Hotels Near Chalikounas - Monastery hike in Corfu

Το διαχρονικό αυτό ξενοδοχείο της Κέρκυρας (μη συγχέεται με το Corfu Palace) βρίσκεται έναντι αεροδρομίου με όμορφη θέα προς εκείνο και τη λιμνοθάλασσα από τη μια και προς τον κήπο από την πίσω μεριά. Είναι ιδανικό για παρέες/ οικογένειες ως τρία άτομα σε ένα δωμάτιο. Τα δωματια είναι σχετικά ευρύχωρα, κατακάθαρα, χωρίς όμως αναγκαία ηχομόνωση. Ο εξοπλισμός σε τηλεόραση, πρίζες είναι ξεπερασμένος. Το μπάνιο είναι καλό με ακαλαίσθητης πόρτες (χωρίς ηχομόνωση επίσης). Λείπει μαλακτικό μαλλιών αν και το νερό της Κέρκυρας θεωρείται σκληρό. Το πρωινό είναι καλό και ο υπεύθυνος στην είσοδο τυπικός Έλληνας του τουρισμού, φιλόξενος και φιλότιμος (παλαιός κοπής).Ωραίος εξωτερικός χώρος και κήπος σε συνέχεια με τον χώρο πρωινού. Ο κήπος γενικότερα θα μπορούσε να είναι και πιο φροντισμένος και η παιδική χαρά πιο γενναιόδωρη για παιδιά (αλλά είναι αμφίβολο αν αυτή είναι η σκοπιμότητα του ξενοδοχείου). Η πισίνα, καθαρή με όμορφο αν και στενάχωρο περιβάλλοντα χώρο.Διαθέτει ναυαγοσώστη! Το μπαρ θυμίζει λίγο πλοίο στη γραμμή Ελλάδα-Ιταλία και θα μπορούσε να είναι πιο ευχάριστο και πολυτελές. Κρύος καφές αδιάφορος. Δεν δοκιμάσαμε το εστιατόριο, αλλά πλησίον του ξενοδοχείου δεν υπάρχει εστιατόριο ούτε για δείγμα. Η εσωτερική σάλα είναι λιτή και καθαρή. Ο χωρίς στάθμευσης επίσης οριακά επαρκής για το μέγεθος επισκεψιμότητας του ξενοδοχείου. Η ρεσεψιόν μάλλον χλιαρή και απρόσωπη. Η σχέση τιμής/ποιότητας είναι υποφερτή. Αλλά σίγουρα το ξενοδοχείο θέλει σύντομα αναβάθμιση για να ανταποκρίνεται στην τιμή του.

Perfect hotel for a few nights with a quick walk to the center of town. There is a small bar with outdoor seating that's perfect for a quick drink at the end of the night. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back when we return to Corfu

We stayed here for a long weekend in June 2023. We had a beachfront room, very spacious with a sliding door separating the main living area from a twin bedded area, ideal for a family. The room was very well appointed and spacious and clean. The restaurants were all very good, quality of food and choice of wine impressive. The breakfast in particular was very good, it was fairly busy when we went but we never had to wait for a table and the breakfast team were super helpful , friendly and efficient in finding us a table. The breakfast was one of the best that we’ve had, a huge array of hot and cold food, I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t available. The staff throughout the resort were courteous, friendly and helpful. There are sun beds and parasols on the sandy beach which was clean and tidy. The bar area was also welcoming and well appointed. The hotel is a 10-15 walk from a marina that had a few bars and restaurants and about 10-15 in a taxi into Corfu town which has huge array of eateries, shops, bars etc. There is a water taxi at the jetty on the beach that can take you to a number of restaurants, all of which were wonderful. The only minor criticism I would have is that the concierge team seemed a little clueless, not having any restaurant recommendations or even knowledge of the water taxi service which we found a little odd. George on the front desk came to the rescue with information and help. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel for couples, friends or family and will definitely return.

We stayed here for a week as part of an EasyJet package and could not have been more thrilled with the hotel; spacious, incredibly clean, well appointed and staffed by some of the loveliest people. We had two superior garden view rooms and the views were indeed superior! Both had balconies and very effective air conditioning (included in the cost of the room) and the beds were very comfy. Small but perfectly formed bathrooms (with showers) which looked like they had been recently refurbished. Buffet breakfast was also included and was extensive; usual continental fare plus cooked dishes and even cake and baklava! (Top tip for those who like their British cuppa - take your own tea bags and a travel mug so you can make yourself a decent brew in the morning ;-) ) Beautiful grounds, well kept and a fantastic pool (open 9am -8pm) with plenty of loungers and chairs/ tables on the terrace with a choice of shady spots to cope with the very hot weather. The pool bar, serving drinks and a decent lunch menu was very good and fairly reasonably priced (for a tourist location). But what really made the stay was the staff - so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The only slightly disappointing thing was that the restaurant no longer opens in the evenings and therefore the 'Greek night' advertised on the hotel website did not happen. It's also worth noting that Gouvia town and beach is down a *very* steep (although short) hill and across a frankly terrifying road - not so bad on the way down but a bit punishing on the way back up, especially in 37 degree heat! The town itself is quite run down and not the prettiest spot, although several very good eateries and beautiful warm sea to swim in - and seemed to be mostly catering to large groups of Scandinavian students - but this is not the fault of the hotel! Buses run to both Corfu Town and (in the other direction) to stunning Paleokastritsa very regularly, although they are often extremely busy (probably due to the cheap fares). All in all - excellent value for money, a beautiful and friendly hotel and a lovely stay!
