We are a group of 6 female friends and rented this delightful villa for one week. it was a wonderful experience. The building is excellently furnished, with great art work , and the kitchen is well equipped. The beach below is gorgeous and the views across to Albania stunning. Fabulous pool surrounded by olive trees. Shopping was more difficult because we did not have a car. But we managed to walk to the shops and also to Kassiopi, and sometimes took taxis that were reasonably priced at 10 Euros

We are so happy to hear that you and your friends enjoyed your stay in our house. I’m glad you managed to find a way to bring back provisions - it can be quite difficult without a car. There is a supermarket in Sinies which will deliver - too late to tell you that now, I know; sorry! Glad you appreciated the pool and the beach - both are very special we think. Many thanks for taking the time to write this lovely review.

This was our 10th consecutive family summer holiday on the beautiful North East coast of Corfu. We have used this villa for the last five of those visits since, put quite simply, it is fabulous in every way and highly recommended. As always, we loved the pool and the short walk to Avlaki bay, where you can swim in cool crystal clear water with not too many people to spoil the tranquility or eat and drink at one of two tavernas on the bay. We even found a great new restaurant this year, Lismari. Great setting, super food and excellent service and they picked us up from the villa and took us back free of charge, what’s not to like! Great owners, great helpful local team, give it a go……as long as is not not when we want to be there

Thank you so much for these lovely, kind words. We are hugely gratified that you continue to love staying in Koutsounada, even five years on from your first stay. As you know, we love it too, and try to make adjustments and improvements every year. It’s great that Avlaki beach remains relatively undiscovered, and that it remains largely untouched by commercialism. Long may that last!

Excellent Villa in a Quiet Location

Excellent accommodation if you want a top quality villa in a quiet location. The 2 restaurants / tavernas next to the beach and 5 minutes stroll away are both excellent. If you have a car then this a great base from which to visit Northern Corfu but it is also fine to just kick back with friends.

Perfect family stay

This is a beautiful house and suited us - 6 adults - perfectly, though would work well for up to eight. We loved the pool and various spaces to sit outside, to eat, read or sunbathe, and made good use of the table-tennis and bbq. Perfectly situated for peace and calm, but an easy stroll to the beach for swimming, boat hire and excellent taverna.

Beautiful Villa in a great location

We loved the villa and the pool was beautiful. The villa is just a short walk to Avlaki beach and a great Taverna. The villa was extremely well equipped and very comfortable. The managers were very attentive and it was kept really clean for the entirety of our stay. The area is beautiful with lots of towns to explore either by car or even better by boat.

It sounds like you were impressively energetic in all your explorations of the area - you put us to shame! It’s such a treat having the beach such a short stroll away, with a wonderful taverna on hand for lazy lunches, isn’t it?

Wonderful Koutsounada

Our third visit to this wonderful villa on Avlaki bay. Everything was as good as previous visits which will ensure we come back many more times. Our grownup family for the first week and friends for the second is a winning combination. We visited our usual restaurants (Cavo barbera, Thomas’s, Nikolas, Kochili, and our brand new favourite, Kima in Kassiopi). Highly recommend.

Pottering around the coast in a boat, stopping off for a drink, food and swim is an idyllic summer pastime isn't it? Just ambling down to the taverna is also blissful - glad you got to enjoy both.

Perfect holiday retreat

Stayed for a very enjoyable week in June and found the villa/house to be very comfortable and well placed for a quiet retreat in a delightful garden with a wonderful pool. However, the lovely Avlaki Bay is just a short walk away and has the great fortune to have a very friendly taverna - Cavo Barbaro - which produced such delicious food that we ate there 5 nights out of the 7! We had a couple of trips out and really enjoyed a boat trip which afforded us the opportunity to see all the surrounding bays from a different vantage point. Everyone was so friendly in Corfu and I would thoroughly recommend the house.

Delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay in Koutsounada, and that you managed to get out and about a little by boat. We are very lucky having Cavo Barbaro on our doorstep - like you, we always seem to end up eating there, despite our very best intentions to eat in! I think Fotis and Kallina produce some of the best food on the island.

Family reunion

We stayed at Koutsounada House 10 years ago and everything was just as we remembered-only better. The addition of the ping pong table went down especially well with the young people! Communication from the owner and housekeeper was excellent, as before. Plenty of space for the 7 of us, and never a problem finding a quiet shady spot to read. In summary, Koutsounada is clean, spacious, comfortable and in an ideal spot -walking distance to the beach but nice and quiet back at the house!

Peaceful quiet setting, loved hearing the sound of the pebbles from beach moving with waves. Generous sized pool to exercise in, well equipped to high standard throughout the house. Seconds from beach and two tavernas, local supermarket delivers and will come and collect you.

This is our third two week stay at this fantastic villa and we have loved it more each time. The location is perfect with fabulous beaches and restaurants close by, including Kassiopi, which has many great places to eat and is only 10 minutes away by car. If you want to chill, this is fine too as the villa has everything you could possibly need. It is quiet with many cool places to sit outside and read, as we like to do, a well equipped kitchen, a barbecue, table tennis and air conditioning throughout. We thoroughly recommend this villa, we will be back and if we could give it a 6 out of 5 we would 😎

Lovely villa in a superb position.

A wonderful week in Corfu staying at Koutsounada House. The villa was very spacious for 8 of us and the location behind Avlaki beach was perfect. The outside area feels a little overgrown around the house, so we chose not to dine outside due to the number of wasps. We spent one day by the pool which is fantastic and has plenty of very comfortable sun loungers. The house itself is very well equipped and everything works well, although the hot water is limited. Brilliant restaurants within walking distance such as Cavo Barbaro which is beautiful in the evening. Hope to return next year!

Well equipped villa, perfect pool in a lovely setting and a great location.

We visited the villa for a second year and, despite having built it up in our minds following a wonderful first visit, it did not disappoint. The villa is well equipped with efficientl air conditioning. The garden is mature and beautiful and a wonderful pool catches the sun all day (in late June at least). Nearby Avlaki beach (no more than 200 yards) is quiet and unspoilt, although it is a pebble beach. At the beach there is an excellent taverna, Cavo Barbaro, which we would very highly recommend. Agios Stefanos is less than a 10 minute drive away and well worth a visit with some great bars and restaurants. We had a really enjoyable time, it was quiet and relaxing.

Koutsounada <3

As a family group (2 parents and 3 adult daughters plus their partners) we stayed for the first week in September and it was blissful. We loved the decor of the pretty house which was as described and clean,spacious and well equipped. The pool is large and we spent many an afternoon chilling there. An early morning scenic coastal hike to Agios Stefanos is fun and you can grab some breakfast there and walk back or get someone to pick you up. Can recommend renting a boat from Avlaki Boats (on the beach) for the day. Communication both with the owner Patricia and the housekeeper Natushka was excellent and informative. We ate at both beach tavernas but far preferred the vibe/food at Cavo Barbaro. We hope to return and would love to stay for longer next time.

Thanks for your lovely review of your stay in Koutsounada, Kate. It sounds like you managed to pack quite a lot in during your week there. That coastal walk to Agios Stefanos, is stunning isn't it? We sometimes stop half way to swim off one of the deserted beaches, or to enjoy a picnic, before pressing on for the very welcome refreshments at our journey's end. We much prefer Cavo Barbaro too - the other taverna is overpriced and lacks authenticity somehow. We'd love to welcome you back anytime - meanwhile enjoy the autumnal weeks ahead!

Another glorious holiday

We returned to this wonderful villa after a gap of 4 years. It was like coming home to an old friend. All every bit as good as my last review (see review posted June 2018) I forgot how lovely the pool was and the proximity of the sea and the fabulous Cavo Barbaro (taverna at the end of the drive) We had friends and family staying and the days slipped by seamlessly. Even the excitement of a biblical storm and a 6 hour power cut did not diminish our enjoyment. Also highly recommend Kochili taverna in Stefano- which we visited several times.

So happy to hear that Koutsounada was as you remembered it William. There’s nothing to beat being able to amble down to the beach for a morning/evening swim. We’re so lucky to have Cavo Barbaro on our doorstep - for those times when cooking seems like too much trouble, which in our case is most days! We can’t wait to be there ourselves in a couple of weeks.

About the host

Host profile image
We are two families who have always holidayed together since our children were very small. We first spent a holiday in north east Corfu in 2005, and were so impressed with the area that we found ourselves returning year-on-year.

In 2008 we eventually found a suitable plot on which to build our much-loved Koutsounada House. Even after so many years we still look forward to holidaying together in our joint home, and take great pleasure in seeing how the house and garden have developed and matured over time.
