Kontokali Lake House

Very Good

  : Fabulous apartment with a wonderful view. We stayed in a 2 bed apt with lake view. Beds were comfy and the apartment had absolutely everything we needed. Full kitchen, perfectly OK to cook a meal and eat on the lovely spacious balcony. Our welcome was great. Housekeeping was every 2 days and was perfectly OK. One day they picked flowers from the garden and put them in a vase, so nice. Beach is lovely and just an 8 minute walk away. Nearest shop for essentials (water, wine , bread, etc) is 15 min walk and a full supermarket is 20 min walk away. Area is quiet and rural. Nearest restaurants are 15/20 min walk away but the beach had a lovely restaurant which is open day and night and is great. We had a fabulous fish platter one night plus several lunches. Really convenient for getting to Corfu Town, the bus stop is 15 mins walk. You can also get a bus to Kassiopi or Paleokastritsa. Gouvia marina is close and nice for a walk. It's a very quiet place, perfect to relax, not for anyone who wants a busy resort. If you are a Durrells fan, you can see the house they filmed the ITV series. Overall, this is a beautiful place to relax and a great base to explore the island by bus or car. I would return. Thank you very much to the owners, what a fab place.
  : Kontokali itself is not a really lovely resort compared to other places on the island. It's basically a street on the main highway. Harry's Taverna is great though on a weekend. The balcony, whilst huge with an amazing view does not get any sun and was chilly in late September.

  : The location of the place was good! We could reach the south and north of the island very easily. It is close to the airport, city centrum and port. The room is decent and has nice views of the lake. The staff was friendly however there is a language barrier because of the lack of English. The room was beautiful and had amazing views. They cleaned the room regularly and gave us fresh towels and bedsheets. The room was fully equipped with all you may need.
  : Be aware especially the first time you get there, that the streets in the neighbourhood to get to the apartments are very narrow and go in hills. The apartment itself is located at the very bottom of a very steep path, so best to be careful while driving. I also do not recommend going to the nearest beach, the water is disgusting. Our room had a terrible smell which did not fully go away even though we did complain twice.

  : The view from the apartment was terrific! The beach was very closeby and one could also find tavernas around to eat.
  : Unfortunately on the first day, there was no warm water in the shower, but it got fixed afterwards.

  : We loved the fact that it was a quiet area with amazing views over the lake and the mountains, beautiful swans on the lake and beautiful birds singing !The hosts were welcoming and helpful changing the light on the balcony and helping us with other requests. The cleaning lady was a sweetheart, always so polite and happy. The rooms were cleaned every other day. Excellent service!
  : Even tho we loved the privacy that this accommodation offered us, the bathroom needs a facelift/upgrade.The WIFI was a blessing and a curse.. we were definitely living more in the present moment as the wifi wasnt strong enough for Netflix.

  : Kontokali lake house is in a beautiful setting, overlooking the lake, with lots of wildlife to admire, such as herons, birds & jumping fish! We had 3 balconies for our own use, from our two bedroom apartment, to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The property is a five minute walk from a lovely beach & Brunos taverna & casual restaurant, which serves Good reasonably priced food. The garden surrounding the house was lovely & there were small tables & chairs to sit by the lake & relax in the peaceful surroundings. The lady of the house was very accommodating.
  : The double bed could have been much more comfortable. Also the shower which was in the bath, was tricky at times to switch on, I think a separate shower would make all the difference! Otherwise we loved our stay!
