Vila Marinos appartementen — Hotel in Municipality of Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands

Last september we booked a last-minute 10 day trip to Corfu. After reading good reviews about Hotel Marinos we decided to give it a try. The room was very basic but clean. The location was quite a (steep) walk from the tiny centre of Kato Korakiana and for people who don't drive like us, an intense exercise. But that's not what really bothered us... Apparently we were the last visitors of the season and it showed. Towels were only changed once during our stay and the sheets weren't changed at all. We had to ask three times before we got new toilet paper, and owner Marinos told us that normally we had to buy it our self... The hotel was almost empty but still had quite some disturbance at night from the owner and his family who lived next to our room. The swimming pool was dirty and as such not usable. Marinos was friendly and welcoming and offered us coffee on several occasions. But he likes hearing himself talk a lot and reminds you frequently that he's a real communist. Because we are Belgian he also like to remind us the sorry state of Greece at the moment was all the fault of Brussels. Funny at first, but it gets tedious rather quick. He only speaks Greek and German. Luckily I speak some German but my wife doesn't, so not so cool for her. The weather wasn't that great as well so all in all not the best trip we made to lovely Greece.||||PS: There was a wifi-ap outside our room so I guess they had wifi. But because I am a web developer and spend lots of hours a day on the net, I want to be completely offline during...

We booked this as we did not want to be in the middle of a resort and as I knew the area from years ago we felt that this property would suit us and, indeed it did!||||From the moment we arrived Marinos and his daughter Maria were so helpful and were always available if needed. ||||The studio itself was very spacious, spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen area was newly refurbished with a filter coffee machine and there was ample space for clothes in the wardrobes and drawers.||||The mature gardens were a delight with all sorts of mature shrubs and fruit trees but the pool area was my favourite part as it was so pretty and very quiet; most days we were the only people there.||||It was a short walk to the village which had a supermarket and several tavernas and bars but I would say that a car or moped would be essential when staying here. ||||All in all we had a lovely, relaxed stay here and I would recommend it to anyone who does not want to be in the middle of a resort. I hope that we...

Lovely clean hotel with fabulous mountain views, and a lovely swimming pool. Excellently located just outside Dassia and close to Kato Korakiania and it's bars, Tavernas and supermarket. Handy for the whole island and it's many beauty spots. Car or moped essential. ||I suggest that the other moaning Belgians should research where they are going before they travel and stop moaning about their own inadequacies. It's hardly the hotels fault that they are so stupid. ||Maria and Marinos are lovely people and were a delight to talk to in their many languages, and they made sure we had everything we needed for a lovely...
