Excellent location, we love this area of Corfu. Everyone is always so friendly. Beaches are always clean and the Tavernas we tried all served fantastic food. We always leave Corfu looking forward to when we will return again.
Really nice stay, the sea view from the pool is really stunning, that is what makes the place beautiful. House close to good restaurants and beaches.
It was a really comfortable and relaxing stay in a spotlessly clean and spacious villa. The pool is big enough and very well maintained. The hosts are very friendly and nice people we felt really welcome and homely. The villa Persephone has a magnificent panoramic view and is near to great beaches (Nissaki Beach and Paralia Nisaki) in 10-15 min driving distance to un-spoilt beautiful landscapes and rustic villages in all directions. The islands western coast is our absolutely favorite region of Corfu and still a secret escape for all lovers of authentic quiet holidays away from touristic crowds. We can sincerely recommend this villa for staying here.
We had the most amazing time in this villa! The villa and surroundings are exactly as seen in the photos and even exceeded the high expectations we had going into our holiday. Perfect location even perfect sea views! The property felt very secluded and quiet. The property was also well maintained and clean. The nearest beach, which is very close, is absolutely beautiful and was perfect for long walks, swimming, and snorkeling. The villa itself has a grand feel while still being very comfortable. It had everything you would need and more. The kitchen was fully equipped and we used the barbecue most of the time. As we went out and explored the island and beaches almost every day, the location was perfect as it put us in close proximity to everything. The agents and staff of Agni were very nice and helpful and helped us with everything during the whole process. If youd like to enjoy some peace and quiet with warm sun and beautiful waters, this is the place to go! We are already planning our next trip to Corfu and would definitely recommend Villa Persephone!
The villa is lovely; its spotless, modern, and roomy, with everything youll need for a pleasant vacation. The sunset and sea views are breathtaking. The pool is the ideal size for relaxing and taking in sun and scenery. We couldnt have asked for a higher level of service. From the booking through the end of our vacation, everything went flawlessly. I would highly recommend this property, and I would most certainly return again.
What a fab time, we had a perfect villa and even more perfect views. The villa had absolutely everything we needed and was very clean. Likewise, the outside areas were well maintained and the pool very clean. The sea views from the terrace and from the pool area were amazing, we also liked the cool sea breeze while having dinner at the terrace. We also had our meals at local tavernas in Kalami and Nissaki, we would recommend you pop in there and taste the most delicious local specialties. Lastly, thank you Agni Travel for organizing a perfect holiday. We cannot thank you enough, everything went to plan. No problems with the villa or pool, everything was excellent. Could not fault Agni Travel at all, everything went smoothly and we appreciated the text message keeping in contact even though we did not need to call
A million dollar/euro view from the infinity pool. Nice patio with shade. Second terras just below the pool overlooking the baya€¦ Nice clean house and functional kitchen with decent sized fridge and compartment for ice. And, you know, you can catch two birds with one stone: the owners of the house have one of the best beach restaurants ( Taverna Agni, Agni beach, a 10 mon drive) in the area (and we tried many!) Already thinking of going back.
The pool and views are absolutely world class, truly beautiful. Inside the property is faultlessly clean and well maintained while not being luxurious, however it is all about the outside space here. We stayed last week of the season so the area was very quiet but there were still three great restaurants open, all a very pleasant and gentle fifteen minute stroll from the property. One small even better if, some comfortable outside furniture (garden arm chairs and/or small couch) would make the evenings even better. Obviously the sun loungers arent really suitable for socializing in evening and the garden dining table and chairs arent quite as relaxing a way to enjoy the beautifully lit pool and views in the evening as they could be. We never made it to the local beach on foot, although we did start off. We are a not unfit couple in our mid-fifties but it started to appear as though the walk back would not be much fun so we turned back! However, if its the pictures of the pool and views on the listing that are getting your attention you will not be at all disappointed, in fact we would say the reality is even better than the pictures. We would highly recommend this property.
Very nice house, in a quiet place, with a super see view. The house is well equipped, with a lot of space for the family (terrasse, rooms,...). We enjoyed a lot our stay at Persephone. Service (cleaning, contact with property managers, etc. was also good). Laurent
My wife and I went to Villa Persephone for a quiet get away. We certainly achieved that. The villa was lovely and the outside pool area fabulous, and, even if the water was a little cool it certainly didna€™t stop us going in most days. Must go back in August when I am sure it will be warmer. The supermarket and Tavernas were well within a comfortable walking distance and Supermarket Aphroditea€™s pastries each morning were worth the walk. I can also recommend Taverna Vitamins for its warm and friendly atmosphere. A week well spent in Corfu.
Lovely! Wonderful!
We have had a wonderful time at Persephone. Thank you to the Agni team.
100% expectations fulfilled + perfect organisation of booking and preparation of holiday by agnitravel
The location, the pool and view are fantastic!!!
Excellent, very private. The only slight problem was that it was difficult to park on the designated parking area due to the slope and on a blind bend in the road.
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and the best feature of the property is, without doubt, the beautiful infinity pool and stunning view.
We had a great holiday returning to Nissaki for second week of our holiday, back to favourite beaches, tavernas and friendly people. Villa Persephone was fine and cosy inside, and lovely outside, pool with views being its major asset where we spent most of our time. In a convenient location with car. Seemed possible but more limited for walking due to main road.
Very good, beautiful villa, great views, great pool. Our daughter and grand-daughters loved it. Thanks, Chris and Sheila
Small but peacefully located villa, everything needed is here. Amazing views from terrace. Would definitely return to Corfu again.
Excellent!
Wonderful location with fantastic views. Property in excellent condition. Clean both inside and out. All the amenities required in place. Useful having maid service. Excellent directions from the airport. Great space for 2 people. Would definitely return.
We have had an amazing 4 days, the weather was perfect for the beginning of April! The villa was as described on the website but turned out to be far better than expected! We made good use of the pool and bbq. Aphroditea€™s supermarket is within walking distance and she happily delivered our food which was a real bonus. She offered to provide fresh meat and fish from the local butchers and there was always plenty of mythos!! There is a fully equipt kitchen with all utensils/ bowls: dishes you could want/ need! We stayed over the Easter break, and had asked Agni travel if the villa was suitable to 2 children aged 4 and 7 and it definarely is! On arrival we were greated with Easter decorations and 2 Easter eggs which were really appreciated by the boys!! One last thing to say is the views! They are stunning which ever way you look from the pool area.. I would recommend this villa to anyone who wants to visit Corfu and we will definitely be coming back!
Perspehone is an excellent little villa. We travelled in earlymid September with our 2.5 year old and had a magical time. Nights were cool although still about 20 and days were in the upper 20s early 30s. The villa is right on the main road that runs up the north east of the island but this being Corfu is not a large road and you hardly notice it from the house. The access is steep and its just before a bend in the road I chose to reverse in so it was easier to get out was a bit of an adventure the first time but once you got the hang of it easy as pie. You park your car on the hill and there are a number of steps down so if you have any mobility issues this should be noted (this part of Corfu is very steep in general so almost all the villas are accessed with some kind of hill or steps). The Service from Agni Travel was excellent including a text service which meant that a couple of tiny things (new lightbulb and some extra towels) were sorted within minutes even on a Sunday when we arrived. The directions we were sent were very easy to follow too. The villa itself was very clean and well maintained with a shaded terrace (be careful of mosquitos you cant really avoid them at certain times of the day but all in all you can work around them take some DEET and invest in some spirals or citronella candles) which was great for breakfast and lunch looking out over the bay towards Corfu town you can watch the cruise ships coming in and the day boats coming up the coast to explore the little bays and coves. The pool area is completely private (there are a couple of apartments just behind who could see the edge of the pool if they were on tiptoes but we didn't see anyone in there when we were there) and has a brilliant view. We opted for this villa because of the small child's pool. Please note this does slope off very quickly but where it meets the main pool it was only up to our toddlers chest and with crocs on he was really happy to have his own pool and got in and out no trouble with us sat on the side to keep an eye on things. It was shaded in the morning and in full sun in the afternoon so depending on the day we either stayed and played in the morning or went to the beach. The villa is owned by the people that own the Agni Taverna in Agni Bay Eleni is very friendly and speaks impeccable English although we only really saw her at the Taverna or when she came to fix the Wifi after an electrical storm (although who needs wifi when you have views like this and a pool)) The whole of North Eastern Corfu is fabulous lots of little coves mainly pebbly so bring some beach shoes but if you head to Apraos (about 35 mins drive) there's a huge sandy beach with water that doesn't get beyond knee deep for about 50 metres into the sea perfect for youngsters to play in safety. There's a bit of noise in the evenings from the hotel down the coast but it stopped pretty early and was quite nice to hear a bit of life happening around us) Inside the villa the furniture is decent everything is very clean and well maintained. The fridge worked really well (we had a duff one in our place the year before) and there's a washing machine and dishwasher although we didn't use either. All in all its an excellent place. The Aphrodite Supermarket is just down the road and the same family own the bakery next door (very good bread croissants and coffee) and the pizza place next door to that (great wood fired pizza and really friendly). Vitamins Taverna is excellent value and very friendly also on the same road and we also spent some lovely days at Agni beach swimming and watching the boats and eating in the Agni Taverna. Further afield Eucalyptus in Agios Stephanos served excellent food in wonderful surroundings.
We loved it. We would certainly book with Agni travel again. The car hire people were lovely and very helpful. We couldn't praise their service enough. Aphrodite supermarket were friendly and helpful. The villa was spotlessly clean and the change of linen and towels was much appreciated. Pool was great as was the service. We shall be recommending Agni villas to everyone who asks us
Fantastic a truly stunning villa with outstanding views. The pool for a villa of this size is exceptional and the infinity edge provided a great view whilst taking a cooling swim. The location on the main north east route make this villa a great base for exploring this charming corner of the island and its only a twenty five minute drive into Corfu town if you fancy some night time action. However some days we didn't drive at all and made use of the tavernas and brilliant local beaches at Kaminaki and Nissaki.
A gorgeous villa on a wonderful island. We whiled away many hours watching all the boats passing by below us - the infinity pool was wonderful. The three bar/tavernas in Nisaki served delicious food just a 5-10 min walk away. Consequently we all had a very relaxing holiday
Wonderful villa beautiful pool totally private. Cleaning standard excellent.
Awesome I really appreciate the good communication through emails. All my questions were addressed quickly. Hope to see you soon
Excellent relaxing holiday - weather a bit hot but not complaining as it was sunny every day!
Another lovely holiday on the lovely island of Corfu!
We enjoyed our stay and will definitely look to Agni Travel as a source for accommodation for visits to other Greek Islands. We experienced a few minor teething problems at the outset such as a lose tap and the heating hot water. But all of these were attended to promptly. The local support we received was good as was the car hire service
Very satisfied. All very smooth indeed. Aphrodite supermarket service excellent. Thank you so much.
We had a fantastic time at Persephone - not only a great villa but also a great place to holiday in just the right spot in Corfu.The four of us (we have 2 teenage kids) hired a car via Eos and simply picked it up (and dropped it off) at the airport and off we toodled and were at the villa by 2.00pm and in the pool by 2.01 absorbing the stunning views from it across the bay to Corfu town...The views by road and the scenery are jaw dropping but not nearly as spectacular as by the small boat we hired for the day for 70 Euros from Kaminaki beach... (No license required just a bit of courage ) Trips to Kassiopi are a must as are the ferry excursions to Corfu town - the evening one being the one we plumped for. Not quite enough time for horse riding or scuba diving but plenty for snorkeling water park and restaurants at Agni bay and Stephanos.
Overall very enjoyable
It really was the most relaxing and beautiful holiday that my wife and I have ever had (and we have had many). I would like to thank all at Agni Travel for making our stay so very special. We are desperate to return next year to Persephone or Nissaki area and will definitely use Agni Travel in future.Thanks once again.
A lovely villa with spectacular views. Would happily return.
The villa was absolutely delightful and the pool and view were spectacular. We had the most relaxing holiday there that we have had in years. It was a much needed break and it exceeded our expectations.
The position of the villa was fabulous with great sea views you could look at all day. We took the Agni Taverna map and walked on the footpaths/roads all the way to Kassiopi which was a lovely walk. We had coffee in Agni bay lunch in Ag Stephanos and afternoon tea in Kassiopi. We then caught the 1730 bus back to the villa. Might be interested in Crete next time we want a villa.RegardsTony
The first two days were rainy but the other five days were great. We loved the pool and the view the most.We could not stop taking pictures of them. Also at night the pool and the surroundings look amazing. The owners were nice, we hardly saw them. The house and pool were cleaned fine and the cleaning people were very friendly. Nisaki is a nice town to go for a walk or an exploration to some exotic or hidden beaches.
Excellent Villa in an outstanding location. The Villa is two bedroom and very comfortable, it takes a little while to get used to the hot water system but once up and running all is well. The villa has plenty of storage space, is clean and the twice weekly cleaner was prompt and did a great job. The toilets can be used as normal re toilet tissue but nothing else to be disregarded down the pan. The local area has a petrol station, supermarkets and tavernas. The infinity pool is pretty secluded. With two alfresco dining locations within the villa grounds I would highly recommend this villa. The villa is safe for children but be warned if you have children under the age of six the pool gets quite deep very quickly. Parking on site for one vehicle and a few steps to the villa front door.
As usual we had a very happy time in Kaminaki and we will return. We love Villa Thalassa in May.
This is our chill out holiday and for the second year running we didnt want to leave. Had a great holiday.
We had a marvellous week at Persephone in mid-June 2013. Weve stayed in several properties in the Nissaki area over the past 8 years and whilst they have all been very good we would now put Persephone at the top of our list of fave properties. Previous reviews have summed it up well what with the splendid views over to Corfu Town etc the villa layout and its proximity to local facilities. The pool provided us with many hours of fun and it was great to watch the swallows zooming down for a drink. Other attractions were star-gazing from the lower patio and listening to Scops owls in the evening very relaxing. Furthermore the villas position right next to the bus stop meant that getting up to Kouloura Kalami or Kassiopi by bus was nice and easy when we could tear ourselves away from Persephone for an afternoon.A special mention goes to Di and Tony they provided not only an excellent cleaning service but they also resolved a problem with the safe deposit box without which wed have had to carry all our valuables around with us. The Eos Travel/Agni Travel people were also very helpful whenever we had some questions for them.
