About this property

Cosy House and Studio with Garden and Views to the Sea

Charming traditional house which sits on a hill above the pretty villag of Karousades. There are magnificent sea and mountain views from the balcony, a great place to enjoy your morning coffee! The ground floor features a build-in kitchen and dining area plus a bathroom/shower. Wooden stairs lead to the spacious bed/living room on the first level which features a double bed and a settee and leads to the balcony.

The property includes a separate studio opposite which was recently refurbished and combined is ideal for 2 couples to share or a family to spread out. The studio has its own sleeping are, shower and kitchenette.
At the back of the studio is a large shady veranda and garden where one can ralax away from the midday heat or enjoy open air living in the evening. From the house it is just a 5 min walk to the village centre with bakery, pharmacy, tavernas and a supermarket. Karousades is a very traditional village and the residents are very friendly and helpful. We have often come home to find fresh vegtables or fruit on the door-step.
The property is under two miles from the peaceful sandy beach at Astrakiri where there are a 3 excellent restaurants with beautiful sea views.

Karousades is perfectly located to explore the North of the island. Whilst there is a bus service to Corfu town and local towns you will get the most from your stay if you hire a car or scooter. There are local agencies for hiring vehicles in Rhoda and Acharavi or from the airport. Its best to book in advance in the high season as otherwise you coud miss out!

Corfu is also called the green island becaue of its extensive green olive groves which help to make the place feel cool and produces the tasty local olive oil. There are estimated to be well over three million olive trees being cultivated, covering roughly a third of the Island.

The north of Corfu is renowned for its beautiful sandy beaches. Hire a car or a scooter and take a tour of the North and its many magnificent beaches or go West to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the sea.

Unterkunft vorzeitig verlassen

Unsere Erwartung, Vorstellungen wurden leider nicht erfüllt. Wir wollten 14 Tage verweilen, sind aber leider vorzeitig umgezogen in eine andere Unterkunft. Der Ausblick vom Balkon ist herrlich. Die Unterkunft für einfache Ansprüche und für 2 Personen ist ok. Wir hatten leider extreme Rückenschmerzen nach einigen Nächten auf dem Bett. Leider war auch die angrenzende Terrasse nicht zu nutzen, insgesamt ungepflegt und die Kissen und Auflagen schimmelig. Wir hätten uns auch gewünscht, dass mit unserer Beschwerde anders umgegangen wäre. Wir können den Aufenthalt in diesem Ferienobjekt nicht weiterempfehlen. Es gibt wesentlich bessere Möglichkeiten für das Budget.

Schöne Unterkunft in nettem Dorf abseits des Tourismus

Wir haben hier 3 wundervolle Wochen verbracht. Das Häuschen ist gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet und es ist alles da, was man braucht. Der Balkon bietet einen sensationellen Blick über Meer, Küste und Berge. Karousades (speziell der obere Teil, in dem sich das Dorfhaus befindet) ist ein nettes kleinen Dorf mit sehr offenen und sympathischen Menschen. Die Lage des Dorfes war für unsere Bedürfnisse ideal und bietet eine Mischung aus möglichen Aktivitäten und Seele baumeln lassen. Es gibt schöne Strände in der Nähe, viele nette Tavernen und tolle Wanderwege (nicht immer ausreichend markiert, es empfiehlt sich evtl., die aktualisierte Auflage des Rother Wanderführer mitzubringen). Wir fanden es sehr praktisch, einen Motorroller gemietet zu haben. (Kleiner Tipp: die 80 ccm sind fast zu schwach, um zu zweit den Berg hoch zu kommen.) Wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben und können die Ferienunterkunft wärmstens empfehlen. Vielen Dank, Stefanie Busse!

Schönes kleines Haus in ruhiger Dorflage

Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohlgefühlt. Es war alles Nötige vorhanden und gemütlich eingerichtet. Der kleine Balkon mit dem herrlichen Blick über die Bucht hat uns besonders gut gefallen. 100%ige Weiterempfehlung für Menschen, die Ruhe und Originalität suchen. Sehr freundliche, aufgeschlossene Nachbarschaft.

Entspannung pur

Unser Urlaub in dem schönem Häuschen war für mich eine wunderbare Entspannungszeit. Die Sonnenaufgänge und Abende auf dem Balkon waren herrlich, genau, wie die Ortschaft und die Unterkunft. Wer sich nach Entspannung, einen nicht überfüllten Strand in der Nähe und einen Urlaub in einem gemütlichen Dorf und Haus, ohne Fernseher, dafür aber mit netten Nachbarn sehnt, der ist hier gut aufgehoben. Wir waren es auch. Mit bester Empfehlung weiter. Z.Zimmermann

About the host

Hosted by Simon Lloyd- Dickinson

I live and work in Switzerland and enjoy splitting my time between here and Corfu. i enjoy Switzerland for the mountains and Corfu for the beaches and more relaxed way of life! For me, Corfu has always been the place where I let go of the rat-race and escape to another world with a very slow pace of life.

Why they chose this property

In Karousades you get to live in the village and meet its people. You get a much greater intimacy with the culture and the simple life away from the tourist hotspots. It is right in the middle of the North coast so you can wake up and choose to go East towards Kassiopi or West towards Agios Georgios beach. Or just stay local and go down to the beach and hang out at one of the 3 great beach restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Last year we extended the balcony so you can sit outside in comfort for your morning coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine. The view from up there is panoramic from the sea to the mountains across acres of Olive groves. Enjoy!
