Hi Tony
I initially discovered Quietude whilst surfing.
Chris 2 is right Corfunet.com gives details & availability.
The family also own Angela Appts.
Robert Mackay the uk contact has always been most helpful.

13 Days & counting, the whole family Pops & gran, offspring & partners & 4 grandchildren. Newcastle-corfu for 14 glorious days & nights at Quietude......or when the kids are in the pool noisytude.
Price there held as what we paid in 2008, though the flights via Essential travel are dearer, flights from the grim north are always dearer.
Transfer mini bus £180 return for all of us seems reasonable also booked cars with Sophia value plus car rental.
WQuery has vat rise made much difference to prices?

Been back a week.
Where did we eat somewhat predictable!
Evening Meals
Little Prince. 2 nights good family friendly place.
Nafsika 4 nights Great food my wife particularly likes Theodoras Moussaka & the Pastistado tastes like real home cooking the giant beans don't seem to be straight from a tin. The youvetski (the spelling may be wrong) was great, so tasty. In fact my mouth's watering now just thinking of the food there.
Spiro  a good front man.
Tasty Corner 1 night......love the Gyros plate!....wine's not bad either.

Lunches
Little Prince 1 average, enjoyed pitta with tzatsiki.
Tasty Corner 2........Gyros.
Evinos. 2 ......Good greek salad, great views friendly welcome from Yiannis & Spiro.
Angelos 1........Cheat really this is in Agios Giordios(Afionas)    great greek salad only 3.90 euros cheapest & best we had as was the tzatsiki.
Late breakfast stop Sokraki on the way to the mountain Emily's Cafe cheap for the first time ever found somewhere that sells Ginger Beer.
oZZY oil sandwich stop good for a friendly chat.

No problem with live music loud or otherwise, or even dodgy DJ's or drag acts its when the sound reverberates around the whole place after midnight ..........we all go to SS for different things we like, but I remember liking Sidari 18 years ago & look at it now!
The police at one time patrolled Sidari warning bars to either turn the music down or close the windows!
The bands in my local are loud but you barely hear them 50yrds away never mind 500yrds.
Been back a  week & still got with drawal symtoms. :(

Arrived back 19 June after a week. A typical breezy week that happens in may/June.
Avliotes village festival Sunday 14 June in the olive grove near the tennis court was amazing & a touch of the real Greece rarely seen.
Walk to Arillas the long way via the road & the return over the top is still special.
The walk to Avliotes to see the progress on the by pass was a first as was the return via the football pitch to the tennis courts.
Drive up the mountain to Pantocrator showed how much roads all over the island have improved.
Agios Georgios retains a quiet charm with good cheap greek food at Angelos.
Unfortunately for me San Stefanos IS changing however & not in my view for the better!    The strip between condor & the Athens bar is becoming like Sidari.
The band in the Athens bar sounded fine I could hear them at Kapetanios until well after midnight. Would not mind seeing them at my local on a Friday night but not in SS shared with the rest of the resort, Rockin in the free world is not my favourite track at the best of times & certainly not in my appt with shutters & windows closed 500yrds away.
I know its personal taste & preference but when other bar owners start to try & out do Nickos will our little gem in the north west loose something?
Despite that still looking at Quietude again for two weeks next year with the whole family....hoping the wing is in a different direction.

Hi Jules
Last minute packing!
2005 we had a great week at Kapetanios, daughter partner & grandson were in Sidari & spent most of the time with us in the superior pool.
First stayed in SS 1992? think the appts were called Leonidas? they're a little further into the village below Kapetanios......that was a great two weeks travelled the whole island Lake korisson, pantokrator & old perithea, Krini & Corfu town.
This time tomorrow will be having ouzo night cap.
                            Cheers
