Mousehouse

Mousehouse is a charming little gem, nestling in a valley on the fringes of Agios Nikolaos, in rural south-east Corfu. We know this is going to be an incredibly popular summer-let, offered as it is at very reasonable prices. It is surrounded by lovely gardens, perfect for a truly ‘get away from it all’ Corfu holiday. If you prize above all else safe beaches, sun and peace, this is arguably as good as it gets in Corfu.

The house is comfortably furnished with two bedrooms, both with private balconies and two shower rooms. You will be able to use a third bedroom with a large double bed at an extra charge (See Bedrooms under Amenities and Prices). The lounge is spacious and airy with a fully fitted kitchen leading off it; here you will find everything you will need for a Corfu self-catering holiday. There is a large furnished verandah at the front of the house for watching village life go by and French doors off the lounge to a private side garden, with sunset views. Within the property is off-road parking for two medium size cars.

Mousehouse is only a short walk from a well stocked mini-market and a few minutes stroll away are some of the best (and little-known) beaches on the island. It is available for bookings throughout the year. Mousehouse Penthouse is just above Mousehouse on the upper floor. It may be rented separately from the main house , or is just as suitable for a group of eight persons occupying both floors of this sweet home.

“Our stay at ‘Mousehouse’ was an absolute delight. After several months of travelling we were looking for somewhere to relax and this was the perfect place. The house was very spacious and well decorated and very clean. It was well supplied with all necessary utensils etc for self catering. The wood burning heater was great to sit in front of during the quite chilly evenings and the central heating had the house lovely and warm. The location on the edge of the village was very peaceful the local shops were only a nice walk away. It was an easy drive to the nearest large supermarket in Lefkimmi. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the many beaches and small villages. Our initial three week booking turned into four weeks and we could easily have stayed longer. Summer or winter, this is a great place to recharge your batteries.“

‘Everything is just great here and Mum & Dad have relaxed immediately, which is super. The house and facilities are more than we could reasonably have expected for the price and we all feel in the lap of luxury – but with a lovely homely feel to boot – week two in a “normal” Greek apartment conditions will feel basic after this. Anyway, it is definitely time to head off for a lazy swim; thank you for all the advice and help – we couldn’t be happier!’ David and Marie Tunnah

Location: Agios Nikolaos
South East Corfu. Discvover the real Corfu and its hidden beaches

Agios Nikolaos is a sleepy village on the tourist-free south east coast of Corfu. It is tucked in the shelter of a large bay, not many miles from Corfu’s second largest town, Lefkimmi.

A few minutes stroll away from Mousehouse are some of the best (and little-known) beaches on the island. The two tavernas at Notos Beach are places to die for, with their beautiful gardens tumbling down to the crystal sea below. Sunbeds are right next to the calm blue waters and these are fabulous, shallow and safe places for children to play, as you dine al fresco.

About the same distance away in the opposite direction lies the traditional fishing village of Petriti. Fish tavernas and bars, mini-markets, bakery, etc
are all to be found here. While away the time watching the small fleet of fishing boats.

Nearby Lefkimmi is a fascinating ‘real’ Greek town; you will think you have stepped back in time as you wander the the narrow streets. with their tall houses, small squares, churches and traditional cafes. A small river, shelter for fishing boats and caiques, runs through Lefkimmi, and on its banks are lively cafes and restaurants. Lefkimmi is linked to mainland Greece by a small ferry terminal. With a journey time of just one hour, it makes for an easy day out exploring the towns and villages in the mountains opposite Corfu.

Getting there

Agios Nikolaos is over thirty kilometres from Corfu airport, so hiring a car makes sense – we will happily organise it for you. Alternatively we can arrange transfers to or from the airport or ferry port.

From the end of March until the beginning of November there are daily direct flights from the UK and during the summer there are scheduled and charter flights from all over Europe. At other times of the year both Olympic and Aegean fly daily from Athens. Another option is to travel by ferry from Italy with services from Venice, Ancona, Bari and Brindisi.
