Villa Birlis Corfu gave us a base in Liapades close to two beaches on Corfu’s west coast. During our stay, the walk to Liapades Beach took about five minutes, and Rovinia Beach was roughly six to seven minutes away. There was a swimming pool at the property, and our room had a kitchenette and an outdoor seating area.

Our Room at Villa Birlis Corfu

These photographs show our room at Villa Birlis Corfu. There was a double bed, a dressing table with a mirror and an air-conditioning unit above it. The furnishings were straightforward, with pale walls and tiled floors.

The Kitchenette

The kitchenette had cupboards, a worktop and a kettle. It made the accommodation feel more like a small apartment than a standard hotel room. Check the facilities listed for your chosen room when booking, as room layouts and equipment can vary.

Bathroom and Outside Seating

The bathroom had a bathtub with a shower above it and a glass shower screen. Outside, the covered seating area looked towards the pool and the surrounding hills. That view is one of the details our photographs capture particularly well.

Villa Birlis Corfu Pool and Surroundings

The Villa Birlis Corfu pool sits in front of the terracotta-coloured buildings, with stone paving around the water and a lawn beside it. Beyond the accommodation are green hills. We have included views from different angles so you can see how the pool and buildings sit together.

Walking to Liapades and Rovinia Beach

Being able to reach both beaches on foot from Villa Birlis Corfu was useful. Our walk to Liapades Beach took about five minutes.
