Relaxing
To start with Shay and Stephen are very good on all details before travelling, down to, not just written instructions but also in pictures, and sent us all info on villa, so all prepared. Stephen met us on arrival and very easy to get key. Villa clean and very well equipped, comfy bed. Pool area good with comfy cushions for loungers. Very private. Def need a car, village only 10 mins walk but there a tiny shop and nothing else, we hired a car from value plus car rentals, they were very good. Only thing that we did not like were dogs in the distance barking, and in the night, but that not shay and stephens fault. Would def recommend this villa.

Lovely villa, peaceful and secluded
A lovely two weeks spent at Villa Oleander. The location is very peaceful and off the beaten track and a perfect central location for exploring the island. As mentioned in the villa information a car is a definitely a necessity. The villa was clean, tidy and well equipped and maintained discreetly throughout our stay. Stephen and Shay were the perfect hosts, they completely respected our privacy but were always available if we needed them or had any questions. Before our arrival Shay was very responsive to emails and the information they provided was very extensive and extremely beneficial to our stay. We would definitely recommend hiring a boat to explore the coastline. Spiros boat hire in Barbati was a great recommendation in the villa information guide. We would not hesitate to book this villa again so if you’re considering a booking you will not be disappointed. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Fantastic villa and pool, perfect area to see Corfu!
Firstly the hosts Shay and Stephen have done a wonderful job here, the instructions on directions and within the villa were easy to follow. They greeted us on arrival and were so welcoming! The villa has everything you can ask for including ALL kitchen utensils which is my bug bear! The villa was spotless as was the pool and patio area. As its south facing the pool was so warm and inviting and I agree with previous reviews, the photos don't do this beautiful villa justice! Perfect location to travel around especially to the west and south coast, Pelekas was lovely with some fabulous restaurants and great beach which we didn't visit until later in our week silly billy! We will know better next time - we never go to the same place twice but we are already looking at dates for next year...our children are already looking forward to it! Thank you Shay and Stephen for a wonderful and relaxing holiday xx

The perfect place to relax and unwind. The pictures don't do Oleander justice.
Perfect! Charming rural location, but 5mins away from main road and easy access to anywhere on the island. Really has everything you need, with lovely, helpful, friendly, accessible hosts who understand how to be available and engaging, but respect guests privacy. We will certainly be returning to Villa Oleander. Thank you for a fantastic, relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable stress free holiday.

Fantastic holiday in Corfu
Oleander Villa is just an amazing place to spend holiday in Corfu. The villa is located in a small village, Afra, in the countryside, in a very quiet place. You are only surrounded by some other villas (among them, Shay and Stephen's) and some farms. You may come across some sheeps and goats when driving to town. Afra is ideally located in the middle of the Island. It is just 8 km (20 min) from Corfou old town, 12 km from Glyfada beach (one of the best beach of the island if you love sand), 32 km from the "deep south" and Issos Beach, 35 km (1 hour) from the North west, Sidari and the famous "canal d'amour', so you can tour and discover the whole island from Afra. The villa and its garden (we loved the small oliver trees and laurel) is really great and the swimming pool is just a must-have in the summer. Shay and Stephen are great hosts and will always try to answer yours requests. We needed some towels for the beach and french TV and we have both "in a minute". They lived just across the road so it is reassuring but they are also very respectful of your intimacy. We will love to spend some other holiday at Villa Oleander and meet Shay and Stephen again.

About the host

Hosted by Shay

Host profile image
Shay: I used to work for a Travel company in Corfu in 1987 & 88. I then work on various Greek islands, Madeira, Turkey, Portugal, Mexico and the USA. I was lucky enough to travel the world with my job being based overseas, live in quite a few different countries and experience their culture. I also worked as Cabin Crew doing a mixture of long and short haul flying. I worked for British Airways on their worldwide fleet. Again I was lucky enough to travel the world and stay in some fascinating countries and fabulous hotels. I learnt a lot working in the travel industry and have implemented all the important aspects and attention to details into the comfort and making of the villa. Although I have extensive travel experiences and visit many countries and continents, my heart always remained in Corfu!
