How to choose an apartment in Corfu so you don't want to leave

Corfu Island does not need decorations. It is the decoration for life itself. But that is why it is so important to choose a home that will not argue with the island, but will be in unison with it.

I have rented apartments in Corfu many times - in the city, in the village, by the sea. And I understood one thing: good apartments are not necessarily luxurious. They are the right ones. The ones where you feel calm. Where you walk in and immediately exhale.

Here's what I pay attention to:

Morning Light in the morning is the main reference point. Eastern windows, balcony or terrace - to drink coffee not in the room, but in the air.

Kitchen Even if you don't plan to cook. The kitchen speaks about the rhythm of the place. Is there a water filter, a chip-free cup, salt in a jar. It's about caring.

Proximity to the sea or garden Not necessarily on the first line. But it is important to be able to go out and find yourself in the greenery, in the shade, on the ground.

Simplicity A good apartment is not "design". It is a comfortable table, a soft blanket, a mosquito net and a curtain that moves in the wind.

Hostess The most valuable thing is when you feel that you are expected. Not as a guest, but as a person. A basket of fruit, local cheese, a hint where the nearest beach is - this makes the house a home.

Advice from me: Read reviews, but trust your intuition. Sometimes photos don't convey the main thing - the silence with which you will fall asleep.

📌 I found my apartment through Klook. Not by price, not by discount, but by feeling. And always - with morning light.
