Spiti Prifti Apartments

1 reader found this review helpful

We stayed in Spiti Prifti some time ago, on an 'allocated on arrival' basis through a very cheap last minute break.
We couldn’t have asked for better if we'd gone through all the brochures and chosen for ourselves.
A lovely friendly place, fantastic pool, good food (specially the chocolate mousse and the huge watermelon).
Apartments were good - no frills but then we hadn’t paid for any and got more than we expected!
Certainly looking to visit Corfu again in 2007, we will be booking back at the Spiti Prifti, and you can't ask for better recommendation than that.

We have just returned from our second visit to Spiti Prifti and we would return again and again. The apartments are very clean and comfortable. Eleni and her parents will go out of their way to make you welcome. The staff are wonderful - In fact they are all one big family. The resort has everything you could want for a holiday whatever your age. Would not think twice about recommending to anybody.

My family and I have been returning to Spiti Prifti apartments for the last 14 years, we cannot find another self-catering holiday like it in any of the other Greek islands.
Eleni and all the staff at Spiti Prifti are amazing they are always there to help if you have any problems. All of the apartments are spacious consisting of a bathroom, two bedrooms with double glazing a kitchen with oven, microwave and fridge it also includes a large balcony.
The pool area is very large and has a pool table and a snack bar which is also very clean.
We always look forward to visiting Spiti Prifti every year and we will continue to return for many years.

Myself, my partner and another couple (all in our late 20's) just spent a week in Gouvia. Spiti Prifti Hotel was recommended to me by a customer in the shop where I work, of all places!
The accommodation is excellent. I have stayed in many apartments/studios/hotel rooms all over Greece and this apartment was by far the best. It was immaculately clean, spacious, well equipped (kettle, fridge, cooker, oven, microwave, utensils etc). We had two good sized bedrooms and a huge balcony. Our apartment was double glazed with Free Air Con (in July anyway!).
The pool area is beautiful, again very clean, with small palm trees and grassy area with free beds/umbrellas. Only thing I would say is the pool is quite deep so would be unsuitable for small, unsupervised children. But for adults, we had a great time and it never seemed crowded!
The staff are what really made the holiday special. Eleni is absolutely lovely, cant do enough to help, simple as that. The staff really do want to make your holiday a great one, we had a wonderful time with Babis and Demitris who work in the hotel restaurant. The restaurant and bar are both very nice and very reasonable price-wise.
The resort of Gouvia is reasonably small, it was perfect for us as it had lots of restaurants and shops, a few bars and a couple of clubs. We had amazing food in most of the restaurants, can’t remember any names but we were all impressed overall and the local wine was lovely. We never went to Gouvia beach as I think it is quite small and pebbly. We found the best beaches on the West Coast (Glyfada/Agios Georgeos area) and Corfu Town is great for shopping. It has many windy streets with tourist shops and the main square has lots of restaurants/coffee shops. There is a bus there from outside Spiti Prifti.
Overall, Gouvia would be great for couples and families who want to escape the 'English' resorts and are looking for somewhere quiet(ish) but with plenty of restaurants/shops etc. Spiti Prifti was wonderful, beautiful pool and surroundings, clean, well equipped apartments and great location (200m to Gouvia resort). We will definitely return in the future.
