We found this beautiful apartment online while looking for a place to stay on Corfu Island. We wanted something a little bit off “the beaten path”, away from the main tourist hangouts, large enough for two, fairly close to the coast and with cooking facilities. We were definitely not disappointed – it even exceeded our expectations!

This apartment is both romantic and cosy and a good size for one or two people. One can buy anything one needs in downtown Karousades, which is about a 5 minute walk away. Definitely try the bread from the local bakery! The facilities are good and we cooked for ourselves the entire two and a half weeks we were there. We were there in the off season, but one can tell from the feel of the town that it is not frequented as often by tourists, even during the high season (in contrast to the towns on the coast, such as Sidari). A reason for this may be that Karousades is on a fairly steep hill, which isn’t to be underestimated when planning to go out. There are bus stops nearby, but we never took them and we didn’t find out the schedules. We were here with our bikes, which we only recommend if one is fit, as the northern part of the island is very hilly. It was a good work out though ;). For those wanting to get out of the house often we would recommend having a car. When we had questions about the apartment, the service was always very quick and to our full satisfaction. The view from balcony is absolutely gorgeous and makes up for it being a bit narrow.

All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment and would definitely recommend it to others!
