“Just the most wonderful holiday, rebooked for this year!”

Visited for my first time in July for 5 days with a friend, it really was the most wonderful trip from start to finish and far exceeded our expectations (which are already high)! The hotel has been recently refurbished throughout and is spotless, the views are to die for and the staff are so friendly. The beaches are lovely (take your rock shoes) and the water is crystal clear, the new addition of the jetty to jump off is great. Callao the beach club and restaurant linked to the hotel is wonderful, we went on jazz night which had such a great atmosphere and the food was delicious. Breakfast in the hotel is plentiful with so many options for everyone and it’s a great spot for a pre dinner drink in the sunshine. We also visited some of the local restaurants - the food scene here really is exceptional fine dining. Would recommend The White House and Toulas (via Georges boat). We also spent a day at Crystal Beach club which is only 20 mins walk away which was lovely. Very relaxed and low key. The owner of the hotel Maria was delightful and so kindly gave us a leaving gift of olive oil hand soap. We also had local olive oil and oregano in our room which was such a treat. I came home telling the family how wonderful Kalami and San Antonio was that we are returning with the whole family (3 rooms) in May this year! Cannot wait to see you all again! The Munday family.

The San Antonio is a beautiful hotel. The views from our lovely room were fantastic. We love Corfu but Kalami is extra fabulous. The food was great, plus their other restaurant opposite the hotel called the Callao - a bit more expensive but with fine dining vibe. Thomas's restaurant was another one we enjoyed . We also loved the swimming pool at the top which luckily was almost outside our room. Beautiful extra thick mattresses on the sunbeds. You can take the bus into Kassiopi which is a really nice little town. Lovely walk to Kouloura with a nice looking taverna (lunch only) we didn't go in but it looked great. There is a beach a bit further on from Kouloura called Chouchoulia I think that's right - similar anyway! Beautiful for swimming there or just taking in the beauty of the place. San Antonio is built on a few levels so some less mobile people might find it a bit hard. We did see a lady there who was slightly disabled using a stick and she seemed quite happy. There are also lifts and a buggy to take people up and down. We would love to come back here very soon. Hope the cat family are doing OK. We loved them!

“Relaxing stay in beautiful Kalami”

What a lovely setting this hotel is in. Perched on the hillside in blocks of rooms, all but the very lower ones have a spectacular view out across Kalami bay.

What a lovely setting this hotel is in. Perched on the hillside in blocks of rooms, all but the very lower ones have a spectacular view out across Kalami bay. We were in block 3 (level 2 on the lift) in what the hotel describe as a lavish sea view room. It was spacious with a comfy super king sized bed, a lovely balcony with table & chairs and a great bathroom with walk in shower. Have to say though that some of the furniture in the room is looking a bit tired and could do with updating - the surfaces of the bedside tables and dressing table were scratched and stained, as was the small tea/coffee station table, which was also wobbly. It was all clean though. As others have said, reception and the restaurant are on the lower level so it’s a walk down steps and an incline for breakfast, to access the village and other tavernas etc. But they do run a buggy which will take you back up the incline to the bottom lifts which we used a few times. Reception staff and in fact all staff were friendly, welcoming and very happy to help. Reception booked the water taxi for us so we went to Corfu Town for a day trip. Well worth it as Corfu old town is beautiful. We also visited Kassiopi which is about 15 mins away by taxi (€20 each way) which again reception ordered for us. There is a bus service which runs along the top road from Corfu town to Kassiopi however it doesn’t always run to time so we opted to use a taxi for convenience. Breakfast was buffet style with ample choice of both cold and hot offerings. It was usually busiest between 9-10am when getting a table could be a challenge so we ended up going to breakfast a bit earlier in order to get a table. Service was a bit hit and miss at times with the staff very busy clearing tables so getting tea and coffee both initially and top ups was sometimes a bit slow. Maybe the option of having a teapot for tea and a cafetière for coffee would help solve this? We ate here (as it becomes the evening dinner restaurant) in the evening on our first night. We had a very pleasant meal and bottle of wine. Overall we had a lovely holiday. Kalami is pretty and we enjoyed exploring the area and the local tavernas - Callao and Thomas’s Place. We loved the little cove at Yialiskari, about a 20 minute walk from Kalami. There’s a beach taverna called Crystal Beach bar there which did light lunches and snacks. We used the sunbeds (can’t lie on pebble beaches anymore lol) which were €30 for front row and €20 for row behind and included 2 bottles of water and service to the sun beds. We can definitely recommend a stay here. There’s hotel is lovely as is Kalami.

Tengo sensaciones mixtas con este hotel. Desde luego, no es mal hotel, pero tiene cosas que hacen imposible que se le considere un 5 estrellas e impensables para el precio que tiene. La habitación estaba muy bien, pero de nuevo, no la considero una 5 estrellas, aunque la cámada era cómoda. Las contraventanas del balcón se fijaban al suelo con un pincho oxigado que te podías clavar en el pie si no tenías cuidado. La tele diminuta y antigua (en hoteles de menos categoría puedes conectar el móvil, ver Netflix...). Por cierto, el 90% de los canales eran alemanes. Lo del enchufe en la mesilla que sólo haya uno y en el siglo XXI tengas que desconectar la lámpara de noche para cargar el móvil es algo que nunca entenderé a la hora de diseñar la habitación y su sistema eléctrico. ¿El baño? La cisterna perdía agua. El mango de ducha era penoso: viejo, el agua salía disparada a todas partes... el agua a veces no salía suficientemente caliente. Lo del gimnasio es una de las cosas que más me molestaron porque reservé este hotel en parte porque se anunciaba como con gym. Y eso no es un gimnasio. Un gimnasio no es dos máquinas de correr, una comba y unas pesas de rehabilitación. Sé que no es un gimnasio de una cadena fitness en una ciudad pero que menos que tener mancuernas de más de 8kg, una banca para hacer pecho y algo para espalda tipo barra de dominadas o remo. Un mínimo. Entiendo que si eres una persona mayor o haces running pueda valerte, pero eso no es un gimnasio. ¿Hay algo positivo? Sí. Lo primero, el personal / staff. Atento, amable, trabajador y educado. De verdad, tanto de recepción como de los bares y restaurante. También las vistas de la habitación eran geniales. Las dos piscinas con bar son espectaculares, la de abajo muy moderna y la de arriba con unas tremendas vistas. El restaurante: se comía muy bien y a un precio razonable. Los otros dos sitios de la zona fuera del hotel son una verguenza para estafar a extranjeros. Más de 30 euros por un risotto... por lo menos el restaurante del hotel era calidad y buen precio con excelente servicio. El desayuno también estaba muy bien. Y hay parking gratuito. En resumen, buen hotel, pero no es un 5 estrellas. Hay cosas que deben mirar para lo que cobran y cómo se venden.
