Corfu, Corfu Island Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Benitses Corfu is a wonderful place to visit and Mr. Fedon Milios, the owner/operator of the Andromache's Apts helped make it even nicer. The accommodations are homey and comfortable . Set high on a hillside, you have a fantastic view of the Ionian Sea about 200 yards away. Fedon and his wife are wonderful, friendly people and do everything they can to make your stay fun and comfortable. The grounds around Andomache's Apts are beautiful and well kept with various local flowers, plants, trees and bushes. We definitely plan to return to Benitses for a longer stay and would not consider staying anyplace other than the Andromache's Apts.

We stayed here for a week at the end of the season (in October). It is a lovely hotel very close to the beach and the staff were all friendly and helpful. It was very peaceful and perfect for a relaxing break. If you are happy to stay on the beach it is perfect - as long as the weather holds! It was quite stormy during our stay and a car became necessary to visit other sites and find alternative eating and shopping places. .

Very simple, clean and well maintained apartment in an upscale neighborhood. An incredible view overlooking the bay. Helpful staff. Walking distance to restaurants and markets. This is not a full service hotel, but was perfect for our family of five including three young kids. We would definitely stay there again.

We spent four great days at this wonderfully under-rated 3 star hotel. It is fairly basic but the rooms are clean, air conditioned, every one has a balcony and a good sized bathroom. There is a great bar and snack bar, and a lounge outside and opposite the beach. There is live entertainment every night and the public is allowed in to this area. Great restaurants are nearby. The hotel does not do dinners. It does snacks and light lunches. Continental breakfast is included in the rate but it is very basic. They could add some variety to this and we have not yet stayed in any hotel in Europe that does a really good cup of coffee. Otherwise, this was a great hotel, great price and the staff on the main desk were absolutely wonderful.

On arrival we met Anna who was one of the managers of the hotel, a lovely young lady who greeted us, unfortunately with bad news. The rooms we were booked into had a few problems due to flooding and due to the hotel having full capacity we were transferred to a local hotel to stay the night. In the morning we were again transferred back to the hotel were we met Hilary who was also one of the managers and who was very apologetic due to the unfortunate flooding of the rooms, unexpectedly she upgraded our room to our delight. The room was spotless with clean white bed linen and towels. The views from the balcony were breathtaking so picturesque. The management of the hotel made up for the first night, our rooms were upgraded, we had wine and a beautiful fruit basket delivered to our room and on our third day we had the hire of a car paid for by management. We couldn't fault the experience, apart from the first night, the hotel was fabulous along with great staff who were very helpful and friendly who made our stay very enjoyable. The food was spectacular and delicious. We would highly recommend a stay at the Sunshine Corfu hotel. x

Unique hotel. beautiful location. Great personnel and management. Bungalows are special. All food is superb Restaurant "Aristo" is a must. Like no other hotel in the world.

Everything was better then I expected. Location is perfect, room is clean and big. AC is included in price of room, in Greece in many apartments is additional cost. Owners of hotel are extremely friendly and helpful.

Very classy hotel. Food was very good. Breakfast, one of the best. Service second to none. Beach was very nice. Lots of activities in the area. Close to lots of action.

Very nice hotel in a good location. We booked a "sea view" room and were put in a fantastic room that walked straight out onto the beach. It was very quiet and I definitely preferred this hotel to the next door Corfu Chandris, which seemed a little busier, noisier and smellier (outdoor toilet blockage I think). Staff: Attentive, helpful, friendly. Pool: Didn't use it, why would you when your next to a beautiful sea?! I was told the pool was salt water, and there were a few people using it but it's not spectacular. You are allowed to use the more grand looking pool at the next door Corfu Chandris hotel though. Beach/Sea: The beach is sandy rocks so bring your flipflops. The loungers are chargeable at €3pp/day for hotel guests and €5pp/day if not. It's worth it if you're spending the whole day by the beach, otherwise you can just lay your towels down on the grass between the beach and hotel. The sea was lovely and warm, sandy underfoot and very nice to swim in. Activities: At one end of the beach you can hire little boats for the day. At the other you can do para-sailing, water-skiing, banana boats etc. There's a nice beach bar but Happy Hour is ONLY at the bar at reception. Nearby: We went to Corfu Town for the day which was really nice. Pretty place with some interesting history. Food: We only used the hotel for breakfast, which was nice enough. We ate at the restaurants along the road each night which were all very good. Try Alex's Bar further down to the right.
