I came on my own to Corfu for two weeks at the start of the season in early May 2022. I’m possibly thinking of retiring here and wanted to see how it had changed since my last lovely visit many years ago. I wanted to be quite central and near to town so that I can easily travel the whole island. When I’m travelling like this I like small, unfussy, nice, friendly, owner-managed accommodation. (If I travel with friends we tend to hire a villa.) The Anita hotel fits this brief perfectly. Lots of love and care and attention to detail has gone into this place. Everything works – the Wi-Fi is the best I’ve experienced anywhere that I’ve stayed in a while and I haven’t yet had to use my own mobile data. The bar/ restaurant is delightful and the chef is lovely. My room is spotless and a lovely lady visits daily with a mop and a smile and changes the towels everyday too. Everything in my room works- no dud lightbulbs! The décor is plain, bright and fresh and there’s a lovely big balcony that in my case faces east and south and overlooks the immaculate rear gardens and infinity pool. (It’s been a bit chilly the first week in May so have yet to actually use it.) The swallows love it and are constantly active – buzzing my balcony and skimming the pool to drink in the evening. The bed is lovely and firm and I drop off really quickly and sleep well - which is rare for me. Yes, there’s quite a busy road outside which is the main coast road down to Benitses and beyond and the airport across the lagoon provides fascinating views of comings and goings but neither are that intrusive even when using the balcony and because the airport is so unbelievably close to the town centre and the surrounding residential districts it’s pretty much the same for many folk staying close to town – and I actually quite enjoy the background buzz of it all and which lessens during afternoon siesta and into the evening. There’s a Blue bus stop almost right outside which you can use for town and local trips if you need to or want to leave the car behind and an unbelievable amount of supermarkets wherever you go with a couple of decent small ones for basics within a few minutes walk. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation🥰
