'Villa Alya' has only recently been completed and is one of three well appointed villas each with their own private pools on the exclusive development know as The Barbati Bay View. The villas are fully equipped to a very high standard and in a peaceful location where they enjoy spectacular views of the Sea and over to Corfu Town. Extremely spacious and built on three floors, there are 3 bedrooms all with their own fitted wardrobes and contemporary bath/shower rooms. For guests who enjoy catering for themselves, the villas have a very well equipped kitchen with Full Oven & Ceramic Hob, Dishwasher & Full Fridge Freezer.
The villas are in a perfect position for guests who want a 'Car Free Holiday' as the villas are located just off the high street where there are lots of Greek taverna's serving excellent home cooked food. In addition, the fantastic white beach of Barbati is less than a five minute walk where you will find some really upmarket Beach Side Restaurants and Chill-out Bars. Barbati has a real 'holiday resort' feel to it with a good choice of small supermarkets selling all your daily essentials and beach accessories. The villas are located up a steep driveway in a peaceful location where they enjoy spectacular views of the resort and over the bay to Corfu Town.
A lush landscape
This village in northeast Corfu wins hearts for its pretty mountain backdrop and white shingle beach, which stretches for almost 2 kilometres. The main street has all the essentials – tavernas and a supermarket, as well as the odd gift shop. And the views are something else – you can see across the bay to Corfu Town, as well as catching an eyeful of Albanian coastline.
Blue Flag winner
The beach is a 10-minute stroll through olive groves from the main village. Tucked away from the road, it’s considered the best on the east coast and one of the nicest in all Corfu. It’s charmingly undeveloped – you’ve got just shallow, clear waters, pine trees and, unusually, the remains of an ancient church. There are loungers and umbrellas for hire if you want them, or it’s easy to find yourself a secluded spot.
Near Corfu Town
There are regular buses to the island capital, Corfu Town, about 20 kilometres away. Getting lost in the labyrinthine Campiello, or old town, is all part of the fun here. And this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, complete with museums, churches and a 16th-century fortress. Sooner or later you’ll end up at the Liston, an Italian-style colonnade lined with fancy cafés.

'Fantastic Location...'
Fantastic location overlooking the sea. Plenty of local restaurants.
A few things that could improve the villa, a toaster, bbq utensils, more than one tea towel. The air conditioning units need looking at as they are noisy. The pool towels could do with replacing. Although we were told the island has very low crime we think the villa could do with a safe.

'Lovely Villa...'
Lovely villa with beautiful views from two balconies and pool area. Plenty of room for 6. Air conditioning. Short walk to beach and restaurants. Had to cross a road to get to beach but after that just a short walk through olive groves. I recommend the boat hire for a day exploring the coast.
Just needs a little more attention to detail in house maintenance (blown light bulb and broken shower fixings). I also think that sheets and towels should be changed at least weekly. We were there for 9 days and that was too long without a linen change.
Gardener and Pool guys did a great job looking after the outside space which was immaculate.
Hope to visit Corfu again!

'Fantastic...'
Fantastic location, close to beach, shops and restaurants in a really clean modern villa with amazing views. Whole process was really easy and it was comforting to know Jane was there if we had any questions or needed any help. Definitely recommend the villa and the location and hiring a boat on the beach from Spirros. Only downside is that the driveway is too steep for a car but given the proximity to beach, shops and restaurants a car isn’t really necessary. Other than that everything was great and we would definitely recommend the house and prestige to our friends
