10 hotels for a charming holiday in Corfu

With the Sky Loft Corfu, you could easily spend your entire holiday in Corfu, the island's capital. What could be better than staying right in the heart of a Venetian-style old town, listed by UNESCO, and even better, under the roofs?

A charming pied-à-terre, the Sky Loft Corfu flats are both modern and comfortable, fully equipped for a totally independent stay. A sure bet.

A charming guest house where you least expect it... The Merchants House has opened its doors in the former ghost village of Palea Perithia, on the slopes of Mount Pantokrator, bringing it back to life in the process!

The Merchants House is one of those special places in Corfu, an accommodation with a unique character, far from the tourist hustle and bustle of the coast. A real experience.

The sunsets on Corfu's west coast are famous for their beauty: with the Pictures Suites, you have a front row seat every day! Thanks to its location, this establishment boasts an unbeatable view over the sea, towards the resort of Agios Stefanos.

You can choose from a range of ultra-comfortable suites, where every detail has been thought of to ensure your well-being. The little extra: direct access to the beach!

If you're a regular visitor to Greece, you'll know that the best places to find well-located, friendly and, what's more, cheap studios are in small guesthouses! Aris Apartments in Paleokastritsa is a perfect example.

In these well-maintained studios, equipped with all the essentials for a holiday, you'll never tire of the sea views from the terrace. Ideal for those who shun the big resorts in favour of more authentic addresses.

The Nikos & Vivi Studios is another typical Greek guesthouse, which seems a little lost among the olive trees: the setting is green and calm, just like Corfu's south-west coast.

Not far from this friendly guesthouse, Marathias beach is a daily fixture: a huge sandy beach, it is reputed to be one of the most beautiful on the whole island.

Paleokastritsa is second to none on Corfu: a lively, friendly seaside resort with a superb natural backdrop. Just a stone's throw from the main beach, the Zefiros Traditional Hotel is the perfect address to make the most of it.

Here, charm rhymes with simplicity, in this family-run establishment where the welcome is always warm. Beautifully appointed, with the added bonus of excellent value for money.

Sometimes, certain addresses don't look like much, but turn out to be the most charming stops on a trip to Corfu. This is certainly the case at the Thomas Art Hotel, which is unanimously acclaimed by its guests.

Quietly situated in the traditional village of Pelekas, the Thomas Art Hotel stands out for the quality of its welcome, its warm, colourful rooms and its breathtaking views over Corfu's west coast. Worth a try!

This is how to turn a beachfront hotel into an authentic boutique hotel full of charm: meticulous decoration, modern comforts, attention to detail and impeccable service are the hallmarks of the Eleals Boutique Hotel.

Thanks to these services, it seems that the private beach next to the hotel and the friendliness of the reception staff are just bonuses, even though they play a full part in making your stay a success.

The charm of the Rodostamo Hotel & Spa, set in the lively seaside resort of Limni, can also be found in its top-of-the-range, 5-star hotel-style facilities.

Whether you opt for a room, a bungalow or a villa, everything is done at Rodostamo Hotel & Spa to make your stay as relaxing as possible: swimming pool, spa, restaurant, the list of services is as long as it is complete!

On the north-east coast of Corfu, at the foot of Mount Pantokrator, the setting is superb. This is where you'll find the Krouzeri Beach Apartments, aptly named: the hotel's garden connects directly to the beach!

A family-run establishment celebrating Greek hospitality, Krouzeri Beach Apartments offers attractive, fully-equipped flats with balconies and stunning sea views.
