Villa Oleander - Villa with private pool. Arrival & departure day is Monday

Had a really lovely week at Villa Oleander. Shay and Stephen were the perfect hosts. The property wasclean, the outside area and pool exceptional, couldn’t really have asked for more. We would definitely stay here again.

The villa is beautiful! Very private, equipped with everything you might need and well maintained. Shay and Stephen were incredibly helpful and easily contacted for help or advice. Check in was easy and our hosts provided basic supplies to get us started. The villa is very central and the whole usland is within easy reach. You will, however need a car and nerves of steel to drive it!One of the best experiences we have had in many years of villa renting.

To start with Shay and Stephen are very good on all details before travelling, down to, not just written instructions but also in pictures, and sent us all info on villa, so all prepared. Stephen met us on arrival and very easy to get key. Villa clean and very well equipped, comfy bed. Pool area good with comfy cushions for loungers. Very private. Def need a car, village only 10 mins walk but there a tiny shop and nothing else, we hired a car from value plus car rentals, they were very good. Only thing that we did not like were dogs in the distance barking, and in the night, but that not shay and stephens fault. Would def recommend this villa.

A lovely two weeks spent at Villa Oleander. The location is very peaceful and off the beaten track and a perfect central location for exploring the island. As mentioned in the villa information a car is a definitely a necessity. The villa was clean, tidy and well equipped and maintained discreetly throughout our stay. Stephen and Shay were the perfect hosts, they completely respected our privacy but were always available if we needed them or had any questions. Before our arrival Shay was very responsive to emails and the information they provided was very extensive and extremely beneficial to our stay. We would definitely recommend hiring a boat to explore the coastline. Spiros boat hire in Barbati was a great recommendation in the villa information guide. We would not hesitate to book this villa again so if you’re considering a booking you will not be disappointed. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Firstly the hosts Shay and Stephen have done a wonderful job here, the instructions on directions and within the villa were easy to follow. They greeted us on arrival and were so welcoming! The villa has everything you can ask for including ALL kitchen utensils which is my bug bear! The villa was spotless as was the pool and patio area. As its south facing the pool was so warm and inviting and I agree with previous reviews, the photos don't do this beautiful villa justice! Perfect location to travel around especially to the west and south coast, Pelekas was lovely with some fabulous restaurants and great beach which we didn't visit until later in our week silly billy! We will know better next time - we never go to the same place twice but we are already looking at dates for next year...our children are already looking forward to it! Thank you Shay and Stephen for a wonderful and relaxing holiday xx

Perfect! Charming rural location, but 5mins away from main road and easy access to anywhere on the island. Really has everything you need, with lovely, helpful, friendly, accessible hosts who understand how to be available and engaging, but respect guests privacy. We will certainly be returning to Villa Oleander. Thank you for a fantastic, relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable stress free holiday.

Oleander Villa is just an amazing place to spend holiday in Corfu. The villa is located in a small village, Afra, in the countryside, in a very quiet place. You are only surrounded by some other villas (among them, Shay and Stephen's) and some farms. You may come across some sheeps and goats when driving to town. Afra is ideally located in the middle of the Island. It is just 8 km (20 min) from Corfou old town, 12 km from Glyfada beach (one of the best beach of the island if you love sand), 32 km from the deep south and Issos Beach, 35 km (1 hour) from the North west, Sidari and the famous canal d'amour', so you can tour and discover the whole island from Afra. The villa and its garden (we loved the small oliver trees and laurel) is really great and the swimming pool is just a must-have in the summer. Shay and Stephen are great hosts and will always try to answer yours requests. We needed some towels for the beach and french TV and we have both in a minute. They lived just across the road so it is reassuring but they are also very respectful of your intimacy. We will love to spend some other holiday at Villa Oleander and meet Shay and Stephen again.

The villa is super conveniently located to be able to access all parts of the island at a very easy drive and is really close to some of the fantastic beaches such as Glyfada. Shay and Stephen were wonderful hosts who were very helpful with the check in and out processes and generally with information and ideas of what to do in Corfu. The villa was very clean and comfortable with a fantastic pool and outdoor area to sit and relax in.

we had a lovely quiet family holiday. the owners shay and stephen were wonderfully kind and able to help with anything. a perfect place to relax and unwind

Having just returned from a two week stay at Villa Oleander, we are all agreed that it is the perfect location for a great family holiday. The villa was perfect; spotlessly clean, well equipped and in an ideal location to explore the island. Shay and Stephen were really helpful in suggesting a car hire company etc. They were also really good at respecting our privacy, but it was great to know that they were there at the end of an email or text if needed. The pool is lovely and well maintained. The sun beds lived up to expectations from other reviews! Overall we would not hesitate to recommend Villa Oleander to anyone who is looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday in a location that is in easy reach of any of Corfu’s beaches and attractions. Thank you to Shay and Stephen for being such thoughtful hosts.
