Wonderful week. Villa was everything I'd hoped for: as lovely as it looked in the photos and very well equipped right down to quality handwash in the bathrooms and bottles of water in the fridge awaiting us on arrival. Without doubt the best equipped and well laid-out villa we've ever stayed in - everything looked new and spotlessly clean and everything worked (not always the case in rented accommodation abroad or indeed in the UK). Owner extremely helpful before we went answering lots of questions - booking was easy and it was good to know that there was an agent in Corfu we could have contacted if need be (there was no need in the event). Lovely pool and lots of places to sit to get views/sun/shade at various times of the day. There were six of us, age range 18yrs to 60yrs and the situation was perfect as the four members of the party who were under 25 were able to walk into Kassiopi whenever they felt like it without having to drive or be driven (bit of a hike back up the hill but not too bad and you can always jump straight into the pool to cool down once you get back to the villa!) We booked two small hire cars through the villa owner's agent in Corfu before we went out and that all worked well: they were waiting for us at the airport as arranged. Nearby Nikos supermarket was great as was another we found at Sinies - such friendly and helpful owners. Nikos can provide food ready prepared for bbqs and he is open just about all the time it seemed! Recommend Harrys Taverna a few miles on the road north out of Kassiopi - very reasonable, masses of food and nice owner who gave us a free course of fresh fruit plus a local liquer at the end of the meal. We loved our drive up into the hills to Old Perithia - there are several tavernas here and it gives you a taste of "old Greece", road wasn't too scarey. We hired a boat for a day at Avlaki beach - good for exploring little beaches unreachable by car. Another time hired a pedalo at Kerasia. Evening boat trip from Kassiopi to Corfu was fun although the boat was pretty uncomfortable and quite expensive. However, worth it to be able to explore Corfu town and not have to drive all the way there or have to find parking. Nice sandy beach was Ag. Spiridonas, north of Kassiopi, good waves for bodyboarding on a windy day. Wish we could have had another week to do more exploring especially inland - would love to return to Villa Loukia one day. It is very special.

We completely fell in love with the villa. I sometimes sat out on the balcony late at night listening to Skops owl and looking at the stars and thinking it was the most idyllic place imaginable. The views really are spectacular, at any time of day. 

The owners have been so clever with all they have done. The layout is just ideal - the barbecue area was popular with everyone and the tiny balcony outside the master bedroom was popular with the teenagers, who liked to go up and grab the last of the sunshine, lying next to each other like sardines! The sun loungers are incredibly comfy and the pool was blissfully large and was always full of people. Being able to walk to and from Kassiopi was SUCH a boon (and so rare - ideal for teenagers). Everything the owners said about the villa was true, and the info in there was just so helpful re tavernas etc. Beforehand we had some correspondence about car hire and so on, and Lucy was fantastically efficient about responding to every query with the utmost speed. 
There is masses of space in the house, meaning that everybody can find a peaceful spot. The kitchen is brilliantly equipped, and the eating area works really well. If anything, the villa was even more wonderful than it looked on the website. 

We recommend the villa wholeheartedly, although rather reluctantly as we are nervous about too many people discovering how special it is!. We all absolutely LOVED it.
