Conveniently situated in Agios Ioannis Peristeron, on the beautiful and bright island of Corfu, this stunning accommodation is the ideal place to stay when visiting this destination. Nestled on the green mountain, visitors will be enchanted by the breath-taking natural surroundings and the blue Ionian Sea that extends right in front of the establishment. Corfu’s town centre is 16 kilometres away and Corfu International Airport is at around 15 kilometres away. All the air-conditioned rooms are fully equipped with modern amenities such as a satellite TV and boast great views to the sea, the hotel’s swimming pool or the mountain. The property offers several dining venues such as a restaurant, a lobby bar and a pool bar. Among other facilities, travellers may pamper themselves with a refreshing swim at the saltwater, outdoor swimming pool.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Where to begin.... First of all we were dropped off on the side of the road with a 5 month old baby, pushchair, 2 cases, a travel cot and 3 hand luggage bags.. when there was a drive up ramp to the hotel that would not have taken any longer to drop us off at. We then were met with stairs up to the hotel with steep wooden ramps ( which were slippery and half rotten) to try and push the pushchair up.. which really was not safe, especially after some rain. The hotel itself is not accesible and pushchair friendly at all. They do have lifts up to the room , however that does not go down to the pool area or restaurant.. you will either have to use the lethal make shift ramp outside or carry your pushchair down a flight of stairs. The room itself is very dated, we were given a cot bed but luckily had taken our own as the mattress was stained with God knows what! Not what you want to be putting your child into. I thought about taking a blow up bath for the baby and decided against it thinking I was being excessive and would just shower with the baby instead. To then be greeted by the smallest shower cubicle you can ever find with a shower that either jet washes you with a force of knots or trickles out with no power. That's if the water is actually working of course! We had one morning without any water in our room. The stench of drains in the bathrooms is disgusting. We had to put a towel over the top of the cover on the floor.. but that didn't stop the smell. Our room was only cleaned once all holiday as the maids came round between half 4 and 5 everyday.. Just as you are trying to get ready for dinner. Which leads me to the restaurant... food is the same every day ( you expect as much with all inclusive) however if you are fussy eaters you will struggle to find anything to eat unless you like spaghetti or chips every day. The food is also cold... however they do provide a Microwave so you can heat your food up!! The restaurant is also very crowded and not enough room for the size of the hotel. The Evening entertainment doesn't start until 9pm until around 11pm, however it is deafeningly loud even in your rooms, with all the doors and curtains shut. Which makes it very difficult to get children to sleep/ stay asleep. You can also hear all the noise from adjoining rooms and the hallway with doors slamming and loud chatting at all hours. If you want to go into the old town a taxi will cost around 50 euros, or you can catch a bus which is only 5 euros return. However to get to the bus stop you must walk 5 minutes down the road, with no path, narrow roads and cars, lorries and buses flying past you round corners. So if you have a pushchair or someone not very agile it can be very hair raising!! And they also cram that many people onto the buses you are unable to move! Luckily the hotel is the last stop and so is the old town, so you dont have to push past people to get off. The only saving grace of this hotel for us was the staff, and the view from the hotel. Everybody that we spoke to was very good with us and our baby. I would seriously consider before booking this hotel... especially if you are not very agile or have very small children. It is most definitely NOT a 4 star hotel. I would say 3 star at a very push!
Ok just got back from Corfu Benetis Honest review
Food appalling AI Drinks lousy Dated Pool to small for size hotel Showers limited with hot water Beds are rock hard Very steep stairs going to beach which is across the road not much of beach but beautiful calm peaceful to swim. So if you all inclusive you would have to walk across a very busy dangerous road everytime you wanted a drink or something to eat or even the toilet. No pavements to walk to the centre DO NOT try walking extremely dangerous. So it’s taxis or buses.
Choice of food was lame. It’s says 4 stars I give it a 1 at a very strong push a 2
Definatley not child friendly or walking difficulties. Honest review
We stay at this hotel for a week and put it this way I would say it’s more hostel than hotel. The first room we had they was liquid around the bottom of the toilet, the toilet as never ever seen bleach or cleaning products ever or a brush. There was mould on the shower walls on the shower head and they had silicone sealed over mould on the bottom of the shower. They was never and I mean in the whole 7 days we was there no hot water at all, it was freezing, then sometimes the pressure of the water was so chuffing powerful and sometimes it was like what’s the point. Turn the tap on and the water smelt of dirty drains while you was brushing your teeth, it made you feel so sick. The bed wow, a double is 2 singles pushed together and then 2 single mattress on each bed a big one then a small one on top. The top mattress at a dip in it so you got in that dip you needed pulling out cause you was stuck there otherwise, they was also dunk beds in the room and the sheets had poo on them, it was awful, we was meant to have a garden view which was the staff accommodation we looked at and saw them all the time plus crickets like been in the room more than outside. Food well if you want to eat the same thing all your holiday then good cause that’s what you will be and the bonus is it’s never warm or hot at all so enjoy the cold food. The pool area the pool is freezing never warm so brace yourself for that, the floor area around the pool isn’t cleaned ever not once was it and there’s alsorts on that floor, spills, cig ends, glass and the stones are chipped so you need to wear footwear walking around there. The only plus I can say is the views wow it’s gorgeous is the views, I didn’t even want to give this place a star but the views get the star and that’s it
Very very good hotel osm nice endless
