''
The villa was everything we expected. The location is stunning, private and peaceful; Pentati is a 15 minute walk, with four tavernas (our favourite being Sofia’s, aka “Chris Place” where we spent three evenings of our week). Nina the housekeeper was outstandingly helpful and friendly via mobile messaging and made a huge difference to how well our holiday went. The facilities in the villa are plentiful and clean, each room having an en suite as well as a spare bathroom. The kitchen is small but adequate (when we cooked, we mostly used the barbecue). The pool is regularly cleaned and is a joy to use. The table football and table tennis were also very welcome, as was the generous hamper on arrival. The only notable minor improvement would be to have dishwasher tablets and/or washing up goods (and ideally laundry tablets) provided as we had to go back out to get these. Apart from this, we wanted for nothing, and thanks again to Nina for her invaluable help and flexibility 🙂

'Exceptional Sunsets'
One of the few villas with an equipped and functional kitchen, also suitable for a catering professional like me on holiday. The more than generous outdoor spaces offer a table for 10 people in the shade of two large tents, and a wonderful immense veranda with 2 sofas and an armchair from which to contemplate exceptional sunsets! Fast internet connection for some work that I brought with me on holiday… I am satisfied with having chosen this villa for holidays with my family.

'Magnificent west facing views'
Just back from a great stay at this villa near Pentati on the west coast of Corfu. It's in a very quiet spot halfway up the hillside with magnificent west facing views. The villa itself has a great layout (kitchen could be bigger but for a holiday home it was no biggie) with a huge terrace and stunning infinity pool. The bedrooms are all a really good size and are all ensuite with modern bathroom fittings. The living area is minimal in decor but very tastefully done with a large modular sofa and wall mounted TV which proved useful a couple of times when the weather was a big iffy. There is a/c throughout the villa although we did have an issue with it in 2 of the rooms when it stopped working. Thankfully Prestige Villas sorted out an engineer same day who fixed one of them although the 2nd room couldn't be fixed. Towards the end of the holiday one of the showers had a blocked drain but it wasn't possible to get this repaired so we ended up using 3rd shower. There is a also a cat!

'Exceptional'
We spent a wonderful holiday in Villa Sinfonia, completely immersed in the silence and greenery of nature. The villa offers every comfort you need, the contrast between the light colors and the blue of the sea is exceptional, simple and functional furnishings, clean villa in excellent condition. Breathtaking sea view. An experience that we will repeat next year, unforgettable!

Unusually the villa in the reality is more beautiful than in the photos, this surprised me because usually it is exactly the opposite! To underline the silence, the peace and the breathtaking view that we have hardly found in other rental villas. Excellent internet connection without any problems!

For the first time after many years of frequenting Corfu, we chose the west coast, discovering an unexpected paradise, who would have thought! Clean and tidy villa, breathtaking sea view, many taverns and beaches nearby. Recommended in few minutes by car the immense beach of Chalikounas, sand dunes and beach bars, fantastic!!

'Breathtaking...'
Silence, sea and sun, this in summary is what we remember about this wonderful holiday, now that we are back in the chaos of our city.
Cleaning is done accurately, towels and large beach towels are provided for the pool or beach.
Access is easy, with a flat rural country road that leads to the large entrance gate.
The villa is furnished in a minimal and elegant way, large windows offer a 180 degree with a breathtaking sea view.
The atmosphere that is perceived in the villa is of total welcome, this is one of the most beautiful locations I have ever visited

'Villa Symphonia'
The Prestige Villas service was excellent from start to finish, fast, courteous and helpful. Thank you Annabelle!!
The villa itself is stunningly modern in a gorgeous setting. The view is just beautiful.
On the villa itself, our main gripe was that it just wasn’t cleaned properly, the floors were filthy and the owner’s response to our feedback was to wear slippers!!
Our Response:
Thank you so much for your lovely review - as for the dirty floors we haven't ever had any complaints with regards to the cleaning and have always found the villa to be immaculate. Having raised the subject with the Italian owner with regards to his repsonse, we think it may have been taken out of context due to his limited English - he suggested you use the provided slippers to avoid bringing in grit from the outside areas.
We're so happy you enjoyed your holiday and hope to welcome you both back soon!

'Aussergewöhnliches Feeling'
Diese Villa hat eine ausserdordentlich schöne Lage. Wenn man im Pool schwimmt, hat man das Gefühl direkt ins Meer hineinzuschwimmen. Man sieht, dass beim Bau der Villa auf Qualität und Design Wert gelegt wurde. Die Einrichtung ist hochwertig. Sehr bequeme Betten. Die Räume sind alle grosszügig und sehr schön eingerichtet. Der Aussenbereich bietet sehr viel Privatsphäre. Die Aussicht ist phänomenal.
Ich kann diese Villa von Herzen weiterempfehlen.

'Breathtaking Views...'
“This is a grand design, built thoughtfully to encompass the seamless view of open skies, sunsets and wide expanse of sea. The villa is all white with white furnishings, a hint of grey and wood adds to the visual delight. The infinity pool, glass panels, large outdoor white paved spaces, white beds, lighting, and TV are all to a very high standard. WiFi is just adequate for streaming. We connected a laptop to the TV for iPlayer, Netflix, etc. The location is remote, secluded, and accessed by some rough roads, so a car is a necessity. There aren’t many good quality local restaurants but we were happy to use the lovely kitchen and eat at the villa, enjoying the ambiance, views and sunsets. All kitchen appliances were new and easy to use. Pots, pans, cutlery and china were good quality and plentiful. A Nespresso machine & milk frother added to our comfort. The beds and pillows are Tempur which are quite firm. There are two wardrobes in each room with lots hangers but long dresses need to go elsewhere as will crease. The swimming pool is beautiful but very cold at this time of year! Nina, the brilliant housekeeper comes every day to change sheets and towels as necessary, and remove garbage. The washing machine, dryer, ironing board and iron are locked away inside an upstairs room at the owner’s request. This was inconvenient. On the way from the airport we recommend stopping at the airport Lidl supermarket and stocking up on all the food you will need. There is a good fridge freezer in the kitchen. The local supermarkets are pretty basic and sell very few items of fresh fruit and vegetables. Wasps and mosquitoes at this time of year are troublesome so bring deet, citronella candles and sprays. Nina left orange juice, milk, bread, biscuits, cola, loads water, walnuts to crack, sparkling and wine, and a few coffee pods. All lovely touches but not enough to make your breakfast if you arrive on a late flight. Bring Nespresso capsules and tea bags. We found Prestige Villas extremely helpful and very responsive to our few queries – thank you. We liked Corfu town a lot and there was plenty to see; shops were nice, but parking is difficult until the afternoon. We do hope our review helps your holiday in this amazing villa and splendid location. Many many thanks for a great stay. Wish we could have stayed longer and look forward to coming back if you'll have us! . Nina was great! And your team's help well appreciated. Thank you.”
