Welcome to our beautiful Villa Plaka, the house on the rocks! With fantastic panoramic views of the Ionian Sea and its offshore islands near the small mountain village of Afionas on the island of Corfu! The space This is one of a total of two bookable apartments in our house. The apartment presented here on the upper floor of the house is the larger of the two at 130 square meters and sleeps a maximum of five people. The smaller apartment with direct access to the garden can accommodate a maximum of three people. Depending on the available data, it is of course possible to reserve both apartments if you need sleeping accommodations for up to eight people. However, the two reservations must be made separately. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have. The upper apartment presented here extends over two floors and is 130 square meters, in addition, the area of the two terraces is about 70 square meters. In addition, you can also use the 3500 sqm property. This is very diverse due to its sloping location: at the level of the house there are lush gardens and beautiful plants and a wide view over the sea – while there is direct access to the sea below. It's rocky and a little rough here. On a small platform right by the sea, you can experience this completely different charm. In good weather, experienced and confident swimmers can climb directly into the sea here. And afterwards you can rinse off under the outdoor shower. The apartment is: On the first floor is a spacious living/dining/cooking area, as well as an adjoining guest toilet. The large, open, fully equipped kitchen with five-burner gas stovetop, kitchen island, large fridge (with three freezer compartments) leads into the large living area, which in addition to an olive wood dining table, stereo system and a TV has many cozy seating areas and access to the first of the two terraces. With its western orientation, it offers a fantastic view of the sea. Here you can marvel at wonderful sunsets every evening. The spacious terrace has an outdoor sofa, cozy shady spots, sun loungers and a large dining table. A few steps lead to the second floor of the apartment: here you will find two large bedrooms and a bathroom with a walk-in, modern shower. Both bedrooms lead to the second terrace. This is located above the first terrace presented and accordingly has an equally magnificent view that can be enjoyed from the sun loungers, for example. The two bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning, comfortable beds and mosquito nets. All windows and doors also have fly screens – so you can provide some (mosquito-free) ventilation. Other things to note The Corfiot roads are generally in fairly good condition – nevertheless, we recommend a 4-wheel-drive vehicle... – especially for the final stretch of the access road to our property. This section is not tarmacked and can be difficult to drive along, especially in bad weather, as it is very steep. During periods like these, it may be necessary or advisable to park the car up in the village, even if this means a bit of a walk on steep terrain. To cope with these challenging conditions, especially in bad weather, we recommend an off-road vehicle with four-wheel drive or a driver with good driving skills. Once you arrive, you will, of course, find your own parking spaces in front of the entrance door. Villa Plaka is both sustainable and self-sufficient: hot water and electricity are generated by the sun on its own roof. There is no additional charge for cleaning: it is already included in the price. However, as landlords, we have been required to pay a sustainability levy of €15 per night per apartment (NOT per person) to the Greek government since 1 January 2024. The tax serves the preservation of the visitable environment and the protection of nature. These fees are based on your length of stay and must be deposited by you in cash on site. After booking, we will send you more detailed information. In summary, it can be said that almost every comfort is provided here; from all rooms, you have a fantastic, unobstructed view of the sea, and you can look forward to a wonderful sundowner atmosphere! As a family, we have put a lot of love into the house, and it is very important to us to welcome to Villa Plaka people who can enjoy and appreciate the property's special character and atmosphere, as well as its fantastic secluded location, and for whom peace and quiet and closeness to nature mean a lot. We warmly welcome you here, look forward to your booking, and are happy to answer any questions you may have. Registration details 0829k10000444701
