We spent six unforgettable days at Villa Thea Mare Maistro by Posarelli Villas in Lakones, and to say it exceeded expectations would be an understatement. There were five of us, and we were more than comfortable in the spacious, modern villa. The photos truly don’t do it justice—this place has the best view in all of Corfu. From the infinity pool to the ocean-facing balcony upstairs, every moment felt like a postcard.
The villa is brand new, spotless, and well laid out, with a large kitchen, quiet bedrooms, and plenty of space to relax. The pool area was perfect for lounging, and one night we grilled out with meats from Michalas Butcher-Delicatessen—just down the road.
Adonis, the host and butcher went above and beyond throughout our stay. He gave us spot-on recommendations for everything—restaurants, beaches, local towns, and boat rentals. Thanks to him, we rented boats from Billis Paleo Boat Rental four days in a row and explored the coast by sea, which became a highlight of our trip. Every recommendation he gave made our time on the island better.
Lakones itself is a beautiful, quiet area that felt more authentic and peaceful than other parts of the island, including Corfu Old Town. The villa is walkable to Il Pozzo, George’s Shop and Bakalokafenio. The marina, boat rentals, more restaurants, and shops in Paleokastritsa are just a short drive away. A car is definitely recommended, as the roads are steep and narrow.
Some of our friends were staying in nearby villas, but ours quickly became the go-to hangout spot thanks to the comfortable setup, fast elevator, plenty of parking, and unbeatable views.
This villa truly made our trip. We’re already talking about coming back, and we can’t thank Adonis and his team enough for their kindness, hospitality, and all the thoughtful touches that made our stay unforgettable. If you’re considering booking this villa—do it, and take every one of Adonis’s recommendations. You won’t regret it.
