Villa Petalutha - A Stunning Villa with panoramic sea and mountain views.

Villa Petalutha was featured in the May 2015 edition of Woman and Home magazine as one of their favourite villas.
This beautiful villa is located on the outskirts of the traditional mountain village of Spartilas. Nestling beneath the imposing Mount Pantokrator, it offers privacy and seclusion, yet is only 5 minutes drive or 10 minutes scenic walk to the village. The popular resort of Barbati, with beautifully clear water and safe swimming, is 15 minutes drive away. The airport and cosmopolitan Corfu town, a world heritage site, are 40 minutes drive. The area is one of outstanding natural beauty; a peaceful haven for wildlife, including eagles, lizards and butterflies, from which the villa takes its name. Set in its own olive grove and blending superbly with its surroundings, this luxurious villa is built to a high specification. It's unique split level design was inspired by the natural terraces of the hillside and maximises the breathtaking 180 degree views of the beautiful east coast bays, Corfu town, the spectacular mountains of central Corfu and the glorious sunsets of the west coast.
Villa Petalutha has four bedrooms and four bathrooms all with stunning views. There are comfortable mattresses and good quality bed linen and towels. Swimming towels are also provided. The living area is open plan and flows beautifully to outside spaces. The Kitchen is well equipped for enthusiastic cooks. Outside, you will find a range of lovely terraces where you can relax or enjoy a meal. There is a large BBQ and outdoor sink. Steps lead down from the villa to the stunning infinity pool which is heated for shoulder season lets. The pool terraces are well furnished with sun loungers and easy chairs. This villa is a peaceful paradise set in the most spectacular location on the beautiful island of Corfu.

Absolutely stunning
The villa was beautiful and very much wow, and in a stunning location, we didn't want for anything the owner had made sure it was a real home from home. We are definitely booking again. We have been truly spoilt by this holiday.

Stunning villa, views and location
I hired Villa Petalutha to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. Villa was beautiful, well maintained and your every need catered for. The outside space and various terraces with seating gave you magnificent views over Corfu and surrounding countryside. The infinity pool was gorgeous. Would highly recommend.

Villa Petalutha
Excellent property with stunning views situated just outside of the village of Spartilas. Quiet location for a peaceful holiday. This villa is very well appointed and has everything you possibly need (and more). The owners have taken particular care to provide guests with a folder of detailed information regarding places of interest, local walks, beaches, and good tavernas worth visiting. A real treasure of useful info to make the most of your holiday. Thank you.

Quiet location with a gorgeous view
If you want a quiet place to get away from the crowds then This Villa is great for a family or group that want to lounge by the pool and enjoy the awesome views and sunsets from multiple vantage points. The patios lent themselves nicely to group meals at different times of day, all with easy access to the kitchen. The night lighting made it look more like a resort than a house! Only caveat is the distance up the mountain (approx 20 min from the coast at Ipsos or 45 min from Corfu town.) that must be driven to visit other parts of the island. Great place to chill out and make great meals and memories. For families with younger members, the pool is visible from all the outdoor areas.

Beautiful villa with fantastic views
Villa Petaloutha was very well equipped. We have been renting villas in Greece for 20 years and this was one of the best. The one downside was the road through Spatilas which was very narrow and difficult if you meet other traffic. Also the short steep drive was a challenge. Having said that the villa was wonderful and worth the effort. A special find was the Oceania restaurant in the village Shrinalas further up the mountain. Close and easy to get to with wonderful food.

Stunning in every way!
We had an absolutely lovely holiday. This is a beautiful, stunning villa - it had everything and actually more than we had expected. The details provided on Owners Direct are very accurate, but what a view! We just kept finding ourselves saying 'this is ridiculous' when referring to the view. We could not find fault in anything and we can be quite analytical about such things. A beautiful place. We hope to return again. We have never said that about anywhere before....

Extravagant Villa with breathtaking views
Villa petalutha was such a wonderful experience for myself and my family. We stayed 10 nights and would definitely return again. The roads are a little serpentine to and from the towns, but you get the hang of it after a few tries. It is very centrally located, most places are only about 20mins, but only due to roads you cannot drive too quickly not the distance. There are lots of information included in the guest booklets, so please do take a look. The property manager Apostiles/family is amazing they are very responsive with any needs that may occur, very kind and very friendly. Again, our family had an amazing time in Corfu….

Absolute Luxury
Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful villa. The views are absolutely breathtaking and a wonderful reward for the long windy drive up in to the hills! The villa is very clean, bright and spacious. The owners have decorated it very tastefully and it is superbly equipped with everything you may need. The inside is gorgeous but the outside space is where the villa comes alive. A beautiful infinity pool benefitting from the stunning views, a hammock, viewing platform, deck chairs, a lounge area and huge BBQ and picnic table. There were so many places to catch a few rays and get a view over the island, it was hard to decide where to go! We can't wait to return!!

Beautiful Villa
We booked this villa in 2019 long before anyone had heard of a Covid-19. Debbie was a pleasure to deal with in circumstances where no-one could predict whether we would be able to fly to Corfu. The villa has a stunning view over Dassia bay and beyond. We spent happy evenings eating and drinking against the backdrop of twinkling lights in the distance. In the day you could see from the east coast to the west coast . The pool setting is beautiful and the villa is wonderfully equipped. The outdoor grounds provide ample areas to relax in the sun or the shade. If you are seeking peace and quiet in a beautiful setting then this is the villa for you.

Fabulous villa
We arrived late at night to this wonderful villa and immediately fell in love with it. Walking out onto the extensive terrace the view of the bays across the island was breathtaking and the underwater lighting in the pool looked magical. We were impressed with the layout of the gardens and the internal space at the villa. Everything we needed was to hand and we were glad of the welcome pack of essentials to keep us going until we organised a shopping trip. The owners have created comprehensive folders of information for guests which we used daily. We enjoyed many of the recommended tavernas and places to visit. There are some lovely beaches within easy reach and we hired a boat for a day, which became the highlight of the holiday. We had a very memorable family holiday in this special place and will definitely be returning - next time for much longer.

Outstanding Villa
A very lovely villa, the pictures and description were accurate. The drive up to the villa from the coast takes about 20 minutes and can be quite challenging when passing through the small village of Spartilus, just below the villa, but go slow and it is fine. People generally cooperated in navigating the narrow streets. After we did it a couple of times, we had no issues but the first couple of journeys were nail biters! The caretaker was wonderful, very attentive and spoke pretty good English. The villa was outstanding, great views, pool, landscaping with everything you needed inside. We were there during a record heatwave, the air conditioning was great (bedrooms only) and the non air conditioned areas were kept cool by the natural airflow. The pool was cool on initial entry but after 30 seconds we warmed up and spent many happy hours in the large pool. The area was great, less than an hour from Corfu town and that includes the drive up to the villa. There is a good supermarket where the road to the villa meets the coast. We were there for 10 days and had many enjoyable days around the local area. A small tavern, Oasis, about 10 (relatively easy) minutes drive uphill from the villa became our goto place if we wanted dinner out. Nothing fancy, but really good food, and wonderful hospitality. We would not hesitate to visit the villa again, and highly recommend it so long as you are comfortable driving on very curvy mountain roads (which you get used to very quickly!).

Incredible week!
We enjoyed the Villa immensely! Every aspect was incredible-the VIEW, the pool, the house is amazing. The property is in excellent condition, very clean. Debbie has thought through many details to provide exactly what you need to have a fantastic stay. The kitchen was top notch, laundry facility is very helpful, and the assortment of games and DVDs was perfect. Apostolis was so kind and helpful. We loved being on the mountain and driving through the villages. It was a perfect memory maker for our family of five. Even the teens were in awe and bliss! The orange tree was especially enjoyed by our youngest, he loved making fresh juice. We can’t say enough excellent things about the location or the villa. It truly is a little piece of a private paradise. Thank you for sharing it Debbie!

What an amazing villa
We booked this holiday a year in advance and spent the 12 months getting excited about it. All I can say is that Villa Petalutha did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived to the time we left we could not fault it. The view was truley outstanding - the villa beautiful, comfy and practical. It suited everybody even our 9 month old and our 4 year old. If you need to get away from it you could always find a secluded spot to rest in, or there a plenty of places to explore. This is the first time I have been to Corfu and I am so glad we chose to come to this part. The people are friendly and welcoming and the food delicious. It was even good to get the adrenalin pumping for a minute or so each day tackling the drive. I hope very much to come back to Corfu in a few years, when I do I hope that this Villa is available, as to stay anywhere else would be a let down.

The perfect holiday destination
Villa Petalutha is excellent, beautifully presented, secluded but not isolated with fantastic panoramic views in any direction day or night. It’s position halfway up the hillside is perfect for a peaceful relaxing holiday. It has everything you could possibly need to enjoy your holiday. The beds are comfortable and the villa is spotlessly clean. The variety of outdoor terraces provide a choice of areas to sit and relax or enjoy a meal - all with the amazing view that I think might be hard to beat anywhere on the island. The owners have obviously taken a great deal of care to produce a very detailed information pack which is especially ideal for the first time visitor. It has lots of recommendations for places to visit and eat - far too many to pack into just one week ! The instructions for the walk from the villa down to Spartilas are very accurate and we had no trouble following them ending up at the wonderful smelling bakery. The people in the village are friendly and very welcoming. We were there for their Easter parade, which is well worth seeing and hearing. The Spartlias choir, including the baker, sounded amazing. Driving around the island is lovely. There is always something different to see; a sea view, an ancient olive grove, green valleys and interesting unspoilt little villages. We particularly enjoyed the deserted village of Old Perithia, but it was not so deserted, as there is a choice of tavernas where you can sit sipping a cold beer or freshly squeezed orange juice whilst admiring the view. The choice of tavernas within easy reach of Villa Petalutha is unending but I would highly recommend the owners' choices in the information pack of Taverna Vitamins in Nissaki, Nikolas Taverna in Agni, Tavernaki in Kassiopi and A La Palea in Stinilas. The food and service is excellent. If you’re interested in wildlife, Corfu and Villa Petalutha are ideal. We saw the golden eagles soaring above the villa at the top of Mount Pantokrator and the fireflies in the garden. The swallows put on a spectacular display of accuracy, swooping down to take a drink from the pool. We spotted woodchat shrikes, subalpine warblers and heard the cuckoo but sadly couldn’t see it. A week is certainly too short a time to spend on Corfu and we will definitely be booking Villa Petalutha again and recommending it to all our friends.

An Excellent Week !
We had a fantastic week at Villa Petalutha. Everything was just as described and possibly even better. The Villa has everything you need to be a real home from home and it is in fantastic condition also the grounds are beautiful. Lots of different hang out spots including a fab hammock under the shady trees. The views down to the sea are stunning. One point of note the drive up and down the hill is a bit tricky (to get the views you have to drive up) but after having done it a few times it gets easier and easier.

Fabulous villa with breathtaking views
Such a lot of care has so obviously gone into designing the layout of the villa and furnishing it. There are fabulous views every which way you turn and equal care has gone into planning the outside areas - which are vast!! The planting in the garden is stunning and provides shade, a beautiful backdrop and also welcomes wildlife. The variety of outdoor eating and seating options also means that you feel you are having a really luxurious experience. The view obviously means you have to be prepared for a bit of a drive to get up to the villa - but it is so worth it. You can’t fail to have a wonderful holiday here. The regular cleaning and visits from the lovely property manager means you also won’t have any headaches to deal with once there. There are lots of lovely beaches, tavernas and places of interest which can easily be accessed if you can bear to leave the villa. Our family and friends would very highly recommend this wonderful villa.

Wonderful villa
Villa Petalutha is a stunning villa offering amazing views over the Corfu coastline. It is spotlessly clean, extremely well-equipped and provided plenty of space for the two families in our group. We enjoyed making use of the various sunbathing spots around the pool and gardens throughout the day and the various terraces during the evenings. Apostolis was a font of knowledge and we hugely appreciated the very informative house book with its recommendations for shops, restaurants and beaches (the nearest being Barbati which, thanks to the shortcut you suggested, cut out some of the hairpin bends). Many thanks for sharing your wonderful property: we very much hope to return at some point.

A truly wonderful villa
The villa was even nicer than it looks, it is just fabulous. Our first thought as we were driving to the villa up the steep winding hill, it seemed rather a long way from the sea, but once you are there, all those thoughts disappear. The views are stunning and its very secluded and quiet, and as we soon found out, not far from the sea at all. The kitchen has got everything you could possible want in it. We used to have our breakfast on the terrace, drinks in the evening looking at the sunset on the far side of the terrace and suppers on the lovely wooden table by the barbecue. All the bedrooms have extremely comfortable beds, plenty of cupboard space. The pool is lovely and there are plenty of sun loungers and chairs to sit on. Everything was spotlessly clean. We couldn't recommend this property more, its lovely. My advice is to book early!
