We loved staying at the Old Bakery. The view was stunning.. we loved exploring the area by boat and visiting local tavernas. The road up to the villa is not for the faint hearted! We used a cook on who came recommended by prestige villas who was excellent.

We stayed as a small family group of 6 and had a wonderful time at the villa. The road going up was steeper and longer than even anticipated from other reviews, but the views worth the drive. During peak season it also felt so quiet after venturing down to nearby beaches and towns.
We loved the pool and all the extra touches such as the portable speaker and lovely gas bbq. Air conditioning was perfect throughout the house during a very hot week.
I wish I was back in the lovely master bedroom opening the doors to the balcony, wonderful views and the sounds of the beetles / insects !
Thank you very much for a great stay.

I have just returned from my second stay at the Bakery and had another fabulous time. What a wonderful villa; that my partner joked is better equipped than our house! A lot has been upgraded in the house since we were last there, and the road approaching the house has been recently re-laid. The sublime view over the whole island thankfully is still present. The old bakery is the perfect place to get away from it all with the awe inspiring surroundings of the coast and the olive groves.
Some consider October a bit late but the weather was fantastic (in the 20s all week and a couple of days 27/28c), the island was calm, but the restaurants still largely buzzing - some great new ones have opened up in the nearby bays and in Corfu Town. Cannot wait to return and will be sure to stay at the Bakery when I do.

An incredible villa, featuring a traditional exterior and beautiful modern interior, an amazing vista with lovely pool and including an absolutely stunning view of the bay. Everything we needed was there for cooking and enjoying Corfiot island life and more, the games cupboard was great and the aircon in all the rooms was a plus at nights in the heat of August. Aphrodite’s fantastic little food supermarket at the foot of the hill was so handy (try her homemade tsatsiki), also the bakery (baklava is awesome) and Vitamines tavernas. Car needed to visit further away but the coastline is unspoilt and idyllic so this villa was a great base for exploring it all. Thanks to the Prestige team, owners and all the friendly house & pool keepers for all their generosity + great service. We’ve had the best holiday!

Stunning location with views across the coastline and over to Albania. The villa is really well set up for a family holiday with an extensive outdoor living space off the kitchen and living room and then a great pool terrace one level down - all with great views - glorious sunshine throughout the day but with good shade. The road up to the villa is steep and winding so recommend an automatic car if you are not one for hill starts! Worth it for the location though. Aphrodite's Supermarket at the bottom of the road was great for supplies and could arrange fresh meet and fish with a days notice. Also recommend the bakery next door for baklava and breakfast items. Lots of great coves and beaches to explore within a short drive - whether you are looking for a beach club and water sports or a quiet cove with turquoise water and a seafood taverna. Highly recommend Taverva Thallasso at Kamanaki and also Taverna Vitamins on the main road at the bottom of the hill - great views.

'Great week at the Bakery'
The Bakery is in a really special spot, High up in the hills. The road is challenging (automatic advised) but the incredible views are worth it. We had a fantastic week as 2 families with young children. The outside space is great and pool being on a separate level helpful with little people.
Bakery and mini Market at the bottom of the road kept us fed and watered and highly recommend Taverna Vitamins just at the bottom of the hill and Thalasso in Kamanaki - a truly special spot if you are up for the steep drive down.
Shopping g service meant we were sorted for the first couple of days which was a great help.
Only bit of feedback was that the pillows are rather hard and big and the villa could have been a little cleaner on arrival and a mid-week clean would be a bonus.

'The Old Bakery'
The Old Bakery delivered a very high standard of comfort & relaxation. The master bedroom was glorious, waking up every morning to sunshine & stunning views was just wonderful.
The living room was very comfortable but we lived mainly outside & by the pool.
We also rented the guest cottage which was perfect for our son, his partner & baby.
Excellent baby facilities provided also, including car seat in the taxi transfers.
The air conditioning was a welcome respite from the fabulous hot weather. We had a magical storm one night, which we watched from the deckchairs on the balcony.
Some days it was just bliss to chill at the villa.
We had shopping delivered for our arrival & also our hire car. Taxi transfers were arranged for arrival & return. Everything ran as smoothly as it possibly could. I will miss the peacefulness, sea view & natural surroundings very much. Thank you for a great stay.

4th year in a row at The Bakery, it is our home away from home so we obviously only have nice things to say about it. We are now veterans of the road which leads to the Villa which some may find quite daunting on their first visit. It is however well worth the experience. Jane and Annabelle as always were first class. We have been with them as customers for over 8 years and they service never fails. Missing Katavolos and Corfu already and can't wait to come back.

'The Bakery'
This villa is everything the pictures make it out to look like. It was spacious and comfortable. My extended family of 8 slept comfortably in all the rooms with beds to spare. The pool was excellent and provided hours of swimming fun and as a backdrop for many instagram photoshoots! The kitchen was large and the private chef we hired had no complaints about the facilities.
The only cons about the villa are a minor one and a major one. Minor - The internet was slow and there is very spotty mobile phone signal. This was not that serious of a drawback as it allowed for all of us to disconnect from our devices. I would say though if travelling with children make sure you pack cards, board games or any activities.
Major - Renting a car is absolutely mandatory for this villa. The roads are very poorly constructed and extremely narrow leading up to the villa. I had hired a minibus to take my family of 8 on daily excursions and after the first day the minibus driver stated she couldn't come back as the road was too treacherous for her bus. The local taxis would not come pick us up to go to the town so unless we walked the 1 mile to town in the scorching August heat we were effectively stranded in the villa. On our departure day the minibus that came to collect us could not drive into the villa do to the narrow roads so we all had to walk up the steep road in the heat to the minibus. Thankfully, the pool staff were on hand to drive my parents who are in their 70s up the road and to ferry our luggage. If they weren't there I can't imagine how we would have managed.
All in all we had a great week, but if we had known beforehand about the difficulties to accessing the villa we would have made preparations.
Our Response:
Thanks for your review - As with the majority of villas in Corfu, we do state clearly on our website that a car is essential at this property. Had we known you were not intending to hire a car we would have emphasised that this villa was totally unsuitable. Apart from this we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay.

'Beautiful Villa..'
Beautiful villa high up in the hills over Nissaki. The villa is a second home not just a rental and this shows in the quality of the furnishings eg comfy sprung mattresses; great kitchen appliances; everything you could want. The terrace is a fantastic living space and the pool is high end. Prestige Villas provided a great service eg shopping delivery unpacked ready for arrival; personal chef recommendations; pool cleaned every other day. Our only comment is that the road up to the villa is a typical Corfu steep and winding mountain road - not for nervous drivers. Thank you !

The villa is super comfortable and perfect for families with children. There were plenty of children’s books, toys and board games which was fantastic. The pool is a really nice size and the kids had a great time playing in it.
The villa and outdoor areas feel really spacious and the emphasis is very much on relaxation thanks to a hamac, outdoor beanbags, nice loungers, and comfy seating inside.
The North East coast is stunning and it was a short drive to pretty bays like Agni or Kaminaki.

'A fabulous family holiday at the bakery...'
The villa is so lovely. The view is amazing and is well worth the short hair raising drive to get there (by the end of the week we were used to this drive - just about!). We had a week of two halves, thunderstorms for the first half and then amazing sunshine. The villa was a perfect location for both.
The villa has everything you could need and is particularly great for travelling with children.. the massive millennium falcon and a baby bouncer were extremely popular and useful.
The pool is just lovely and with heating absolutely swimmable even in early April.
Aphrodite’s shop at the bottom of the hill can provide all the basics and we took advantage of the internet shop pre arrival. G&Ts ready within 5 minutes of arriving... what could be better! Also a shout out to Vitamens the local taverna... great food, kid friendly and parking.

A great villa in a fantastic setting. The access road is steep, narrow and windy, but that adds to the charm of the setting and the views are spectacular.
The decent sized heated pool was a real bonus in late October and early November. The children (and the adults) loved it.
The owner has created a fabulous holiday villa which really feels like a home, as he allows access to his substantial music and games collections etc.
My daughter left a watch at the property and Prestige Villas were fantastic in finding it and returning it to us in the UK.

'Beautiful Villa with Fantastic Views'
The Bakery is a beautiful Villa with fantastic views. The road up to the Villa is challenging for those who aren't familiar with Corfuian Mountain roads. But when you get there the view is more than worth the journey. The Villa is family orientated with wifi and loads of TV options as well as an outside screen. The pool area is lovely but the loungers could do with some new cushions. We came with a party of 7 adults and the additional pool side bedroom is vital then. In reality the Villa sleeps 6 adults with room for two younger children in the bunk bed room. This increases to 8 adults when the pool side room is included. Kitchen is well kitted out and the Master Bedroom is light, cool and has a fantastic view as well as an ensuite bathroom. The other 3 bedrooms need to share a well appointed master bathroom. The poolside bedroom is fully self sufficient with bath and ensuite. All in all The Bakery is a lovely family home which we were lucky enough to be able to use for our 17 day trip to heaven. To Dan and his family thank you for giving us the privilege to use your home.

'Stunning Property in an Amazing Location'
Thoroughly enjoyable stay at The Bakery. We even got used to the drive up the steep winding road to the villa. Every amenity you could hope for and, even though we ran out of water on a few occasions, it didn't affect our enjoyment. The Villa is beautiful and the setting is stunning. To wake up to the most amazing view every morning is really a major plus for us. It was plenty big enough for 10 of us to stay at without feeling cramped at all (the extra room in the guest cottage was idyllic for 2 x 20 yr old girls!). Highly recommend.

'Just Amazing - The Best Villa & Holiday Ever'
Bakery is a gem of a villa. Nested within olive groves up a hill overlooking the central bay of Corfu, the view has to be seen to be fully appreciated! The villa is equipped to a remarkable standard with obvious great pride. And the pool is outstanding!

'Beautiful Villa with Stunning Views'
Fabulous villa, very comfortable, private and beautifully decorated, with a simply wonderful view. So well equipped -a home from home! Loved the outdoor cinema screen and portable speakers! Great pool with a view, beautifully maintained. Perfect holiday retreat. other comments; Do think some prior warning on the road approach would have been warranted- not for the faint hearted! Lovely crockery but plates are too big for the dishwasher! no-one wants to wash up on holiday! Some smart picnic melamine plates etc and quality plastic tumblers/glasses would be nice- John Lewis/OKA have nice ones! Double shower - floor floods horribly! wooden slatted mat might be better Overall 5 star experience! Thanks The Russells

'Gorgeous'
Nothing was too much trouble when it came to booking The Bakery. Jane organised everything for us, including car hire, airport transfers and a private chef. The villa is situated up a steep road but the views when you reach the top are well worth the climb. The Bakery has been beautifully refurbished and the owner has provided everything you could need for a home from home stay. A really special holiday in a gorgeous location.

'Beautiful Villa with Stunning Views'
Just wanted to drop you a line to say how much we enjoyed the Old Bakery. Our friends booked this holiday so was a little apprehensive, but on arrival we were blown away with the house in every way, the views are to die for. It was everything you need for a first class family holiday, extremely clean with every convenience you would require. The crowning glory of this lovely house in the stunning pool area which was cleaned every second day and kept immaculate by the lovely pool guy. Loved the guest cottage with the old brass bath in the corner. The only blip was a plumbing problem which was attended to immediately by your staff. All in all a perfect holiday in a perfect villa in a perfect location. Looking to return next year so we'll be in touch soon.
Many thanks for all your help in finding us the perfect holiday.

'Gorgeous Villa'
The Old Bakery is a gorgeous villa, well-equipped and superbly managed by Prestige. Any issues were dealt with promptly. The views are absolutely stunning (the long and winding road to reach the villa is definitely worth the effort). The only downside during our stay in July was an over abundance of wasps who came every day to drink from the pool, making entry and exit a hazardous and unpleasant proposition.

'An amazing week at the awesome Old Bakery'
What an amazing week we had in a beautiful house in a stunning location. Spent the last week of Summer with our children before they returned to Uni and we were all in paradise - from the stunning views, the gorgeous pool, the outdoor cinema, music systems and the luxurious interiors - we didn't want to leave! The house was so well appointed and we rarely left the comfort of our own surroundings - only once for a supermarket visit, twice to the sea and a couple of times to eat out in the evening - we really could have stayed for ever.
A very easy booking experience and helpful assistance when there if we needed it - we would thoroughly recommend a visit to The Old Bakery and will hopefully be back again soon!

Gorgeous villa, beautifully maintained. The view is lovely. Pool is unusually large and the owner had just installed a new heater which made it warm in May. Incredibly well equipped with every tech gadget imaginable whilst still being full of character. Owner and maintenance company brilliant at making sure everything is in place for you to have a brilliant holiday. Thoroughly recommend.
