Gastouri Villa Pascalia with heated pool in October and views

Spacious inside & outside. Large pool. BBQ. Excellent air conditioning inside. Double height ceiling in main living area.

Some drivers may not manage the extremely steep entry for the track up to the property.

Rustic, clean, has everything you could possibly need, especially in the kitchen.

I am from Australia so a little biased re temperature - the pool is amazing but maybe turn on the pool heater a couple of days before arrival. 1st world problems of course.

Peaceful and calm!

Nothing!

We really enjoyed the location of the villa as it was away from the crowds and offered a beautiful, private setting with a lovely view. It was also conveniently close to a fantastic restaurant called Taverna Elia. The owner, Julia, was very responsive to any issues or questions we had. Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find the fridge stocked with milk, bread, beer, water, lemonade, honey, and yoghurt - which was amazing. The pool and villa were both cleaned during our stay. There's a nice quiet beach, supermarkets, tavernas, and touristy shops a short 10-minute drive away in Benitses. We regularly stopped at Captain Jack's, as the food, service, and value were excellent. Its 30mins away from Corfu Town and easy to get to any location on the island.

The only two things we didn't particularly like much, but are pretty minor overall, were the narrow road leading to the villa in some places with tight bends, which can be a bit challenging when large coaches are using the same route. This is especially problematic as it's next to the tourist location of Achellion Palace. Additionally, some drivers don't seem to be very cautious. Moreover, the villa is located next to a French military cemetery, and people visiting the cemetery can see into the pool area. It would be great to have a higher fence or some privacy screening. However, it's important to note that the cemetery isn't very busy—thankfully, we only saw three separate visits during our two-week stay.

Fantastic pool and balcony with fantastic views. Spacious interior with lots of seating options. Great air conditioning that was effective and quiet. Outdoor fridge was a nice touch. Showers were very nice. Garden was gorgeous with many flowers and very well kept. Well stocked kitchen (could add a blender). Welcome food and drinks were well appreciated.

Beds were extremely uncomfortable and soft with no support. The beds are the only reason we would not return. A minor complaint is that there is no shelf in ensuit shower so we had to keep our products on the floor. No lighting in ensuit bathroom except in mirror which was not sufficient. No bug screen on door leading to the pool so we had to use front door instead.

The views, scenery and location which was away from any hustle and bustle.

I got charged 150 euros for heating the swimming pool which never heated up throughout our stay. The maximum it got to was 22 degrees which was disappointing considering the weather was hot and sunny throughout - 24 to 28 degrees. Therefore the swimming pool was hardly used.

Beds were incredibly comfortable. The facilities- absolutely everything provided and thought of from parasols to take down the beach to a jigsaw on a rainy day.

Nothing

Arrived to a fridge full of water, milk, beer and wine. Plenty of pool towels. Beds were beyond comfortable, and there was plenty of space for two couples. Very private. Loved the large pool and ping pong table.
