We stayed seven nights, shortly before the birth of our first child, so we wanted somewhere quiet, relaxing and friendly. Villa de loulia delivered this in spades: sitting by the pool, amazing breakfasts and dinners, and lots of recommendations from a very friendly owner. We didn't mind the lack of aircon because of the room fans.

We have stayed at Villa de Loulia for 2 weeks with 2 small children (1,5 and 3,5 years) and we had good time sight seeing Corfu by car, swimming at nearby beaches and pool.

Villa is the small boutique hotel located in tiny village at the north part of the island about 35 kilometers from Corfu town and airport. Hotel is arranged in historical house which is located in large very nice garden with sizable pool. We ware happy with the stay as we like small hotels without crowds. Hotel is also located about 2 min walk from nice, local greek tawerna which offers tasty local food at very reasonable prices.

Hotel does not have air-conditioning while thick walls of old house give you enough protection from heat most of the time while being for eco and health friendly. We also know that owner was considering to install internet link so ask for it if you desperately need it during vacation :).

We booked there because of the pictures of the nice garden. We were looking for a quiet, romantic, beautiful place, with a luxury flavour. Fact is that:
- the hotel is on the verge of a loud roads crossing
- no service: for 160EUR a night, the lady did not want to pick us up at the Sidari bus station, just 10 min away by car.
- it turned out that the Sidari area is the worse area of Corfu, with all this dreadfull mass tourism
- the bedroom was small, dark, with no air, and very hot in August
- NO air conditionned, hence we had to keep the door and the window open to get some cool air
- then we got eaten by mosquitoes the all night long - oh yes: NO mosquito net either!
- very average breakfast
- less important, but still: NO internet access, although stated in the brochure
- as we had NO sleep, we checked out in the morning and payed for this single night. The lady wanted to charge us the 4 nights that we had booked, and started to call the police - who eventually never came. But she made a hell of a show.
- just a bad experience and a bad memory.

We stayed at Villa de Loulia, at room Aloysius, from 7 till 14 September 2009. The accomodation exceeded our expectations because it was very clean and quiet. On a daily basis, the room was cleaned and the bed sheets were changed. Breakfast was simple but good. We had dinner in two occasions, which was excellent both times. During short walks within the surroundings, towards Logas Sunset Beach we witnessed several beautiful sunsets, which we enjoyed with local wine and dishes. We used a rental car to explore the island and drove over 500km to visit many exotic places this island has. On top of this, our hostess Loukia and her dog Evrydiki as well as the local people we met treated us very friendly.
