This is a traditional-style Cottage only two kilometers from the picturesque harbour and the seafront tavernas overlooking the pebbly beach at Aghios Stefanos.
Mistral cottage was previously linked to the apartments next door and run by the same local family, but in 2005 the owners decided to divide the properties, and to one side of the cottage add a fantastic new private swimming pool (8m x 5m), surrounded by a stone-flagged terrace and amply equipped with sun-loungers, sun umbrella and outdoor table with chairs for el-fresco dining.

From the swimming pool terrace you can survey the beautiful panorama of hills and mountains on Corfu, and further too, Albania, studded with elegant Cypresses, rolling down to the glistening sea in the distance.

Here are a few of the nearby villages and small towns to Mistral Cottage:-:

Agios Stephanos (North East)

 
joanna joanna joanna
 

Agios Stephanos is a pretty little harbour with lots of water' activities in its horseshoe shaped bay, sea front tavernas and something of interest for visitors of all ages. It lies against a backdrop of dramatic rugged hills and looks across the sea to Albania. With its two mini-markets, an exchange office, two sophisticated cocktail bars, two boat hire agents and gift shops all to be found on the harbour front of this picturesque traditional Greek fishing village, relatively unchanged for the last 20 years when tourism first hit the island of Corfu.
Reached by a narrow winding lane this picturesque inlet half hidden by trees has remained totally unspoilt, though it is only a few kilometers from the popular resort of Kassiopi. The immediate area of the village is a tranquil haven with individual rental properties dotted amongst pinewoods and olive groves, leading down to a series of quiet beaches.

Kassiopi

 
joanna joanna joanna
 

Kassiopi, the largest town in the north, is a thriving harbour town catering for all tastes.
A place that combines mountain with sea, green with blue, new with old, tranquility with liveliness, the locals that make you feel welcome and important to them, it fulfils the needs of all ages with many choices for day or night. Kassiopi is situated on the north east coast of Corfu at 36 kilometers from Corfu Town and is surrounded by lush green slopes of olive trees and charming little bays. It’s picturesque amphitheatre shaped port, it’s well preserved church, it’s cosmopolitan finesse, it’s deep blue and hospitable shores, the sight of the huge Byzantine fortress that looms over the village as well as the varied and affordable choices of bars and restaurants will enchant it’s visitors. The main harbour is full of local fishermen by day, but comes alive at night with the many bars and tavernas which line the waterfront.
It’s easy to reach every Kassiopi beach, all of which are clean and safe. You will find EU blue flags here and at nearby Kalamionas beach. Children in Kassiopi will enjoy the flat main beach which is safely away from traffic. Other Kassiopi beaches and secluded coves with fewer facilities are found around the beautiful headland. Most of Kassiopi beaches are pebbly but there are plenty of them and they can be charmingly small and secluded.

Kerasia

 
joanna joanna joanna
 

At one end of the bay is a solitary taverna, set by the waters edge and by the small jetty where caiques bring temporary visitors for lunch or drinks. By evening the only boat left is the odd yacht spending the night at anchor and peace descends on Kerasia, a true ‘away-from-it-all’ retreat and a lovely place in which to enjoy the fresh fish and home-made food served in the taverna.

 
joanna joanna joanna
 

Kerasia Beach is a shingle beach, with board walks to make it easier to get from your sun bed to the taverna for drinks, ice creams etc. There are also sun umbrellas as well as sun beds to hire for a small daily charge and showers, toilets and changing areas available. Kerasia beach is child friendly, it is flat and the water is quite shallow for a little way out, and then deepens quickly so caution is always recommended. The beach shop sells anything from towels and sun creams, to swim wear and books!
