La propiedad — Sunlight Hotel
The Sunlight Hotel is a straightforward three-star property near the popular Ipsos beach, offering sea-facing rooms with private balconies. Its lobby is clean and modern, with white walls, potted plants, and a small reception desk that feels efficient rather than showy. The hotel attracts budget-conscious couples and families who prioritise proximity to the coast over luxury, and it delivers on that promise with a saltwater pool and a simple buffet breakfast.
Crónicas de Corfu
Corfu Town’s old fortifications date back to the 6th century BC, built by Byzantine Greeks and later strengthened by Venetians, who ruled for four centuries and left distinct Italianate architecture. The British took over in 1815, adding neoclassical mansions and the public gardens, before the island unified with Greece in 1864. Today the city’s UNESCO-listed Old Town mixes Venetian palaces with French arcades and British-era squares, and its cultural identity blends Greek traditions with a cosmopolitan, café-lined waterfront.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sunlight Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor, facing the sea (south side) away from the main road – these floors offer better views and less street noise from Benitses coastal road.
Rooms to avoid
Ground-floor or 1st-floor rooms, especially those facing the road or near the lobby/bar – noise from traffic, guests, and potential service areas is higher here.
Best views
Sea-facing rooms on any floor – the hotel sits along the coast, so upper floors (3-4) give clear views over Corfu Channel and sometimes the Greek mainland.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 – further from street and common areas, with lift noise less intrusive.
🔊 Noise notes
Benitses is a lively resort with tavernas and bars on the main road – expect scooter, car, and pedestrian noise in the evening, especially on lower floors. Morning deliveries to nearby shops can also be audible.
Insider tips
Parking is tight in Benitses – ask if the hotel has a reserved spot or use the free public lot 200m east. Request a top-floor room at booking, as these go first.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principales atracciones en Corfu
💡 If you're visiting on a Sunday morning, you'll see a cricket match—Corfu is the only place in Greece where the sport is played regularly. Buy a cheese pie from a nearby bakery and sit by the Maitland Rotunda.
💡 Go just before 5pm if you want to hear the local women crowd in for the evening litany. Dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered. The reliquary can be kissed after the service if you follow the queue.
💡 Skip the cable car tourist train and walk from the end of the bus line (green bus from San Rocco Square, 1.50 euros). For a swim, take the little boat from the pier below the monastery to Vido Island—free if you swim across from the mainland (200m).
💡 Bring water and wear sturdy shoes—there are many steep steps and no shade. Entry costs 6 euros (2024), but the permanent archaeological exhibition inside is included.
💡 Entry is 4 euros, but free on the first Sunday of each month (November to March). The museum is small—you can do it properly in 45 minutes. Combine it with a walk through the nearby Anemomylos neighborhood for a coffee stop.
