Our room was recently renovated so everything was fresh and new. During our stay even some details were added to the room, like an extra chair. The hotel staff was very helpfull and friendly. On the first morning they knocked on our door to ask if they could help us with anything. The lady gave us a map and pointed out the nice places and beaches. We went everywhere, inckuding the restaurant she recommended and her tips were spot on. The hotel is about 1 km outside of Benitses. The walk to town is a bit unsafe for the first 200 meters. After that there is a sidewalk. Benitses is a very nice place with several restaurants. It is one of the smaller villages but plenty of choice to have breakfast. We rented a scooter for our whole stay and explored the entire island. We had a small scooter and could go everywhere. Some roads to the beaches are very steep but the scooter made it every time, albeit very slow with 2 people on it :-) From this hotel we would definitely recommend to rent a scooter or a car because it is outside town and there is not much to do at the hotel itself. You can also go the other way, to Corfu-town. There are some nive places with terraces at the seafront along the way. But these too are at least 1 a 2 km away. The bed was quite small: 140 cm. Which was fine for us, but good to know. The airco worked well. The view from the room over the sea was spectaculair. With the doors to the terrace closed, the room is quiet. The first night we tried to sleep with the doors open but were invaded by musquitos and party sounds from what sounded like the hotel next door. Bathroom was perfect. Good water pressure in the shower. Renovation was still ongoing during our stay but they kept the noise to a mimumum while there were guests there. We heard some drilling and knocking once or twice late in the morning and only very briefly. The new name of the hotel is Batelo by the way.
