Charming traditional house which sits on a hill above the pretty villag of Karousades. There are magnificent sea and mountain views from the balcony, a great place to enjoy your morning coffee! The ground floor features a built-in kitchen and dining area plus a bathroom/shower. Wooden stairs lead to the spacious bed/living room on the first level which features a double bed and a settee and leads to the balcony.

The property includes a separate studio opposite which was recently refurbished and combined is ideal for 2 couples to share or a family to spread out. The studio has its own sleeping are, shower and kitchenette.

At the back of the studio is a large shady veranda and garden where one can ralax away from the midday heat or enjoy open air living in the evening. From the house it is just a 5 min walk to the village centre with bakery, pharmacy, tavernas and a supermarket. Karousades is a very traditional village and the residents are very friendly and helpful. We have often come home to find fresh vegtables or fruit on the door-step.
The property is under two miles from the peaceful sandy beach at Astrakiri where there are a 3 excellent restaurants with beautiful sea views.

Karousades is perfectly located to explore the North of the island. Whilst there is a bus service to Corfu town and local attractions you will get the most from your stay if you hire a car or scooter. There are local agencies for hiring vehicles in Rhoda and Acharavi or from the airport. Its best to book in advance in the high season as otherwise you coud miss out!

Corfu is also called the green island becaue of its extensive green olive groves which help to make the place feel cool and produces the tasty local olive oil. There are estimated to be well over three million olive trees being cultivated, covering roughly a third of the Island.

The north of Corfu is renowned for its beautiful sandy beaches. Hire a car or a scooter and take a tour of the North and its many magnificent beaches or go West to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the sea.

    A real Greek village, quiet and away from the hotspots but within easy reach of beaches and tourist towns. Lovely friendly neighbours. Simon was easily contactable, Spiros met us when we arrived and made sure we had plenty of bottled water when the supply to the village was temporarily off

    There were several roaches and the old air conditioner filled up with no way of changing it out... I think a modern aircon is needed in the main house as we suffered the summer heat and made it uncomfortable to get good rest. The host didn't respond until morning and didn't know how to help us. Other than that, the host was nice and though it took him and his assistant a couple days to fix the shower head in the lower house, they managed to take care of it.. The little porch and garden was the highlight of this place. Beds are stiff and firm. The place is cute and fairly spacious.

    We were met and showed to the cottage and first impressions were slightly apprehensive.....due to location. But once we had settled in and got our bearings we absolutley loved both the house and it's location. Sidari was just a short drive away for the odd evening out and a tribute show or two! Lots of nice traditional places to eat within easy reach.

    We were so pleased to find this beautiful little house in a village amongst the locals far away from the tourist resorts- real Corfu! The property is a traditional stone building restored very lovingly inside. Modern, clean & having all that you need. The views from the house are amazing of the distant hills and sea and you wake up each morning to see such wonders from the kingsize bed! The nearest beach and taverna serving excellent food is 5 minutes drive away. Our favourite beach was at Agni bay- such clear warm water & the sight of little fish swimming round your ankles! Your own transport is a must so that you can explore this beautiful island. We would thoroughly recommend this property & hope to return again.

    We found this beautiful apartment online while looking for a place to stay on Corfu Island. We wanted something a little bit off “the beaten path”, away from the main tourist hangouts, large enough for two, fairly close to the coast and with cooking facilities. We were definitely not disappointed – it even exceeded our expectations! This apartment is both romantic and cosy and a good size for one or two people. One can buy anything one needs in downtown Karousades, which is about a 5 minute walk away. Definitely try the bread from the local bakery! The facilities are good and we cooked for ourselves the entire two and a half weeks we were there. We were there in the off season, but one can tell from the feel of the town that it is not frequented as often by tourists, even during the high season (in contrast to the towns on the coast, such as Sidari). A reason for this may be that Karousades is on a fairly steep hill, which isn’t to be underestimated when planning to go out. There are bus stops nearby, but we never took them and we didn’t find out the schedules. We were here with our bikes, which we only recommend if one is fit, as the northern part of the island is very hilly. It was a good work out though ;). For those wanting to get out of the house often we would recommend having a car. When we had questions about the apartment, the service was always very quick and to our full satisfaction. The view from balcony is absolutely gorgeous and makes up for it being a bit narrow. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment and would definitely recommend it to others!
