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.

Very quite but very beautiful resort . Great place to unwind and relax . If you want a holiday with night life don't go to Glyfada as it is remote . We had a wonderful time on the beach or swimming in the sea . The hotel has had a complete referb recently it was very clean and the staff are very helpful

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.

From the moment we arrived, the Manager received us at the front gate with a warm welcome. They gave us a special treat as it was our wedding anniversary and even managed to get a comfortable cot bed for our baby without even asking for one. EveryOne was very kind and helpful. The views of the hotel are simply amazing.

Best hotel on the Island. An absolutely stunning setting with panoramic views. the staff are absolutely wonderful and cannot do enough to make your stay enjoyable. Special mention to Alekos in the restaurant. A really friendly and helpful chap who was totally attentive to all our needs. Had one small complaint about the hardness of our bed and it was rectified within the hour. The local snack bars are excellent and are definitely worth a visit at sunset. The best food can be found (we thought) at Panorama which is further up the hillside. Its run by a chap called Sam and his brother. We were advised to hire a car and check out Pelekas which we did. This is a small village on a mountain with spectacular views - whether the views are better than those from around the hotel I am not sure. We would definitely recommend this hotel and we are returning in 6 months.

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.

The hotel is not in the luxury class based on size or cost, but its attention to details and helpfulness. The breakfast is served in the garden area, which is covered with vines and flowers hanging from trellises. A pavillion, separate from the main hotel, in the garden serves the breakfast buffet, compliments the garden setting.

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.
