Sotiris Apartment

Thekli is a wonderful welcoming host. The accommodation has fantastic views over Gaios and is in a lovely quiet location just a few minutes walk from the centre with restaurants, cafes, bakeries and a supermarket. It is also a great base for walking on the island. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable with a well equipped kitchenette and Thekli provided a bottle of water, some beers, local liquer and a small supply of coffee, tea butter and jams which were all very welcome. I would highly recommend staying here.

We loved our 2nd stay at Theckli's studio - our 1st was about 15 years ago (we think!) - and our memories had served us well. The host is so welcoming and kind (watch out for food gifts in your fridge) and the studio has an amazing view of the harbour. It is clean, comfortable and well equipped - thoroughly recommended

Lovely apartment very clean fantastic views. Thekli was the perfect Host who bakes wonderful cakes. Very comfortably accommodation just a few minutes walk into Gaios Square with great restaurants.

The reviews I've read I don't understand how they can be so enthusiastic. Upon arrival at the port we were sent a taxi, although very late and charged 20 euros (double) as it also loaded other people who had booked it themselves; to reach the apartment (?), once you get off there is an important staircase that if you have problems you are finished and with the suitcases it is absolutely not pleasant. Finally the owner shows up who, in addition to greeting and explaining two things, does nothing else. The so-called apartment is so small that it is difficult to move around. The bathroom is claustrophobic, the shower with zero pressure and strictly cold water, the sink the size of a small basin. Microscopic cuisine. The much vaunted balcony will have a pleasant view of the harbor but it is as big as a handkerchief. The walls are made of tissue paper so you have to hope not to have noisy neighbors. The air conditioner is noisy and runs on and off. True the room is cleaned every day except Sundays and the maid moves things as she likes! Undoubtedly close to the port, like everything else anyway. Nothing so exciting. The icing on the cake: we were forced to leave the island on Saturday because the owner told us that due to bad weather the hydrofoils would not leave on Sunday! A nightmare looking for a new room in Corfu at the last minute and the weather is also sunny today Sunday 18th September. Greece never again.
