You might be free to visit today, but New Fortress wasn't always so welcoming! Discover the story behind this mighty stronghold and exactly what it was designed to defend.

New Fortress is a great place to begin exploring Old Town Corfu. This history-filled fortress is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Dassia Beach, Aqualand, and Pelekas Beach to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

The staff make this hotel extra, extra special. The food, the views, the facilities are all great but the kind, friendly staff make it all so much better.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (244 reviews)

We had a good time at this property. The pros: it is a great location relative to the old town, the AC worked great, the room stayed dark a night, the breakfast buffet was solid (eggs, fresh fruit, pastries etc). The cons: in the photos, the room looked like it had a juliette balcony but that must have been a different room or a camera trick, the room was very dim, exacerbated by the fact that the windows have shutters that are kind of hard to open, the coffee was very weak but also burnt tasting at breakfast both days, and there was no laundry service. Lastly, the garden is quite small and in July, not really enjoyable due to heat/sun and a lot of flies. Finally, not really a negative but we were staying here for our honeymoon which we mentioned in advance and no one congratulated us which was surprising for a small boutique hotel. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but cannot recommend as excellent.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (88 reviews)

High end for a 3* hotel. Looks very impressive especially around the pool and modern rooms with quiet, efficient Aircon. The private hot tubs with the honeymoon suites is a nice touch. However, we were disappointed the honeymoon suite didn't have the 4-poster bed like the photos of the room. Location god to walk to restaurants, supermarkets and beach. A bit surprising that Nespresso pods and bottles water has a charge and toiletries weren't replenished readily. Got really bit, probably just a Greek island thing, take bug repellent! Lovely setting for couples.
