Me, my husband & our 14 year old twin have just returned from here. We booked via Thomas Cook & rented a car from Corfu airport||We arrived at around 11.30pm, tired & starving! Mia met us, showed us to our rooms and then made us a home made pizza for us in the bar, which was really appreciated (along with a very large G&T!)||The rooms were basic but immaculately clean and very comfortable. We had a slightly larger room than the boys, but both were nice with good air conditioning and a fridge in it for drinks and snacks, if you wanted to buy from the shop (Lidl just 10 mins drive down the road) ||The pool area was lovely. Again immaculately clean with plenty of sun loungers, a slide and play area for the kids, with the bar area next to the pool. A short 15 minute walk away is a lovely sandy beach with restaurants en route. ||We went half board. Breakfast was continental and served till 11.30am. So much food! Bread, cold meat, eggs, cheese and coffee / juice. The evening meal was served from 6.30pm - 10pm and the choice was endless! Salad to start then a huge choice of starters and mains. Puddings ||were extra as were drinks. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. (The Baklava was to die for!) Everyone loved it and no one was ever left hungry. It was all home made and delicious! ||What makes this place so special is it’s a truly family run business. Mia and Elenor are customer facing, spoilt all the kids rotten and made you feel part of their family. Their mum and dad do all the cooking (how I don’t know as I thought they had kitchen staff but no!) Their attention to ||detail makes this place a little gem ||A few pointers - if you book, book direct with the hotel as it’s far cheaper. Definitely arrange a taxi through Mia for airport transfers and rent a car through them too as again much cheaper ||and far less stressful ||Buy a beach umbrella as all the beaches charge 15-20€ for 2 sunbeds and a brolly - jog on!! Our favourite beach was Bouka. Used more by locals and has lovely beach bar there.||Just a lovely holiday and we’ll...
Read moreMy wife and I have recently returned from a weeks holiday at this charming venue and we cannot fault the attentive service and lovely appetising food cooked a la carte to order. A tranquil, rural location lending an insight into local country life and particularly peaceful when we stayed late season. Spotlessly clean everywhere at Pension Nychterida from room to outdoor eating area and pool. Run by a family and with a small number of rooms available, one could not find a more friendly and peronalised stay, The pension status means you dont get a daily room clean and bedding change and towels are only changed twice weekly but that did not bother us particularly. If you need to sample a more lively nightlife Kavos is only a short drive by hire car. We did hire a car from Sunrise Cars were met at the airport. We drove to and from Corfu town several times and averaged 45 minutes travelling time. The walk from Nychterida to the nearby village of Marathius is mostly uphill and provides good exercise for about 15 minutes, after which there is a bar and bakery to sit and relax and recover and watch local folk.||Would we go again, absolutely! Great value and...
Read moreA 3 star half-board apartment with food, service and atmosphere at a 5 star level. The people there do their best to make you feel at home in every way. Extremely helpful and they make their guests feel like they are at home with friends.|Breakfast is continental with breads, jams, cheese/ham/salami juice, coffee/tea and an egg of choice. Dinner is included and you simple order off their comprehensive menu (and of course pay for drinks).||The beach is a 5-10 min walk away and was a little too turist like if you are looking for a quiet beach. However, its worth a look and just take a bottle of water with you as although its a short walk in 30+ degrees with kids it feels longer.||You can rent cars as we did and explore the island. Its about an hour drive to Corfu Town. Narrow and bumpy roads so keep your eyes open. The drive at night is a little more difficult as their roads dont have lights.||For the kids, spend a day at the waterpark Aqualand. Its not expensive and we went wit hour 14 and 5 year old and they...
