The Area
Josephine House looks over and is just a few minutes' walk from the beach, tavernas, shops and watersports facilities (think boat hire, windsurfing and lots more) of lovely, picturesque Kalami. On the southern side of the bay is the famous White House, once home to the writer Lawrence Durrell. It is now a seafront restaurant and bar, where you can sit and imagine James Bond stopping in for a Vodka Martini (parts of For Your Eyes Only were filmed there). Josephine House is also ideally placed for discovering the beaches and fishing villages northeast of Corfu, including those of Agios Stefanos, Avlaki, Barbati and Acharavi. For a spot of nightlife, bustling Kassiopi is just a 15-minute drive away. Heading south, charming Corfu Town with its fortifications and historic labyrinth of streets is about 45 minutes' drive and well worth a visit. If you're travelling with kids, there are plenty of stimulating activities and attractions for children within easy reach.

Private boat charters in Corfu
In our opinion, there is no more liberating way to explore Corfu and its neighbouring islands than by spending a day or two on a boat, dropping anchor to dive into the sea, and popping into a taverna for a delicious lunch. Let us book you in for one of our exclusive skippered charters so that you can cruise in supreme style.

Boat rental on Corfu
A holiday in the sun would not be complete without exploring the breath-taking coastline, majestic cliffs and glistening azure sea that your destination has to offer. The best way to experience this spectacle is from your very own rental boat, pottering along at a leisurely pace and occasionally stopping off to drop anchor and swim in secluded bays.

We had an incredible experience at Josephine House and we will definitely be back and using Thinking Traveller again to arrange our holiday. What stood out was the quality and location of the villa and the chef we hired, who prepared great dinners.

Josephine House is in a wonderful location and beautifully appointed. It's very clean, has a lovely pool and is very well equipped. If we had to sum up our stay in a few words, they would be: luxury; location, location, location; great website and service.

The house manager and his team were very helpful, always - and the cleaners were a delight.

Josephine House was perfect. I actually don't think the photos on the website did it justice. It really was absolutely great. Our experience with TTT has been great from the beginning. The staff were very knowledgeable about the possible villas, booking was very easy, good information prior to the trip, high quality villa and on-the-ground staff very eager to help.
