Andriana Apartments

3 readers found this review helpful

We stayed at the Andrianna in August’07. They are by far the best Greek apartments we have stayed in, and there have been a few over the years. The owners really care and it shows in the room cleanliness, the well maintained gardens, the facilities (Aircon, Sat TV, good kitchen, and nice furniture), and the fact that Andrianne herself makes the effort to ensure your stay is perfect.
The location is great too. 200m to the great beach and a 10min walk to the centre which keeps it convenient but quiet.
The resort is great. It’s got more quality (not fast food) restaurants than you need for a 14 night stay, eating at a different one every night. Try the Malibu if you want something very authentic village traditional and the Bistro for some traditional Greek and Italian. I don’t think the resort would suit a big group of teenagers, more couples and families.
We will go back and to the Andrianna too.

My husband and I stayed at the Andriana Apartments, last week in July and first week in Aug 2007. The apartments were very clean and quiet. Gardens were well kept but nowhere to lay in the sun if you didn’t wont to go to the beach. It is a good 30 minutes walk to the centre where there is not a lot to do. On the walk down you will be lucky if you see one or two people. I like quiet but we were very bored.
Had a car went to Corfu town, it is very nice. We went to most of the tavernas; all about the same food, was very salty meat and very tough. We have been to most places is Greece and the food is lovely bit not here. Don’t go to the taverna at the end of the road from the Andriana, the owner thinks all English people don’t know what home cooked food is and we only eat from the microwave, very rude.
If the apartments were somewhere other than St Georges I would stay again, but not there.

For our second year in a row we returned to the Andrianna Apartments (the first time we have ever returned anywhere), and had an equally wonderful two week stay.
The apartments are immaculately clean; offer excellent furniture, bedding and standard of accommodation, and a large cooling fan should you need one (you will!).
The surrounding gardens are obsessively looked after by Andrianna, and the apartments are just far enough off the main road to be peaceful, secluded and serene, but near enough to walk to the main centre.
Kostas and Andrianna are wonderful hosts, who will leave you to it, unless you need anything, and then will resolve any problems immediately.
Their own sun beds on the beach (3 minutes walk) are brilliant, as are the jet-ski's and motor boat (for hire) for the more adventurous travellers.
We found them to be friendly, customer focused and keen to please their valued guests (how often does that happen?).
St-George South (for us) is a fantastic resort, busy enough to provide excitement with a variety of bars and diners (Panorama is the best), but low-key enough to enjoy your own privacy on a secluded beach, should you need the space.
However, we recommend hiring a car or quad from George's to explore the other delights of Corfu (all reachable within two hours), especially the cafes' and shopping of Corfu town.
Of course, it goes without saying, that we will be returning for at least another week this coming year, hopefully to Andrianna.

My daughter and I stayed at the Adrianna apartments this October.
I must say that these apartments are the best I have stayed in St. George. The owners are very friendly helpful.
The apartments were clean modern and in a lovely tranquil spot with pleasant gardens.Maid service every day except Sunday sheets and towels changed every other day. We had a lovely big balcony which had a sea view.
Only draw back there are a few dogs down the road which leads to the main road but they are harmless.
I am certainly going back next year.

Adding to the comments made by Mrs. Southall, I would confirm that the Adrianne apartments were immaculately clean and well appointed for visitors not wishing to be in the centre of town.
As requested, we were on the top floor at the end of the landing which gave us two balconies - one the side and one to the front - this meant that we had sun at any time during the day which was a bonus when relaxing back at base, particularly on a morning or evening!
The owners were very friendly, courteous and eager to please guests staying in their accommodation. The rental for 2 sun beds and parasol of 6 euro was worth it for comfort on the beach, particularly if you did not wish to go further along the coastline, although there is a deep band of large stones to encounter before being able to walk on a sandy sea bed. If staying on the beach near to the bed hire, I would recommend purchasing some beach shoes which enabled a walk into the sea with ease. At the opposite end of town there was a beach which was more like dunes if you preferred.
The Minuses -
The apartments do not have air-conditioning and upon arriving the first night we did not have a fan. I feel that at least one fan should be placed in your room for your arrival, however, this was resolved the next day without a problem.
The Positives -
Adrianna apartments were situated just out of town but the centre was within 20 minutes slow saunter of the many and very varied bars and restaurants. We would recommend many of the restaurants and bars, however, the best in our opinion was The Panorama where you were welcomed and served in a friendly manner. The food was excellent, was very good value for money; particularly as you sat overlooking the sea view as you dined.
The supermarkets were well stocked, very reasonable and were within 5 mins walk. Each evening we were able to walk into town easily along a path running parallel to the coast line.
If you did not wish to use the beach, we would highly recommend the Hotel Bruskos (signposted to the front of the apartments). A short 2/3 min walk away, this hotel offered free use of a very clean, well maintained pool providing you did not take your own food and drink there. We found the quality of food and drink to be of a high standard, the owners making sure you were happy with your choice and only to willing to oblige you needs.
We would recommend the 'Sundowner' tour offered by Thomson. The guide walking you through Corfu old town was very interesting and enthusiastic and the short cruise along some of the coastline (as you were given a glass of wine) was very relaxing and romantic!
This was our first holiday ourselves without our children who are now grown up and it was very tranquil, relaxing and a very easy transition for us both! To be recommended for couples of all ages.
