Philoxenia

The good stuff first. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nothing was a problem. The room was spotless and clean with towels changed regularly. Comfortable beds with a great view from the balcony. A clothes airer with pegs was provided. Pool towels were available foc from a reception. Takis, Aris and speridon were amazing. As we had mobility issues we had lifts too and from the beach and the taverna. The staff at Villa Maria taverna also provided us with a lift back to the hotel foc. The food at the taverna is excellent as the lunchtime food at the hotel pool restaurant. Breakfast is adequate. Ample sun beds with a large clean pool area. Our personal disappointments are- No tea/coffee making facilities in the room which, for us is an absolute necessity. There is no bar or restaurant open in the evening once the pool area has closed. There are no bars or restaurants (apart from the villa Maria) in walking distance which we were extremely disappointed with as we like to walk to different nearby restaurants and bars. There are a number of steps to negotiate going up to the pool area which has no toilets on that level so you have to go down three flights of stairs. You need to hire a car.

Philoxenia in Greek means "love for the stranger" and never has a chosen name been more fitting! I was on vacation in Corfu with my boyfriend from August 23 to 28, 2026; our idea was to choose a hotel that was not just "the place to sleep" but an integral part of our vacation. The Hotel Philoxenia fully met our expectations! The Hotel, which is located in a central area of the island, is only a 20-minute drive from the capital Corfu Town and is situated in the beautiful Ermones Bay, as well as near the town of Paleokastritsa, where the most famous and pristine beaches of the island are. Takis and the other Philoxenia staff members guided us in choosing the various excursions - organized entirely by the Hotel - to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. In particular, my partner and I decided to visit Paxos and Antipaxos, with their typical villages and turquoise waters: a bus conveniently picked us up from the Hotel, took us to the port for the excursion, and brought us back to the hotel in the evening. However, as I was saying, even on days when you don't feel like exploring the island, the Hotel Philoxenia allows you to fully enjoy your vacation, thanks to its splendid pool, which offers a spectacular view of the Bay, with restaurant service - at lunch - and the bar with direct access from the pool! We were very happy to try Takis's famous Mojito, with a sunset view! The quality of the services was excellent: the room with a tub was lovely and clean, with a comfortable little balcony; breakfast had an abundant selection of sweet, savory, and traditional Greek dishes; staff were always available and kind. Not to be overlooked is the nearby Maria tavern, in Ermones Bay, where you can enjoy fish, meat, and vegetarian dishes! In short, a vacation that is a real treat for the tourist!

Good evening, in September we decided to take a few days of vacation and visit Corfu. We booked at the Hotel Philoxenia. It was 4 beautiful days, during which we were able to discover the beauties of this splendid island and at the same time feel at home due to the kindness of Takis, the owner, and his family, who also helped us enjoy a wonderful boat trip to the stunning islands of Paxos and Antipaxos. We drank a mojito by the hotel pool whose flavor we won't forget so easily, in front of a sunset that is moving and that you can enjoy from the hotel. Not to mention the cleanliness of the room, cozy and with a sea view with a delightful terrace, and the rich breakfast that awaited us in the morning in the hotel's large dining room. We recommend going to visit Corfu and choosing Takis's hotel, which will surely remain in your hearts. Hi Takis, we hope to return soon. Giorgio and Monica
