Maria's Dream House

Casa molto accogliente, pulitissima, bellissimi gli spazi esterni. Al nostro arrivo la sera abbiamo trovato della frutta, il necessario per la colazione, acqua in frigo e una piccola bottiglia di liquore locale, tutto molto gradito. Fornita di tutto il necessario, disponibilità di ombrelloni e stuoie. Abbiamo visto di persona la proprietaria solo l'ultimo giorno ma la comunicazione è sempre stata ottima, molto disponibile e attenta ai nostri bisogni (siamo rimasti chiusi fuori ed è arrivato subito il papà ad aiutarci 😅). Infine la casa si trova in un paesino tipico, molto carino e tranquillo, rilassante, lontano dal trambusto delle località più turistiche e con diverse taverne dove si mangia benissimo. Consiglio sicuramente.

Nulla, tutto benissimo.

It seems to be the only tourist accommodation in the village with the word ‘dream’ in its name. And it lives up to its name: essentially, it is a three-storey space — a huge terrace with a sofa and armchairs on the roof, accessed by a spiral staircase (with romantic sunsets and views of two sea bays), the main floor has a spacious living room and kitchen, as well as another veranda with a dining table, and the lower floor has two bedrooms and a shower room. The photos don't do justice to the beauty and spaciousness of the place. Very warm, hospitable and caring hosts: when a downpour broke out while we were out, they ‘rescued’ our clothes, which were drying on the upper terrace, and brought them down under the roof. The host Nikki was always available and answered any questions. I have been to Greece many, many times and this was my first time in Corfu: I did not regret anything — the hospitality was top-notch, the holiday accommodation was cosy, and it was in a village where local people also live, not just a place with hotels, bars and tourists. The local taverns (especially the neighbouring Strofi) are excellent, and the staff are friendly everywhere. It's a 15-minute walk down to the wild Fieroula beach, which is rocky but very romantic and has emerald water. You have to climb a steep slope to get back up, but you can also drive there.

This is not about what we didn't like, but about what one need to be prepared for and love if they rent this house. In general, we do not recommend renting accommodation in Pentati without a car: buses run twice a day on weekdays, and you'll need a 40-minute walk along a serpentine road or through a little forest to the nearest shop and another bus stop in Agios Gordios, where also the best sandy beach on the island is located. It is generally difficult to get around Corfu without a car, but do not rent a car that is too large for Pentati and similar villages: the winding roads are very narrow, with cliffs hanging overhead. In addition, mobile phone and Internet reception is very poor in the village and in this part of the island in general. Therefore, you cannot count on a 5G signal on your phone or high-speed Wi-Fi anywhere in this village, unless the owners install alternative satellite Internet. And one more thing: the spiral staircases in the house are extremely narrow and steep, with small steps. For some, this may seem like a challenge! But none of this bothered us, and we enjoyed absolutely everything. We hope to come back!

Great clean spacious house Well equipped and beautiful roof balcony overlooking the bay and the village.

The bedroom are on the lower floor and its a bit difficult to get up and down for not very long young people. We didn’t have any problems but for old people with walking and climbing issues it does.

Gut gelegen in einem typisch griechischen Dorf, schöne Dachterrasse und top ausgestattet

zum Strand ist immer etwas Fahrzeit einzuplanen, ebenso zu einem gut sortierten Supermarkt

Tutto molto curato, pulito, la signora nikki sempre disponibile

Nulla.

Nikki is the true super host, her place has an amazing view, is impeccable clean and she took care of every detail to welcome her guests (welcome fruits, and really good coffee pods, and another extras), plus the village where is located with the local restaurants, I couldn't ask for more.

A wonderful accomodation where nothing is missing. Many thanks to Nikki and her father Costa. We felt very confortable. Superb beaches nearby, local Tavernas in the village and a perfekt rooftop for the sundowner

Maria's Dream house is located in the beautiful village of Pentati which is located high in the mountains with fabulous views over the sea and mountains. The house is lovely and very clean and well presented. There are lovely outdoor seating area's and there are lots of tavernas within easy walking distance. The people were very friendly and we really enjoyed our stay.

Nothing, everything was lovely and this is a lovely house and place to stay.
