Drosato Manor is a beautiful 17th Century Manor House restored to the highest standards. Ideally situated to explore this beautiful island. A short distance from many of the stunning beaches and towns. This large 4 bedroom house with private pool has stunning views across the countryside, and down to the coast. We have made every effort to provide you with 'home from home comforts' in this peaceful, unspoilt hillside village. Corfu traditional design is combined with contemporary fittings - everything you need to enjoy a perfect, relaxing holiday in Corfu is here!

Andrew purchased this villa in 2005
We fell in love with the beauty of the island and the warmth and generosity of the local people. We happened upon the village of Drosato and were mesmerised by its idyllic location, spectacular views and the rustic charm of this truly authentic Geek Village. We have completely renovated the house, which we believe dates back to the 17th century. Throughout the whole project we have been very careful to be sympathetic towards the house and tried to maintain as many of the original features as possible, using locally sourced materials to maintain as much character and charm as possible.
The house is ideally located for exploring the island and is conveniently located close to what we believe are some of the most beautiful resorts on the island. The village itself is so peaceful that you can not help but to relax and unwind and enjoy the beauty of the island from any one of the four terraces or balconies.
Our stay in Drosanto exceeded expectations. Charming location. The house is large, very clean and comfortable, with exquisite views. Located in a tiny Greek village untouched by globalization. The owner and their agent were extremely helpful. Beautiful pool. Very close to local services (including a Greek bread baker right around the corner where we could get fresh loaves each morning). But also rural with walks through olive groves right out the door. Not too far from sea and beaches, as well as ancient villages and castles. We loved everything about our stay. (Kids and adults alike).
We stayed in this house a week i august 2015 and we are really very satisfied and happy for the stay. We didn't want to go home. The house is very good. Everything was perfect: the bedrooms, the bathrooms (one to every bedroom), the kitchen (very well equipped), the pool (Clean and nice, worked very good for both adults and small children), the village (very nice not to live in a tourist area but in an ordinary greek village), the surroundings (all wonderful beaches, the best up in the north, Almyros). Do not hesitate! Rent this house! It is better than the impression from the website (which is not so common).
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Drosato. La maison à tout le confort nécessaire. Nous avons obtenu une réponse des que nous avions une question au sujet de la maison.
La piscine est très agréable.
Drosato est calme mais très central, ce qui nous a permis de découvrir toute la côte nord d'ouest en est. Les plages y sont très belles.
