The Red House in Dassia

I liked everything at this location, it is a very good placed green paradise with the nicest hosts I experienced until now. I will start with the location - the beach (Dassia beach) is very close 5 mins walk; if other beaches are targeted on the rest of the island, it's also quite facile to reach them from Red House Dassia (30-40 mins to the beaches on the vest/nord-vest coast of the island, around 1 hour to the south- beaches, by car). The place itself is so nice, the entire garden, 2 terraces and a pool just for yourself, everything is green and the moment you step from the street in the garden you can feel a temperature difference. The house beautiful arranged, with taste and attention to details, the kitchen well equipped with everything you need, bedrooms have air conditioner and the living room very pleasant place to stay if the heat outside is hard to bear. The host, Marilena, didn't know what to do to ensure us a most pleasant stay, she was a very helpful guide for beaches and taverns in Crofu, but also for other places to visit.

There is anything I disliked at this location.

Everything about The Red House was brilliant. The pool, garden and outdoor spaces were exceptional with loads of seating and dining space as well as a BBQ which was as good as any modern kitchen. The inside is charming, very well presented and spotless with all the mod cons you would expect including air con which was a good escape on some of the hotter days. It is very obvious the care and love that Marilena and her family have put into this property.

We didn’t have anything that we didn’t like about the property. We did use the sofa bed in the living room and traffic in early morning could wake up a light sleeper.

Location, outside space, host was excellent and very helpful to recommend restaurants and places to visit. Very generous welcome pack and property was very clean.

The bathrooms. Very dated the second shower room was in need of an update. Every time we showered we had to mop the floor as the shower curtains did not touch the base of the shower plus we had to hold the shower spray and cold water streamed out of the bottom part of the shower mechanism.

The house is a charming, cosy, well furnished and well appointed family home and Marilena, the kind and delightful owner, had left for us a generous welcoming basket of goodies. She was always ready to help throughout our stay, was an absolute delight, and even came back specially to say goodbye before we left for the airport. Wonderful hospitality! The large private, well-tended garden with pool was a green oasis with trees, bushes and flowers - we loved it! Dassia has a lovely beach just 6 minutes walk from the house and you can dine at the water's edge, overlooking the beautiful bay. There is a great bus service to Corfu Town from outside the house and car hire and taxis are readily available. There are plenty of good restaurants and bars all within walking distance and Corfu Town itself is brilliant! Thank you, Marilena, we loved our stay at the Red House!

Traffic can be busy in front of the house so there is some road noise in the front garden but it is quiet inside the house, on the rear terrace where we ate, and in the garden.

The House is very beautiful and clean, very central, close to the beach, bus and town. Marelina is a wonderful host, she was always with us when we needed anything. As a family with 2 kids, it is also very practical and comfortable for kids and the pool area is also very very nice.

An absolute gem of a property in a fabulous location. Marilena has created beautiful secluded retreat in bustling Dassia. The beach, cafes, restaurants, bars and stores are all on your doorstep but behind the gates to the Red House you have your own hidden oasis - its the best of both worlds. In the morning we would go two doors down to get our freddo espresso and pastries to have in the picturesque garden. At night the first stop was one of the local tavernas before walking down the beach to a lively bar for a cocktail, both bedrooms are at the back of the house so we would return to have a quiet, peaceful nights sleep. The rest of the day it was hard to leave the pool but it was made easier with Corfu town and many other beautiful beaches a short drive away. Marilena and her team are so lovely and helpful but they make sure you have total privacy during your stay. We will definitely be returning!
