Corfu Luxury at The Olivar Suites
If you're planning a luxurious getaway to Corfu, The Olivar Suites hotel should be at the top of your list. Nestled in the charming village of Messonghi, this exquisite resort offers a blend of modern comfort and traditional charm, providing an unforgettable experience for all its guests. Here’s why you should consider staying at the Olivar Suites:
I had the pleasure of staying in a Premier Suite with a private pool, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The suite was spacious, elegantly decorated, and equipped with all the modern amenities you could wish for. One standout feature was the in-room iPad, which allowed me to order room service, book housekeeping, and make restaurant reservations with ease.
For those looking for a bit more space, the Executive Suite is a fantastic option. It’s similar to the Premier Suite but boasts a larger pool with an olive tree centrepiece. While it lacks an additional bathroom, the extra space and unique ambience make it a favourite among guests. In fact, these suites are so popular that they're often booked up for the entire year.
The Olivar Suites offers a variety of accommodations to suit different needs. The Corfiot Suite is the only two-bedroom suite available, ideal for families or groups. Meanwhile, the Ionian Suites come with a private pool and beachfront access, perfect for those seeking a luxurious beachside retreat.
The bar, ‘OliBar’, is located on the beautiful stretch of beach, and all sunloungers come with press for service buttons.
The hotel provides top-notch amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The pools, while not heated, are cleaned daily, ensuring a pristine swimming experience. For those interested in fitness, the small yet well-equipped gym is open 24/7. Additionally, the on-site spa features three treatment rooms offering a range of relaxing therapies.
Food lovers will be delighted by the culinary offerings at FLYA, the hotel’s restaurant. The food is incredible, and the service is professional and attentive. For a unique experience, don’t miss the weekly olive oil tastings, a nod to the hotel’s history as an olive mill.
One of the highlights of staying at the Olivar Suites is its convenient location. While there is a road separating the suites from the main restaurant and pool area, it adds to the charm by providing easy access to local shops and restaurants giving you a sense of freedom. Despite initial concerns, I found the proximity to the road beneficial, as it placed me closer to the beach and dining options.
For those looking to explore beyond the resort, Corfu offers numerous attractions. Towns like Kassiopia, Palaiokastritsa Village, Benitses, and of course, Messonghi, where the resort is located, are worth visiting. Each offers a unique taste of Corfiot culture and scenic beauty.
For those planning special occasions, the nearby ‘Courti Estate’ is ideal for weddings and other events. During my stay, a celebrity was even preparing for their wedding here and all of them stayed at The Olivar Suites, adding a touch of glamour to the atmosphere.
In conclusion, the Olivar Suites hotel in Corfu offers an unparalleled blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a peaceful retreat, this resort provides everything you need for an unforgettable stay.
