Come essere a casa. Liked: La premura dei proprietari nel farci sentire come a casa. La velocità e disponibilità nel risolvere piccoli inconvenienti come una lampadina bruciata. La casa è dotata di tutto quello che può servire.

Archontiko Aliki is an old, traditional village house in the mountainous rural village of Sgourades. It keeps its authentic character and is ideal for nature or hiking lovers who wish to rest in peace and tradition, away from the noisy tourist and cosmopolitan resorts. Archontiko Aliki is a semi-detached property in a quiet neighbourhood surrounded by other traditional village houses. This simple property is located on the main street of the small village, has two air-conditioned bedrooms and private parking, and offers an unsurpassed view of the mountainside and the unspoiled countryside.

Layout

The entrance is directly from the small central road. It leads to a narrow space on the upper level, which consists of 2 airy double bedrooms with windows that look far to the sea, an auxiliary area that remains closed, and an internal wooden staircase that descends on the ground floor. This part of the house comprises a single open space that hosts comfortable traditional living and a dining room. The extension leads to a small but fully equipped kitchen and a family bathroom.

To the left of it, there is an external door that leads to a bright, roofed sitting area with large windows and views of the green slopes of the mountain.

Its roof, accessed from the upper level, has been turned into a superb balcony that seems to hang on the hillside, with an unsurpassed view of the countryside and all the facilities for rest or tranquillity.

The Location

Archontiko Aliki is a simple village house furnished to the standards and needs of the locals but comfortable for those who would like to stay somewhere traditional and among the mountain villagers. The cosmopolitan Roda and Acharavi, with beautiful beaches, are only 10.0 km away, while the mountain village of Episkepsi, with its traditional tavernas, is about 4.0 km or a 5-minute drive.

Location

General Information

Acharavi is a large bustling resort situated in the northern part of Corfu. Alymiros beach is located between Agios Spiridon and central Achravi and is known for its calmer long sandy shoreline, eventually connecting to the main Acharavi beach. It is possible to take a long stroll along the 9km beachfront between Almiros and Acharavi.
It comprises a main road (the commercial centre of the North) with plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets and a bank. Leading off the main road various side roads end up to the beach, which is just around 10 minutes walk Please visit the Acharavi Folklore Museum where the local history of the area is exhibited and historical mementoes, photographs and drawings can be viewed or purchased. The museum is a sure way of linking the past to present-day Corfu.
Acharavi is established as one of the top resorts on the Northern side of Corfu and is particularly suited to both couples and families due to the wonderful beach and wide range of facilities provided. Just a short drive away from the main attractions Acharavi are the Canal D'Amour in Sidari, and the resorts of Roda and Agios Spiridon,

It is around a 40km drive from the airport and takes about an hour to the centre. The scenery en route is simply stunning and totally unforgettable as you wind your way through natural gorges, olive groves to view the North of the island in its full natural glory.

The roundabout in the centre of Acharavi is called “The Pump”, named after the" Old Village Pump".
A road leads upwards from the roundabout into the old village of Acharavi. This is often missed, but well worth a stroll as you are able to view the more traditional aspects of the resort with a few more bars dotted throughout and local restaurants and tavernas by the wayside, older more traditional buildings can also be found to marvel at the ancient architecture untouched by time.

By continuing on the main road and turning up towards the villages of Episkepi and Sgourades, branching up to Strinillas and Petalia, Passing through many typically traditional villages and admiring nature along the way, eventually driving up the steep final hill to eventually reach the peak of the renowned Mount Pantokrator, the largest peak on the island. At the Peak, stop for refreshments at the coffee bar, and view the island from all facets, or visit the Holy Monastery of Pantokrator(skirts are required for Ladies) nestling in the grounds of the Summit. Many villages and towns of Albania can also be viewed from the top. Cameras are an unforgettable must!

By continuing on past Sgourades, heading downwards, you will reach the picturesque Spartillas eventually reaching the coast road leading to the North East Coast, turning right towards Corfu Town and left towards Barbati, Nissaki, Kassiopi and eventually Acharavi.

Ottimo Rapporto Qualità-Prezzo per un Soggiorno Perfetto

Soggiorno perfetto, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. L’abitazione si trova leggermente distante da luoghi ricreativi però ne vale la pena per tranquillità. L’host ci ha fatto trovare ogni tipo di detergente di cui avessimo bisogno, del vino fatto da loro e 2 tipi diversi di olio oltre e tantissimi altri beni.  Perfect stay, great value for money. The accommodation is slightly away from recreational areas but it is worth it for the tranquility. The host provided us with all kinds of cleaning products we needed, homemade wine and two different types of oil in addition to many other goods

Peace and Tranquility in a Real Village

This is a great place to stay if you want peace and tranquility in a real village, not a tourist area, although you will need your own transport. Sitting on the outdoor terrace in the evening, looking across the valley, was a highlight. The hosts were friendly but not intrusive, and had bottled water and a few snacks waiting on arrival. The fridge, cooktop/oven and dishwasher all seemed very new, which made the kitchen very usable. Air con in upstairs rooms worked very well. The drive to the coast has some spectacular views, and you can be at beaches on the island's northern or eastern side within 20 minutes.
