Beautiful well equipped Villa with breathtaking views of the bay. Lovely pool and a nice shaded area to sit under. Only downside were the steps down to the villa and the very steep hill to the village
No problem going down but you need to be fit to get back up it. Unfortunately there was no taxi service in the village.

The travel time was early October, perfect weather and still enough activity on the island before the season ends. The villa was the optimal starting point for us to explore Corfu. The location and the view of the sea and the evening sunset are excellent. The setup of the premises is well thought out, good equipment and worth mentioning is of course the infinity pool overlooking the sea. Easy check-in process and fast and competent communication complete the very good impression.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sea Villa Descansa, the views were fantastic, especially the sunsets. The location is good; it is a little out of the resort and up a steep hill which might be challenging for some, but walkable if you are fit, though a car is recommended and the parking is fine, steepish steps down to villa. The villa is comfortable and well furnished and the outside sitting areas and furniture were good, the infinity pool was lovely (but lining could do with some maintenance over the closed season). The air conditioning worked well (had to be reset a couple of times by switching the power off for a while and back on). If you plan to cook much, there are enough utensils and cookware for basic needs, plenty of glasses, plates and cutlery (a small saucepan, a bowl, a water jug and and a tray would be good additions, but these are minor things). The washing, machine, drier and dishwasher all worked well. I would definitely return with family or friends.

The villa was gorgeous and had some beautiful views and all rooms where of a clean standard. We had a couple of incidents where the electric blew but communication was brilliant and someone come out quickly to resolve it. The only issue we had is that it’s not entirely clear that the villa is a steep inclined walk from all restaurants and bars etc and taxis are not available . For fit and young people it’s fine, a member of our party had a bad knee and was a big issue for him. Overall loved the villa and the communication with prestige was fab.

The villa is situated in a fantastic position with expansive views out to sea and as it is on the west coast you can view the incredible sunset every evening. A short walk into the village of Agios Gordios offers a vast choice of tavernas and local shops that offer gifts and basic food items. We did drive to the larger supermarkets to stock up but it was only a 20 minute drive. A car is definitely needed if you want to access the larger stores and explore more of Corfu. The villa was exceptionally well appointed and had everything you needed for an enjoyable stay. It was particularly hot whilst we were there and some extra parasols would have provided some much needed shade. The service during the week was exceptional. We have stayed in many villas over the years and this was the first time we not only had change of towels but clean sheets throughout and all the bathrooms were cleaned. Would definitely stay here again.

'Villa Descansa'
We were a family party of 8 adults and the villa itself was more than big enough to accommodate us all and give privacy and space when needed. Cleanliness, air con and facilities were great. The pool area was just about big enough and the south west facing views were beautiful. The pool itself had two shallow areas but then a steep drop to main pool which was all one depth. The walk to the lovely beach, restaurants and shops was easy but hot, the younger members of the family coped but oldies preferred a lift!

'Beautiful Villa Overlooking Agios Gordios'
This is a stunning villa with amazing views. We were looking for somewhere very special for our wedding anniversary and this ticked all the boxes. The villa is well equipped, clean and modern and we arrived to a generous welcome pack. The photographs on here do not do the views justice at all! We enjoyed BBQs and sunsets on the balcony and the surrounding area above the village is so green with olive trees and the tall cypress trees, your eyes can’t take it all in!
Agios Gordios is a lovely quiet village within walking distance of the villa and has plenty of shops and tavernas. The locals are so friendly and welcoming and the beach is lovely to go to for an early morning walk. The walk back up the hill to the villa is quite steep but good exercise!
We have stayed in Corfu several times and this is our favourite place now!

We stayed for a week and enjoyed it very much. The house is beautiful, and the view is amazing. The house is well appointed and has pretty much everything you might need and there is an efficient grocery delivery service. The village and beach are not far away, but the road is steep, so we occasionally ended up using the car, especially when carrying all the stuff you need for the day on the beacn. The Village is small, but has some nice restaurants and a few shops where you can have fun bargaining for clothes and leather goods etc.

Site exceptionnel ! Cette villa est construite sur l’une des plus belles baies de l’île de Corfou. La vue est magnifique. La maison moderne est très confortable et la terrasse et la piscine sont très bien conçue. Accès piétonnier à la plage (sable) à 12 minutes. Le village où on peut trouver de nombreux petits commerces est très proche mais nécessite la voiture car la route est en pente. Assistance efficace du propriétaire par messages. Une place de stationnement privative et d’autre sont possible devant l’entrée.

The modern house is very comfortable and the terrace and pool are very well designed. Pedestrian access to the beach (sand) 12 minutes away. The village where you can find many small shops is very close but requires the car because the road is sloping. Efficient assistance from the owner by messages. A private parking space and others are possible in front of the entrance.

'OK'
Pool maintenance was great guy but the pool was terrible. It’s basically broken. We arrived and it was even full. That’s not good value for
Money
The gardens were dirty and unswept. Was advised that is was daily but due to wind gets messy quick…. that was not true I cleaned anc swept once and it was fine the whole week. Just wasn’t done.
Floors in villa were grotty and showers were over flowing on arrival … clogged drains… we had to clean about 2 years of others people hair
Not enough sun beds for 8 people villa
Air con wasn’t working in all rooms at same time and no one ever come back to me
For this money the cleaning Is key
Our Response:
We are shocked and saddened to read your review of Villa Descansa. There had been a small problem the day of your arrival with the non-return valve of the pool not being quite closed due to debris, this resulted in a slightly lower level of water on your arrival. This is extremely common and the pool maintenance guy cleaned the valve and the levels were rectified. The pool certainly isn’t broken as you describe. Our Housekeeper Louise is consistently rated 5* on her standard of cleaning and she is utterly at a loss as to why you would rate her 2*. The design and affect of the floors in the villa are of a modern unique design, the marks which show in the concrete can appear dirty but they certainly aren’t. We’re sorry the shower drains were overflowing, had you mentioned this on our What’s App group chat we would have sent maintenance over immediately. Looking back at our notes we understood the Air conditioning was working fine after being re-set following the power cut. The property is set within land which during the heat of the Summer is dry and extremely dusty. Keeping the area free of dust and debris is difficult as many days we do encounter windy afternoons. Overall we realise perhaps this property didn’t suit your needs and as a company we are extremely sorry you felt it the value for money was just 2* out of 5*. Many thanks though for taking the time for the feedback and we do hope to see you again in the future.
Best wishes from all the team

'Beautiful Villa Overlooking Agios Gordios'
Beautiful villa located above Agios Gordios. What a wonderful spot with amazing views. The villa has everything you could want. Beds very comfortable and pool was great for a cooling off dip and the kids really loved it. Villa is within walking distance of town but it’s quite a climb back up in the heat so I would recommend a car to get out and about. The team from Prestige were superb. Any query was answered straight away. The only drawback I can think of is the steps down to the villa so for someone who is not too mobile it wouldn’t be a great choice. Apart from that I would highly recommend

We spent a wonderful short week in Villa Descansa. What a wonderful residence. When you walk into the house the view over the bay of Agios Gordios is truly overwhelming. The house gives you full view on the bay and the fabulous sunsets from each room and its so nice you can hear the waves from the sea. The inside interior is modern and minimalistic, and all comfort is there for you such as 2 wiggle chairs on the terrace, Sonos boxes, large smart TVs in each bed and living room, and en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom. We liked that the touristic center and the beach of Agios Gordios are on walking distance from the Villa. There are nice restaurants at the beach and we tried a number of them. Overall a fantastic villa and we will definitely come back.
