk down the hill to a few taverns, restaurants, cafes & shops. If buying groceries the supermarket can drop you home with the shopping. We hired a boat for the day to visit other villages and had dinner at The Whitehouse where Gerald Durrell lived. The private jetty and tiny beach are fabulous. Federico was a responsive host and the caretaker Nic is friendly & charming. Loved, loved, loved this experience.

This is one of the most beautiful villas that we ever stayed in. The rooms are all spacious and lovely. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and it’s the first time that I’ve stayed in a rental property where the knives were actually sharp so made preparing food a lot easier!

Very nice house , super clean, very good beds and crisp clean sheets.very well equiped kitchen and a view we did not expect… it seemed like a new house and we were the first to enter. On top of that also an amazing host Christos who was very flexible and reactief super Swift on all our “turi questions”…. In short a no brainer and well worth the money spent…

We had an amazing 10 days at Avlaki Beach. The house is stunning - the photos really don't do it justice; heaps of room and very well equipped. It was immaculate and the lovely lady who came in half way through the stay worked really hard and did a fantastic job. The house is in a beautiful location, the pool is large and clean and the gardens are just beautiful. We enjoyed eating outside and lounging by the pool and on the balconies. The rooms and beds are comfortable and there was plenty of hot water from strong showers. There is a huge amount to do outwith the villa, so it would suit anyone who is looking for either a relaxing or busy holiday. Evi was really responsive and very helpful and we took advantage of many of the recommendations in the guest book. The taverna next door served great quality food in a beautiful setting and we also ate at The White House, at Eucalyptus in San Stephano and up n the mountains at a couple of lovely tavernas, as well as BBQs at the house

We had a lovely stay at Villa Magnolia. We stayed with young children and it was the perfect spot. It was very private, peaceful, and we absolutely loved the pool. We hired a car so that it was super simple to get into the old town, down to the beach, or to the supermarket. Christos was a wonderful host - picking us up from the airport with rental cars, being at the airport for drop off, and just making everything as simple as possible. Would definitely recommend!

A Dream Stay in Corfu – Beyond Expectations! We had the most incredible experience staying at Xenonerantzia! From the moment we booked, our hosts were exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Julia and Jorgos, went above and beyond to make our stay special. Not only were they always available for anything we needed, but they even cooked delicious meals for us! It felt like staying with family—but with the privacy and luxury of a 5* villa. All amenities were available for our baby as well from the baby chair to toilets seats .... Speaking of the villa — Simply wow. Xenonerantzia is absolutely stunning. The design, comfort, and attention to detail were increduble. Location is perfect to explore The view. It’s easily one of the best on the island panoramic, peaceful, and unforgettable the scenery is pure magic. If you're looking for a unique and truly memorable stay in Corfu, don’t hesitate—Xenonerantzia is the place. We’re already dreaming about coming back!

Artemis is everything we could dreamed of and more from a holiday villa. The villa and garden were perfection throughout. We adored the infinity pool and outdoor dining area. We loved it so much that we found it difficult to venture out to see more of Corfu. Next time we plan to stay for 2 weeks to see more of the island. George, our host, his family and staff were all absolutely amazing. The marina, fabulous restaurants and beaches are only a short drive away. Corfu town is practically on your doorstep too. As a party of 6 guests , we all agreed that Artemis was the best Villa we had ever stayed in. We can’t wait to return. A big thanks again for your hospitality . JMcS

A luxurious private villa at the end of the road up on the Hill. You have your privacy far away from the traffic jams. Mind-blowing ocean view and great sunset vibes at the pool.

We stayed for 1 week in Villa Sofimar. The accommodation is new and excellent. Quiet but with everything you need. Very spacious and clean rooms and Kontogialos beach is literary around the corner! Nice for a morning swim or sunset stroll. The host is very proactive with a lot of local suggestions and we even had in between cleaning provided. I would highly recommend!

Lovely villa great peaceful location

Villa Melanthi is magical, it’s even better than in the pictures. The view is breathtaking. Villa itself is beautiful, spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a perfect stay. The pool is amazing and was in constant use, table tennis was fun too. Outside space is wonderful. The hosts Haitho and Spiros are wonderful and could not be any more helpful, we can’t praise them enough. They really helped make the stay a truly special one including a lovely welcome basket upon arrival. We are a family of 8 (6 adults and two children 13 & 11) the villa was a perfect size for us. We will definitely be back. Thank you for such a wonderful holiday ☀️😍

Johnny's place is great and he is a super good host. Place is lovely, great privacy, everything is as described. You will be on an luxurious island in within the island of Corfu. There is a supermarket close to the Villa, this is very convenient. The villa is in a great location, the view is beautiful, beaches are close by, and the airport and the main city are also just a 10 minutes drive away. I simply recommend it, you will enjoy it.

We had a wonderful stay at Vicky's hilltop villa. The house was pristine, beautifully appointed, and well-laid out for our two families of four. Vicky was responsive and friendly and gave us welcome gifts as an added touch. The views from the rooftop patio of the sunset were outstanding. Everything about our stay was superb and memorable. We will certainly go back again.
