You will be looking to pay around £1060 for three nights, but it’s infinitely one of the most stylish and chilled out hotels on the island. Think White Lotus vibes!
This boutique hotel makes for a peaceful and serene oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the Old Town and thanks to its fantastic position overlooking the sea and mountains, it’s the place to relax and watch the sunset.

TOP TRAVEL TIPS
Here are our top three travel tips when planning a trip to Corfu:
Use the Pogo app to plan ahead so you can identify all of the attractions you want to visit as well as factoring in some down time too. Did you know if you add all the things you want to see and do on holiday to your Corfu Pinboard, you can upgrade your Pogo travel planning experience to Pogo Plus where it will create your very own personalised travel itinerary - just for you!
Identify the best season to visit Corfu to ensure you get the best out of your holiday. Summer is great for those who want to party or sunbathe, but can get pretty busy. If you are looking for a more chilled out holiday, visit in September or even October where there are fewer visitors but you may not get the super hot temperatures you want. Plan ahead and book with Pogo!
Create a packing list and add water shoes, trainers, a hat, mosquito repellent to that list as these are all essential items to pack in your suitcase when visiting Corfu. Why not create your holiday check list in Pogo Pocket so you don’t forget any of these all-important items!
