This villa is absolutely gorgeous. It totally lived up to expectation. Due to Covid 19 we had to book at the last minute, Monday to travel Friday. Janine was wonderful. She was straight on the phone helping me with the extra paperwork that Greece required, offering guidance on the weather and temperature and offered loads of information about the house and the locality once we arrived.
We were offered a complimentary dinner, on arrival, for our party. We were sent an wonderful choice of dishes. Even at such short notice the meal was cooked and left in the fridge, along with dessert and wine. We have stayed in many beautiful villas around the world, but never have we been welcomed with our first nights meal. This is such a wonderful extra and it was both delicious and greatly appreciated.
The villa is really beautiful, wonderfully maintained and immaculate. Janine has made so much effort with the notes she leaves. She has thought of everything!
We went to places and Tavernas that were recommended. All were excellent.
In spite of the situation all the Tavernas in the many stunning coves were open. Every meal was truly delicious, with excellent service.
Janine checked in with us, by text, every few days to ensure we were happy, offer suggestions and help.
I told her we were using the fireplaces as it was chilly at night. Having drinks by the outdoor fireplace was a real highlight of our evenings. With-in 24 hours of me telling her this, extra wood was delivered to ensure we did not run out.
The views are breathtaking. We enjoyed using all the different sitting spots.
The kitchen was well equipped. We cooked every night and never found we were missing the implements or utensils we needed.
The outdoor kitchen is equally well stocked, another real bonus.
We were travelling with a 7 month old baby. A cot was no problem and two highchairs were in situ, one in the house and one in the outdoor kitchen, another very thoughtful plus.
Corfu was not a place we had ever considered going to. What made us decide to chose Corfu, out of our few options, was this property. Having spent two weeks in the middle of October at Annalena, I would highly recommend this property and Corfu. With Janine, you are totally in caring hands!
