Thekli Villa is a lovely villa set up quite a steep hill behind the Odeysseas Hotel. Is not really very easy to get to if you have problems walking or with a buggy, but we did have a buggy when we went and it was possible. It can be very dark when returning at night so best to bring a torch, although you can leave outside lights on from the villa which light up the final path to the villa. Has fantastic views and as it is out of the way is very quiet. The owners were lovely and friendly and kept the villa spotless. The villa itself is basic but comfortable with a well eqipped if not old fashioned kitchen and nice seating area. There is a large double bedroom room with patio doors out to the balcony and a smaller twin room to the rear. I think one of the sofas in the lounge folded down but we didn't have to do this. As well as the balcony there is also a pretty garden to the front and side.
The villa is situated in the centre of Paleo so there as shops and bars within 5 mins whichever way you walk. There is a fab restaurant called the Dolphin at the bottom of the hill on the other side of the road from the villa but be warned there is a long walk back up so best go for a drink before heading home. There are plenty of pools to use nearby with the closest being at the Odysseas Hotel. There is also a bus stop and the bottom of the road leading to the villa for popping into Corfu Town. The beaches in Paleo aren't great but the best one is about a 10 min walk to the right of the villa.
We loved our holiday here and would highly recommend the villa for a nice quiet holiday, but still being close to the centre of the resort.
