A propriedade — Bella Mare

The Bella Mare is a no-fuss, family-run three-star perched on the road between Corfu Town and the northern beaches. Its small pool and tidy rooms serve practical travellers who want a decent base, not a resort bubble. The lobby smells of pine floor wax and faint sea air, with a stack of local bus timetables near the front desk and a framed print of the Old Fortress. It suits couples or solo visitors who plan to spend their days out exploring the island.

Crónicas de Corfu

Corfu Town was founded in the 8th century BC as a Corinthian colony and later became a Byzantine, Venetian, French and British possession before joining Greece in 1864. Venice left the deepest mark: its four-century rule built the arcaded Liston promenade, the Old Fortress and the maze of narrow cobbled streets called kantounia. French and British governors added neoclassical mansions and the Ionian Academy, Corfu's first university. Today the city blends Orthodox churches, Catholic spires and Jewish synagogues in a Unesco-listed Old Town that feels more Italian than Greek. Modern Corfu is both a working regional capital and a year-round tourist draw, its cafe life spilling onto Spianada Square under the gaze of the cricket pitch.

Melhores meses

May, June and September: settled warmth (24–30°C), low rainfall, fewer charter crowds than July–August, and hotel rates at 60–80% of August peak.

Peak / Festival Surge

July and August are the busiest, with August seeing the heaviest arrivals from UK, German and Scandinavian markets. Hotel rates can double from May levels. Cultural events include the Corfu Festival (classical concerts in historic venues) and the August 15 Dormition celebrations.

Orçamento da temporada

Late April to early May and October deliver 15–25% discounts on rooms, mild days of 20–28°C, and empty beaches – though some tavernas and boat trips begin to close from mid-October.

Tempo e embalagem

July in Corfu brings almost no rain but can have strong afternoon meltemi winds that whip up dust. Pack a light jacket or cardigan for evenings on the terrace, plus a windproof layer for the ferry or boat trips.

Livro City Briefing — Corfu

  • Corfu’s new airport terminal expansion at Ioannis Kapodistrias is due for completion in late 2026, meaning ongoing roadworks on the main access road this summer – add 15 minutes transfer time.
  • The Old Fortress reopened its restored north rampart walk in May 2026, offering new views over the Old Town and sea; entry remains €6.
  • Several beachfront tavernas on the Paleokastritsa road have switched to cash-only this season due to card machine connectivity issues.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Bella Mare, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on floors 2 or 3 facing the rear garden / courtyard – these are quietest and have private balconies (standard for a 3-star). The first floor rear also works but is closer to the lobby.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Do not accept rooms on the ground floor – noise from the lobby and street seeps in, and the windows face the pavement in Corfu town. Also skip any room above the small bar/breakfast area (usually ground-floor front) – chairs scraping and morning clatter carry.

🪟

Best views

Rear garden/courtyard view – some rooms overlook a small olive-tree area (common for Corfu town hotels). Front rooms face the street; not scenic but you see locals. If you want sunset, request a west-facing rear room (ask at check-in).

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 2 and 3 are quietest – above the street-level restaurant and away from the small lift mechanism which hums when used (it’s an older building). Floor 1 rear is acceptable but not ideal.

🔊 Noise notes

The address is on a main road in Corfu town – expect motorbikes and scooters from 8am to 10pm. The bar/breakfast area on the ground floor opens at 7am – cutlery and chair noise. The lift is manual and clanks – avoid rooms beside the lift shaft (usually next to the staircase).

Insider tips

1. Park at the municipal car park 200m south (€8/day) – Bella Mare has no on-site parking. 2. Check-in early (around 2pm) to secure the rear garden view – walk-in guests often get stuck with street-facing rooms.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principais atrações em Corfu

Spianada (Esplanade) Free

💡 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.

Church of St. Spyridon Free

💡 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.

Kanoni & Mouse Island (Vido Island) Free

💡 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).

Old Fortress of Corfu

💡 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.

Archaeological Museum of Corfu

💡 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.
