We walked through last year and had a look at the pool area. Looked lovely. You won't be disappointed. 2 mins to the beach and 5 mins into the heart of the village.
They also do a good BBQ night

Enjoy

Thankyou for your reply,I will look on web site.It sounds as if the apartments are ideal.    I  missed Corfu last year so I'm really looking forward to our holiday this year.I will also want to book a taxi nearer the time. I gather from past postings San Stefanos Travel are the most reliable.

We have used San Stef Travel for taxi / minibus transfers for the last couple of years and have not been let down by them. You don't pay the taxi driver either you pay direct to San Stef Travel on arrival or the next day .

We used to love the Vicky Pool but since the new guy took over the pool bar a couple of years ago we have moved away to Kapetanios as we find him very unfriendly. The other problem there for me is that the umbrella stands are concreted in so you cant move them around with the sun. Great pool, view and location though!

We love staying at the Vicky as the location is so good.  We found Lesley to be very friendly and helpful and to be fair Aris is friendly when you chat to him and he keeps the pool area immaculate - plus does a splendid barbeque.  I am sure you will be glad you chose the Vicky.

We stayed there a couple of years ago and the location is stunning.  The apartments are clean and comfortable with lovely balcony.  We were in the old block.
I have to say speak as you find and we got on really well with Aris.  We used to have lunch there most days and he would always stop for a chat.
Enjoy

Chrissyann - WINKIE is right. Our friends think we're mad - they jet off to Vietnam or wherever - and simply can't understand why we're going back again to Agios Stephanos for the fifth year.

I remember WINKIE sending me a private mail about Little Prince. I think the information I gave was accurate. How many times is it this year, WINKIE?

It's not frenetic, it's not surrounded by great Hellenic sites, it's not particularly cute - but the views of the islands offshore, the sunsets, and the sheer relaxing ambiance together with the warmth of the local people make it almost irresistibly seductive.

You have to try it. Many of us did. Some have been back for more twenty years. All I can say is that when I arrive in the village it immediately feels like I'm at home.

I love the Vicky apartments, and after a two year break, have just booked to go back again this year.

I use a photo taken from the top of the old block, room 16 I think, as my screensaver at work. I get many a comment and lots of questions as to where it is.

I think the location is absolutely perfect, within a few yards of the beach, and only a few minutes walk away from the centre of the village.

Yay success. Changed holiday from 7 days to 14 days.  Result.  Cost a bit with admin fee, but will be well worth it.

Roll on 12th May.
