Villa Alexia is a spacious, south-facing property set on 1.2 acres of olive and cypress trees, offering privacy, natural beauty, and direct access to crystal-clear waters. The villa benefits from all-day sunlight and shelter from prevailing northwesterly winds, making it ideal for swimming, relaxing, and dining al fresco.
A rare gem of the property is the large oak tree just 10 meters from the sea, providing natural shade for outdoor dining—thanks to a nearby seasonal stream that nourishes the grounds.
The 265 m² (2,853 sq ft), fully air-conditioned villa is let as one property but consists of three independent units with shared outdoor spaces, accommodating up to 12 guests across 6 bedrooms. This layout is ideal for extended families or groups of friends, offering privacy when desired and togetherness when it matters most.

The property was great for a large family vacation including two young families with altogether 7 kids a and one set of grandparents. One large apartment with 3 bedrooms, one smaller apartment with 2 bedrooms and a studio for the grandparents. Each one with at least one bathroom and a kitchen. The pool was much appreciated by the kids, it was even possible to bathe in April, we were very lucky with the weather. Rental car is very advisable. Great location for groups of family and/or friends.
Wir durften mit 8 Freunden einen wunderschönen Urlaub in der Villa Alexia verbringen. Alles war perfekt...der Empfang, die Villa, der Garten mit eigenem Strand und der besondere Service haben unsere Erwartungen weit übertroffen. Im großzügigen Garten gibt es überall gemütliche Sitzecken und Liegen und man kann als Gruppe oder alleine die tolle Aussicht auf das Meer und Korfu-Stadt genießen. Auch das Haus bietet viel Platz und Rückzugsmöglichkeiten für alle. Der kleine Ort Nissaki verfügt über kleine Supermärkte, eine Bäckerei und einige nette Tavernen. Für Ausflüge in die Umgebung ist ein Auto empfehlenswert. Wir haben uns in der Villa Alexia rundum wohlgefühlt und jeden Tag an diesem zauberhaften Ort genossen.
A lovely comfortable place to stay for a multigenerational family holiday. The Villa was exactly as described in info - next to the sea, with its own small rocky beach, wonderful pool and outside eating/catching up areas. Very helpful owners.
It was very well organised with lots of help getting shopping delivered, despite the supermarket web page not yet set up. Ditto boat hire as we were there just pre season, but boats were launched nonetheless. The villa was excellent for our needs with studio for grandparents and apartments for each of the two young families. Plenty of equipment for catering. Lastly, thanks to Maria and her family, any requests were dealt with immediately.
We were 4 families staying at Villa Alexia and it could not have been more perfect. The property has plenty of space for everyone to be together or find their own quiet nook.
The views from this home are exactly as pictured in the listing. It is one of very few homes on the East side of the Island that is on the water, with its own beach access and a large private pool. The home is great for families of all ages - we had two children and an infant stay in the unit comfortably. The set up also allows for multiple families to stay together across the three separate units. Spiros and Maria were great hosts and easy to communicate with, they even arranged our transport and provided a welcome basket of goods waiting for us when we arrived. I would recommend this property to others.
Our two families - 4 adults, 7 kids - spent a fabulous week at Villa Alexia this half term. The property is quite old fashioned so don’t expect a modern style villa - but that’s how we like it. Facilities wise it has everything families need and is comfortable and cool. But don’t come here for that, come for the location and aspect which is absolutely fantastic. Having our own pool, beach and privacy in such a beautiful setting was magical. And it’s a special place for nature lovers. Lizards, Sardinian Warblers and butterflies by day, Scops owls, bats and moths by night plus loads to see with a snorkel. And the location is brilliant for exploring the north of Corfu - from the countless coves, beaches and tavernas to the mountains. We will be back - thank you Maria, Costos, Spiros for a fabulous stay.
"Six months ago when I began planning a trip to Corfu, I looked at many villas for rent and finally decided on Villa Alexia, primarily because of its size and close proximity to the sea. I could not have chosen a better place.
Our group of eight adults consisted of two couples from France and a family from the United States. We had all been vaccinated but with Covid still hanging over our heads, the villa provided enough space for everyone to feel at ease while offering wonderful gathering spots outside......either upstairs on the balcony, by the pool or downstairs at the large table under the trees. Our hosts, Maria and Spiros, were always available to answer any questions and provided us with invaluable information, such as where to get Covid tests before our return home. They even generously offered a cake and champagne for one of the guest's birthday on our first night of arrival.
The villa is equipped with everything one needs. Having three kitchens , one upstairs and two downstairs, is an added plus. We often cooked and it was helpful to take dishes from downstairs to the table by the sea. We could also use the dishwasher in the back apartment when we had too many dishes to carry upstairs.
A couple of practical considerations for those wishing to rent the Villa: Corfu is not flat and there are hills everywhere. Because the villa is built on a hillside, it has many steps. For those with mobility issues (bad knees, for example), the apartment or studio downstairs is an ideal option. The wonderful sea at the doorstep is also a great asset but the shore and seabed are rocky and can be slippery. Some wore Crocs to wade into the sea but they became cumbersome for swimming. It definitely would be helpful to have a pair of water shoes.
An added bonus for animal lovers: a marvelous Tabby that we named Palamaki visited every day and showered us with purr-fect affection.
I can't believe that it has been two weeks since I first arrived at the villa. Our time there was like a dream and we certainly hope to return some day.
We really enjoyed our stay at villa Alexia. We loved the ability to swim off the small pebble beach just outside the gate of the house. The water is clear and beautiful. We loved watching the moon from the top terrace at night. The owner is super helpful and responded very quickly to all requests. The only thing I would say it that the top kitchen is really tiny if you plan on cooking for a large group. This also limits the number of people who can have breakfast in the kitchen (2 at most). Nevertheless, there is an outdoor barbecue which we enjoyed, and the outdoor dining table right by it is in a lovely spot. The house is really quirky with its three separate units (it did not bother us). The house’s biggest asset is its location, with its special direct access to the sea, and the outside space.
This villa is very unique and situated in a stunning location. We have been to Corfu many times in the last couple of years, and we wanted to visit again and chose this villa for its location and size so that we were able to cerebrate our wedding/honeymoon with our family members.
The owners were very generous and provided a beautiful cake and champagne so that we could toast our marriage. And complimentary transfers to the air port. It was very thoughtful and kind of them.
The villa is split into three apartments, all of them with well stocked kitchens and plenty of clean towels in the bedrooms. Being split like this worked well for us. It gave all of us some privacy, we then all came together to eat on the first floor, the metal balcony area on the first floor was a great place to meet and socialize as a family. We spent one evening watching the most amazing thunder and lighting storm, all very exciting. There are plenty of places around the villa to just sit and relax or read a book.
The pool is a good size for swimming , its location looking over the sea was amazing. The pool was a good size and was used frequently, its a beautiful spot to just sit and get the most amazing views over the sea to Albania. Or just watching the sun come up at day break. One morning I witnessed a whale breaking water out to sea.
Although the local area was somewhat quiet we still found lots to do. We hired a car for a couple of days to explore and to visit Kalami and to Sidari to see the Chanal d' Amour.
We also hired a boat for the day to go fishing and to have lunch in Agios Stefanos. I can highly recommend this place. This was a beautiful traditional Greek harbor. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from and a well stocked gift shop to brows for glass/ceramics or olive wood products.
Although the weather could have been better it did not spoil our holiday we did have a fantastic week and really enjoyed our stay at Villa Alexia.
Maria and Spiros are great hosts. Thanks for a great holiday. MB
Villa Alexia is in a stunning location with direct access to the sea.
It’s beautifully private and has fantastic views. We loved the various areas to sit for meals, drinks, sunbathing or relaxing in the shade. There are several really lovely tavernas within walking distance and we were able to order groceries online so there’s no need for a car.
It’s nice and clean and the beds are comfy. The main kitchen is a little small for such a large villa but maybe that’s a function of being split in to 3 apartments. But we ate out most nights as we found the tavernas to be good value and the food was delicious.
Von unserer Anfrage, bis zur Buchung lief alles reibungslos. Unserer Ansprechpartner waren immer erreichbar und sehr zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und bemüht. Die Villa Alexia ist wunderschön, in einer traumhaften Lage. Wir wollen auf jeden Fall wiederkommen und können die Villa sehr empfehlen!
Met de kinderen en kleinkinderen hier onze vakantie gevierd. We hebben genoten, een hele mooie rustige plek. Een grote tuin eromheen met een BBQ. We hebben dan ook geregeld de BBQ aangestoken, en s'avonds met elkaar daar gezellig gegeten en lekker lang nagetafeld. Zwembad werd elke ochtend nagekeken en schoongemaakt, ook was er 3 x in de week schoonmaak van het huis. Het huis is ruim, dus iedereen had ook zijn eigen privé optrekje. De ontvangst was goed, super vriendelijke mensen, je voelt je meteen welkom. In de buurt zijn meerdere leuke restaurantjes. Je kan er lopend naartoe maar je loopt langs een weg zonder voetpad, dus met de auto is veiliger. Wij hebben voor 5 dagen een bootje gehuurd bij Denny, Maria heeft zijn tel.nr.
Elke ochtend om 9 uur werd het bootje gebracht met koelbox met koelelement erin en volle tank, om 18 uur weer opgehaald door Denny en s'morgens 9 uur lag het bootje er weer schoongemaakt en met volle tank. Overdag hadden we wel last van de wespen, maar s'avonds vanaf 20 uur(dan is het donker) zijn de wespen niet meer actief en kan je ongestoord buiten eten met elkaar en van de heerlijke zomeravonden aan zee genieten. We hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad op een hele mooie bijzondere plek op Corfu.
Superb position with direct access to sea, lovely pool. Excellent facilities for dining outside. Excellent supermarkets within one mile. Water sports and boats available nearby.

A splendid family holiday
We decided to have a week's holiday together as a family to mark our 40th wedding anniversary and by good fortune found that we could return to Nissaki having stayed at the adjacent Olive Press some 35 years before when our second child was just 6 months. We were now a generation on with our own three children, two with partners, and four grandchildren. Villa Alexia worked wonderfully well both in the nature of the accommodation provided, its facilities, particularly the pool but also the various different areas of the grounds, and what was, effectively, a private beach. Added to this Nissaki remains thoroughly charming, and is close by. The villa was clean and well supplied. The charming owners took an interest in our stay and were very helpful when we asked for information. A thoroughly worthwhile holiday

Paradise in Corfu!! Can’t wait to return!
When our son broke his arm just before our holiday were overwhelmed when Maria and Spiros went the extra mile to try accommodating us another date. They were very easy to contact and always friendly and helpful.
The villa itself was dreamlike!! We hired a car which was helpful as we had young children and the walk to the nearest restaurant was a bit too far.
When at the villa we used 2 out of the 3 apartments and found they met our needs perfectly. The kitchen in the bigger upstairs apparentment was well equipped and we cooked meals regularly during our stay. The outside BBQ was also lovely however there were a few pesky wasps around.
The beds were very comfortable in all the rooms with very good air conditioning throughout. The smart TV was great as the children could watch films on Netflix in the evening (upstairs apartment).
Outside the pool was fantastic! Just as you see in the pictures. In September it was warm enough our children still played in it all day!. There are many places to relax outside with beds by the pool, table and chairs by the bbq, a table and chairs on the upper balcony and comfy recliners overlooking the beach.
The beach is made up from pebbles but the water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkelling. My husband and son spent many hour fishing and caught many small pretty fish.
There are a few shops a short drive away. One delivered a welcome basket to the property with wine which was a nice touch. They seemed very keen to find out how big our party was (2 different members of staff asked this question with little interest in who was traveling but possibly how much trade they would get from us) and we felt a little pressured in having to use their shop. Shop was ok but no prices on items.
We found the shops in ipsos had more choice and seemed cheaper.
Our week at the villa was just what we needed to relax and unwind. If you like the pictures book it! It is as beautiful as you hope it will be! We really hope to stay again in the future and have recommended Villa Alexia to a number of families we know.
Thank you Spiros, Maria & Costa. We had the most perfect stay!

Alles wunderbar, Lage aussergewöhnlich direkt am Meer.
Wir waren mit einer 12-köpfigen Malgruppe bestens in der Villa Alexia aufgehoben. Die Lage direkt am Strand war traumhaft und der grosse Garten hat uns sehr inspiriert. Herzlichen Dank!

Fantastic holiday in Coirfu
Fabulous villa in a wonderful location. We were 3 generations of our family for a special celebration, so villa layout was ideal for our needs and exceptionally well equipped. Maria and Spiros were excellent hosts and looked after us very well. We loved having the sea so close for snorkelling/swimming and we also had lots of fun in the pool.
We recommend Aphodites supermarket who were most helpful and will deliver.
Although there are tavernas in walking distance, we particularly liked Vitamins Taverna, a short drive away.
Wonderful holiday and highly recommended by all our family.

An outstanding villa with a spectacular location.
Suberb. A splendid villa great to get up and walk into the sea. Did not need a car as the supermarket delivers to the villa on a text message. Tavernas pick you up by boat from the pier next door. Although a later resident did make that rather difficult to achieve. That aside a superb holiday. Worth every euro and we will be back again.

Impressive and comfortable
The owners could not have been more helpful. Allowing us to check in early, and finding out we had late departures, telling us we could stay late were two examples of going the extra step.
They also offered free airport transfers and their team kept the flat spotless, the intro to the local shop was very helpful. The property has direct access to the sea and has plenty of outside space, the organisation into three separate spaces makes it easy to accommodate friends as well as family.
Both our minor issues were dealt with immediately. Overall a great place to stay

Supermooie villa op een rustig plekje aan de zee in de buurt van Nissaki
Omdat mijn ouders 50 jaar getrouwd waren, zochten wij een grotere villa waar wij met zijn allen (totaal 11 personen) in konden verblijven. Deze woning was voor ons perfect.
Omdat deze villa uit drie verschillende woongedeeltes bestaat konden we elkaar (meestal aan de grote tafel in de tuin) opzoeken maar ook als gezin in ons eigen gedeelte verblijven.
Aan de voorkant van de woning konden we makkelijk onze drie huurautotjes kwijt en de met afstandsbediende toegangspoort sluit de voortuin netjes af. Bij het wegrijden wel even goed opletten, want je komt meteen op de doorgaande weg uit.
De achtertuin heeft een vlonderpad naar een stenen privéstrand met uitzicht op Corfu stad.
Zowel in de woning als in de mooie tuin één en al rust.
We hadden nadat we deze woning hadden geboekt regelmatig met de eigenaren Maria en Spiros contact gehad onder andere over hoe de bedden opgemaakt moesten worden, of we nog andere wensen hadden, enz. Iedere vraag werd meestal binnen een dag beantwoord. We hadden dan ook al meteen het gevoel, dat we in een woning zouden komen waar alle puntjes op de i zouden staan.
Omdat we de eerste gasten van het seizoen waren, waren er een aantal kleine dingetjes die nog even opgelost moesten worden. Na een berichtje naar Maria werden deze dezelfde dag of de volgende dag meteen opgelost.
Ga zo door,
Familie Langers

Wow!!!
We had the most wonderful stay at the beautiful Villa Alexia! The views are to die for and the website pictutures cannot do it justice.
We were a family of 8 with young adult children and 50 something parents(who were prepared to pay for it all!!) We all enjoyed the infinity(!)pool and also enjoyed swimming in the sea off the outside beach outside the house, though this is abit rocky as others have stated but still glorious once you are in. We ate in a few times but mostly enjoyed the local tavernas, especially Glyfa, which we could walk to. Fabulous fresh fish and lovely service. We also enjoyed Vitamins for great Greek food.
We hired a boat from Fontas boats who did have a boat for all of us to fit on. This was a great success and it was so nice to swim off the boat and also to lunch at the many sea side tavernas, some really only easily assessable by boat. Even on very hot days, the sea breeze as you motor along is beautifully cooling.
Spiros and Maria were always in touch by email and ironed out any small problems we had as well as organising the taxies for our various arrivals. A car is a great necessity here as taxis are very expensive compared to the cost of everything else. The villa was very well equipped with efficient air conditioning, even in the lounge. The local supermarket, Aphrodite's who were very helpful and about 4 miles away, would deliver as well and we had breakfast of pastries and bread delivered most days.
All in all a wonderful and relaxing holiday in the fabulous Villa Alexia and we would love to go back. Thank you Maria and Spiros- it was brilliant!!

About the host
Hosted by Maria Paolineli
My family owns the "Glyfa" land at Nissaki since late 1800's, the time of my great-grand father and this is the place where my father grew-up, the same place where I and my brother grew-up and the same place where with my husband and children spent most of our vacation time. My father built this villa in 1974, so that each of his children could eventually have a property by the sea. Through the years the villa, managed by travel agencies, became a destination of choice for many people and many VIPs among them. Still, with my family, we decided that effective 2016 we start managing the villa ourselves. We reached this decision after realising that this is the only way to offer our guests the kind of experience we envision in a financially sustainable way. We expect that we will make a big contribution in helping our guests live a great holiday experience and create unforgettable memories.
Why they chose this property
This is one of the very few properties so close to the sea. Lying on 1.2 acres of green land covered by olive and oak trees it offers plenty of spots to enjoy the sea views. It is ideal for multi-generational families or groups of friends, who want to be together and at the same time enjoy privacy when they wish.
What makes this property unique
A unique location: Less than 30 meters from the sea beautiful views to the sea and Corfu town at the very far end. Enjoy privacy, serenity and quietness. As it is rented as one unit, large groups of friends and extended families can enjoy being together and also separate when they wish to!
