The hype
Guests are blown away by the location and views but often feel nickel-and-dimed by food/water prices.
Corfu Imperial Grecotel Exclusive Resort
$300-600/ nacht
Boek dit als You want old-school Italianate glamour on a private peninsula and don't mind paying extra for the privilege of seclusion.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Stunning private peninsula location with 360-degree sea views
- Three private coves (though pebbly) that feel exclusive
- Grand, Wes Anderson-esque 'Old World' aesthetic
Snel Overzicht: A visually spectacular 'Grand Dame' that charges five-star prices for a four-star service experience during peak family season.
Beoordeeld door @Jeremyaustiin: I stayed here for my anniversary and the mornings were my favorite part. Waking up to this view and having the pool entirely to myself before breakfast was unforgettable. It feels incredibly private and sophisticated, unlike the busier spots on the island.

Reality check
The 'exclusive' vibe breaks down in August when the main pool becomes a chaotic kids' club.
- You appreciate classic, slightly faded European aristocracy vibes
- You want a resort where you never have to leave the property
- You love swimming in calm, bay-sheltered waters
