Dear All
I am writing this in my head as I swim in the pool at Villa Loukia whilst on our 2 week summer holiday. Someone put a thought in my head the other day ñ what are Villa Loukiaís 3 unique selling points (afterall one would assume that all the luxury villas on NE Corfu must have great sea views!)
I couldnít come up with 3 ñ it has to be 4 and in no particular order:
- Villa Loukia has been constructed with minimal damage to its surrounding area. It nestles in its own acre of olive grove which in turn nestles into the olive clad hillside. As you swim in the pool you really feel a part of the natural grove around you to one end and at the other end you look across the sea to Albania. The olive trees also create welcome natural dappled shade to one side of the pool.
- Villa Loukia is in walking distance (a 10 - 15 minute stroll) of Kassiopi. Although you canít see Kassiopi from the villa and the villa sits alone in a secluded and peaceful position on the hillside, Kassiopi is in fact just over the hill. After a day in the sun it is lovely to walk down to Kassiopi to find a Taverna in which to spend the evening. This is VERY rare on Corfu and I know from past experience that I have always had to drive at night in search of a Taverna.
- The pool is LARGE ñ 10m x 5m and is actually big enough to swim in. Many villa pools are little more than splash pools
- And finally but very importantly, Villa Loukia is owned by an English family with years of experience of renting villas. We know firsthand how frustrating it is to rent a villa at vast expense in a beautiful location only to arrive and find that the kitchen is not well equipped and virtually impossible to actually cook in or that there are tiles hanging of the shower room walls! We have therefore given priority to the details so that hopefully you have everything you could possibly need to have an enjoyable holiday.
Donít just take my word for it ñ have a look at the pictures of our guest book and some of the emails that have been sent to me when our guests return home.
Donít forget ñ Price changes do not take effect until 31st October ñ so book before then to reserve summer 2010 at 2009 prices!
Best wishes
Lucy
