Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Agios Stefanos Avliotes

We had a wonderful and very comfortable stay at Giannis’ apartment. Giannis is a great host, communicative, helpful and friendly. He was also flexible with our departure time. He arranged everything to make our stay with our toddler unforgettable. The apartment is in a very nice location: 15 min by car from Old Town, in a quiet neighborhood with free parking, from where you can explore Corfu easily by car in all directions. It is 8 min by car from a big supermarket (AB Βasilopoulos) that has plenty of biological products. The apartment itself is spacious, nicely decorated and with 2 balconies with stunning and relaxing views. It has all the necessary equipment for a nice and comfortable stay, also for families with small children. It felt really like home and we did not want to leave :) We definitely recommend Giannis’ apartment!

extremely friendly, clean and welcoming

The peaceful and private location right at the water's edge is unbeatable. You can have breakfast and dinner in the garden, use the sun-loungers and go swimming in crystal clear water. Sotirios gave us a lot of helpful information on sightseeing off the beaten track. Restaurants and supermarkets are within walking distance if you don't have a car. We would love to come back.

I am originally from Corfu but I've been living abroad for most of my life. I contemplated writing this review in Greek, but the reality is that Corfiots already know what a gem of a flat this is. So I am writing this in English to help anyone else who wants to visit. This is the most amazing AirBnB you will find in Corfu old town, period. If you've watched the Durrell tv series and wondered how it would feel to live in that era, but with modern amenities and comfort, look no further. Maria and Francesca's place is the most warm, authentic, well-kept, 200 year old apartment I have ever been to. St. Spiridon, Old and New Fortress, Liston square, Faliraki beach, Yacht Club, Kapodistrias' home, the Sunrise and Sunset are all there for you to enjoy from your countless windows or the one-of-a-kind Belvedere outpost, accessible by an interior staircase. Now, if you happen to spend Greek Easter here, you are in for a treat. You can see the fireworks, marching bands etc. right in front of you!

We enjoyed a lovely week at Sunrise at the beginning of June. The apartment is well equipped with modern features and the air conditioning was particularly effective and allowed us a great nights sleep in the very warm weather. The balcony is superb and offers stunning views across the bay to Corfu Town. The accommodation is well located above Barbati, although the hill can be a little daunting, on foot, after an evening out. Alexandra & her husband are discreetly on hand, if needed - thank you, both!!

This unit is on the top floor of a complex directly on the bay. The morning sun rises over the sailboats moored in the bay. You can see the old fort from the rooftop. And by the way, the whole rooftop is yours. Loungers, table for coffee in the morning. Well decorated with fresh flowers and plants. This is a picturesque setting. Couldn’t have been happier.

The apartment is located in the middle of a three-house, next to the owners and on the other side a larger holiday apartment. It has a bedroom with a double bed and a bedroom with two single beds, a kitchenette and a small bathroom, (no living room), and a beautiful terrace accessible via a bedroom with a large table and loungers on the lawn in front. The house is located directly on the steep slope above the sea with fantastic views and the sound of waves. A short detour of only 5 minutes on foot to the beautiful, uncrowded sandy beach. The owners are extremely nice and have constantly given us gifts of salad and oranges from the garden, food, cookies, etc. Unfortunately, we can't speak Greek, so we mostly use sign language. In 5 minutes on foot there are three restaurants, by car 15 minutes to more touristy places. If you are looking for peace, wonderful views and exceptionally friendly landlords, you are in perfect hands here. THANK YOU!

Perfect location, perfect for a stay in Corfu for two people. The view is a major asset of renting. You can't get tired of it! The accommodation is impeccable, has everything you need. Nikos is a discreet, available and very friendly host. We recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Giannis’ place. It was a fantastic house with plenty of space. The village nearby was only a few minutes away on foot, and had great restaurants and a cafe with delicious pastries. Giannis gave us a lot of local recommendations and was such a welcoming, responsive host. We would definitely recommend Giannis’ house and hope to come back again!

We had a great time in Avgi’s apartment. The unit is very cosy, well equipped, and conveniently located close to the center of Pelekas. The highlight is the deck with a fantastic view towards the Agii Deka mountain. Pelekas is a quiet town with good infrastructure, a really nice bakery close to the apartment, a small supermarket, and a couple of good restaurants. In May, not many tourists were around. We came for hiking and explored all parts of Corfu. For this, Pelekas is a good base station with even the most Northern and Southern areas of Corfu not more than a one hour drive away. The hosts were very attentive throughout our stay. We highly recommend Avgi’s apartment!

We had an amazing holiday at Fanis House. The property is clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The views from the terrace are very special. The location of the house is great, very close to good restaurants and bars. We particularly liked Tango bar which is opposite and La Grotta bar. We also liked Vivaria bar next to Belvedere Restaurant which has a swimming pool. There is a bus stop close to the house with a very efficient and comfortable bus service to Corfu Town. Elena is a fantastic host who went out of her way to ensure we had a great holiday. She was very helpful and booked taxis for us when we needed them. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Corfu and have no hesitation in recommending Fanis House.

Stephani and Nikos place is truly a rare gem. The view is breathtaking and the villa is very pleasant. The kitchen is fully loaded with all necessary items to prepare dinner of all sorts. The streets are very narrow and difficult to maneovur with bigger vehicles so you need to park the car close to the bakery and then walk to the compound. Of course, they have a good parking spot for you reserved!

I wish we could give more than 5 stars! Spyridon is an extremely special host, we had the most incredible time, we feel like we have made a true friend – he is unbelievably generous. The Airbnb is even cooler than it looks in the pictures and the whole area had lots to explore. We will be back!

The Spitaki of Aris was just right for us. A cute little cottage. A little off the beaten path, yet everything was in walking distance. We felt very comfortable. Aris was always available for questions. A super nice host. The weather also played along, so the stay was perfect.

We were there for Easter. Enjoyed the time very much, as Socrates was always only talking to us, otherwise kept in the background. He lives in the immediate neighborhood. Contact always super nice. The location is pleasantly quiet, well away from the larger holiday complexes, so even in summer you probably have a very little visited beach section directly behind the house (phenomenally direct view of the sea/ sunsets), or with us it was only via the small Street directly accessible across its further property. Located directly on CorfuTrail. You should have a rental vehicle to be able to shop and especially eat out. The north offers so much variety to discover. Googles or ask Socrates🙂. You should definitely use the location. Just been wonderful. Very happy to come back! His dog and the cats in the area came to visit us-super lovely animals. See you soon.

This was a great find for us - great value. Can walk to Hyalus coffee shop; even nearby market. Good access to restaurants of Gouvia; beach at Kontokali; Dassia & Ypsos Beaches. We enjoyed the nearby Sweet & Savory coffee & eatery too. Blue bus #7 goes to Corfu Town. We LOVED Greek salad & omelet at Costas Taverna in Agios Ioannis. Ioannis Capodistrias Museum - (their George Washington). Spiros was SUPERHOST !!! House is tasteful and central to a meaningful Corfu experience. Views grand maybe especially orthodox chapel on tiny peninsula in the nearby bay.

Lidovois was super nice in helping me bring my bike and bags into his car on the road for my departure. We also discussed various topics together. Everything was perfect and really relaxing in the apartment. The beach is 5 minutes away and it's superb because it's not too overrun with deckchair rentals. Great. Eric

The apartment is in a top location and decorated in style with the area. We in particular enjoyed sitting on the little balcony, watching live go on in the street below. A street musician passed one evening while the swallows would be visiting us every morning and evening. An excellent stay in a beautiful town.

Great value for money, everything can be reached on foot from the airport to the city center. Kostas is very nice and flexible, happy to come back.

Quiet flat even tho in the heart of old town, especially convenient, clean and has atmosphere, with lovely art work, Zoe was around/available if had any questions, and I had a beautiful 3 days in Corfu in part due to having the space.

Myrto was very helpful, accommodating a very late check in. She responded quickly to any questions we had and went out of her way to help. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and within easy walling distance of the old town of Corfu. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying at Myrto’s place.

Location, location, location is just fantastic. if you like to see beautiful sea straight from your balcony this is a place for you. The view is to die for! I would highly recommend. Apartment is very clean and perfect for a couple. We spent a lot of time enjoying balcony as well. Bed mattress is firm.

Ioanna has a great apartment here! The location on the edge of the old town in the second row on Saroko Square is ideal for a tour in the evening, shopping in the morning for breakfast on the beautiful balcony, etc. The beds are comfortable with many different blankets and pillows, the kitchen is well equipped, hot water works perfectly. There are, apart from the guarded parking lots, also from time to time a free one in the neighborhood, we were there at the end of May and always found one. The buses depart from the square. Absolute recommendation for Corfu Town!

What can I say? Very few places have both quality and quantity yet this place has both! The redesign's attention to detail is spot on. The hosts were very responsive and helpful with our needs. This unit is better than what the photos show as there is a table with chairs in the dining room as well as on the balcony. This was the most comfortable sofa I've ever had on a rental and I've had many on our full time slow travel across the world. The grocery is very close and at the time of our stay, they were about to open another one even closer. The secondary bedroom beds are also one of the most comfortable we've ever slept on. This is the benchmark of what a 5 star should be.
