Nafsika Hotel

We've never travelled to corfu and this was mine and my wife's first venture..... and it didn't disappoint. We arrived late and we were greeted by Speros and Anthony, they both were very welcoming. Next day we hit the pool for breakfast, great menu for breakfast everything was fresh and orders were taken by the star of the hotel George. Pool area was tidy with plenty of really comfortable sun loungers and also some of the nicest people we have ever met on any holiday. Everyone was enjoying the sun, the pool and even the bar. Everyone there was of the same mindset as us, relax, relax and relax and that's what this hotel encourages you to do, sit back and relax. Location wise it's pretty good, across the street your at the beach. You also have three other restaurants to chose from right on the hotel steps, a supermarket to your right also. What more could you ask for? The bar has a wide variety of drinks available and the two brothers Dasius and Raphael are great guys. Anthony is on hand all evening to help out with Everything and a great guy to have a chat with. Speros during the day is also good to but has those old grumpy uncle vibes, but when you get past that he's actually a pussycat. The thing that really grabbed me was the amount of people who told us how many years they had been returning to the hotel, something that i would be happy to do also. All in all we had a great stay and met some wonderful people who we hope to see again, also Anthony, Raphael, Dasius, speros and of course George. Good luck to everyone and may the wind always be at back, and the sun in your faces

We were in real need of a complete rest and refresh and we found the ideal place at Nafsika. Situated at the quiet harbour end of this charming little resort we found peace and tranquility. The room was simple, clean and very comfortable. Unlimited hot water and room cleaned and fresh towels and sheets daily. The pool was crystal clean and beautiful for swimming, the comfortable loungers offered a range of full sun throughout the day or shade if needed. Also easy to shelter from the seasonal winds and enjoy the sunshine. Easy access to headland walks and well established tavernas and cafes. Charming and professional staff, Spyros kindly organised a visit from the local masseuse ( a real treat) for us, and was keen to ensure all was just as we wanted. George accommodated my dietary quirks, offering double yoghurt and fresh fruit in place of croissant and toast. All in all excellent value for a 2* hotel.

This hotel is in a perfect spot, that’s where the positives end. The fancy new frontage belies what’s going on behind the facade. I’d read mixed reviews but would rather judge for myself and went with an open mind. That said, I noticed that some of the positive reviews were about the bar/restaurant and not the accommodation. George is asking guests for money for an upgrade to a sea view room when he has the keys to that room in his hands!The rooms are dated (no issue with that), but they are not clean or maintained well at all. It’s way too much for the lovely cleaning lady. The bathroom was mouldy, bedding stained, rusty handles and a layer of dust everywhere. The breakfast was meagre, on the odd occasion there was a small serving of yogurt - this was the only positive. Owners can be found sitting around the bar during the evening but it makes guests feel awkward, like you’re the outsider and they’re the regulars. The waiting staff seemed inexperienced and you didn’t that usual Greek friendly feeling of hospitality. A few steps away from the hotel takes you to at least 5 good restaurants - all good. The rear of the hotel is a tip, not something you’d want to view from your balcony. As mentioned by others, the fire escape is non existent and I’m shocked that this is legal. San Stefanos is a lovely resort but I’d look for alternative hotels.
