Perks for the Parents

A spacious coastal villa just a hop, skip and a jump from the beach, with a large outdoor pool and jacuzzi, set in generous lawned gardens. It sleeps 10 + 2. The perfect spot for parents seeking a laid-back pace to their vacation, this beachside belle comes with sweeping views of the coast and hills, and direct access onto sandy Roda beach from its garden gate. There’s a family-friendly taverna just next door and a wider range of restaurants, cafes and stores in the center of the village, a short stroll along the beach. For those who prefer to dine in, there’s an alfresco dining terrace with a BBQ and plenty of garden space for the younger ones to let off steam while parents relax. All bedrooms are ensuite, with the upstairs primary enjoying the additional luxury of a kingsize bed, its own television, and a balcony with stunning sea views. The hosts can help arrange a babysitter with advance notice.

Why Kids Love it

Kids have plenty of space to run and play with the beach literally at the end of their garden. Access to the sea is super easy via a garden gate leading straight onto the sand, and beautifully clear waters beyond perfect for swimming, and paddling. For older kids, there’s a watersports center just outside the village offering paddleboarding, kayaking, parasailing and tubing. Beyond the beach, there’s plenty else on offer with horse trekking, water parks and an aquarium and donkey rescue center at Palaiokastritsa. For downtime, and laid-back days, the villa has plenty on offer to entertain. The large, airy sitting room comes with a 3D TV and a new sound system that can stream music in or outside for party style fun. In the garden there’s an assortment of games, including table tennis, a play area with swings, and of course the outdoor pool. The hosts can provide a crib and a highchair on request.

Things to Know

Minimum stay: 7 nights; other durations on request. The residence is set right on the beach but please be aware that the beach is not private to the villa. Please note that the pool is ungated and so children should be supervised while outside. Additional beds are available on request at an extra cost to be paid at time of booking. There is WiFi throughout the villa, and private parking available on site. The host’s concierge team can organize a range of additional services from extra cleaning and airport transfers to private chefs and pre-arrival fridge stocks; please enquire at time of booking. The first set of cot & highchairs are provided free of charge, but additional sets will be charged at €100 a week. There is a €500 security deposit to be paid in cash to the owner upon arrival and refunded upon departure, subject to a full inspection. There is an end of stay cleaning charge €150 to be paid at time of booking. There is an additional tourist tax to be collected upon arrival (c. 3 – 4 euros per night). There is no bathtub at the property. Sorry, no pets.

About the Location

The villa is located just outside the village of Roda, set between the rolling hills of northern Corfu and the coast. The village is one of the livelier resorts on Corfu and is around a 15-minute walk away offering up restaurants, bars, cafes and supermarkets. Corfu is blessed with many sandy, shallow beaches, and the villa is located right on the shores of one (Roda beach) which has its own family friendly taverna, and watersports hire. Nearby Acharavi has a wider range of amenities a 10-minute drive away. Palaiokastritsa, 30 minutes by car, has an aquarium and a donkey sanctuary which younger kids might enjoy, as well as one of the most popular family beaches. For thrill-seekers, Aqualand Corfu water park with various flumes and tube rides is 40 minutes’ drive away. Corfu town with its old and new fortresses is 45 minutes’ drive away, as is the island’s airport.

Accommodation Details

The residence has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms set over 2 floors. The spacious ground floor living hub of the villa is open plan in style with a large corner sofa, a coffee table and a 55 inch 3D TV one one side, and a dining table seating 8 on the other, both offering direct access to the terrace/garden. There’s a fully stocked kitchen with everything a guest would expect including a dishwasher, and a washing machine. There is a small gym area with an elliptical cross trainer for adults. Two bedrooms are located on this floor with the spacious primary including a kingsize bed, TV and ensuite shower room, and a twin bedroom consisting of 2 single beds and an ensuite shower room. Upstairs on the first floor is a second ‘primary’ bedroom with a kingsize bed, ensuite shower room, TV and balcony access. There are 2 further twin bedrooms, with 2 single beds and an ensuite shower room in each. The villa’s gardens are unusually spacious with a huge lawn and several patio areas. Guests have private use of a swimming pool with jacuzzi, sun loungers and parasols, a covered dining area with an alfresco table seating 8, a BBQ, a children’s play area, table tennis and direct beach access.

Style Notes

Beachside belle. This spacious yet comfortable villa offers laid-back living by the sea with roomy interiors, luscious garden lawns and a sweeping covered veranda for relaxing. Interiors are light, airy and comfortable with modern floor to ceiling glass windows pulling in the coastal views from every angle. Outside, the villa’s garden path winds down to azure Roda bay with its pretty hilly backdrop. The shaded alfresco dining terrace and inviting pool are perfectly positioned for soaking up the glorious views and beach life beyond. We love the ‘on the beach’ location here with the villa’s private access giving guests the chance to enjoy it to themselves for early morning coffees or evening picnics.

Corfu, Greek Islands

Families, and other animals

The island of Corfu is where Gerald Durrell began his great love of animals - and the geckos, fish, insects and clear waters that he loved are still very much in evidence today. It’s not completely the same - tourist-focused strips in the north can get very busy and noisy - but beyond them you can still find quiet beaches, stone villages and plenty of sunshine for all the family. Don’t miss Corfu’s beautiful old town, or eating fresh fish in a waterfront taverna.
