Villa Rossi is situated just 5 mins drive from the beaches, and a short walk from the village bars and taverna's. This villa is one of our most popular villas with numerous repeat guests, the reviews speak for themselves in guaranteeing our guests a perfect holiday.
The Villa is a beautifully restored country house located in a peaceful rural area on the edge of the award winning picturesque village of Gastouri.
Once the home of the owners Great Grandmother ‘Rossi’ from Scotland who married a local Corfiot, it has now been lovingly restored and furnished to a very high standard after standing derelict for many years.
Through the private electric gates and along the sweeping drive you can only be impressed as you arrive. The tropical gardens are simply stunning with lawns across to the extremely large pool and sunbathing areas with high quality sun loungers with comfortable cushions, parasols and garden furniture. It comfortably sleeps six guests but with the facility of a further two. There are beautiful views of Corfu Town and the sea beyond from the enormous covered veranda and it's a wonderful dining area and cool, relaxing lounge area during the very hot months.

We had a really good stay at the villa. There is plenty of space outside and upstairs on the covered balcony. Good size pool. Villa is very conveniently located for getting anywhere else on the island. Property management was very helpful, gardeners friendly and efficient.

Vi hade en härlig vecka i Villa Rossi. Villan var stor och rymlig och i bra skick. Trädgården var välhållen och poolen servades flera gånger under veckan. Köket var välutrustat men ytterligare några bra knivar och skärbrädor hade varit användbart. Läget i pittoreska Gastouri var lugnt men centralt och grannarna vänliga och välkomnande. Flygplatsen med starter och landningar hördes tidiga morgnar och sena kvällar men vi var förberedda på det. Det var gott om små katter, skällande hundar och några höns. Vi hittade några mindre trafikerade löprundor, bland annat på vägen mot Perama. Den blå lokalbussen nr 10 stannar närmast vid Gastouri Philharmonic Orchestra mittemot Taverna To Pouli Tsi Kotas, vilket också var bästa stället att beställa taxibilar till. Vi klarade oss utan bil och beställde matleverans från eJoy-markets i Dassia.

We had a lovely week at Villa Rossi. The villa was large and spacious and in good condition. The garden was well kept and the pool was serviced several times during the week. The kitchen was well equipped but some good knives and cutting boards had been useful. The location in quaint Gastouri was quiet but central and the neighbors friendly and welcoming. The airport with starts and landings was heard early mornings and late evenings, but we were prepared for it. There were plenty of small cats, barking dogs and some chickens. We found some less busy runs, including on the way to Perama. The blue local bus no. 10 stops closest to the Gastouri Philharmonic Orchestra opposite the Taverna To Pouli Tsi Kotas, which was also the best place to order taxis. We managed without a car and ordered food delivery from eJoy-markets in Dassia.

'Fabulous pool & amazing grounds which took our breath away!'
Villa Rossi is a beautiful house and very big ( a bit too big for the two of us, but we couldn’t resist that pool! There was excellent air con in the bedrooms - very welcome as the temperature was in the mid 30’s. Our only disappointment really was with the kitchen which is very small for the size of the house. It is only minutes to drive to most places we needed to go to, and this is a great area to stay in. Everyone we met was extremely friendly, and we loved the waving and greetings from our elderly neighbours down the road! There are hornets by the pool, but they had no interest in us, and we quickly learned to ignore them. We had a great time,
Our Reply:
Hi Jane & James! Thank you for your lovely review. Yes we realise that the kitchen is not the largest, unfortunately in the old traditional Greek houses, and this one is over a hundred years old, they didn't build huge kitchens like we all expect today. Really pleased that you enjoyed your stay though and I'll mention to the gardener about those Hornets and if there's a nest we'll get it removed. Best wishes to you both and hope to see you again in Corfu in the future.

'A nice place...'
Leider kein funktionierenderWLAN Schlüssel. Leider keine Schlüssel für die kl.Tore.
Nette Nachbarn hat uns geholfen mit der sehr steilen Auffahrt.ein schönes Örtchen. Einen guten Bàcker...eine sehr saubere Anlage vielen Dank dafür

Unfortunately, no working wireless key. Unfortunately no keys for the gate. Nice neighbors helped us with the very steep driveway. A nice place. A good bakery ... a very clean facility thanks for that.

Thank you for your review. This weeks guests called our office immediately they arrived from the house phone to ask us to
1) Assist with the wifi as it wasn't working
2) To unlock the gate.
We immediately suggested that perhaps the wifi password had reset to factory settings which is does occasionally following a power cut or storm, on using the password under the router it worked perfectly and we sent the gardener up to open the gate.
It is disappointing that you didn't contact us during your stay as these issues could have been immediately resolved.
Glad you found the house to be clean and hope despite the very mixed weather you encountered you did all enjoy your stay at Villa Rossi.

'Spacious and Comfortable'
Villa Rossi is very spacious and comfortable. We particularly liked the upstairs veranda for sunset dining. The garden is impressive, and the pool so attractive that the children used it almost every day, despite the changeable April weather.
