We had seen all the photos ... but to be there in person, at last, was just magic. We had booked this for 2020 but Covid spoilt our plans. Mark, the owner, was very kind in rolling the booking forward - twice!! Betty was there to greet us and to familiarize us with the property and surrounding area. The locals in Doukades village were so friendly and helpful and the local tavernas offer excellent food. It was great to return to the villa in the afternoon to enjoy the peace and pool .. and gentle cooling winds. This was a great find.

Just returned from a 14 night stay with my husband, daughter and son-in-law. The villa is stunning, comfortable and very well equipped with stunning views. It was so quiet and peaceful it was the perfect getaway from the mayhem in the UK at the moment. I have some mobility issues so the ground floor bedroom with wet room was ideal for me and the steps in the corner of the pool even made that accessible. The village of Doukades is lovely with 3 good tavernas and a friendly shop. The villa manager Betty is a delight and a mine of information. Hopefully we will be back.

We stayed at Villa Michael for the second time in April this year. We couldn’t wait to return to this beautiful villa with its stunning views. It is modern, spacious and built and equipped to a high standard. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, all with amazing views and one bedroom downstairs. Booking is very straight forward with good communication from the owner Mark. We love to visit the local store which sells fresh bread. There are 3 restaurants in the small village of Doukades which are all good. We had a car so we drove to nearby Paleokastritsa where there are many restaurants. We also visited the nearby donkey sanctuary which is worth a visit. This villa is highly recommended and we certainly will return again.

Une superbe villa. Un village charmant avec toutes les commodités pour un quotidien tranquille.Betty remarquable de gentillesse et de disponibilités. Un pays merveilleux. Que demander de mieux?

We couldn’t ask for more! Villa Michael truly exceeds all expectations! The villa itself is stunning and finished to the highest of standards, while the view is something to behold - I hope it will be a view I can appreciate every year on our return! It’s location is ideal, a stones throw from the cutest little village with the most delicious local food yet only a half hour drive from Corfu old town with shops and markets and sightseeing. I would highly recommend a day renting a boat from Thomas at Acapulco Bar, such an amazing day on the clearest seas I’ve ever seen! Villa Michael is a little spice of luxury in the most idyllic of settings, we can’t wait to come back. I hope Rosie and her kitten Kiki will be here next year too!

We stayed here as a family of 7 adults at the beginning of June as it was highly recommended by our daughter who had stayed here in May. The villa is stunning and finished to a very high standard. It has everything you would possibly need while on holiday. It’s very spacious and modern. The photos don’t do the view justice, it’s simply breathtaking. We loved the infinity pool. It was mesmerising watching the swallows skim across it. You do need a car. The local people were very welcoming. The lovely housekeeper Betty gave us lots of recommendations to explore on Corfu. We really liked La Grotta and the Akron bar in Paleokastritsa. We enjoyed the water park. We would highly recommend this villa and hope to visit again.

This is a spectacular villa, in the most wonderful spot. The village is small but this is traditional life at its best. This villa is perfectly stocked with everything that anyone would need for a holiday. We were not travelling with small children but we did have 4 young people in their early twenties and the addition of music and PlayStation etc was well received. The house is totally air conditioned which makes it really comfortable in the heat of the day and early evening. The pool is great, showing off the wonderful views. An outside BBQ makes for a wonderful opportunity for outdoor eating and the village shop is simply wonderful. Each of the local Taverna's offers something slightly different and all are good. The icing on the cake is the helpful housekeeper Betty who will help with absolutely anything and is a source of rich information. Mark has created an amazing Villa here. We were travelling with someone with mobility problems and there wee ramps around the villa and a ground floor bedroom with wet room. Our only suggestion would be that the addition of a shower seat or chair would make the villa even more accessible, Thank you for the opportunity to experience Villa Michael.

We had an amazing 2 week stay in this fabulous villa The views are spectacular and location is just perfect We had hours of fun in the infinity pool and jacuzzi and, when not out, spent our evenings playing backgammon and table tennis The local village is great and the villagers are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. There are 3 great restaurants and a bar/supermarket with the best chap running an Aladdin’s Cave Would definitely recommend Mark’s pad and definitely want to stay here again soon

Arrived home from the villa today after a weeks stay. We travelled as a party of 6 (3 couples) and the accommodation was more than adequate for what we needed. The villa itself was simply breathtaking. From the modern open-plan interior, to the infinity pool offering views over the town and beyond. We also couldn't compliment Betty enough, who looks after the villa and waited on us hand and foot at times. Her help really went towards making our trip truly special. It's location is walking distance to the village which has shops and a number of local tavernas where you can have food and drinks. The main town Paleokastritsa is only a 10 minute taxi and that offers a number of bars, restaurants and amazing beaches. Could not recommend the villa enough and we will without doubt be returning again in the near future.

The villa is perfect, we have two families staying, loads of room (including bath rooms, no queing). The maid Betty is a fountain of knowledge of the local attractions, beaches, and taverners etc. Car hire a must because of the location, but what a location!!! Views over the local village of Dukades amazing during the day and night. The local shop owned by Kiki has everything that you would need, and if she doesn't have it she will get it for you, lovely friendly lady where nothing is too much trouble. The best beach we found was about half hour away down a twisty mountain road, when we got there the beach was deserted, it was the second week of Easter half term, so not may tourist places open, but still worth while for the clear waters. Our great thanks to Mark for a fantastic villa, situated perfectly on the hill side amongst the olive groves with breathtaking views. We will be returning, possibly sooner rather than later!!!!!!!
