It is a thriving mass of shops and businesses, set amongst a captivating and charming assortment of elegant buildings, churches, imposing fortresses, and narrow alleyways leading to hidden squares. The tall buildings with the 'volta' (arches), the 'cantounia' (narrow flagstoned streets), the 'mouragia' (sea-walls) are showing all a clear Italian influence.

Reviews
The owner was excellent at communicating. She is very organized and extremely helpful. She was such a gracious host, welcoming us with an inviting bowl of fruit and wine. Now for the apartment itself. First of all the apartment is absolutely lovely. It is in a building with a lot of character. It is beautifully furnished, and the living room is as lovely as a picture shows unlike many of the pictures on websites that are deceptive, and taken at angles that present a room at its best. Not so here. The bedroom, kitchen (very well equipped, by the way), etc are a very nice and comfortable size. We found everything we needed in the apartment; it was very well appointed. The location is perfect. You are within walking distance of most of the salient features of Old Corfu Town. While the restaurants, cafes, shops, and the lively hustle and bustle are just a couple of minutes' walk away, the apartment itself is very quiet and restful-- so you have the best of both worlds. Lovely in every way. We will most certainly seek out this apartment the next time we are in Corfu!
