Most Corfu visitors face the same dilemma when they start booking: do you stay on the beach or in the Old Town? Each side wins something and loses something. Corfu Beach and Town takes that choice off the table — the host runs two distinct rentals, one of each, and many guests now split their week between them. We list the operator as a CorfuRide partner because that pairing is unusual, well-executed and answers a real travel pattern.

Acharavi Beach House
A 2-bedroom house directly on Acharavi Beach in the north of Corfu, with a private terrace, sea view and direct beach access. No road to cross, no walk through traffic — the sand starts at the property line. Acharavi itself is one of the longest sandy beaches on the island, with shallow water and easy parking, making it a particularly strong pick for families with younger children.
Corfu Old Town Studio
A studio apartment in a traditional building in the heart of Corfu Old Town, with kitchen, balcony and walking distance to the Spianada, the Liston, both Venetian fortresses and the main museums. The base for travellers who care more about evening tavernas, Easter processions and a morning espresso under colonnades than about a sun-lounger.
Why we recommend them
The CorfuRide test
- Two distinct corners of Corfu, one host — practical for travellers who want both halves of the island in a single trip.
- Direct booking via corfubeachandtown.com avoids OTA fees; the host responds personally on WhatsApp.
- Beachfront not "near beach" — the Acharavi house is genuinely on the sand, which is rare in the price band.
- Old Town inside the historic core — most "Old Town" rentals are actually a 10-minute walk away. This one is in the centre.
- Cross-trip flexibility — split a 10-day visit easily: 4 nights culture in town, 6 nights wind-down at the beach.
Split-the-week trip plan
The most popular approach with returning guests is to combine both properties in one trip, in this order:
Days 1–4 · Old Town Studio
Arrive at Corfu Airport, settle in the historic centre, do museums, fortresses, food walks and the Easter or summer festivals if your dates align.
Days 5–10 · Acharavi Beach House
Move north (about 40 minutes by car), wind down, do day-trips to the northern villages, Kassiopi, Sidari and the Canal d'Amour.
Coordinating both stays is straightforward — message the host once and they line up the dates and the changeover.
Where each sits on the island
- Acharavi (north coast) — long sandy beach, calmer Ionian water, family-friendly. About 40 minutes' drive from Corfu Town and the airport, 15 minutes from Sidari and Kassiopi.
- Corfu Old Town — UNESCO World Heritage centre, 4 km from the airport, walking distance to the New Port. The studio is in the heart of the historic district, not on the perimeter.
