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.
Simply perfect!
Beautiful place to spend your vacation at.
Hospitality,generosity and kindness of the people who run this place is what I like the most.
Besides that, you will definitely enjoy in a perfect view to the sea from the balcony.
You can, literally, see the sea straight out of you bed!!!
Room was the cleanest that I have ever spent a vacation at!
Staying in Lidovois while visiting Corfu Island is what I’d advise to everybody who has ever been thinking about the trip to this incredible island!
Sofia is a terrific host who is always happy to help when you need anything. She even drove us to a restaurant before the kitchen closed on our first night there, which not many people would do.
The villa has a great view and is quite conveniently located. Pelekas, Glyfada beach, and Mirtiotissa beach are all a 30 minute walk from the property, so you can traverse easily enough by foot.
The private pool is a good size and the garden is lovely with several seating options.
Such a great vacation we have spent thanks to Yaliskari personnel, food, fresh air, amazing view, clean and cool water. Do not miss the opportunity to go for a boat trip (visiting a dosen of various places mostly breathtaking beaches) from Kontogialos beach near Monastery Hotel for only 50 EUR. You may also visit Kaiser William II Observatory, the highest mountain in the area. In case you need food and water supply, Pelekas Supermarket is near Kontogialos beach as well.
Very peaceful surrounding near Pelekas. The garden is nice and well kept. The apartment was also clean. If you like a quiet place far from the city noises then this is the best choice. Also Corfu city is easy to reach by car as it is not very far from it. Me and my kids had a great time there. The host are also very friendly and caring. As we arrived in the middle of the night, I have asked them to do some basic food shopping for us and it was no problem.
Another excellent stay in at Milena's Country House - the house is beautiful maintaining a country charm while also having modern touches. The view from the balcony is amazing. George and Sofia are excellent hosts, friendly and welcome. We will definitely be back :-)
Pelekas is also a great location to stay, village location but with several cafes and restaurants within walking distance.
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.
Nice appartement on probably the best beach in Corfu not too crowded. George the landlord is just great. Very helpful with a big smile. Brought us some tomatoes, bread and wine and even travelled all the way from Corfu city one evening when we were locked outside with the keys inside. Thanks again George! 😄
The owner is very friendly. The room had all the amenities you could think of and then some more. It is very close to the beach. I was given a free bottle of wine. The AC blows cold, the bed is big and soft, the water is warm, the fridge had marmalade and butter inside.
Yaliskari is a little piece of restoration. Gorgeous relaxing location out of the frenetic tourist trail. Just beautiful scenery, a sandy beach, delicious food, and a great crew at the Tavern. Already dreaming about when I can return, a week wasn't long enough.
The beach was great and in general, Corfu offers a wide variaty of places to enjoy the stay. Hotel catering was fine with a wide selection of meals to choose from. WIFI was running well even on the beach. The Hotel staff was polite and helpful.
Beautiful apartment with fantastic views of beach. Furniture, facilities, everything about Lidovois House is exceptional and very good value. The host family are lovely people. They took very good care of me. Thank you Spyros and family.
the view was incredible. The room was fresh and modern. the kitchen was very well equipped. The balcony I could sit for hours. Antigoni and team were all very helpful and also arranged a taxi to Corfu Town last minute for us.
Spotlessly clean, excellent location, quiet, nice view and good access to all of corfu by car. Zoi and her parents went totally the extra mile to help us with whatever we needed.
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.
Owner is amazing - responsive, welcoming, attentive but not intrusive and, as she grew up in Pelekas, offers excellent advice on restaurants, activities, etc.
This is a really nice property, nested in a lovely village at an easy reach of many lovely beaches and the Old Town. The staff is absolutely wonderful.
