Manuela and Simone are the most excellent hosts, truly one of a kind hospitality. Honestly go above and beyond to accommodate you and make you feel just at home. The property itself is beautifully scenic and tranquil- stunning garden and ocean view. Without them, our first time in Corfu would not have been anywhere near as good. Will be back again for sure!

My husband and spent 7 nights that have facilities to rent tat this facility. Our room didn’t look anything like the picture we seen posted. One day we had no water four other days we had no hot water to take a shower. The people were friendly enough but not really sure why people that have facilities to rent think it is ok to screwup my vacation and not not provide what we paid for. Don’t recommend at all.

We apologize for the inconvienience due to a big thunderstorm which caused several problems and it took time to fix them. Thunderstorms are powerful in Corfu and after so many months of drought it alwaye cause some problems. The guests occupied the room which appears on all sites and left a good review in our guest book.

Not bad hotel. Quiet and clean.
Clean very basic room. Far from the sea approx 200m. Sea & mountain view. Poor-boring breakfast. Room could be improved with minimum effort & expence. Good staff. Parking is an advantage. Very quiet room and hotel!!!

It is a bit far from local attractions, but there is a small beach 5 min walk or there is a proper one 15 min drive Issos beach. the personnel is very friendly and they keep everything nice and clean.

Thank you very much. The hotel offers continental breakfast and all products are quality products not cheap. Real orange juice, local ham, feta Tsopanaki one of the best in Greece, homemade lemon marmelade, freshly baked bread and chocolate cake from the local bakery on a daily base, biscuits, local tomatoes and so on. The area is not touristic and very quiet. On the east coast there are pebble beaches with crystal water suitable for snorkeling and diving

We loved stay here
The staff where very friendly and assist us with everything we needed for our holiday . The food was great , we loved the feta with the olive oil and the oregano in the mornings . 2 recommendations 1. Turn left out of the hotel and go straight down the hill to the beach then turn right go past the first restaurant about 200 metres to the next restaurant a great place to eat this leads to recommendation number 2 2. Outside the restaurant is a pontoon walk to the end before breakfast and jump in its beautiful enjoy Oh yeah 1 more thing get a car or motorcycle and see the island we loved Angela's taverna in pentati

Tiny fishing village
This hotel was lovely but you really need a car to explore the area. Without one, it is very difficult to get around. There are some nice little tavernas and other hotels on the sea front.

The hotel was clean and extremely well priced, you definitely get your value for money. The room we booked requested a double bed, but was two singles pushed together which was a little uncomfortable. My boyfriend and I stayed 3 nights here and loved how quaint the hotel is. Manuela and Valeria were brilliant in assisting us and providing their opinions on activities. The real downside of this hotel is that it really is out of the way compared to town, etc (to the point where the taxi at the airport didn't want to take us). We hired a quad for a day and that was easy enough - the place is in a fishing village so there are amazing taverns with super fresh fish nearby that you can access by foot. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it for couples/individuals who would rather prefer some downtime away from the action.

First honeymoon, it was perfect. A family runned hotel. Thank you Manuela, Franco and Deeanna for making our stay wonderful. Beautiful people. The beach is amazing, just a few minutes walk away! Quiet and full of locals, no tourists, so very pleasent for a quiet relaxing stay. Be sure to try the grilled feta and tziziki at Bourkari restaurant! They too are also good! Will visit again next year!! Much love to Hotel Helios Splendid! X

Away from the madding crowd.
An older hotel and our room was quite compact, but very clean. All of the fittings are new. Nice gardens/sitting out area for the continental breakfast etc. The owners are mature and very friendly and helpful. The Peris supermarket is close by and Andrea there is lovely, helpful and is English if you no speaka da language. No need to travel further than Messingo, about 8 miles for a good beach and tavernas etc. and the food is less expensive than nearby. A little difficult to locate, but worth the effort. We enjoyed ourselves there and would go there again.

Breakfasts simple but offered greek yoghurt / honey & Manuela's homemade marmalade excellent. Out of the way so car needed. Local tavernas all helpful & friendly & excellent fish restaurant within 200yds. For those seeking some quiet but good access to local beaches & facilities. 40 min drive from airport.

Small well positioned off beaten track hotel
Hotel Helios Splendid is well positioned being set amongst olive (and fruit) trees yet 200 meters from the beach, harbour and a very good fish restaurant. The view from our balcony of the sea and surrounding countryside was beautiful. The hotel was a little dated but clean and well cared for, with flowers all around. The hotel is small (12 rooms and 1 apartment). The owner was very friendly and helpful although conversation was difficult as he spoke very little English. He gave good advice about places to visit on the island.

Am Hang gelegen die Straße rauf sollte man gut zu Fuß sein oder sich ein Fahrzeug mieten. Die Zimmer sind zweckmäßig eingerichtet und sauber. Der Service (mehrsprachig) hilfreich und gut. Deshalb - ein Pool wäre nett gewesen. Strand ist in der Ecke kaum vorhanden. Und wenn ,dann aus feinem Kies. Das Frühstück leider grottenschlecht. Die Abrechnung am Schluss verwirrend und zunächst nicht nachvollziehbar. Das liegt jedoch an Expedia. Fazit: Ich würde es nochmal buchen. Aber nicht über Expedia.

Es war mehr ein B&B als ein Hotel. Wenn man das im Kopf hat ist es genau das Richtige. Aber kein Pool, wenige Komfort aber super schöne Anlage. Beim Frühstück wären Joghurt und z.B. Wassermelone toll gewesen - Eierspeisen kosten extra. Aber als B&B perfekt. Man muss nur unbedingt einen Mietwagen haben, da es sehr am Berg liegt und wenig in der Umgebung ist. Betten nicht wirklich bequem, Bad ausbaufähig und der Nachbarshund hat uns mehrfach geweckt. Wir haben das Hotel an sich aber an sich gut gefunden! Man bekommt was man für den Preis erwarten kann

Uniche cose da segnalare la tenda nella doccia che risulta scomoda e le camere poco isolate da un punto di vista acustico.

Nice hotel close to the beach
Un Hotel/B&B con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. In una posizione molto tranquilla, vicino alla piccola spiaggia di Bourkari e ad alcune caratteristiche taberne (osterie) con ottimo pesce fresco. La struttura è tenuta in buone condizioni e molto pulita, anche se alcuni interventi di piccola manutenzione sarebbero apprezzati. La gestione è familiare, e questo è il punto forte della struttura. La Sig.ra Manuela, proprietaria tuttofare, è un vero tesoro di informazioni, consigli e suggerimenti. Sempre disponibile, paziente e sorridente con tutti gli ospiti. La clientela è internazionale, senza una prevalenza specifica.

Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment à l'hôtel Hélios splendide,. Nous sommes un peu perdu en arrivant car nous sommes arrivés en descendant vers la mer et avons pas mal tourné avant de remonter et trouver enfin l'hôtel car le panneau est visible d'un côté de la route. Heureusement, malgré que nous avions dépassé l'heure d'arrivée, un petit mot près de l'accueil, dans le jardin, nous attendait avec toutes les instructions nécessaires pour accéder à notre chambre vraiment très joliment décorée. Le lendemain matin au petit déjeuner nous avons rencontré les propriétaires vraiment charmants.
