The location is amazing! We loved the beach with sun beds. Beach towels are provided as well. The food is very good (we had breakfast and dinner). The staff is super friendly.
Parking was always possible around the hotel even when there were many guests.
We would love to return to this hotel one day :)
Skafonas is surrounded by a lush garden with blooming flowers, almond, cherry and apricot trees, in the area between the traditional village Sinarades and the famous Pelekas village.

Had a lovely night here whilst walking the Corfu trail. Really good beds and a gorgeous view overlooking the sea. Nikos want super friendly and quick in his replies, we felt very well taken care of.
Also cool: they have grapevines practically on the beach! Wow! Never ever have we seen that before.

We decided to base ourselves in Pelekas because of its vicinity both to Corfu town and to the beaches. However, the way back from the beach to the village is very steep and not convenient for children and older people. The beautiful village could be a lot nicer if traffic would be banned, since the streets are very narrow.

Our room had clearly not been renovated for the past 30+years, with broken tiles everywhere badly patched with glue/silicon (arguably a health and safety hazard), a bed with more broken springs than those still working (we slept only a few hours, if any), a shower that at peak usage time would get lukewarm at best (we called reception and they sent through a handy man at around 7pm who said it is usual for them to run out of hot water when everyone at the hotel is having showers, but it would usually come back in the next 2/3 hours). Also, our room was next to the large outdoor aircon units which were incredibly loud and they were blowing air upwards/towards our balcony (major covid risk), hence why we couldn't even make use of the one positive aspect of the hotel.
Also, there was a general smell of sewage throughout the facility, including our bathroom, which became unbearable at "peak shower times".
The all-inclusive package (there was no à la carte restaurant, shut due to Covid, even though the description on Booking is clearly talking of a second à la carte restaurant) was absolutely below expectations. We stayed at other 5-star hotels in Corfu a couple of nights before and after (we only experienced one dinner and one breakfast as we ran away ASAP) and the food at both was just miles ahead. To provide one simple example, the cut-up fruit provided was all canned (in syrup) fruit, as opposed to freshly cut fruit (provided at both other 5-star hotels). Also, for drinks there was only water, fizzy drinks, house wine and house beer all from a self-service tap - for anything else from a menu, you would need to prepay the tab on your room, which could only be done at reception (which is something I had never heard of/experienced before for anything above 3-stars!), which was a 10 min walk up from the restaurant.

Pelekas is not, as such, the target of a trip but if you like family beach it is totally suitable for you ; if you like family naturism the beaches are very nice at Mirtitiossa (15 mn) or Issos (40 mn) ; if you like geographic tourism Pelekas is central !

If you go to Pelekas I really recommend to rent a boat on Ermones beach, you will have an unforgettable experience, People are warm and friendly. Go to Aqualand, a great water park but make sure to go there for a whole day. 3 hours will not be enough! Go spend some cool time at Villa Myrto!
If you come to this area without a car, you will be sorry. A car is a MUST have!!

Beautiful village.
Beautiful village. We prefer somewhere less touristy and Pelekas was perfect. I am sure corona virus may have effected how busy the village was but I don’t think the charm would be lost if it was busier. Lovely selection of tavernas to enjoy dinner and we enjoyed some beautiful Greek wine and cocktails at the small little bar next to the church in the centre. Great rooftop terrace not to be missed. I would recommend a car to reach the beaches. We walked back from the beach one day and once was enough in the heat! Top top, get your sun loungers at Spyros on the beach at Pelekas/Kontogialos beach and don’t miss the calamari Or grilled octopus on the menu for lunch!! Glyfada beach wasn’t a patch on Pelekas, give it a miss. Not to be missed is watching the sunset from Kaisers Throne!! Worth the walk up the hill, grab a beer on the way!!

It's good location as base for trip around Corfu island (not the north part of island, but i think that the central and south part of island is prettier), only 20 minutes by car to the Kerkyra, a lot of beaches on west coast.
We visited a lot of tavernas - for examples Staurodromi - very good meal, very kind staff.
The view from the room and the location is fantastic, nothing less. Good and relaxed atmosphere. The personell were friendly and helpful. Good food and we liked the focus on local and or homegrown ingredients. If we visit Pelekas again, we will surely choose Madalenas again, despite some strange hikkups.
Our room actually had a real double bed, not the hopeless solution most Greek hotels offer with to beds pushed together with nothing to hold it in place. A small thing, but not that insignificant if you're a couple on vacation.
We were met on arrival by the resort manager who was extremely helpful and made every effort to ensure we were taken care of. The manager made arrangements to get a hired car delivered to the apartment and assisted us with much valuable information on the island and places to visit. This made our experience of Greece unforgettable and departed with complete satisfaction. I recommend anyone visiting Corfu to look at the Bella Vista apartments. We will definitely stay there again.
Sofia is a terrific host who is always happy to help when you need anything. She even drove us to a restaurant before the kitchen closed on our first night there, which not many people would do.
The villa has a great view and is quite conveniently located. Pelekas, Glyfada beach, and Mirtiotissa beach are all a 30 minute walk from the property, so you can traverse easily enough by foot.
The private pool is a good size and the garden is lovely with several seating options.
This is a beautiful hotel in a quiet countryside setting. The rooms are set around the estate in separate buildings. The room was very clean and had lovely old furniture, the kitchenette was well equipped. The pool is lovely. Really lovely staff. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and served outside. Bar with light food available 12-4:30 and bar until midnight. Such a lovely spot to sit and relax. 5 mins drive to lovely village of Pelekas with lots of tavernas/cafe.
Very peaceful surrounding near Pelekas. The garden is nice and well kept. The apartment was also clean. If you like a quiet place far from the city noises then this is the best choice. Also Corfu city is easy to reach by car as it is not very far from it. Me and my kids had a great time there. The host are also very friendly and caring. As we arrived in the middle of the night, I have asked them to do some basic food shopping for us and it was no problem.
Fantastic house in a lovely village with several cafes and restaurants within walking distance. The house is a perfect combination of country charm but with modern facilities including recently refitted kitchen and bathrooms. Excellent hosts with great communication in advance of the stay and on hand to answer questions during our stay. The views from the terrace are stunning. We would definitely return here on our next trip to Corfu.
House is located on the top of Pelekas Town, very near to one of the most beautiful beaches of Corfu; Kontogialos Beach and Glyfada Beach. The house has a amazing view, great wind all day. The owner Eleni tought about everything that you might need during your stay. She was very kind about everything, she even took us to a Greek Festival in a near village around. This is the best house rental we have ever had, totally recommended.
Another excellent stay in at Milena's Country House - the house is beautiful maintaining a country charm while also having modern touches. The view from the balcony is amazing. George and Sofia are excellent hosts, friendly and welcome. We will definitely be back :-)
Pelekas is also a great location to stay, village location but with several cafes and restaurants within walking distance.
An exceptional family apartment that makes you feel like home! Maria, the host and her family are amazing people, very welcoming and helpful during the stay. I can't imagine anything missing from this apartment in terms of equipment or materials. Pelekas is a very picturesque village near Corfu Town and Glyfada beach. Would come back in the future. Highly recommended!
What a magnificent setting with superb views of both coasts of Corfu. The hotel shows signs of age but still retains its elegance.
Breakfast was included and of very good quality and plenty of choice. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The view of the sunset was spectacular, we understand that the sunrise is too but 6.30 was too early for us!
The hosts were very lovely and made us feel very welcome. Our room was pretty and very clean and we also had a nice view of the ocean from our balcony. Breakfast was great too, we have absolutely nothing to complain about and would recommend the hotel especially to young couples or smaller groups looking for a small, cozy hotel in Corfu.
The Resort has two swimming pools with a gorgeous view of the sea, and the beach is only a 10 minute walk or less. This walk is down a steep hill, though. The homemade wine we got as a gift was wonderful and the bed is very comfortable. The host is also very helpful, he got us a car rental.
The location is great. Easy to access from Corfu city and the beach is just perfect for a relaxing holiday. The full board is a good choice, offering a large variety of food for each meal. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful restaurant and bar areas.
Clean sandy beach with shallow shore - parents with kids will appreciate. Couples can enjoy the sunset from the beach or the restaurants.
Pretty good buffet, friendly stuff.
We also appreciated the location 20 minutes by taxi from the airport.
Great location in Pelekas , close to the village's restaurants and bars. 2nd floor room has a view of the sea from the balcony. Restaurant food is good! I would return to that hotel if I come back to visit Pelekas.
Moments from the beach, the view is stunning. Quiet surroundings and very nice people and communication between hosts was excellent. Good size place for single traveller and quick wifi.
Amazing view, good location with nice sand beach in walking distance, great food in the restaurant, very friendly hosts, basic but efficient room and mini kitchen.
Owner is amazing - responsive, welcoming, attentive but not intrusive and, as she grew up in Pelekas, offers excellent advice on restaurants, activities, etc.
