Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

A wonderful holiday at Villa Oleander
We had a perfect 2 week stay at Villa Oleander. The villa is well located in the centre of the island so all the beautiful beaches are within easy reach - the local beach at Pelekas is amazing and only a 10 minute drive. Clear, warm Ionian Sea for swimming and a sandy beach, perfect! Corfu town is only a 15 minute drive with many lovely shops, even an M&S!
The villa itself is very spacious, clean and has everything you could possibly need for a wonderful and relaxing holiday. There is also a washing machine in the villa in an outside utility room which proved handy.
You won’t need a guide book as Stephen and Shay have a folder in the villa which tells you everything you need to know about the area and places to visit.
The pool is great and was the perfect temperature to cool off during the day or after a day out at the beach.
You would need to hire a small car to get around the island. There are some really beautiful places to visit - the boat trip from Corfu Town to Paxos and Anti Paxos was amazing - we saw a shoal of dolphins on the way and the sea was turquoise and crystal clear!
Stephen and Shay were the perfect hosts and with it being our first time to Corfu gave us great tips of places to visit.
We cannot recommend Villa Oleander enough and Corfu is a great island to visit. Thank you for a perfect holiday. We rarely visit the same place twice but we will definitely be returning to Corfu and would not stay anywhere else but in your lovely villa ! X

To start with Shay and Stephen are very good on all details before travelling, down to, not just written instructions but also in pictures, and sent us all info on villa, so all prepared. Stephen met us on arrival and very easy to get key. Villa clean and very well equipped, comfy bed.
Pool area good with comfy cushions for loungers. Very private. Def need a car, village only 10 mins walk but there a tiny shop and nothing else, we hired a car from value plus car rentals, they were very good.
Only thing that we did not like were dogs in the distance barking, and in the night, but that not shay and stephens fault. Would def recommend this villa.

A lovely two weeks spent at Villa Oleander. The location is very peaceful and off the beaten track and a perfect central location for exploring the island. As mentioned in the villa information a car is a definitely a necessity. The villa was clean, tidy and well equipped and maintained discreetly throughout our stay. Stephen and Shay were the perfect hosts, they completely respected our privacy but were always available if we needed them or had any questions. Before our arrival Shay was very responsive to emails and the information they provided was very extensive and extremely beneficial to our stay. We would definitely recommend hiring a boat to explore the coastline. Spiros boat hire in Barbati was a great recommendation in the villa information guide. We would not hesitate to book this villa again so if you’re considering a booking you will not be disappointed. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Firstly the hosts Shay and Stephen have done a wonderful job here, the instructions on directions and within the villa were easy to follow. They greeted us on arrival and were so welcoming! The villa has everything you can ask for including ALL kitchen utensils which is my bug bear! The villa was spotless as was the pool and patio area. As its south facing the pool was so warm and inviting and I agree with previous reviews, the photos don't do this beautiful villa justice!
Perfect location to travel around especially to the west and south coast, Pelekas was lovely with some fabulous restaurants and great beach which we didn't visit until later in our week silly billy! We will know better next time - we never go to the same place twice but we are already looking at dates for next year...our children are already looking forward to it! Thank you Shay and Stephen for a wonderful and relaxing holiday xx

Perfect! Charming rural location, but 5mins away from main road and easy access to anywhere on the island. Really has everything you need, with lovely, helpful, friendly, accessible hosts who understand how to be available and engaging, but respect guests privacy. We will certainly be returning to Villa Oleander. Thank you for a fantastic, relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable stress free holiday.

Oleander Villa is just an amazing place to spend holiday in Corfu. The villa is located in a small village, Afra, in the countryside, in a very quiet place. You are only surrounded by some other villas (among them, Shay and Stephen's) and some farms. You may come across some sheeps and goats when driving to town. Afra is ideally located in the middle of the Island. It is just 8 km (20 min) from Corfou old town, 12 km from Glyfada beach (one of the best beach of the island if you love sand), 32 km from the "deep south" and Issos Beach, 35 km (1 hour) from the North west, Sidari and the famous "canal d'amour', so you can tour and discover the whole island from Afra.
The villa and its garden (we loved the small oliver trees and laurel) is really great and the swimming pool is just a must-have in the summer.
Shay and Stephen are great hosts and will always try to answer yours requests. We needed some towels for the beach and french TV and we have both "in a minute". They lived just across the road so it is reassuring but they are also very respectful of your intimacy.
We will love to spend some other holiday at Villa Oleander and meet Shay and Stephen again.

Perfect
Super schönes Ferienhaus. Abseits, aber dennoch zentral. Wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht ist hier absolut richtig. Ein Haus zum wohlfühlen, im mediterranen Stil.

The villa is super conveniently located to be able to access all parts of the island at a very easy drive and is really close to some of the fantastic beaches such as Glyfada. Shay and Stephen were wonderful hosts who were very helpful with the check in and out processes and generally with information and ideas of what to do in Corfu. The villa was very clean and comfortable with a fantastic pool and outdoor area to sit and relax in.
