About the home

Jasmine cottage is spacious, light and airy, very well equipped and finished beautifully to a high standard, with lots of little extras that truly make this little cottage stand out from the crowd.

Enter the cottage to find a fully fitted kitchen and living area, with television, DVD player, music system and air-con.
Living area has large comfy day bed for seating and to accommodate sleeping of up to 1 extra person.

Leading from the sitting area is the bedroom with double bed and French doors leading out onto the veranda with comfy alfresco wicker seating area.
Small private garden with dining seating for 4 & sun lounges at back of cottage leading from veranda. The garden area looks out onto countryside and is not overlooked by neighbouring buildings.
Shower room with corner shower, towels and dressing gowns provided.

Beautifully decorated to a high standard, newly built Jasmine cottage is set back from the winding road dotted with olive trees, leading to the resort of St George. A quiet location perfect for total relaxation and time out in the sun enjoying quality food in the many tavernas and lots of exploring on offer.

The long beautiful sandy beach of St George is just a short stroll away at 250m and leads onto the famous Issos beach. Choose between the quieter end, where tourism is yet to hit...at times you could be the only ones on the beach. Or you have the choice of the slightly busier end which has water sports and beach bars/tavernas on offer.

The Ionian Islands region

Among the 3000 inhabited islands of Greece, there is a small group of seven, known as the Eptanissa or Ionian Islands, located just off the western mainland seaboard.
Captivating landscapes of rugged mountains, green hills and the ever present turquoise warm shallow waters of the Ionian sea best sum up the Ionian Islands.
Over the centuries these islands have developed their own culture and identity, partly through their periodic occupation by foreign powers such as the Venetians, the Turks and the British.
Each Island is unique unto itself, varying not only from the rest of Greece but from it's neighbours.

The Corfu / Agios Georgios South area

The 'Emerald Island' of Corfu, known to the Greeks as Kerkyra, homes well watered and beautiful lush green hillsides where you will find an array of colourful flowers and vast stretches of olive groves and vinyards.

Sunny days, cool night breezes, friendly locals and fascinating history are just some of the memories that you will take home with you.

Steeped in history both the Venetians and the British have occupied Corfu and you will still find much evidence of their architecture and rule here today. The cricket pitch in Corfu town is just one of the many interesting and quirky features.

Corfu caters for everyone from golf, water sports, water parks, scuba diving, horse riding or simply for those who just want to relax on the beautiful and many beaches Corfu has to offer.

Corfu Town was built between two fortresses during the Venetian rule and is one of the most beautiful, most impressive and interesting cities in Greece. The population of Corfu Town is about 30,000, and is quite cosmopolitan compared to other islands in Greece. It is an amazing mixture of old tavernas, new cafes, bars and clubs plus the beautiful old city protected by the two fortresses.

The town's architecture offers elegant buildings, mansions, palaces and monuments in narrow paved streets with stone steps, French designed squares full of trees and flowers, impressive Venetian castles and even Byzantine churches. The narrow streets house small shops and boutiques of every kind. Among the bustle look out for those shops and stalls selling local items like wild honey, fig cakes and handmade lace. Be tempted by the Corfiot craftsman who excel at designing and making jewellery in gold and silver.

Corfu Town has a unique beauty, charm, character and atmosphere that will bring you back time and time again. A visit and a coffee in one of their beautifully situated coffee shops to watch the world go by is a must.

St George / Agios Georgios

Situated on the south west coast of the island, St George known as the 'sun set bay' is approximately 35kms from Corfu Town.

Accessible by only one road that winds through dense olive groves, St George was once just a tiny fishing community.

Today it still retains much of it's charm and also boasts three wonderful sandy beaches, St George beach, Issos beach and Halikouna beach. Halikouna, the longest of the three is pure sand stretching for over a mile and attracts tourists and locals from all over Corfu.

Stretching out a little further across the sand dunes and desert like features is Lake Korission, covering an expanse of 1500 acres. The lake or lagoon here is a nature reserve and home to many rare bird species - ideal for walking and being close to nature as well as being a turtle-nesting area. This is truly a magical spot where sea and sand harmonise.

As the day draws to a close and the beaches begin to empty, St George becomes a paradise for those who enjoy tranquillity and the chance to relax in peaceful surroundings. Join the locals in the tavernas, sample the local wine and delicious cuisine whilst watching the sunset on the horizon. Simply divine!

Locals and most maps of the Island will refer to the resort of St George as Agios Georgios which is the Greek translation. There is also a resort to the North of the Island called Agios Georgios so watch out when map reading or asking for directions and remember that you are staying in St George South.

“Pure Bliss.” On arrival at Jasmine Cottage me and my sister couldnt be more delighted, it is set in beautiful tranquil surroundings with a beautiful patio area overlooking a huge lemon tree and open fields. The inside of Jasmine cottage is just as impressive, clean, bright, modern and spacious with everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday.....including washing machine, hairdryer,iron and info about the island. Overall we had a fantastic time and have already re-booked for next year. Highly recommended.

“Peaceful, rural location yet close to beach, shops & tavernas” Jasmine Cottage is situated amongst Greek family homes, overlooking open meadowland and olive trees, and with easy access to the south of the island. There is a small supermarket within 2 mins walk which is ideal for those who self cater - as we did for some of the 11 days we were there. The small town of Agios Georgios South has plenty of tavernas catering to all tastes; we specifically enjoyed the fish tavernas and Makis taverna which were superb value for money, service excellent and the food was fresh. The cottage was light, fresh, well equipped and comfortable for 2 sharing; would have been ok for an additional child, but with only a curtain separating the kitchen/living area from the bedroom would not give privacy if the 3rd person was a friend (unless you know them intimately!). The terrace and garden was wonderful and we spent a couple of days just relaxing and unwinding, reading in the sun and shade. We watered the garden to save the couple who provide maintenance for the property coming out each day - and we enjoyed this home from home. The best beach for us was at the far south east end where there were rocks for snorkelling and where for the most part we had the beach to ourselves (no good for those who want umbrellas, beach chairs etc. but for isolation and peace - perfect). The lake and that end of the beach was great for walks and wildlife. The village of Agios Matthaios is worth a visit as it is a Corfiot working village - we had coffee in the main street on several occasions, meeting up with local people for a stilted conversation about politics, health, sport etc. and made friends with a retired man who we now keep in touch with on Facebook. Best thing: being with Greek people who live there permanently, cleanliness & contemporary interior of the cottage and proximity to beaches, supermarket, harbour and working Corfiot villages. Worst thing: sadness at the political state of Greece and how it is affecting local businesses; difficulty sleeping if you have very noisy neighbours who play loud music (we only had this one night, and to be fair, we like to retire earlyish 10.30pm and get up early, so are not typical holidaymakers). We would love to return to this cottage and area in future and would recommend it - you need a car, and need to get out and experience the mountains, local villages, beaches etc, and visit Corfu town. We have been going to Greece (islands and mainland) for 35 yrs and love being with the local people - this cottage met all our requirements.

Guestbook for Jasmine Cottage

*Corfu was great & we liked St Georges very much, especially the many tavernas. They are great for people watching.
You have done a great job with the villa. It was perfect and felt like home. So glad I booked somewhere with air-con! We spent most late afternoons and early evenings sunning ourselves on the patio at the back with a book and a beer.
Peter & Bridget

*Love coming back to St Georges and now we have stayed at your cottage for the last few summers it feels even more like a home from home for us! Just wish I was on that beautiful veranda now...watching the sunset! Thanks again, Linda & James London.

*Thank you for a wonderful holiday at Jasmine Cottage. Both the Island and the accommodation exceeded all expectation, and we very much hope to book your cottage again.
Thanks for all your help, and making the cottage such a lovely place to stay, we will be recommending it to friends and family.
Justine & Chris

*The best way we have spent our May Bank holiday in years! Wish we could have stayed for longer as Jasmine cottage is beautiful as is St Georges. Have already booked up for a longer holiday at Jasmine later this year - can't wait! Thanks again for everything.
