My family of 6 adults (two 60+, 4 under 30s) spent 10 days at the Strawberry Pink Villa, or SPV, as we nicknamed it for texting purposes. The SPV was one of 2 sites for an extended family reunion of a total of 16 Durrell-lovers on Corfu. Overall, the house was delightful -- good location for taking buses to other Corfu sites and beaches, great for hanging out and card games, comfortable furnishings and nicely sized rooms. Our reason for only a 3-star rating is that the house was not, overall, up to spec in terms of details and amenities such as: enough cutlery and dishes to serve 6 people; an adequate election of cooking pots & pans, bowls, utensils, etc. for meal preparation and service; functional air conditioning units (the one in the master bedroom leaked relentlessly and we ended up buying aluminum pans to catch the drips rather than sacrificing any of the scarce kitchen vessels); and sufficient supplies of basics like towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, and so forth. Vassilis, the owner, was helpful and delightful in many ways: provided transport to the grocery store, had his guy install a screen door to keep out the neighborhood kitties (see note below); stopped by periodically to check in and chat, shared some wonderful Durrellian memories with my brother, and was generally a pleasant host. However, during the family's 10-day stay, none of the "details" issues noted above were actually resolved. We are a flexible and enterprising lot, and managed to have a delightful stay in Corfu, despite a lack of knives and forks, daily snag-the-towel competitions. etc. Renters also should be aware that: 1) the road/driveway leading up the SPV is steep and narrow, and parking is shared with other properties. If you don't absolutely need a car, consider not renting one. Bus service is ample and generally on-time. If a member of your group is going to have difficulty walking a tough 300 yds uphill, consider how you'll manage this during your stay. 2) this villa, like many Corfu properties, has a herd of resident felines -- at least 8 of various ages, colors, and sizes who slip through the fence throughout the day. Watching them try to catch the swallows that swoop over the pool is fascinating and a pleasant way to while away a sunset glass of wine. But they can be pesky and require attention to screen door closure to keep them out. All in all, with a little improvement on the details, this could be a 4- or 5-star property.
