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.

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.

Anonymous August 2024

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.

Everyone in our party thought the villa and location was exceptional.

J.R. September 2023

We loved the position of Josephine House, close to the beach of Kalami and the restaurants.

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

SP, United Kingdom September 2021

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.
