Cutting it in Corfu – stay in a hotel

The most luxurious is the Grecotel Corfu Imperial in Kommeno. The official rating is five star and the hotel has all the facilities and amenities expected of such a rating. It has both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, two restaurants, four bars including one at the poolside and live music. There is also the obligatory fitness centre and sauna, steam room, beauty treatments and tennis courts. All rooms have air conditioning, en suite bathroom and in-room fridge.

The hotel is pure luxury. Standing alone on a small peninsula it is surrounded by olive trees and lush gardens, enjoying an uninterrupted view over the Ionian Sea. All rooms have this view over the sea – not a boast that many hotels can make. There are private coves and sandy beaches in the hotel grounds and the ancient town of Corfu is only nine km away.

The transfer from Corfu airport takes just twenty minutes. You can book through Sovereign Holidays or direct with the hotel and find flights through Easyjet.
