Paradise Hotel Corfu

If we could give this hotel 10 stars, we would. From our late night arrival and greeting by Miltos we felt welcome. The room, 202, was lovely, clean, spacious with a balcony overlooking the side garden and hills. Plenty of storage space in a double built in wardrobe. Fair size fridge for keeping the Retsina cold. The bathroom was small but immaculate, with a bath and shower. Breakfast is incredible, the choices are amazing, hot and cold food and variations daily to keep you interested and checking for something different. The 2 chefs we met were lovely and always spoke and smiled when greeted by us. They offered help and information on the different items we didn't recognise and were able to keep everything topped up so no one missed out on anything. The breakfast team, Katerina, Thomas, Thespina and Kristina were the most fabulous people and nothing was too much trouble and their kindness and help was much appreciated and we cannot thank them enough. Team you are amazing, keep doing your thing, you are the best. To Myra and Angie on day Reception, a massive thank you for all your help, and advice on places to visit which helped us have a wonderful time. To our lovely housekeeper, whose name I have missed, thank you for your hard work and not missing a single thing. We have not had service as good as this for a long time. The dining room is large and nicely set out and there is a covered area to have your breakfast on the way to the outside area if you don't want to sit outside on the gorgeous terrace under the Olive trees. Breakfast is served from 07.30 to 10.30 and the bar, on the terrace, opens at 10.00. There is a large lounge area to sit and relax and has books for guests to read. The decoration throughout is lovely and there is a relaxed feel about the place which is nice to experience. Without doubt from customer experience this is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The only thing we would advise is it is quite a walk down a steep, curved hill and across a busy main road to get into the village but there are safe crossing areas. The walk back up will be a challenge to some but we had our mobility scooters so it was fun for us, both directions 😀. This hotel is perfect so if you are looking for a base to explore from, we cannot recommend the Paradise highly enough. Corfu Town around 20 minutes drive, Ipsos around 15 minutes, the beautiful Paloekastritsa about 30 minutes. Public transport is from the main road at the bottom of the hill but we had to use Taxis due to having the mobility scooters and had factored in the additional cost of this before we travelled. Thank you Paradise Hotel for the happy memories you have helped us make.

WONDERFUL HOTEL **** I can’t speak highly enough of my 10 night stay at The Paradise hotel. Despite arriving around 02.30 at night, I had a pleasant welcome from the night porter and was very pleased with my room, which was very well appointed with air-conditioning, tv, fridge and safe. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was a little old fashioned but fine, and the balcony had lovely views of the Pandokrator mountain range and the lush gardens. The self-service breakfast which is served between 07.30 and 10.30, was extremely good with an extensive choice of hot and cold food. There were different types of bread, fresh fruit, fruit juice, cereals, and cake for those with a sweet tooth! A choice of coffee and tea was available. Everything was very tasty, well presented and constantly topped up. The service was excellent! The hotel is situated above Gouvia, the gardens are beautifully kept, the swimming pool, whilst not very large, is really nice and the well-padded loungers around it are very comfortable. As there are plenty of beautiful old Olive and Palm trees, there is a choice of being in the sun or shade. This area is served by the Pool Bar which is open from early afternoon until about midnight, and which serves hot and cold snacks during the afternoon, as well as hot drinks (including English tea!!!) and of course, juices, wine etc. Once again, the service is absolutely terrific – thank you Harris and staff for making my stay so enjoyable - afternoon tea every day! After a short walk down the hill to the main road there is a bus stop (No. 7 bus) almost immediately to the left, which will take you into Corfu town, or a stop opposite which will take you further up the coast. Gouvia itself has a lovely smallish beach from which one can walk along the waterfront past the Venetian Boat Yard (historic building remains) to Gouvia Marina etc. There are also a few nice restaurants and the usual gift shops etc. What made my stay at The Paradise so enjoyable was the excellent service I received from everyone. My room was spotlessly cleaned every day, all the staff were friendly and ready with advice, particularly the excellent reception ladies!. But above all, for me, the peaceful atmosphere and ambience of the place – hotel, gardens, and lovely views wherever one looked – made this visit so special.

The hotel was amazing, very clean , room spotlessly cleaned everyday , views amazing, staff amazing, a special mention to vasilas and Harris who made me and my partner feel so relaxed as all staff did , vasilas felt like he had become a true friend , legend
