La propriété — Lookea Sunshine
Lookea Sunshine is a 3-star hotel in Corfu, Greece, with a laid-back, family-run atmosphere. Its pastel-hued façade and tile-lined interior evoke a Mediterranean charm. The hotel's USP lies in its prime location, just a short walk from the seafront promenade and a 10-minute stroll from Corfu's old town. This makes it an ideal choice for families, couples, and solo travellers seeking a relaxed, beach-focused stay. As you step into the lobby, you're greeted by the scent of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of laughter from the breakfast area.
Chroniques de Corfu
Corfu has a rich history dating back to the 8th century BC, when it was a major centre of the ancient Greeks. The city's medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, features a mix of Venetian, French, and British architectural influences. Corfu's strategic location at the entrance of the Adriatic Sea made it a prized possession for various empires, resulting in a unique cultural identity. The city's narrow streets and picturesque piazzas are lined with neoclassical buildings, while its beaches offer a glimpse into its more recent past as a popular resort destination.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Lookea Sunshine, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th floor or above) in the main building for a quieter stay. These rooms tend to be farther from the street and the lift, which can be noisy, especially in a 3-star hotel. Corfu's streets can be lively, but the hotel's location means you'll get some traffic noise. Opting for a room in the main building will minimize this disturbance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially those near the lift, as you'll hear the constant hum of the lift and the comings and goings of guests. Rooms near the service entrance can also be noisy, especially if deliveries or maintenance work is happening late at night.
Best views
From rooms in the main building, you can enjoy views of the surrounding area, possibly including the sea if you're on a higher floor.
Quietest floors
The floors above the 3rd floor (4th floor and above) are generally quieter due to their distance from the street and the lift.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some traffic noise from the street outside, especially during peak season. The hotel's location in Corfu means you'll be close to local amenities and attractions, but this comes with some background noise.

Principales attractions à 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.
