The location was incredible, the pool terrace overlooking the sea was just sublime especially when the Monday night jazz band played there, it was just perfect, there was a great choice of food and drinks, plus a very handy shop that sells everything you need, staff at the hotel were great too..the whole place felt "classy" as no drunk loud mouthed tourists thank god, I loved it there.
Skafonas is surrounded by a lush garden with blooming flowers, almond, cherry and apricot trees, in the area between the traditional village Sinarades and the famous Pelekas village.

Had a lovely night here whilst walking the Corfu trail. Really good beds and a gorgeous view overlooking the sea. Nikos want super friendly and quick in his replies, we felt very well taken care of.
Also cool: they have grapevines practically on the beach! Wow! Never ever have we seen that before.

We decided to base ourselves in Pelekas because of its vicinity both to Corfu town and to the beaches. However, the way back from the beach to the village is very steep and not convenient for children and older people. The beautiful village could be a lot nicer if traffic would be banned, since the streets are very narrow.

Our room had clearly not been renovated for the past 30+years, with broken tiles everywhere badly patched with glue/silicon (arguably a health and safety hazard), a bed with more broken springs than those still working (we slept only a few hours, if any), a shower that at peak usage time would get lukewarm at best (we called reception and they sent through a handy man at around 7pm who said it is usual for them to run out of hot water when everyone at the hotel is having showers, but it would usually come back in the next 2/3 hours). Also, our room was next to the large outdoor aircon units which were incredibly loud and they were blowing air upwards/towards our balcony (major covid risk), hence why we couldn't even make use of the one positive aspect of the hotel.
Also, there was a general smell of sewage throughout the facility, including our bathroom, which became unbearable at "peak shower times".
The all-inclusive package (there was no à la carte restaurant, shut due to Covid, even though the description on Booking is clearly talking of a second à la carte restaurant) was absolutely below expectations. We stayed at other 5-star hotels in Corfu a couple of nights before and after (we only experienced one dinner and one breakfast as we ran away ASAP) and the food at both was just miles ahead. To provide one simple example, the cut-up fruit provided was all canned (in syrup) fruit, as opposed to freshly cut fruit (provided at both other 5-star hotels). Also, for drinks there was only water, fizzy drinks, house wine and house beer all from a self-service tap - for anything else from a menu, you would need to prepay the tab on your room, which could only be done at reception (which is something I had never heard of/experienced before for anything above 3-stars!), which was a 10 min walk up from the restaurant.

Pelekas is not, as such, the target of a trip but if you like family beach it is totally suitable for you ; if you like family naturism the beaches are very nice at Mirtitiossa (15 mn) or Issos (40 mn) ; if you like geographic tourism Pelekas is central !

If you go to Pelekas I really recommend to rent a boat on Ermones beach, you will have an unforgettable experience, People are warm and friendly. Go to Aqualand, a great water park but make sure to go there for a whole day. 3 hours will not be enough! Go spend some cool time at Villa Myrto!
If you come to this area without a car, you will be sorry. A car is a MUST have!!

Beautiful village.
Beautiful village. We prefer somewhere less touristy and Pelekas was perfect. I am sure corona virus may have effected how busy the village was but I don’t think the charm would be lost if it was busier. Lovely selection of tavernas to enjoy dinner and we enjoyed some beautiful Greek wine and cocktails at the small little bar next to the church in the centre. Great rooftop terrace not to be missed. I would recommend a car to reach the beaches. We walked back from the beach one day and once was enough in the heat! Top top, get your sun loungers at Spyros on the beach at Pelekas/Kontogialos beach and don’t miss the calamari Or grilled octopus on the menu for lunch!! Glyfada beach wasn’t a patch on Pelekas, give it a miss. Not to be missed is watching the sunset from Kaisers Throne!! Worth the walk up the hill, grab a beer on the way!!

It's good location as base for trip around Corfu island (not the north part of island, but i think that the central and south part of island is prettier), only 20 minutes by car to the Kerkyra, a lot of beaches on west coast.
We visited a lot of tavernas - for examples Staurodromi - very good meal, very kind staff.
I do not know where to start from. The best accommodation in Corfu with the kindest hosts. Everything is so beautiful, clean and tidy, in the apartment you have everything you want, even more than you can imagine, and the view from the apartment is fantastic. A sincere recommendation for everyone to choose this accommodation. The hosts tried their best to make our vacation better and they are really wonderful! We will definitely come back here, because Anemone is better than any 5 star hotel.
We were met on arrival by the resort manager who was extremely helpful and made every effort to ensure we were taken care of. The manager made arrangements to get a hired car delivered to the apartment and assisted us with much valuable information on the island and places to visit. This made our experience of Greece unforgettable and departed with complete satisfaction. I recommend anyone visiting Corfu to look at the Bella Vista apartments. We will definitely stay there again.
This is a beautiful hotel in a quiet countryside setting. The rooms are set around the estate in separate buildings. The room was very clean and had lovely old furniture, the kitchenette was well equipped. The pool is lovely. Really lovely staff. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and served outside. Bar with light food available 12-4:30 and bar until midnight. Such a lovely spot to sit and relax. 5 mins drive to lovely village of Pelekas with lots of tavernas/cafe.
Great location right in the centre of Pelekas. There was a beautiful view looking south over Corfu from our balcony. I was pleasantly surprised by this place, as some reviewers had mentioned that it was somewhat old & tired, but our room looked like it had recently been refurbished. We were happy with it, considering what it cost. It's basic enough, but it's good value for money.
A very good option for a stopover on the Corfu Trail, as it is located right on the trail.
- The host was really nice and cared about us during the whole stay.
- The house is really comfortable and has everything you need for your vacation. From all the kitchen amenities to the pool (a bit bigger than what it looks in the pictures!), you will not be dissapointed.
- The location is quite good. Although it is not in Pélekas village, it is in a calm & nice area just a couple of minutes away from Pélekas and 10-15' from Corfu town.
Fantastic house in a lovely village with several cafes and restaurants within walking distance. The house is a perfect combination of country charm but with modern facilities including recently refitted kitchen and bathrooms. Excellent hosts with great communication in advance of the stay and on hand to answer questions during our stay. The views from the terrace are stunning. We would definitely return here on our next trip to Corfu.
The host and his family are excellent, since it’s a bit tricky to go to their place by public tranportation. Stephan sent his mom to pick us up at bus station. Then we arrived at this amazing house, with amazing pool ( amazing temperature control), and Stephan has this beach club that offers best food ever and amazing sandy beach. ( also they have the best Wifi) Highly recommend anyone who wants a chill and fun time in corfu!
Amazing location, close to sand beach, room comfortable, amazing staff. This family hotel has own atmosphere, you can find there your own space, terrace, corner... what do you want.
Every day typical greek breakfast, possibility to have fresh "catch of the day" for lunch or dinner.
If you like movie "Mamma Mia" you must love this place. We love it :-)
The location above Pelekas provided panoramic views to east and west coasts. The pool was quite nice as well as the breakfast buffet. Breakfast staff was sweet and helpful although very busy. Bones of building wonderful with great potential for an investor. Guests would be happy to pay more to stay at such a location.
The Resort has two swimming pools with a gorgeous view of the sea, and the beach is only a 10 minute walk or less. This walk is down a steep hill, though. The homemade wine we got as a gift was wonderful and the bed is very comfortable. The host is also very helpful, he got us a car rental.
Beautiful views. Apartment pictures and description very accurate. Beautiful beaches a close drive (we often drive with our three small kids due to heat and very steep walk! Parking was not a problem at apartment or beach. Roads are steep and winding but we were able to navigate in a van.
the location and the pool are superb. the way individual villas are arranged is excellent - take advantage of the spectacular views but provide privacy. there is even a barbecue if you fancy an outdoor cooking. lovely gardens, really friendly staff. the best place to stay on Corfu.
A huge all inclusive hotel in a fantastic place. I think that all inclusive hotels have both good and bad sides. Pelekas Monstery has really good location, friendly staff, nice cuisine and a really good offer for a family.
Great location in Pelekas , close to the village's restaurants and bars. 2nd floor room has a view of the sea from the balcony. Restaurant food is good! I would return to that hotel if I come back to visit Pelekas.
The people who run the hotel were amazing the food in the restaurant is amazing and the place is so clean and we honestly could not have picked a better place to stay it is perfect.
Amazing view, good location with nice sand beach in walking distance, great food in the restaurant, very friendly hosts, basic but efficient room and mini kitchen.
The apartment is close to the beach and a super market is just next to the house. The plce is comfortable and well equiped. It has a beautiful balbony and a view.
