The location is amazing! We loved the beach with sun beds. Beach towels are provided as well. The food is very good (we had breakfast and dinner). The staff is super friendly.
Parking was always possible around the hotel even when there were many guests.
We would love to return to this hotel one day :)
Skafonas is surrounded by a lush garden with blooming flowers, almond, cherry and apricot trees, in the area between the traditional village Sinarades and the famous Pelekas village.

Had a lovely night here whilst walking the Corfu trail. Really good beds and a gorgeous view overlooking the sea. Nikos want super friendly and quick in his replies, we felt very well taken care of.
Also cool: they have grapevines practically on the beach! Wow! Never ever have we seen that before.

Great location. Typical Greek chilled out hospitality. Nice food. Room was basic but top class comfy bed.
Apartment Classic type Aa5 24, a property with a garden, is located in Pelekas, 600 metres from Glyfada Beach, 700 metres from Mirtiotissa Beach, as well as 2.1 km from Kontogialos Beach.

We decided to base ourselves in Pelekas because of its vicinity both to Corfu town and to the beaches. However, the way back from the beach to the village is very steep and not convenient for children and older people. The beautiful village could be a lot nicer if traffic would be banned, since the streets are very narrow.

Our room had clearly not been renovated for the past 30+years, with broken tiles everywhere badly patched with glue/silicon (arguably a health and safety hazard), a bed with more broken springs than those still working (we slept only a few hours, if any), a shower that at peak usage time would get lukewarm at best (we called reception and they sent through a handy man at around 7pm who said it is usual for them to run out of hot water when everyone at the hotel is having showers, but it would usually come back in the next 2/3 hours). Also, our room was next to the large outdoor aircon units which were incredibly loud and they were blowing air upwards/towards our balcony (major covid risk), hence why we couldn't even make use of the one positive aspect of the hotel.
Also, there was a general smell of sewage throughout the facility, including our bathroom, which became unbearable at "peak shower times".
The all-inclusive package (there was no à la carte restaurant, shut due to Covid, even though the description on Booking is clearly talking of a second à la carte restaurant) was absolutely below expectations. We stayed at other 5-star hotels in Corfu a couple of nights before and after (we only experienced one dinner and one breakfast as we ran away ASAP) and the food at both was just miles ahead. To provide one simple example, the cut-up fruit provided was all canned (in syrup) fruit, as opposed to freshly cut fruit (provided at both other 5-star hotels). Also, for drinks there was only water, fizzy drinks, house wine and house beer all from a self-service tap - for anything else from a menu, you would need to prepay the tab on your room, which could only be done at reception (which is something I had never heard of/experienced before for anything above 3-stars!), which was a 10 min walk up from the restaurant.

Pelekas is not, as such, the target of a trip but if you like family beach it is totally suitable for you ; if you like family naturism the beaches are very nice at Mirtitiossa (15 mn) or Issos (40 mn) ; if you like geographic tourism Pelekas is central !

If you go to Pelekas I really recommend to rent a boat on Ermones beach, you will have an unforgettable experience, People are warm and friendly. Go to Aqualand, a great water park but make sure to go there for a whole day. 3 hours will not be enough! Go spend some cool time at Villa Myrto!
If you come to this area without a car, you will be sorry. A car is a MUST have!!

Beautiful village.
Beautiful village. We prefer somewhere less touristy and Pelekas was perfect. I am sure corona virus may have effected how busy the village was but I don’t think the charm would be lost if it was busier. Lovely selection of tavernas to enjoy dinner and we enjoyed some beautiful Greek wine and cocktails at the small little bar next to the church in the centre. Great rooftop terrace not to be missed. I would recommend a car to reach the beaches. We walked back from the beach one day and once was enough in the heat! Top top, get your sun loungers at Spyros on the beach at Pelekas/Kontogialos beach and don’t miss the calamari Or grilled octopus on the menu for lunch!! Glyfada beach wasn’t a patch on Pelekas, give it a miss. Not to be missed is watching the sunset from Kaisers Throne!! Worth the walk up the hill, grab a beer on the way!!

It's good location as base for trip around Corfu island (not the north part of island, but i think that the central and south part of island is prettier), only 20 minutes by car to the Kerkyra, a lot of beaches on west coast.
We visited a lot of tavernas - for examples Staurodromi - very good meal, very kind staff.
The view from the room and the location is fantastic, nothing less. Good and relaxed atmosphere. The personell were friendly and helpful. Good food and we liked the focus on local and or homegrown ingredients. If we visit Pelekas again, we will surely choose Madalenas again, despite some strange hikkups.
Our room actually had a real double bed, not the hopeless solution most Greek hotels offer with to beds pushed together with nothing to hold it in place. A small thing, but not that insignificant if you're a couple on vacation.
Very spacious Villa with perfect view! Basement room has gym and a 85" TV. Everything new. Pool was cleaned daily. The byway to the villa seemed a little bit steep at first. But after few days it was fun to go uphill with a car. If we managed to do it in 9 seater Mercedes van, its no problem for any other car 😁. 10min on foot to beautiful village of Pelekas going further uphill. Generous welcoming basket from the hosts! Thank you very much, Hosts! 10/10! Had perfect vacation!
Great location right in the centre of Pelekas. There was a beautiful view looking south over Corfu from our balcony. I was pleasantly surprised by this place, as some reviewers had mentioned that it was somewhat old & tired, but our room looked like it had recently been refurbished. We were happy with it, considering what it cost. It's basic enough, but it's good value for money.
A very good option for a stopover on the Corfu Trail, as it is located right on the trail.
We enjoyed our stay here, it was quiet and we had a nice terrace and everything we needed. Pelekas vilage is close, 25 min walk up hill. Beach is close, 5 min walk down hill. The only mini market is 1 min away. Nice view, sandy beach, no stones on it, no waves, perfect for small children. Any questions, the owner will guide you. His name is George, and by far was the best host we meet so far. I don't like to write reviews, but this man deserve it. Thank you!
We had the most wonderful vacation there. George was the most fantastic, the most hospitable, the most helpful host we have ever met. He was constantly looking for our comfort and joy. Kontogialos beach is the most beautiful part of Corfu....incredibly clear, blue water ... tranquility. The apartment satisfied all our comfort, we enjoyed the sun setting over the sea from the terrace. This is a must see! Thank you George <3
We had there a wonderful trip at Corfu. Antigoni - apartment owner is really nice, she surprised us with a few presents (special Corfu sweets and homemade wine). She also helped us to arrange taxi to the airport. The accomodation has a beautiful view at the see. Is quite tiny but really cozy. Everything there was new and clean. Good location, near to beaches and restaurant.
Everything! It was very clean, stylish and in a great location. The owner is a great guy who communicates great and is very accommodating.
The house has an amazing terrace with spectacular view!
Pelekas has some nightlife, but suited more for people who wants relaxation and good food (quite a few great food places).
Would definitely recommend!
The situation in the middle of Pelekas is great! The Taverna serves excellent food, good value for money. Pelekas is a lovely little village with regular buses to Corfu town. The walking trails around are lovely, nice beaches. The room is quite cheap.
Fab hosts, spotlessly clean and they could not have been more helpful. Brought us to a different beach every day, trips to Corfu town and shops. Great place to just chill with family and friends.
Manolo and Michaela are the best people for a trip to Corfu !!
The hotel has a very nice view and is very clean.
The breakfast is also very delicious
100% recommendation
Hotel is located on the hill above very nice and romantic village. The views are beautifull plus tasty breakfast is win win. Better to have car to travel to the beaches.
The apartment is close to the beach and a super market is just next to the house. The plce is comfortable and well equiped. It has a beautiful balbony and a view.
Great accomodation, with a well equipped kitchen, fantastic view all over a very nice beach - Pelekas/Kontagialos beach, quiet and relaxing surroundings.
This is a really nice property, nested in a lovely village at an easy reach of many lovely beaches and the Old Town. The staff is absolutely wonderful.
