A TUI rep will make visits to your hotel. Holidays here also come with 24/7 support on the TUI app and by phone. Find out more about our service while you're away.
Just so you know, owing to the location of this complex being on a hill, with only steps and no lifts, the layout of this hotel may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
Rooms here are very laid back and simple. They are decorated in light soft colours with bold accents. You'll have a choice of twin rooms which sleep up to 2 or 3, and can have the added comfort of air-conditioning for an extra charge.
You’ll get a real feel for Greece here, with the friendly owners and traditional décor. As you relax by the pool you’ll be able to soak up the panoramic views, and if you get peckish there are traditional home-cooked dishes on offer for you to try. And to top it all off there's a weekly Greek night.
This little village, perched on Corfu’s northwest coast, takes you to the island’s rural side. Here you can kick back and unwind, surrounded by beautiful wooded valleys, cypress trees and olive groves. The village itself dishes up a clutch of houses and hotels, together with a few essential shops, bars and restaurants. Then you’ve got the real star of the show – the huge, golden-sand beach.
