About this property

Charming and traditional small stone house.

The best choice for the most authentic and alternative holidays.

It is a very cozy and hospitable house , suitable for those who prefer peaceful family or romantic vacations for two.

The guest house is the first one of the eight houses one can find while reaching the linear agglomeration of Fourni. Fourni is a very small village, at the north hillsides of mount Pantokratoras -the highest on Corfu island- 10 minutes distance from the nearest town and beach of Acharavi.

Castelli Olive Press was my family's small home olive press, serving , also, the nearby houses of Fourni village. The building was built 150 years ago and was covering the needs of the village, until new contemporary units of processing olives appeared in the area, about 50 years ago. Then, the only thing left was the "screw", which the people started to use it for making their wine. At the same time, a part of this small building became storage and stable of our family.
Nowadays, we renovated the building using traditional building methods and maintaining the old massive stone walls. So, the house , now is completely restored and fully renovated, turned into a comfortable and charming house for three people.

The house Is situated in a fully green and unspoiled environment .
The site breathes out an atmospheric quiet and tranquility. This becomes more intense due to the panoramic view from the south to the north , over the hills with olive groves and cypress trees till the north beach of Roda , Acharavi and Othonoi Island.
The sunset from the property Is extraordinary.

The house is landscaped and decorated with a lot of personal attention and care. It is 50 sqm with two rooms. It has an open living room -with a sofa-bed-, a fully equipped kitchen and a dining corner. There is , also , a bathroom and a truly bright and lovely double-bed bedroom.
Around the house there is a nice courtyard for someone to relax ,eat, drink, read, play games , or just watch the beautiful sunset and the breathtaking view. You can , also , enjoy the small pool , a level higher from the courtyard, the site of which culminates charm, tranquility and beauty of the landscape.
The pool is shared with the next house, Castelli Cottage, my grandparent's main house , available for renting too . Salt electrolysis, no chemical additives : clear , odorless, safe water.

Entspannung pur!
Angenehme Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin. Wir haben im Voraus nützliche Infos erhalten. Wir wurden darauf hingewiesen, auf dem Weg die Einkäufe zu machen, was uns mindest. eine Fahrt in die Stadt erspart hat. Da die Anfahrt zu dem Ort bei Google Maps falsch verzeichnet ist, wird man von einem Freund der Familie in Acharavi abgeholt. Den Treffpunkt findet man einfach – es gibt tatsächlich nur einen Kreisel in der Stadt. Die Unterkunft liegt oben in den Bergen, inmitten eines Olivenhaines, ein Auto ist notwendig. Die Anfahrt ist etwas abenteuerlich – nur für geübte Autofahrer zu empfehlen (slalomreiche und teils relativ steile Schotterpiste). Wenn man aber das Ziel erreicht hat, wird man mit einem tollen Ausblick belohnt – über die grüne Insel bis zum Meer, zudem auf der rechten Seite Blick auf eine imposante Felsformation. Das Häuschen ist perfekt für zwei Personen. Sehr gepflegte und liebevoll ausgesuchte Einrichtung. Alles war sauber und komfortabel. Auf uns hat ein Begrüßungskörbchen mit tollen lokalen Spezialitäten gewartet. Hervorheben möchte ich das gepflegte Bad, die Fliegengitter in allen Fenstern, das schnelle und gut funktionierende W-Lan, den gepflegten Hof und natürlich den Pool mit einem herrlichen Ausblick, u.a. auf die Sonnenuntergänge, die wir sehr genossen haben. Außer der Saison war die größere Villa nicht bewohnt, damit hatten wir alle Sitzmöglichkeiten und den Pool nur für uns! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden wieder buchen.

Perfect cottage attached to main house
We took both cottage and house and all accommodations were fabulous. This cottage was a special treat with its own living area, and tucked to the side below the pool. A truly magical place! We meet as a family once a year and have been lucky enough to do it in some fabulous houses, but this rated as one of our favorites for its stunning view and extremely private and peaceful location.

Everything we ever hoped for
Fabulous property — quaint, clean, modern yet full of real character. Wonderful personal experiences with both owner and caretakers. Close enough to everything yet far enough away in an eyrie’s nest with spectacular views. Could not have liked this better. Thanks to Matina, Stephen, Maggie, John, Nikos and family (local taverna DO NOT MISS IT) for a fabulous stay.

Perfect vacation
Castelli Olive Press was a wonderful home base for our stay in Corfu, it's easily accessible and a short drive from beaches/towns but feels truly private and special. The view is absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. The house itself is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and well-equipped. While we didn't meet in person, Matina was a lovely and communicative host, and Steven was super helpful and gave us great recommendations. I would (and will!) recommend Castelli Olive Press to anyone. Thank you again, Matina!
