A fabulously relaxing stay. We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Calypso, from the moment we walked in and saw the stunning villa along with the great welcome pack. The daily cleaning service was an added bonus, as was the water cooler. Everything was perfect and it was such an easy walk into the lovely town centre to sample the many restaurants and bars. We would definitely return to the villa to enjoy more time in Kassiopi. Thank you!

Gorgeous villa within easy reach of Kassiopi. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Calypso. It is a beautiful, spacious villa with a lovely pool and outside area. A couple of minor issues with the villa were corrected within 24 hours which was appreciated. A short walk into Kassiopi which is an excellent base for all the attractions of this part of the island. Another bonus is the small cove that is only a few minutes walk from the villa. Highly recommended.

The Villa was absolutely lovely.. with housekeeping every day doing a fabulous job.. an absolute treat. We had a water dispenser that was restocked when needed which made our stay a lot easier . The position is good with only a short walk to the Village with is many shops, Taverna’s and lovely harbour. The friendly pool man came several times a week to test the pool and keep the area swept and tidy. I would like to suggest a visitors book to give info on things like problems with the air conditioning as 2 of them wouldn’t work This was easily solved in the end by turning the switch off and on in the fuse box but would have saved time if there had been a book to tell you this sometimes happens. Anyway, it did not spoil our holiday in any way and I would definitely recommend this beautiful Villa and Prestige Villas
Our Response:
Hi Jan, Many thanks for taking the time to write a review for Villa Calypso. Regarding the air con, we do provide information on the villa and maintenance via a QR code which includes details for the AC - The issue which you mentioned was a one off fault and not something which happens. Your comments have been passed onto the owner and we are happy it did not spoil you holiday! We hope to welcome you back soon

Prestige lived up to their name. Villa excellent, what a fab idea providing a water cooler which everyone appreciated.
There were a couple of issues were quickly rectified thank you.
My only slight criticism was the pool does need a bit of attention, bit tired and patched up in places.
Overall really pleased with our stay guys.

We stayed at Villa Calypso for 2 weeks this August. The extremely helpful and friendly House Manager responded to any queries immediately and made us feel very comfortable. The wonderful and hard working Housekeeper and her team came in every day to make beds and clean the house which was an added bonus.
The house was comfortable and perfect for our group of 4 children and 4 adults.
It is worth noting that the downstairs bedroom is only accessed from outside at pool level so not suitable for young children.
All in all excellent value for money and very convenient for Kasioppi. We hired a boat there and went out every day from the harbour which was an easy 10 minute walk.
We will definitely book again in the future.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Villa Calypso, Kassiopi. The villa was as pretty as it looks in the pictures, comfortable, cool and very clean. Having the cleaners in every day was very useful, as was the ability to have shopping delivered pre-arrival. The location of the villa was also perfect - quiet yet a very easy 10 minute walk down to Kassiopi harbour via quiet lanes. We didn't hire a car and didn't find it necessary for a week as there were loads of restaurants and several beaches within easy walking distance. We also found it useful to have a local rep available, who was able to help with any questions we had. Overall a great stay and we'd go back in a shot!

We had a great stay at Villa Calypso with our 3 teenage daughters in July. The villa was spacious, clean and in a great location to walk into town easily.
The only slight negative was that the kitchen was very ill equipped to cook meals if you wanted to of an evening. I’m sure if we had asked for more utensils, ie saucepans would have been provided and the villa still definitely worth 5 stars.

After waiting two years for this holiday it was well worth the wait! The Prestige team could not have been more accommodating and helpful with all the rearranging of dates and villas. Always done with a happy disposition in what must have been an extremely stressful time for the business. The Villa lovely, great location but the best feature was the water machine, which saved lugging water back from the shops, which in 35degree heat was an absolute blessing! Not sure if this is standard across all other accommodation, but a great idea. Will certainly use Prestige again and would thoroughly recommend, responded to any small issues we had very promptly. Think the large UK airports could use their operations skill set!

Having rented Villas in Kassiopi and surrounding area in the recent past Villa Calypso did not disappoint. Ideally located a short stroll to the centre of the village with all the amenities. Villa Calypso is furnished and tastefully decorated to a high standard. We had no issues whatsoever, in fact quite the opposite....comprehensive welcome food pack and even a water dispenser {nice touch] which was replenished throughout our stay.
Daily housekeeping was provided, a big thank you to Irini who carried out this chore!.

Lovely villa situated in a quiet location within easy walking distance to the harbour & village with plenty of good restaurants & shops.
The main villa with the kitchen & living accommodation including the 3 main bedrooms was excellent. The outside dining & seating areas are spacious & comfortable. A good size pool & sun loungers were good although pool heating would be a welcome bonus.
Our party didn’t need to use the 4th bedroom by the pool area. I would suggest caution if you are booking & require this as it is completely separate to the main villa not a welcoming as the other bedrooms.

'A Prestige Experience at Villa Calypso'
Fabulous villa, clean, well equipped, perfect for 7 adults to live comfortably, without being on top of each other and the location, in close proximity to Kassiopi harbour with its myriad of good restaurants and tavernas was definitely its greatest asset. Two pebbly beaches (beach shoes needed) were within a short walk through ancient olive groves, for the early morning dip. We couldn't wish for a more perfect location. Due to Covid restrictions we had to cancel and rebook on multiple occasions, which Jane and Annabelle handled in a friendly and professional manner. I would definitely recommend and book with Prestige Villas Corfu again. A top class experience from start to finish -just a shame they weren't able to influence the weather!

'Beautiful Villa, Great Location'
This is a beautiful and comfortable stone-built villa, has the wow factor when you first arrive and plenty of room. It is a short and easy walk into town making this an ideally located villa as it was quiet but close to supermarkets, two bakeries and the restaurants of Kassiopi. Turning right out of the villa we also discovered a lovely walk to Avlaki beach (and a fabulous restaurant there - Cavo Barbaro) which largely followed the coastline. The villa was spotlessly clean and the pool kept to a high standard by the lady who came each day to maintain it. We experienced an issue with the hot water which was responded to immediately by Barbara and Prestige staff until this was resolved. This villa delivered on everything we needed from our holiday and was a home from home.

It was our second year at Villa Calypso. We love it, the location is great and it is so lovely to be able to walk into Kassiopi in the evening - perfect for teenagers wanting to go out to the bars at night. The villa is incredibly comfortable and well equipped. The pool and pool area are great and it gets the sun well into the evening. It was a huge treat to have the villa cleaned everyday and the girls were lovely and friendly. Barbara, the owner was on hand and very kindly took in our food delivery and put it away ready for our arrival. Thank you Jane and Annabelle for everything.x

After 10 years of travelling back and forth to Kassiopi all we can say is we're sorry we hadn't booked with Prestige earlier. The booking was so easy and even with Covid the customer service was exemplary. Annabelle and Jane offered us many options depending on what was going to happen and what was best for us, this made the whole thing so easy, a huge contrast to the previous company.
On arrival the villa was spotless and beautifully maintained, credibly classy in it's furnishing and a maid came everyday at precisely 11am.
As a family we cannot thank the Prestige team enough for making everything so easy, we will always book with them in the future.

Where Did We Stay? I found a villa company called Prestige Villas Of Corfu and the perfect match - the property was called Calypso and comprised four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a pool, a mere eight minute walk from the hub of Kassiopi. It also had reliable WiFi - much as I have the greatest of respect for people who smugly claim to discard their phones for a week whilst on holiday to ‘get away from it all’, the reality is that ALL of my family would rather spend a week in a frozen cave in Outer Siberia with only dead fish for company than be without social media (or in Joe’s case, a motor trade balance sheet). Set over three floors and sleeping eight, the master bedroom suite overlooked the sea and the sun loungers were cream pad cushioned. I always take the quality of my sun loungers very seriously when considering holidays. I would class the price of the villa as mid to high - not cheap, but every room was simply yet beautifully decorated and everything was provided, from pool and bath towels, through to a water cooler, a pool man and a housekeeper who arrived promptly at 1.30 pm daily to clean and tidy. Heaven.

We all enjoyed our holiday at Villa Calypso. Appreciated the welcome pack, water dispenser and the late checkout. We had a few issues with the water supply but Barbara was quick to respond. Excellent location being a short walk to Kassiopi harbour with choice of restaurants and bars. Boat trips and excursions available from Kassiopi so a car isn't essential. The villa needs a house sign! We recognised it from the photos but didn't go in until we had confirmed it was the correct villa. More than 1 key would be useful, especially as no handle on front door so key needs to be left in the lock. My parents slept in the poolside bedroom which had an external door with no lock. Our party ranged in age from 5 to 77 years so thoroughly recommend this villa for a family holiday.

This is a stunning villa and we were so delighted with our stay. The team at Prestige Villas were super helpful and when we arrived Barbara, our host, was on hand and so accommodating. The villa was spotless and cleaned daily. They provided all the bottled water we needed and a welcome pack which was a nice touch. Can't reccomend this place enough, we couldn't stop taking pictures of our gorgeous setting. Tips for other travellers No need to hire a car. It would have been cheaper and easier to use a taxi transfer which Barbara arranged for one of our guests. The local restaurants are all good. Hire a private boat and visit local beaches, that's an amazing day out.

The villa was described as de luxe xxxxx but failed to meet that standard and certainly was not worth the cost. No tv Service was available on arrival and even though the owner put this right by the first Wednesday of our holiday it should not have happened. There were kennels near the property and we had to put up with dogs barking loudly throughout the day including early morning,together with the constant calling of cockerels! Olives had fallen from two trees overhanging the sides of the swimming pool and were uncomfortable and dangerous to walk on they should have been removed on a daily basis. The villa was very impressive to look at and very well furnished but the route in and out town on foot was very uneven and dangerous particularly at night.
Owner's Response:Hi Michael
I am so sorry you felt the villa didn't live up to your expecations. We have had so many great reviews on our own website this year with repeat clients who have already booked for 2019. Not sure what happened with the TV but clearly this was rectified almost immediately the problem was reported..
Unfortunately, dogs and wildlife are part of rural living in Greece as are Olives falling late in the season which the gardener and pool guy do try and keep swept on their regular visits, albeit not daily.
I am glad that you thought the villa was impressive and well furnished, this in our opinion is the reason why we would describe it as a deluxe property. The road into the village is a side lane off the High Street and although tarmaced is slightly uneaven in parts. As with most of the villas we recommend a torch for clients to use on late night returns. Best wishes Jane & the Team at Prestige Villas

Unfortunately, dogs and wildlife are part of rural living in Greece as are Olives falling late in the season which the gardener and pool guy do try and keep swept on their regular visits, albeit not daily.
I am glad that you thought the villa was impressive and well furnished, this in our opinion is the reason why we would describe it as a deluxe property. The road into the village is a side lane off the High Street and although tarmaced is slightly uneaven in parts. As with most of the villas we recommend a torch for clients to use on late night returns. Best wishes Jane & the Team at Prestige Villas

After speaking with Jane and discussing the kind of resort we were looking for, we opted for two weeks in Kassiopi with our teenage children and their friends. Villa Calypso was the perfect recommendation. Clean and tidy, plenty of space inside and out, bbq, well kitted out kitchen and lovely pool. It was great to be provided with a water dispenser, coffee and other 'welcome pack' items. The location was ideal, being just a short stroll into the village and the harbour with a huge choice of local tavernas all serving great food at reasonable prices. No sandy beach but lots of beautiful coves with pebbles or large boulders - and lots of spots for rock jumping! We didn't hire a car but used the taxi firm recommended by Prestige for our airport transfers. They were excellent. Overall a great holiday. Would thoroughly recommend.

We really enjoyed the property and found that it suited 6 or 8 people in comfort and space for all. Easy reach of Kassiopi on foot with many restaurants, without a bad meal in the week. Also good bars meeting our World Cup needs !! If we had any suggestions for the property they would be the outside spaces which would benefit from new parasols, cushions for the dining and casual furniture none of which seemed to match or fit. Cleaners came everyday so no issues there - more tea towels and oven gloves would be great together with the basics from the previous guests being left. Salt, Pepper, Oil, firefighters, matches etc. Having the water dispenser was a great addition. Thank you !! Great place for the family.

A perfect place to stay whilst celebrating our wedding in Kassiopi. The villa was so beautiful, Jane at Prestige was so wonderful in the lead up to the holiday and Barbara and her team were so friendly and helpful whilst we were there, any problems we had were fixed immediately and we had the most fantastic time. I would definitely recommend this villa - Prestige were brilliant, such a professional but personal company. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thanks again so much!

Lost power and hot water for a day but promptly rectified after a message.. Very grateful for late checkout. Appreciate very much Nespresso and water cooler. Cleaner replaced towels etc every few days. Only downside...those bloody dogs barking at dawn down the road. And they are lovely dogs as we passed them every day so hesitate to mention them as I do not want repercussions for them but perhaps the owners could take them out for a walk or two? As guard dogs they are very effective noisemakers. We didn't need aircon at all so can't comment on that. All in all with extended family and mixed weather the villa worked for us. Thanks so much.
