Barbati Luxury House by Corfuescapes

Location, Patio area was a good size, the air conditioning was amazing, the front bedroom was a brilliant and comfortable size. Kitchen was well equipped.

The bathroom, small and awkward shape, not big enough, certainly not adequate enough for 4 people.

Very specious and relaxing. Lovely decor and beds were very comfortable, kitchen well equipped.

Nothing.

Admins reply pretty quickly (however not always helpful, but still). When we complained baby cot does not have any linens, admin arrived in a couple of hours to provide it. WiFi worked well. The location is good, Barbati beach is one of our favourites, multiple good restaurants are within walking distance. Having washing machine available was pretty helpful. Btw in the washing room we found a relatively new but very dirty high chair which we were told was not available. There is a feeling initially the house was designed to serve guests comfort, but at the moment nobody cares much to continuosly maintain it.

First of all, the villa is far from what can be called luxuruos. The photos are more or less accurate, but the photographer and the staging were really professional. In fact the house is not that bright and the lightning is not sufficient. Bathroom is the tiniest and the darkest I have ever seen (no light in wash basin at all!). The lamp in the kitchen hood was broken and having insufficient lighting around made cooking pretty tricky (I can see from previous reviews it's broken of a couple of months already). Cleaning is way below expectations. We stayed for 9 days and the cleaning lady arrived once to change the linens and that was it. In comparison with other properties where we stayed, where full cleaning happens every other day, this was really unpleasant surprise. When we arrived the house was not super clean as well, a lot of surfaces were dusty and I saw hair that were not ours... Soap dispenser was leaking. When I complained to the admins, they said the house was cleaned before we came (well, I am sure it was, but definitely not as thorough as it should have been). The lounge area, the highlight of promo photos, is in terrible condition, pillow cases are dirty, noone would like to relax there, most likely they are not cleaned during the season. Also check in was extremely confusing - instead of providing clear instructions how to get from your designated car parking spot to the house you get a number of photos. We spent 15min with a toddler in our hands to find the front entrance and the key. This would never happen if we got a short video showing you need to walk to the right side path from your parking spot not to the left which is closer and looks more natural.

The place is located 100 meters from the beach, which is one of the best on Corfu due to clean warm water and the view. The apartment is well decorated and furnished. Looks like on the photos. It has all the equipment and utensils for kitchen you may possibly need. The terrace is wonderful.

The biggest issue was air conditioners that were not clean (see pics) and the unit in one of the bedrooms didn't work. I cleaned the filters and management team has sent technician who sprayed something on evaporator and they ordered the malfunctioning unit replacement. However the replacement didn't arrive while we were there so hopefully it was fixed later. The other problem is really tiny shower but we expected that so no big deal. Also there are ants so make sure to keep the kitchen clean and take your trash away (containers are on the main road, so you have to walk a little bit).

Beautiful location...close yo beach...bedrooms comfortable and clean

Shower right beside toilet pool of water around toilet cause smell, sofa cushions dirty and covers are blankets so easy to see dirty seat cushions

Great location, AC worked well. Nice bedrooms. Kitchen well stocked.

1 tiny basic bathroom with very small shower. Outside sofa not as shown in photos. Not a luxury house.
