We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay in this hotel. The hotel is spotlessly clean throughout and the rooms are very comfortable. We enjoyed the large outdoor dining terrace where we were able to have both breakfast and evening meal. All the waiters and bar staff are super friendly and efficient, nothing is too much trouble for them and the food is excellent. We really enjoyed the weekly BBQ and, unlike some hotels, where you have to grab food before it runs out it was plentiful all evening. Breakfast is a good choice of hot and cold items. Tea and coffee is brought to the table as soon as you are seated and even better it was in a pot that was big enough for two cups for two people so you didn't need to catch the waiters attention for a second cup. The location is perfect, only a 10 minute walk into the town and in the other direction there is a lovely 1.5km walk along a wide pavement to the little windmill where you will find bars and cafes scattered along the way. The transfer from the airport is only 10-15 minutes and yet there is no disturbance from the aircraft. The grounds and pool area are restful and sunbeds plentiful along with fresh pool towels every day. We loved the relaxed feel to the hotel but it won't be for you if you want entertainment and loud music. The live music around the bar in the evening was lovely, it was quiet enough for people to continue their conversations but at a sufficient volume to listen to. We just wished we'd discovered this hotel years ago and, assuming the hotel doesn't change it's ethos after the refurbishment, we'll be back.

An elegant family run hotel with a fabulous location,views and service Many reviews quite rightly say that the hotel is a little tired and needs some TLC. The good news is that the hotel closed on October 7 for a major refurbishment of all the bedrooms which will take several months. Our problem was that we booked a 10 day holiday which coincidentally ended with the day the hotel closed down. The first 6 days were wonderful. Unfortunately during the last few days the hotel seemed to go into “rundown “ mode. Dishes on the menu and even drinks at the bar became unavailable. The choice of the little pots of jam at breakfast slowly reduced until the last day there was just one. This is the reason it can only be given a 4 star rating. However, after the renovation and it reopens I’m sure it will be a 5 star hotel. A message for the hotel. Please ensure that the bedrooms will now have tea and coffee making facilities. Also a dress code in the main elegant restaurant should be enforced. Shorts and tee shirts don’t seem right and should be restricted to outdoor seating.

“A lovely hotel with great staff”

The position is fantastic, overlooking the sea and harbour and un easy walking distance of Corfu old town and its restaurants etc. Some reviews have said that the hotel is tired but I think exhausted would be more accurate.

The position is fantastic, overlooking the sea and harbour and un easy walking distance of Corfu old town and its restaurants etc. Some reviews have said that the hotel is tired but I think exhausted would be more accurate. Our rooms on the 3rd floor were dated, the AC worked when it wanted to, the bathroom was adequate but I wouldn’t feel safe if we were unsteady on our feet. But enough negatives. The hotel is, we were told by staff, about to be shut down for a major refurb so I’m sure it will be a wonderful hotel once the work has been done. The greatest positives about the hotel undoubtedly are the staff , they were all excellent - efficient, polite, helpful and good humoured. I’ve rarely seen better. And the pool is excellent and the sun-beds are plentiful and comfortable!
