Villa Waves, Perama

Just returned from Villa Waves after 2 fantastic weeks with my wife, 3 children plus one partner. The villa is beautifully furnished and easily accommodated the 6 of us. It's clear to see that the owners have kitted the villa out to their own high standard. There is just about all you need here from a fully fitted kitchen (including dishwasher) to good quality wifi, 2 kayaks, lilo's, snorkeling and wet shoes etc. Location wise it is a 5 minute drive from Benitses where we found the restaurants to be of a good standard (albeit that walking past them is rather like running the gauntlet as each one has people desperately trying to usher you in). Corfu old town is a 15 minute drive and is a really pretty town with a huge selection of bars and restaurants - some of a standard that would not be out of place in London! Truly magnificent sea views, we loved waking up to the sound of the waves literally directly below us - watching the sunrise is a must and if you happen to be there during a full moon this is also a spectacular sight over the beautiful calm waters. The rooftop terrace is fantastic, we spent many hours there taking in the views and the sun. At night the blue lights give it a surreal and relaxing feel - ideal for a nightcap!! The beach is shingle/rock but no problem once you get in the habit of pulling on the wet shoes before climbing down the ladder, and the sea is as clear as you will see anywhere in the world. We used the kayaks to row to the next bay (10 mins casual rowing towards Benitses) where there is a lovely bar/ restaurant. I would recommend hiring a boat for the day - we hired from the next bay (where the bar is) paid Euro 120 for 8 hours for the 6 of us. We had to pay fuel on top, about Euro 30 so all in all very reasonable - head towards the south of the island to the fishing village - best fresh fish we had. Also had great fun hiring quad bikes and exploring the island - hired from Benitses front, farthest end of row of restaurants/ shops. We paid Euro 50 per bike per day plus fuel - well worth doing although take care on the roads! I would definitely recommend this villa, it is clean, spacious, fully furnished with best sea views imaginable. Thank you Hugh for being so helpful & for a great holiday. Mark, Nat & family

I'm scared to write how stunning this place was because it will get fully booked and I might not get my slot I want next time.

We had a lovely stay at Villa Waves. When we were there we needed to ask Hugh a couple of questions, we texted him several times and he was very patient and responded immediately and was very helpful. The villa was exactly as described and the addition of the kayaks was an added bonus, our children loved them. We had several meals at Tassos restaurant just along the road towards Benitses. The food was always excellent and the owner was a really nice guy, we found this with all the locals. We would fully recommend Villa Waves which we already have to friends.
