2 splendid weeks in Corfu
This was our 2nd stay at Villa Melolia. Our Norwegian family of 4 chose Corfu for our summer vacation in 2011 for the first time. We rented 2 different villas on the island, fell in love in Villa Melolia, and came back 2 weeks this summer. The property is special. Hidden in a quiet hillside, with a magnificent view towards the sea and Corfu town, which is only 15 minutes car drive away.
The Laskaris has full control of everything. The house, swimming-pool, garden, cleaning and … everything is tip top.
There are plenty of good restaurants nearby, from gourmet food in restaurant Etrusco, to a number of Greek, Italian, English, Cinese … restaurants in Kassiopi (North), Nisaki, Ipsos, Corfu town and many other places. But cooking at home, in the kitchen at Villa Melolia with very good raw material from the local market is just as good.
I (the father of the house) am a runner, and a morning run up to the beautiful village Ano Korakiana is recommended. Our 9 year old daughter loves horses, and we can strongly recommend Trailriders Horse trekking with Sally Ann, her professional team only 5 minutes car drive from Villa Melolia.
The island is big enough to explore something new every day. Or, just stay at home, read a good book, relax and enjoy the view and the eagles flying above the estate.
Strongly recommended. We would love to come back.
