Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Syvota

Spectacular views from the large private balcony, very clean accommodation with a basic kitchen, beautiful garden with sun loungers and sun umbrella. Walk to the seashore within 2 mins for swimming and 25-30 min walk to the beaches bars and restaurants in Messonghi. Handful of great tavernas within 5-10 mins walk “The Fisherman’s Haunt” & “George & Elanas” very good. Hosts George & Agelliki very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely visit again…

We were three people traveling—myself, my wife, and my 83-year-old father—on a family trip, and this rental was a great fit for our needs. The location was ideal: quiet, picturesque, with restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance, and major attractions easy to reach by car. Having a dedicated parking spot was a big plus. The apartment itself was clean and practical for our needs, but the real gem was the large sea-view balcony. We spent time out there every single day - it became our shared space, especially since the inside was quite small and didn’t have much of a common area. That was something we knew ahead of time from the listing so it wasn’t a surprise. Overall, it was a lovely stay. It felt like the right place for our little family getaway, and we’d definitely come back. No complaints - just good memories.

I am originally from Corfu but I've been living abroad for most of my life. I contemplated writing this review in Greek, but the reality is that Corfiots already know what a gem of a flat this is. So I am writing this in English to help anyone else who wants to visit. This is the most amazing AirBnB you will find in Corfu old town, period. If you've watched the Durrell tv series and wondered how it would feel to live in that era, but with modern amenities and comfort, look no further. Maria and Francesca's place is the most warm, authentic, well-kept, 200 year old apartment I have ever been to. St. Spiridon, Old and New Fortress, Liston square, Faliraki beach, Yacht Club, Kapodistrias' home, the Sunrise and Sunset are all there for you to enjoy from your countless windows or the one-of-a-kind Belvedere outpost, accessible by an interior staircase. Now, if you happen to spend Greek Easter here, you are in for a treat. You can see the fireworks, marching bands etc. right in front of you!

Absolutely perfect – a top stay in Corfu So glad we found this place—it was perfect. I’m picky about where I stay, but this one is definitely on my top list. The apartment was modern, spacious, and felt truly luxurious, perfect for our family of four (and could easily fit six). The view was stunning, and we loved sitting on the balcony in the mornings and evenings. Great location with amazing spots nearby. The host, Nikos, was responsive and shared helpful local tips. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Vivi was a wonderful host and very helpful from start to finish. She offered to arrange a private transfer from the airport, she gave us recommendations for local beaches and helped us navigate the tricky public transport system. Vivi was always quick to respond and keen to assist us with anything we had an issue with. The studio was lovely - bright and clean and exactly like the description. It's literally a two minute walk from Kalami beach and right across from a supermarket. I cannot recommend Vivi's place enough!

Danae and athina are incredible hosts . Kind and generous and responsive . The flat is fantastic and the balcony has the best view . We highly recommend their home .

The apartment was immaculately clean with a beautiful view and beach. Maria is extremely responsive and helpful. I have a slight disability which made it difficult for me to carry groceries from the shop to the room and go up and down. We ate in the Domes hotel at lunch time which is good and reasonably priced. The other tavernas are not very good but may get better later in the season. We don’t like loud music from the beach bars so found the Nudist end of the beach quieter or the other extreme end which has very calm water. If I was writing a book or a digital nomad this would be perfect. NB. You need a hire CAR!!! Buses twice a day! Do your grocery shopping on the way. Maria’s apartment had tea /coffee/sugar and other condiments. They also left a decent bottle of wine which was appreciated and bottles of water. It is a beautiful apartment.

It was very easy to commynicate with Tasos! The appartment is spacious, clean and very good value for money. It is located very centrally and it has all the necessary equipment! Tottaly recommended!

We had a great stay at Ioanna’s. It’s very peaceful, well equipped and a very short walk to the beach and restaurants. We all had a truly relaxing holiday. Ioanna is super-friendly and helpful/ we couldn’t have asked for more.

We had a wonderful stay in Villa Christina in May. The villa is lovely. Great views and a nice big terrace to eat outside. We found the villa well equipped and comfortable for our stay with kids. Lakka is a short walk down some steps (5mins or so - we had eight-year-olds and grandparents in our party). It’s close by but far enough for the villa to feel nicely secluded. Great family friendly beach is easily accessible on foot. No need for a car. Julia was super helpful and friendly. She sorted taxis for us and was able to help with any questions we had. Thoroughly recommend this place!

Everything good, Babis is a very nice person

Very nice, clean and cute house in a lovely little village. Great for couples looking for something quiet and romantic, but also has buses several times a day to Corfu town and Agios Gordios beach. The host communicated well, was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Definitely recommended!

the apartment was very clean and welcoming. we had everything we needed. I loved waking you to the sound of cockerals and the birds and the garden is beautiful, about a 6 minute drive to the closest beach. There is also a lake nearby. I had hired a rental car so we could get to other areas and this is wise as this apartment is set away from the busy areas. The area is so peaceful and Nick was very helpful when I needed help with my phones WiFi and data! Nicks Mum was also very helpful and around when we needed her. All in all we had a lovely stay, and I would highly recommend coming here. Hopefully we will come back next year :) Thanks Nick and his Mum, we had a lovely stay!

I wish we could give more than 5 stars! Spyridon is an extremely special host, we had the most incredible time, we feel like we have made a true friend – he is unbelievably generous. The Airbnb is even cooler than it looks in the pictures and the whole area had lots to explore. We will be back!

We absolutely loved our holiday at Casa Ananda. First time visitors to Paxos so slightly nervous about travel and transfers but Charalampos was very helpful providing us with information and arranging a taxi transfer as well as welcoming us to the house with lots of helpful recommendations and tips. The house was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 4 older teenagers....spotless and comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms and a fabulous sea view. The brilliant air con was a plus as it was very hot! The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to eat in when we wanted, and the restaurants of Gaios were plentiful and varied for nights out. The location was perfect ...quiet and private with the Town a 10min walk away so no need for a car. The little pebbled beach opposite the house accessible down a short but steep path was perfect for a morning swim too. Sotiris was a great help in booking taxis, accessing wine deliveries and advising on boat trips. We'll be back next year 😀

Evangelos's place is perfect to relax and discover Paxos for a couple days. We had a great time. Evangelos's dad is also extremely welcoming.

Lidovois was super nice in helping me bring my bike and bags into his car on the road for my departure. We also discussed various topics together. Everything was perfect and really relaxing in the apartment. The beach is 5 minutes away and it's superb because it's not too overrun with deckchair rentals. Great. Eric

The apartment is in a top location and decorated in style with the area. We in particular enjoyed sitting on the little balcony, watching live go on in the street below. A street musician passed one evening while the swallows would be visiting us every morning and evening. An excellent stay in a beautiful town.

Kostas was a super friendly and helpful host. Despite my flight being delayed, he waited for me to check in at night, gave me helpful tips and was generous all in all! Happy to come back - thank you and all the best

Quiet flat even tho in the heart of old town, especially convenient, clean and has atmosphere, with lovely art work, Zoe was around/available if had any questions, and I had a beautiful 3 days in Corfu in part due to having the space.

Very beautiful views from this place! The “downtown” area is about a 10 min walk, but the views make everything worth it.

Myrto was very helpful, accommodating a very late check in. She responded quickly to any questions we had and went out of her way to help. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and within easy walling distance of the old town of Corfu. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying at Myrto’s place.

This location is quite close to the center and has direct sea views. We went in the late season (early November). It was therefore very quiet. There are some beach clubs directly on the coast, but we have not been bothered by this due to closure.

Ioanna has a great apartment here! The location on the edge of the old town in the second row on Saroko Square is ideal for a tour in the evening, shopping in the morning for breakfast on the beautiful balcony, etc. The beds are comfortable with many different blankets and pillows, the kitchen is well equipped, hot water works perfectly. There are, apart from the guarded parking lots, also from time to time a free one in the neighborhood, we were there at the end of May and always found one. The buses depart from the square. Absolute recommendation for Corfu Town!
