The laid-back and quiet feel to the town makes it ideal for older couples and young families looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle and to enjoy the quieter side of the island. Nisaki in Greek means “little island” and according to the locals it was once a small rocky island, which joined with the mainland of the village through the years!
Nisaki beach is less than a 10-minute drive from the villa’s front door, as well as several others spread along the coast. The beach offers a pebbly shore with clear water and plenty of coves for you to explore – ideal for those who love snorkelling!

If you desire a livelier night out, then Kassiopi along the coast offers an insight into Corfu’s famous nightlife! With late-night bars and dance spots, you can enjoy a different aspect of the island, perfect for young adults and groups of friends that want to enjoy both sides of the island’s culture!
Corfu Town, the capital of this stunning island, can be reached in 40-minutes. You can amble around the majestic streets and soak in the beauty of this UNESCO world heritage site, spending an afternoon and evening meandering around the Venetian fortress and English Palace, losing yourself in the enchanting history of this town.

Amazing Stay, most incredible 180deg view, AAA Experience
The owners and staff take great pride in the location, house and the service they provide. Communication was excellent throughout and the cost is fair. We were just one family with 3 kids so had plenty of space but even with 2-3 families sharing you will have a great time. The views are extraordinary. Everything was perfect. Not being a criticism as its just a fact - but its worth noting that the pool at the main house is not ideal for younger children and toddlers, its 1.7meters deep throughout. If you rent the entire place you will be fine as the smaller 2br house has a more child friendly pool. Amazing views = steep road to the property so get a powerful hire car or not get a car at all and just enjoy the home. Plenty of restaurants nearby, decent supermarket down the hill etc but you have Eva and Spiros who will gladly get you anything you need. Both made our holiday a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend Eva enough for her ‘ghost-care’. She keep the House tidy, cooks and cleans to pretty much our own standards at home which is immaculate. Take advantage and stay at least for a week. Anything less is not enough. Enjoy the Theodore Estate.

Amazing!
Amazing view. Great design. Great support from the Eva (cook), making everyday life very easy.

Amazing Views
The house is fabulous and the views are beyond amazing. The arrangements with Spyros and Eva shopping and cooking really make it a proper holiday, just like staying in a hotel but the privacy of a villa. A short walk or drive down the hill are a handful of shops and a couple of restaurants. Vitamins is good for Greek food and carafes of house wine. We enjoyed swimming on Nissaki Beach, found a great restaurant in Kassiopi , Trilogia- good food and even better sunsets, but ultimately wanted to get back to our little bit of paradise at Theordore Estate.
