Since 1975, when Sunvil first launched its holiday programme to Greece, the Cavalieri Hotel has been our base in Corfu Town. Many of us have slept there over the years and it is easy to see why. It’s perfectly located, just opposite the old fortress and a short stroll (about 200 metres) from all the shops and restaurants of the old town and it has a cosy, colonial character. Although a little old fashioned in places - there are of course now many more modern hotel alternatives - we like the Cavalieri because it is low key, comfortable and somewhat understated.
Originally built in the 17th century as a nobleman’s mansion for the Flamburiari family, it opened its doors as a hotel in the late 1960s, not long before Sunvil started operating to Corfu. At that time it was the leading hotel in Corfu town and the meeting point for writers, actors and poets. Many famous people have spent time at the small bar and lobby of this boutique hotel. From the rooftop bar and restaurant the views are panoramic
The Cavalieri is the perfect base for those wanting to spend a few days in one of the most impressive, attractive and romantic towns in Greece. Our chairman says he does not feel as if he has visited Corfu unless he’s staying in this hotel.
