Blue Gardens Apartments

4 readers found this review helpful

The Blue Gardens Apartments in Roda, Corfu are wonderful. Not just because they are in the relaxing resort of Roda but because they are run by a a very special, friendly family, Elena, Andreas and Kostas who cannot do enough for you all day long to make your holiday one to remember. And not forgetting little Marianthi, Elena and Andreas's daughter, who will also keep you amused, she's a real cutie!
We have just returned from a relaxing week in Roda, our first time in Corfu and are so pleased we chose the Blue Gardens, as the apartments have everything you need. A small complex of just eleven apartments and a 700m stroll from the beach, shops, tavernas and restaurants. But if you don't want to walk into the resort, food is available all day at the pool bar and it comes with a personal warm welcome everytime.
We stayed in a one bedroom apartment that consisted of a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and balcony. There's a good sized fridge, kettle, toaster and cooking facilities. They are extremely clean and well maintained, probably the highest standard we have encountered on our numerous self catering trips to many Greek Islands.
We always read reviews before we go away and we were delighted to read the excellent reviews of the Blue Gardens but you can never be certain until you experience it for yourself. Well, here's another review, one that will hopefully convince you to visit an idyllic little complex in a lovely resort.

We stayed at Blue Gardens for the first time in June 2008 for one week, and had the most marvelous holiday ever. We had such a fantastic time that we booked a further 2 weeks in September from which we have just returned home. Again we had a superb holiday, and returned home reluctantly.
Owned and ran by Elena and Andreas, with the assistance of Costas the barman, and the 2 Grandads George and Andreas Sr., this family run complex is second to none. Four year old Marianthi is a beautiful little girl who loves to befriend you, and will keep you entertained. All devote their summer to giving their guests a wonderful holiday to remember. Nothing is too much trouble for any of them.
The whole complex is immaculate, and the appartments spotlessly clean.. with hot water on tap whatever time of day or night (which is a luxury in the Greek Islands).
The food is fantastic with an extensive menu to suit all tastes..even special dietary needs are catered for. The steak nights, and Greek nights are not to be missed, the food is out of this world and the entertainment great fun, oh and don't miss the Sunday roast.
Only a short walk from Roda town, Blue Gardens is a wonderful place to stay. Needless to say we are returning in June 2009.

If you want a wonderfull relaxing holiday surrounded by fantastic people then the Blue Gardends is the place for you. Because of the brilliant service provided by Andreas, Kostos and Elana most of the guests have been before so it is like joining a big family which will keep on growing. Nothing is too much trouble and Kostas if you ever get to read this I don't care what my wife says I think you are even better looking than Dustin !
If you ever get a chance to meet these wonderfull people DO NOT HESITATE. The place is so warm and friendly that guests for the appartments next door joined us on a regular basis.
My family and I have every intention of returning to see our new family as soon as possible and I suggest you book now whilst you can !
