Villa Irini Nissaki Corfu Beach Villa

This absolutely exceptional and beautifully decorated home was the highlight of our round the world trip. Our family met up from various locations and all adored being here. Napoleon went above and beyond from check in to check out, even helping us get around the island and to the airport. He made us feel like we were part of his family in his family home, and we truly felt like part of Nissaki village while we were there. It’s a 1 minute walk to a tiny but gorgeous clean beach where fish swim around you in the Ionian Sea. The house was HUGE! With 3 equally lovely bathrooms, comfy beds, beautiful bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, an INCREDIBLE view from every window, fantastic dining areas both inside and outside, and 2 comfortable couches to relax in in the lounge room. The property is surrounded by ancient olive groves, and flowers, and birds! There’s a magical path through the olive groves if you go left as you leave the lion statue guarded driveway and then behind and up the hill for 5 minutes to the road with mini supermarkets (definitely go to the supermarket that’s to the left when you hit the road - family run, and the lovely lady even organised her daughter to drive us home). It was perfect!!! In every way! Thank you Napoleon!

Nothing

A great location and a lovely character villa. We loved the fact that it was an old family home. Napoleon was such a kind and welcoming host.

Amazing location for a hassle-free family holiday. Everything you need is within walking distance, a range of tavernas, boat hire, beach. It's a perfect place to spend a week. Napoleon - the owner - is wonderful and looks after his guests very well indeed.

Everything works. We loved the view, the pool table, table tennis and of course the pool. The kitchen and bathrooms could do with an update, but that's a minor niggle. We would happily go back here.

Amazing location. Nice pool with comfy pool-side beds & blow-ups. We loved having ping pong and pool to play as we had older children with us. Lovely view. Aircon in the bedrooms v useful. V near a small beach. Owner very attentive and helpful. Also very generous and warm.

It’s a bit dated inside but still a wonderful villa right next to beautiful olive groves.

Property was perfect for our family trip, comfortable spacious rooms. The pool was great and we loved the terrace. Napoleon was a great host

Proximity to the beach and tavernas; lovely views; option of heated swimming pool; pool table on veranda; above all Napoleon’s friendly ongoing advice during the holiday.

Some might not like the lack of en-suites and lived in feel (very much outweighed by everything else for us).

Perfect location and very well equipped. Pool area is fabulous. Walkable to beach bars and restaurants. Oliva restaurant is well worth a visit. Highly recommend for a family holiday. Thanks Napoleon!

The villa and garden are lovely and very spacious, has a great pool, good AC, and very close to the beach. We loved the turtle in the garden, the Billiard table, the porch and the pool side. Napoleon, the host was very helpful and nice!

We loved everything. Just note that this is an older house - for us it just added to the charm of the place

Our stay at Villa Irini exceeded expectations and was the highlight of our four weeks in Greece. The house is gorgeous, spacious, very clean, and also with a significant feeling of family history and Greek aesthetic. Napoleon, our host, informed us that this was his grandparent's home - and you can see the history of family living and care in the mature landscaping, the alcove of icons, china collections on display, and the many designs for both comfort and utility, We've heard of and experienced Greek hospitality, but Napoleon really stood out in his generosity, charisma, and communication. Napoleon greeted us with gifts, a generous amount of fresh food, drinks, slippers for adults, face masks, toys for the kids, pool floats, and even four new sun hats. He also introduced the kids to the resident turtle, χελώνα (chelóna) who the kids found and feed fruits to throughout the week. Midweek Napoleon even brought us the most divine chocolate mousse cake and ice cream that we ate by candlelight on the back patio under a nearly full moon. The views from the kitchen, patio, and main bedroom sweep from Nissaki Beach, the Ionion, to Corfu Town in the distance. Trumpet vine decorates the patio and the property is full of older olive trees, cypress, and large agave and other succulents. The beds were comfortable, the washing machine very handy, and four bathrooms were more than enough for our full house. Mid-week cleaners came to refresh all linens. The kitchen is very well-equipped, and though we were surrounded by tavernas and intended to eat out more, we found cooking meals in the kitchen and eating on the patio such a pleasure that we mostly did that. The grocer in a short walk up the hill.

Many more things we liked: The house is off the main road and insulated from the noise. So close to Nissaki Beach, we could experience happy summer revelers coming to and from the beach which made for a fun atmosphere. At night it's very quiet, and I heard the call of the Scops Owl for the first time. There is a swallow's nest on the back patio to minimize mosquitos!  The pool was a delight. Sunbeds, umbrellas, a sitting area, well-maintained pool, and lots of floats for hours of games and relaxing. Nissaki Beach is steps away with its white pebbles and deep blue waters. The Tavernas were great for snacks and drinks, there are three Tavernas very near the villa and several more up the road between the villa and the grocer. We didn't want to leave and hope to be back one day!

Napoleon was a great host. He went above and beyond, we even got chocolate cakes for Easter! When he made some steps for my 80 yr old mother to get into the people carrier I was blown away. Irini Villa had magnificent views. The cleaners were also lovely, quiet and discreet. Fantastic holiday, Thank you.
