Andreas Studios & Apartments

Accomodation was very basic but clean (ish). Not cleaned every day but overall ok. Shower was small but at least useable.
Self catering facilities consisted of one hob, one kettle and a fridge. No toaster or grill facilities, basically couldn't boil more than an egg or have a cup of tea.
Very noisy accommodation, was on a ground floor apartment and couldn't open doors as anyone could just walk in (had top taken from balcony on 1st night). Had to have the shutters and french doors closed at night as other guests were returning, noisily, from 2.30am to 6.30am each night. We normally holiday in Cyprus - Aiya Nappa, so am used to a bit of noise but this was excessive. Aircon offered but at 30 Euro per week.
Pool looked ok but we never used it as there were no umbrellas and none were allowed at this pool. So, unless you wanted to fry like bacon the beach was best option, where sunbeds and umbrellas were on hire at 7 euro a day (2 beds, 1 umbrella). Pool bar was never open but mini markets were very close by.
Hairy Lemon was good stop for breakfast. Just down the road towards the beach from these apartments.
If you like a curry, Viceroy Indian restaurant was very nice traditional made curries. A 10 min walk along the sea front towards the small marina.
Had to be out of room by 12 midday for a flight more than 18hrs later. Had to walk the streets! Extension available, again 30 Euro, but only till 7.30pm. Which still left 7hrs before pick up and 10.5hrs before flight.
Corfu Airport was a nightmare, queued for over 1hr without moving just to enter the building.

We really loved our holiday in Ipsos, the apartments were clean but basic.
The only complaint was that our bathroom window was next to some stairs so people could see in if we were having a shower, and we had quite a few ants in the apartments. However, it was cheap so what can you expect. We really enjoyed the location, Andreas the owner was very friendly, it is a very relaxing place.

Me and my partner spent a week here last June 2006. We are returning again this year in June 2007 as we had a wonderful holiday.
I love Corfu anyway and have stayed in various parts of the island. Andreas' apartments are comfortable clean and roomy.
The pool is just right for a cool dip after a lazy day on the beach and the area is quiet and has a wonderful view of the magnificent mountains behind. It is ideally located with everything you need on hand.
The restaurants, shops and beachfront area two minute walk from the apartment. Or if you fancied a quiet night on the balcony it is pure peace and quiet, spending the time taking in the lovely aroma and atmosphere and looking up at the perfect clear starry night.
On Ipsos sea front we hired a boat for the day from Leon's boat hire. Very reasonably priced. Last year we had a lovely day cruising around the little coves and eventually finding a hideaway shingle beach just for two to have our picnic on. We certainly will be hiring out another boat this year too.
As I am now pregnant, we decided that Andreas' Apartments was exactly where we wanted to spend our last holiday as a couple, as this holiday was one that holds special warm and happy memories for us.
