Island hopping in the Ionian - Corfu, Paxos and Lefkas

Dating back to 1823, this Venetian style mansion was the ancestral home of the Metaxas family.  When executing the excellent restoration of the building into a four star, boutique property, they decided to call the hotel after the local name of their grandmother - Siorra Vittoria.

The hotel, set in a beautiful garden, is decorated in elegant, classic style with traditional colours.  Personalised service creates a welcoming atmosphere and the friendly staff are on hand to offer advice on what to see, the best places to eat as well as what sports activities are available in the area.  The location is excellent, as the Siorra Vittoria is set in the centre of the old part of Corfu Town, five minutes’ walk from the Liston, surrounded by restaurants, cafes and shops yet an oasis of calm within a walled garden.

The hotel’s lush, mature garden with flowers and pine trees and a Magnolia tree dating back to the 18th century, separates the rooms from the main building. The accommodation is comprised of  two classic double bedded rooms, two ground floor classic double bedded rooms next to the main building which have separate access.  There are also two junior suites which have a king size bed and a double bedded exclusive junior suite with wood panelled ceiling and a view of the fortress.  Furnishings are period and made of oak. The ground floor two bedroom family suite for up to 4 persons has a private terrace. Both rooms are double bedded.

Breakfast can be taken in either your room (at no extra charge) or in the garden under the shade of the unique Magnolia tree.

You could call this hotel your private residence!

This long-established 'adult friendly' hotel enjoys one of the best locations on Paxos above its own peaceful white-pebble beach a mile to the south of Gaios. It is built in bungalow style and has a large 160 sq m seawater pool (depth 0.90-1.50m).

In recent years the hotel has undergone a comprehensive upgrade and in 2024 changed its name from the Paxos Beach Hotel.

The hotel has some 40 rooms and suites housed in stone terraced units set among olive trees. All are double or twin-bedded and possess air conditioning, WiFi, mini-fridge, TV, hairdryer, room safe, tea-making facilities, shower room and veranda, most with some form of sea view.

Behind the beach is the restaurant and an outside bar with snacks available. The hotel has a tennis court (free usage), sauna/massage facilities (local charge) and provides pool / beach towels.

The Agali is ideal for a very relaxed holiday in quiet, green surroundings with a beach to hand and Gaios within walking distance. Due to the location and a number of steps, this hotel would not be suitable for those with walking difficulties.

Note: the hotel does not accept children younger than 12 years of age.

The Odyssey Hotel is attractively designed in the traditional Lefkadian style. It is situated about halfway along Agios Nikitas main street, set back with a small garden to the front, and only 200m from the beach. The hotel has 40 rooms on four floors and at the highest level a very nice pool area with snack bar.

The ground floor houses the five studios, spacious (35 sq m) and recently renovated (2022) with large modern shower rooms, light kitchen facilities (mini-oven, hob, fridge, kettle), a king-sized bed plus sofa beds for two children. They have a good-sized covered terrace opening out directly onto the garden.

The first floor has reception plus standard double rooms (also second floor). These are older style, clean and simple, containing one small double plus one single built-in bed, shower room and front covered balcony with very nice views to the wooded hillside on the other side of the village.

The top floor deluxe rooms have been renovated to a good standard in the modern Greek minimalist style. They all have a walk-in rainwater shower and again fine hillside views from the balcony.

At the highest level there are maisonette units comprising a ground floor living room with wooden stairs up to a double bedroom above. These are good for families as they are spacious (60 sq m), also have kitchens, two shower rooms and can sleep up to 5 using sofa beds.

All rooms possess AC, TV (smart TV in the deluxe rooms), WiFi, fridge, room safe and hairdryer.

At rooftop level is the swimming pool and snack bar where breakfast is taken. There are 18 steps up from the garden to reception on the first floor, and from here a lift takes you to the higher floors and pool area.
