Corfu island, Kassiopi, Private House with 4 Self-Catering Apartments

My mother and I had a fantastic stay at the Manessi apartments. First class attention to detail from Diana, as on arrival from Scotland, which was two hours late and after midnight she still welcomed us herself and introduced us to her homemade cake, cold, drinks and all the other necessities needed on arrival. The standard of the apartment was really high, with all the essentials and spotlessly clean just perfect. I must mention the mosquito nets on all doors and windows which was a plus and should be a must for other renters.

I would like to thank the Manessi’s for a relaxing stay and stress free time at their apartment.

Final words, we will be back hopefully in the future.

This is an adorable apartment set in beautiful gardens overlooking the gorgeous harbour. We had such a lovely few days there. Diana was hospitable, friendly. Helpful and welcoming. Nothing felt like too much trouble.

We were a family of four with two teenage girls, 15 and 17 who loved it. There is a crystal clear beach 5 minute walk away with shops and tavernas literally on the doorstop.

We would definitely recommend manessi apartments if you visit kassiopi.

We had an absolutely delightful stay here in June. The balcony was shady in the morning, but even when it got really hot in the afternoon there was always a lovely breeze, & we happily spent hours sitting watching boating activities in the harbour.

Evenings around the harbour were lively, but with double glazing & fans/air conditioning, noise was never a problem.

The apartment is perfect & very clean; Diana provided refreshments for our arrival, the beds are very comfortable & the bathroom is modern.

Kassiopi is a lovely little town with lots of excursions by road and sea.

We are going again next year!

I wish to endorse what other reviewers have said about this property. Everything and more was exactly as described.

When we arrived on a lovely summer day we did not know Diana but she very soon became a personal friend.

We had arrived minus my wife`s suitcase which had gone astray on Easyjet. As soon as we told Diana she insisted on taking my wife in her car to the next village to buy essential items. She then gave my wife a tour of the village.before returning. Once back at our apartment she took my wife upstairs to her own apartment where she opened her wardrobes and told my wife to choose whatever clothes she needed until her suitcase arrived, which it did two days later.

Things only got better after that . There was everything that we could need or want including Diana`s welcome pack of Greek foods including home made jam and a lovely pudding ,,together with Ginger Beer and Wine and other welcome items like biscuits.

In the pleasant front garden there were tables and chairs with Lemon trees loaded with fruit, plus as mentioned before, a family of Tortoises.

We stood in the garden one evening with a glass of wine each and looked over the hedge at the lights twinkling on the Harbour and people strolling past enjoying the beautiful evening, and we knew then that we had made the best choice ever for our holiday.

We were especially pleased to be able to use the splendid library provided by Diana for the use of her guests. The beds were very clean and comfortable and with the curtains drawn and the ceiling fan turning slowly we were able to sleep soundly with only very muted sounds from the Harbour area.

To sum up, Diana is a lovely lady in the real sense and nothing is too much trouble to ensure that her new friends have a holiday to remember, and that is certainly what she gave us.

I must mention Vera and Mike whose C O S M I C Travel Agency in the main street we used for all our boat and coach trips during our stay. They also became good friends together with Costas, the Captain of one of their boats, who made our sea trips so enjoyable and memorable. Lovely people all.

We had a glorious week and when it was time to leave, Diana and other friends from South Wales came over to the Harbour to wish us a safe journey and we were so moved that Costas came especially from his boat to say goodbye. We were very sad indeed to leave, but so pleased to have met such lovely people.

We keep in touch with Diana through emails, and we shall return asap.

This does not need to be a lengthy review, but merely a recent endorsement of all the previous reviews, which are all positive and still contemporary. We had a great time staying at our upstairs apartment and were so impressed at the hospitality that Diana afforded us as family of 4 with 2 teenage girls. There are so many small subtle things in the apartment that Diana has obviously thought about over the years and added in an effort to make sure that her guests feel welcome and comfortable. We certainly appreciated it all and found Diana to be such a warm and receptive host. We hope to return again one day when our teenagers have flown the nest. Thanks again Diana - all much appreciated.
