Andriana Apartments Reviews
" Just unpacked! "
Submitted By: Casblanca
For Greece - these self catering apartments are furnished to a high standard. The location is great for the beach and the nearby Brouskos pool (both 3 mins walk away).
However, the apartments are at least 25 minute walk from the resort centre which is a pain. That said - it is SOOOO expensive to eat out and the quality of food so poor that you are better eating in anyway!
We were plagues by mosquitos the whoel holiday - which rather spoiled the al fresco elements we look forward to. Take lots of repellant with you as it is cheaper in UK (we spent almost 40 eurod on spray, plug ins etc).

Advice: very quiet indeed - poor standard of food in restaurants - bring mossie repellant!
Activities: none. Aqualand worth a visit and definitely hire a car to see the island.

" Andriana Apartments "
Submitted By: Maz9
I'm afraid that our experience is not as good as the previous reviewers.
We arrived on 1 May 09 (the first of the season). The rooms were cold and the beds were damp. We told Andriana that the beds were damp and she advised that it would be 6 euros per day for heating. Firstly we objected to having to pay to air the rooms but she didn't seem to care and secondly as we were out all day on the bikes (hired from Yannis at Georges - nice guy) we asked if we could just pay for the evening as the temperature really dropped in the evening and a cold room was not ideal, but she said no. We also had problems with intermitant hot water, again she didn't seem bothered by it.
She certainly didn't come across as someone who went out of her way to help.
The apartments are in lovely grounds and a little out of the way of the main town. For those of you who map the hotel from the Thomson website (as we did) beware, the map is wrong and the hotel is in fact the opposite end of town.
If you do go this early in the season be prepared for a lot of shops and restaurants to be closed and boat trips not to have started yet. Also, we didn't find the beach that clean (litter and dog mess). Perhaps later in the season they make more of an effort.
You can use the pool at the Dora but it is a long walk (about 20mins).

" We have just returned from the... "
Submitted By: Mr S Greenaway
We have just returned from the Andriana Apartments in St Georges South and we had a great time. Apartments are clean, in beautiful grounds and Andriana is very attentive. Just a short 3-4 mins walk from the beach and the same to a pool at Brouskos Hotel where the loungers are free. Andriana gives a discount if you go to the beach and use their sun beds and also a 15% discount if you hire a boat or Jet Ski. If you are driving then turn right at the T junction when you enter the resort, past the church on your right, past two supermarkets and left turn by Kafesas Taverna. Apartments are 100m up the road facing you. We booked the apartments and flights separately with Thomson (instead of the package holiday) and saved almost £400.00, which paid for the hire car! The only difference being that resort transfer was not included but even if you do not want a car then return taxi is about 80.00 Euro, still showing a huge saving. Highly recommended!

this for anyone thats whants a wonderfull holiday to get away from everyday living.this is our second time here we loved corfu the first time we came (our hunnymoon), my husband didnt now what to get me for christmas so he booked a hoilday, we both work hard all year. we have dogs, cats, horses,so its hard to get away,but when you re here its like you have gone to another world it is just so peacefull and the people are so freindly,there are no night clubs,the bars stay open till late with light background music while you eat and drink,the beaches are wonderfull blue clear waters.with fish swimming around your feet.you can hire 2 sunbeds for about 6 euros for all day,the bars will do food for you to take away,there is nothing better than sitting on the beach with a good greek salad watching the waves,not much for kids to do unless you hire a car and take them to the water park. this isnt a holiday for young lads and lasses that want a lively holiday.the appartments were just as thay are in the brochure and on line.
andriana the lady that owns the appartments is wonderfull could not have made us more welcome,the appartments were clean fresh and well mentaned,well what more can i say we had a wonderfull time. dont forget to try the sexy dougnuts thay are good.

" Had a great holiday in the Andriana... "
Submitted By: Mrs E Vaughan
Had a great holiday in the Andriana apartments, could not have been better. Never had this standard of accomodation anywhere else in any Greek Island. Just special little touches, such as lavender bags in wardrobes, lavender draw liners, towels changed every other day, beds twice a week. Have to mention the Veranda restaurant, exellent choice of food, and such friendly owners and staff, went back again and again. The Sunset Cafe/ restaurant for a fab English breakfast, english bacon and sausages. It was very quiet when we were there, but we are going back next year, have already booked. Great sandy beach was the icing on the cake

" For a quiet, comfortable apartment... "
Submitted By: chien
For a quiet, comfortable apartment the Andriana is hard to beat. The hotel is in a beautifully kept garden with sweetly perfumed roses.
Unfortunately there is no swimming pool, but that probably accounts for the tranquillity.
It is within easy proximity to the beach and lots of wonderful tavernas for good food.
Two supermarkets are within 5 minutes walk and stock all you would need including British newspapers- same day available late afternoon/ evening.
Most holidaymakers are return customers to this hotel appt. The owner can't do enough to make your stay welcome.
She hires out Beach beds & umbrellas, boats etc on one of the cleanest bluestar beaches & gives a discount to her guests.
Please note this place is NOT for those who want a night life, or those with small children. Other hotels in the resort would be better equipped.

Submitted By: Mrs L Merritt
The apartment is spacious and clean with a safe and air conditioning for a small cost.
Within a 2 mins walk to the beach, (where you can hire a sun lounger all day for 2 euros), bars and restaurants and local supermarkets.
The owners were friendly but did not speak to them much as we had no problems or complaints.
My self and my three boys all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we will be going back next year.

Submitted By: Mrs K Cooke
Just come back from the Adrianna apartments this is the second time of staying here in ten months. Once again the rooms were clean fresh and tided every day nothing is too much trouble for Adrianna.
The rooms now have air con 6euros a night and you need it. The grounds are tended to everyday, its such a relaxing place to stay. Apartments were full but you would not know it.
Zacks and Annanise are great restaurants to eat in very friendly people and Stellas supermarket also cheap and lovely people run it. My daughter and I will be going back in October cant wait.

" We stayed at the Andrianna in... "
Submitted By: Mr T Lloyd
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... "
Submitted By: Mrs L Burelli
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... "
Submitted By: Mr D Bell
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.... "
Submitted By: Mrs K Lambton
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.
