2 Best Hotels in Corfu, Greece

Name: Siora Vittoria Boutique Hotel
Address: Stefanou Padova 36, Corfu Town, Corfu, 49100, Greece
Telephone: 26610-36300
Price range: $$

Corfu has bed-and-breakfast hotels in renovated Venetian town houses, sleek resorts with children's programs and spas, and, outside Corfu town, simple rooms and studio apartments that can be rented out on the spot. The explosion of tourism in recent years has led to prepaid, low-price package tours, and the largest hotels often cater to groups. The availability of charter flights from the United Kingdom and other European cities means there's a steady flow of tourists from spring through fall. These masses can get rowdy and overwhelm otherwise pleasant surroundings, mainly in towns along the island's southeast and northwest coast. Budget accommodation is scarce, though rooms can sometimes be found in towns and villages. Many British companies offer villas and apartments for rent—some luxurious, others more basic—by the week or month. Corfu is popular from Easter (when the island is crammed with Greek tourists) through September, and reservations are strongly recommended during that period. Many hotels and restaurants are closed from the end of October to Easter.

Siora Vittoria Boutique Hotel

$$ | Stefanou Padova 36, Corfu Town, 49100, Greece Fodor's Choice

Right in the heart of Corfu's historic center and just a minute's walk away from the Liston, this aristocratic town house–turned-hotel was built in 1823, and has its Venetian style still well-preserved. The hotel retains, for example, such elements as the original checkerboard tile floor, the walled garden, and the original staircase while adding the personalization you'd expect from a boutique hotel. Rooms are decorated in soft, warm colors, with walls adorned with old prints and paintings, and antiques accenting the cozy lounge and breakfast room. Each of the rooms—seven in the main house and two in an annex—are artistically appointed and equipped with some nice up-to-date facilities. Plus, the garden proves to be a haven of peace right in the center of the city. Though the hotel does not serve any meals except breakfast, there are a number of excellent restaurants a short walk away.

Pelecas Country Club

$$ | Epar. Od. Pelekas-Kastellanion, Pelekas, 49100, Greece

Some say this small boutique property can feel a bit elitist; it certainly emphasizes its aristocratic Corfiot heritage tradition in the setting of an old family mansion—the house was built for the family of current owner Nikos Velianitis and is lovingly set amid 50 acres of olive and cypress trees. In addition to the main house, which has the dining room and "presidential suite," bungalows and studios have been created in former olive press buildings, stables, and warehouses. All of them are richly decorated with family heirlooms from England and Russia. All have large verandas overlooking the gardens or meadows; and all have kitchens.
