Family Holiday Villa in one of the Islands most Picturesque Traditional Villages by Prestige Villas of Corfu

Exclusive to Prestige Villas, Villa Rossi is a much-loved family holiday home that perfectly combines traditional Corfiot charm, beautiful gardens, and excellent value. Situated just five minutes’ drive from the beach and within a short stroll of local village tavernas and bars, this welcoming villa is one of our most popular properties, with many guests returning year after year, the glowing reviews truly speak for themselves.

Set on the edge of the award-winning, picturesque village of Gastouri, the villa is a beautifully restored country house in classic style, surrounded by peace, privacy, and the lush greenery of rural Corfu. Once the home of the owners’ great-grandmother, Rossi — a Scottish lady who married a local Corfiot — the property has been lovingly brought back to life after standing untouched for many years, retaining its character while offering all the comforts of modern living.

Guests arrive through private electric gates and along a sweeping driveway, immediately captivated by the villa’s charm. The tropical gardens are simply stunning, with manicured lawns, mature palms, and bursts of Mediterranean colour leading to the exceptionally large swimming pool and surrounding sun terraces. High-quality sun loungers with mattress’s, parasols, and garden furniture make it an ideal space for long, lazy days in the sun.

The villa comfortably sleeps eight guests, making it ideal for families or small groups. From the spacious covered veranda, guests can enjoy beautiful views across to Corfu Town and the sea beyond, a perfect spot for al fresco dining or a cool, shaded lounge area during the warm summer months.

Full of warmth, history, and authentic island character, Villa Rossi is a delightful retreat where guests can unwind, explore, and enjoy a truly memorable Corfu holiday.

Family holiday

Exactly as described and more. We loved this holiday. We had everything we needed and our grandchildren loved the pool. The grill bar in the village, 5 mins walk away served good food and a trip into Benitses and Corfu town gave a generous choice of restaurants. The drive up to the villa is an adventure but doable and we managed to make friends with our neighbours dog Olly. We had a lot of support from the housekeeper, pool guy and gardener, and im sure if there had been anything wrong it would have been sorted immediately. No complaints just smiles all the way.

Great location, beautiful garden, great outdoor seating, great warm pool.

Great location, great garden, great outdoor seating. Great pool, even in May nice and warm. We would book again. A few suggestions: 1. the 4th bedroom has no air conditioning and the bed squeaks terribly. 2. the upper bathroom is not so nice (no pictures in the prospect) 3.The outer door opener is defect. sometimes 10 tries until the gate opens. maybe the code should be changed, the 4 numbers everyone can see because the buttons are worn out. 4. An additional cooking pot would be nice. 5. The WLAN Code does not work, Android connects per WPS without code. The two I phone`s we could not connect. It was no Problem because we got LTE there. For the cleaning team: With a ceranfeldscraper you get the stove clean. The dishwasher was totally calcified and did not clean properly. Google helped: we reprogrammed the dishwasher from salt level zero to level 7 (max). So now enough bitching, the holiday was beautiful. With best regards H. R.

Spacious Elegant Villa in the hills

Enjoyed this villa very much. It is tucked away in a much older hilltop area near the achilleon palace. Some visitors have complained about the driveway and steepness but it was not a problem for us in a medium sized car. The floor plan is a little unusual with kitchen upstairs off the veranda and a sitting area downstairs. It worked well to give two couples some separation when needed. The veranda was spacious and airy with distant views north to Corfu town. Enjoyed the landscape. Quiet, and privacy. The private pool as a nice respite from the hordes at the beaches. Prestige villas fixed a plumbing issue with the water heater immediately when we called so we were very happy with them. Our only complaint is that the coffee maker was on its last legs, and kitchen knives were pretty poor for cooking. It was stocked with beer, wine, instant coffee and some snacks. We got ground coffee and clothes soap on our own. Walking through gastouri in the evening was beautiful. No other visitors around just us and the locals. Could not really walk to any tavernas in the evening. Perhaps closed due to COVID. Town of Benitses an easy drive down to the coast. O stratos we ate twice and was excellent. The owner of the villa was supposed to come and fix the TV service but he never showed. So we missed a few UCL matches - so what. All in all, we loved this place. Had a wonderful 6 night stay.

Rymlig och praktisk villa i pittoreska Gastouri

Vi hade en härlig vecka i Villa Rossi. Villan var stor och rymlig och i bra skick. Trädgården var välhållen och poolen servades flera gånger under veckan. Köket var välutrustat men ytterligare några bra knivar och skärbrädor hade varit användbart. Läget i pittoreska Gastouri var lugnt men centralt och grannarna vänliga och välkomnande. Flygplatsen med starter och landningar hördes tidiga morgnar och sena kvällar men vi var förberedda på det. Det var gott om små katter, skällande hundar och några höns. Vi hittade några mindre trafikerade löprundor, bland annat på vägen mot Perama. Den blå lokalbussen nr 10 stannar närmast vid Gastouri Philharmonic Orchestra mittemot Taverna To Pouli Tsi Kotas, vilket också var bästa stället att beställa taxibilar till. Vi klarade oss utan bil och beställde matleverans från eJoy-markets i Dassia.

Fabulous pool and amazing grounds which took our breath away!

Villa Rossi is a beautiful house and very big ( a bit too big for the two of us, but we couldn’t resist that pool! There was excellent air con in the bedrooms - very welcome as the temperature was in the mid 30’s. Our only disappointment really was with the kitchen which is very small for the size of the house. It is only minutes to drive to most places we needed to go to, and this is a great area to stay in. Everyone we met was extremely friendly, and we loved the waving and greetings from our elderly neighbours down the road! There are hornets by the pool, but they had no interest in us, and we quickly learned to ignore them. We had a great time,

We spent 1 week in this wonderful villa. Really nice view from the pool, a charming village close to the house, and not far from Corfou city. I recommend this place. Just 1 advice for the owner: it would be interesting to reach the garden directly from the terrace.

Sehr schöne Villa mit Traumpool für sechs Personen (acht möglich)

Angenehme ruhige Lage, ländlich (mit krähendem Hahn nebenan...) Sehr schönes, grosses Anwesen mit 4 Klimaanlagen die gut funktionieren, einer wunderbaren riesigen Veranda im 1. Stock sowie grosser Terrasse mit guter Bepflanzung und traumhaftem beleuchtetem Riesenpool (45 qm. Vorne 80 cm, hinten 1.90 m tief) im Garten. Das ganze Anwesen wird abends automatisch beleuchtet. Zugang über eine etwas schmale, zum Teil etwas steilere Zufahrt, der Mietwagen sollte nicht zu gross sein; unser Fiat Doblo, Sechssitzer, passte aber prima. Im Ort gibt es eine Bäckerei, ein paar Tavernen und verschiedene Geschäfte (Keramik, Olivenholz) und ist in Nähe zu Kaiserin Sissis Achilleion. Die Küchenutensilien sind etwas begrenzt, aber im Urlaub will man vielleicht nicht immer gross aufkochen... Ein paar Kleinigkeiten müssten gerichtet werden, insgesamt aber eine sehr schöne, typisch griechische Villa, in der man den Urlaub geniessen kann. Der Pool ist aussergewöhnlich gross, sehr sauber und die Reinigungsanlage exzellent. Unsere Kinder wollten fast nicht mehr ans Meer.....

Lovely property, fabulous holiday

We loved the Villa! Starting the day on the veranda, with its views of the hills and the coast was perfect. The pool and gardens were fabulous and our boys were happy to spend endless hours swimming or playing cards by the poolside. Being able to go out of the garden gate and be in one of the village tavernas in just a few minutes was great and we made the most of the home-grown vegetables and home-made taramasalata on offer. When we didn't eat in the village, it was less than 10 mins to drive to Benitses. The villa is a great base to see all the island and we enjoyed lots of day trips out and loved wandering the streets in the old part of Corfu Town. The villa is a traditional family home with plenty of space and good facilities - and our experience of booking through Jane and Chris is probably the most friendly and efficient service we've ever had. We've all struggled to get used to UK temperatures on our return home and definitely have half a mind still in Villa Rossi and Corfu!

Great.

A lot of space inside and outside. Very well maintained house. A very steep road to the gate of the house. Our car didn't make it to reach the house with four (two elderly children) people inside the car. Three of us had to walk the last 50 meters! Further on around the swimming pool (although it is really nice) a lot of wasps like the the same spot. The airco in the house works perfect. The beds are good. The veranda is a good place to avoid the hot Greek sun! I can recommend this house.

Would recommend

The villa lived up to its listing and the accommodation was comfortable, the veranda was perfect for breakfast and relaxing throughout the day, as it offered a cool place to sit with lovely views. The villa staff offered an easy booking facility and were on hand for any help or issues during our stay. The pool and gardens were ideal and very welcome on hot days, although not a problem for us, the pool did attract a continual amount of wasps who seemed to use the edges of the pool to cool down. We travelled the island extensively and found the local population to be most welcoming and friendly. We dined at both local restaurants in Gastouri and the food was very good. Would definitely recommend Mezza Volta in Benitses (the first restaurant on the way in to Benitses from Gastouri) and meet Johnny Love who is proud of his multi coloured shoes, the food was very good. You will need a car. Overall would recommend Villa Rossi as an ideal tranquil location to enjoy Corfu.

Beautiful Villa

Very well maintained. Lovely pool. Really need a car not really within walking distance to amenities. There were no condiments supplied so we needed to shop for everything ie salt, pepper etc. It is in the country so be prepared for roosters, owls and stray cats. Would be ideal for a family vacation.

Beautiful Villa in stunning location

Four of us enjoyed a wonderful week at Villa Rossi. The villa was large, well equipped and clean and tidy for us on arrival. The owners were easily contactable and made sure we had all the information we needed for a smooth arrival. The outdoor space is lovely and relaxing and the upstairs terrace a great late afternoon suntrap. The area is very quiet (a car is really needed) but we found a wonderful Taverna (Lefteris) just a two minute walk away (just before the Palace) with wonderful food and a very welcoming owner - we tried some of the other places past the Palace which had great views but the food was poor! Overall we loved our stay at the Villa and would book again!

Great Greek Wedding

Villa Rossi did not disappoint We were a large mixed party that came and went through the 17 days we stayed in the villa. The property quickly became home for us. The area is perfect, walking distance to the number one tourist attraction on Corfu, The Achileon Palace. Great local restaurants within walking distance and a well equipped kitchen and outdoor grill that we put to good use. The villa is large and comfortable We will definitely stay there on our next visit to Corfu. If I had one thing that I could change it would be to add one more ac unit in the upstairs living /dining area. But with some help from the bedroom units it was kept comfortable as we solved puzzle after puzzle late into the night. I can't say too much for Jane. She was easy to talk with and added much to our comfort while being there Great pool, beautiful view of old town and the airport from the veranda. All in all a great place. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!

Such a lovely house set in beautiful surroundings.

We had an amazing time at the villa and on wonderful Corfu. The description of the property didn't really do it justice. Jane from Prestige Villas couldn't have been more helpful. The lady who came to change the bedding mid holiday was so lovely, and didn't put us out in any way. The pool guy, and the gardener were really nice. The gardener was especially helpful, inquiring, if it was ok to cut the grass. He also helped my daughter who had problems with her hire car. I would definitely recommend the villa to family and friends. The only small things we would suggest, would be to reposition the TV, to make it easier for everyone to watch, and perhaps have two large sofas, rather than one large and one smaller. It was a bit of a squeeze when all six of us wanted to watch TV. We had lovely meals out especially at Klimitaria in Benitses. In fact most places we ate, the food was really good. The only disappointment was a meal at Etrusco, which is supposed to be the best restaurant on the island. We went there on the last evening of our holiday to celebrate two birthdays. Despite warning them well in advance that our daughter has Coeliac disease, and that two of our party didn't eat meat, they were repeatedly given food with things in that they couldn't eat. We would definitely recommend a visit to the Achillion Palace,which is within walking distance. Corfu town is lovely to visit and has lots to explore. Also the monastery at Paleocastrictos is lovely, but can be very busy with tourists We would definitely recommend a visit to Panto Krator for absolutely amazing views. Overall we had such a wonderful holiday. Everywhere we went people were so friendly and helpful. Perhaps that's why we all love Corfu so much!

Beautiful,clean,spacious,great location

We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Rossi. Booking with Jane waseasy and informative. We hired a car through Jane's contact and pick up at the airport was excellent, they even helped us put our luggage on the roof rack of the Fiat Doblo.Instructions to the villa were accurate, don't be put off by the last bit as it's a bit hairy,but good fun. Once you see the villa all will be forgotten as it's spacious, clean, well equipped and has a fabulous terrace where we spent most of our time when we weren't by the pool or out and about. We would thoroughly recommend Villa Rossi.

Third visit to this Fantastic villa!

We have just returned from our third visit to Villa Rossi. This villa never fails us. Its location and facilities are excellent. Its ideal for a relaxing family holiday with lovely beaches only 15 minutes away. The owners have very much thought of everything, and the pool and garden area is beautifully maintained. Also within 20 minutes is Corfu town and also Aqua land. This year, we explored Corfu town at greater length and discovered its full of hidden charm with a cosmopolitan feel. The village of Gastorui is extremely picturesque and friendly, with Achillion palace a short 10 minute walk away. We strongly recommend a hire car but found nearly all the places we visited were no more than 20 minutes away. To sum things up we thoroughly recommend Villa Rossi and look to return again one day.
