amazing stay, would definitely stay again!

Everything at this accommodation was perfect! The location & BALCONY VIEW could not be better (I think maybe the best view in town to be honest!) & the Michalas family are so lovely & helpful, always available for any requests / advice. It's really beautiful waking up there - balcony is huge. George even stayed up late to greet us as we had a very late check in/ flight drama, and he even lent me a charger wire late at night - thanks again! The sea is right on your door step - like 2 minutes down some steps & we loved the free sunbeds/ private swimming platform - dreamy spot! The pool area & pool bar is lovely too & the accom is perfectly positioned in Paleokastrita for walking to many bars / tavernas / beaches. Everything you need really, all super close by. Beds were also very comfortable! Great value for money. We would definitely return - thank you George & family :))

Excellent place to stay, would recommend!

I absolutely loved my stay here. I was unexpectedly travelling solo, and felt very safe and comfortable. The room is a nice size with an incredible view of the sea from the balcony. The host family are ever so helpful and friendly. The location is amazing, so close to a less busy beach and only a ten minute walk to the main beach. There is shop just across the road, a lovely pool bar above the apartments for a nice evening cocktail, and plenty of restaurants to choose from.

The family at George Michalas are a beautiful family and nothing is a problem. I would highly recommend booking. I hope

The location was excellent next to bars and tavernas. Across the rd from a supermarket. We had the bigger of the two apartments which was very spacious. The view from the apartments was absolutely breathtaking. The balcony was large we could have sat there all day , so relaxing. Excellent facilities if you wanted to eat in. Down a few steps outside there is a private lounging area which you can use , very convenient and chilled.

Family friendly apartment with incredible view

The view is incredible! And the location is perfect, close to the main beaches, close to shops and close to taverns. There was also ample of parking around. It’s a family run place and George, his brother and mum were so friendly and welcoming towards us! They made it clear we could ask if we needed anything, and were always interested to hear about our days when we went to the bar. The top of the property has a beautiful pool bar, we couldn’t hear the music at all from our apartment. The apartment itself was well kitted out, had what we needed with kitchen items and bathroom items.

It was truly a memorable time, and we’re so happy we chose this place!

We had an unforgettable stay at this apartment! George and his family welcomed us very warmly and made us feel right at home. The apartment looked exactly like in the photos and had everything we needed. The view from the terrace was absolutely stunning. Just above the apartments, there’s a pool bar with an equally amazing view – we often went there for a beer or a glass of wine, and you can also grab a bite to eat. The apartment is located right in the heart of Paleokastritsa, just a few minutes walk from the beach, shops, and restaurants.

A perfect place for the family holiday, we would love to return!

It was amazing!!! Highly recommended! The sunrise and sunset from the balcony was priceless! The apartment was very cosy and we made friends with the local dog who slept on our doorstep and every day a lovely cat visited us through the balcony. It was so sad to leave this place and we are longing to return😍 A perfect place with stunning surroundings - the sea - a minute walk from the apartment, beautiful beaches around the corner, cafes, markets, a port, boat rentals, everything that is needed ❤️ Special thanks to the kindhearted owner who waited for us on our arrival till the midnight due to the traffic accident we had in Corfu town 🥰 The bottle of wine in our apartment was just in time in this occasion.

Views to die for

This was one of the best properties I have ever stayed out. The family that runs it is so sweet and the view from the apartment is to die for. The easy access to the private beach area was beautiful. Situated in a perfect location for all the best restaurants. Able to easily find parking and when I wasn’t George and his dad helped me find somewhere! 10/10 will definitely be back.

Wonderful place - exactly as the photos show

Unbeatable location with stunning views from both apartments' balconies and a lovely path down to the quiet pebbly beach. Apartments just as shown in the photos. Lovely family running it - left us alone but were so friendly if we needed anything. Fabulous cocktails in the bar by the pool, which is directly above the apartments.
