Great place to stay!

Me and one of my friends stayed at Olgas studios for a week in June. We were a bit apprehensive as we managed to get the holiday quite cheap but was very impressed and greatly suprised. The appartments were basic but clean and we had everything we needed and were cleaned everyday. It is within a short distance of the beaches (spectacular scenery), the supermarket, shops, bars but is in a quiet location although about 5 minutes walk from the heart of the more livelier Sidari.
There are some wonderful restaurants, I was a bit concerned as I am a vegetarian but was well catered for. We ate at The Three Brothers Hotel one night which was outstanding and the staff were very friendly.
We booked with Thompson and the rep wanted us to book some very expensive excursions. When we didn't take up the offer she continued to ignore us (used peer pressure) and focused all her attension on the couple who did. We managed to find some excursions which were alot cheaper in town (S B Travel). We went on a coach trip to Corfu town at night (cost us 8 euros return) and another to Bella Vista and Paleokastricta (also costing us 8 euros return) which took us to a kumquat distillery for taste testing, a monastry, paleokastricta (we then paid 7 euros to go on a boat going into the caves) and lastly to makrades market. Both I would highly recommend.
I would go back to Olgas. The only other negative I would say was the transfer on the way back took 2 and a half hours picking everyone up going to the airport (taking an hour on the way there) and then the flight was delayed by 4 hours which one couple said has occurred the 5 times they have traveled from Corfu airport-not an airport you want to be delayed at, so take lots of water on the journey back!

Mikey and his staff are the most welcoming and helpful we have come across. The apartments are spacious and spotlessly clean. The pool and bar area are well tended with plenty of sun loungers to go round. The restaurant serves drinks and meals all day and the bar is open as late as you want it. Most welcoming when you arrive at 1 o'clock in the morning. The beach is only a 2 min walk from the apartments and the shops and restaurants less than 5. You couldn't ask for a better location.
We will be back in August!

We have just returned from a two week break at the Olga apartments in Sidari. I was a bit anxious about what to expect from previous reviews. However, our accommodation was really good, the apartments (2 bedroom) was really quite spacious, although the kitchen was quite basic but functional. Stayed with our two kids who had a great time by the pool each day.
Accommodation really close to everything - short walk to beach and nightlife - but quiet enough that you could actually get some sleep.
Everyone connected with the hotel really friendly - drinks and food at the bar quite reasonable. Would recommend the Greek night - we have a really good time.
Would certainly consider going to this accommodation if going again to Corfu.

Me and my boyfriend have just returned back from Olga apartments.
It was our first holiday together and in our early twenties we wanted to make sure the place we stayed was suited for our age as well as being nice for a young couple who want quiet too.
Well, we could not fault this holiday except not going for two weeks! It was absolutly perfect. The beaches are beautiful - breath taking. They have lovely soft sand and clear clear clear water! There are lovely rocks situated just a small swim from the sand where you can sit on and enjoy the scenic views! Many people sun bathed on them and it just looked beautiful.
All the rocks and caves are wonderful, you can have a choice of so many beaches with minutes of walking distance - some that are discrete and quiet or others which a full and busy without having to travel/walk any futher than 3 minutes. Even though they are close they are all broken up by beautiful rocks which make them seperated.
Olga apartments was lovely! siuated in the best place they could be - by far the best place to stay for location. your 5-10minutes from the busy nightlife of the strip but you can walk out of that by olga apartments for the quiet nightlife.
It is lovely. I would go again any day! Please don't get put of by moaning people - honestly it is lovely! ENJOY

We have just returned from the Olga Apartments in Sidari in Corfu. We stayed in the older apartments but although they are basic they have all the facilities you'd want. The owner Mike and the reception staf Ria and Angie can't do enough to help you out. The food and drinks are well priced near the pool.
Mike the owner also runs Nikolas Restaurant which is just along the road, you can have a good meal for two with drinks for well under thirty euros. You can get a ltre carafe of wine for 6 euro's. The wine is good as well.
I would recommend these apartments to anyone.

Sep 2007, Mrs L Battye

We stayed at the Olga Apartments in June 2006 for 1 week. Olga's is made up of two parts, one being fairly new, and modern the other being a bit run down and in need of TLC! We were placed in the latter.
The room was fairly big but was very dated and in need of a lick of paint. The bathroom was very small with a shower in the corner of the room very close to the toilet with a shower curtain that clung to you for dear life when you showered! The kitchen area was not very clean and housed a lot of ants.
That said we felt that we got what we paid for.
On the last day we paid to keep our room for a longer and were moved to a room in the new block which was really nice. Very new, modern and nice and clean. A thousand times better than what we'd had for the week. I’d advise anyone of thinking of staying here to request the new block when you book.

The apartments have a pool area with sunbeds on the grass surrounding and a bar serving food as well. We always went to the beach which was about a ten minute stroll from Olga’s. Although you do have to cross the canal which is a bit whiffy!
Sidari is a nice little resort with some very nice restaurants and bars. If you’re looking for busy nightlife this won’t be the place for you.
We went in June and the weather was brilliant.

My 1st time in Greece - first time in a 2 star hotel, I loved it!
Normally go to Spain and this hotel was far better than some 3 star hotels I’ve stayed in before.
Stayed in 1 bed apart which was absolutely huge! Lovely balcony area - 2 in fact, well equipped kitchen - micro, oven, 2 rings, and kettle - also free bottle of water on arrival - don’t know how many times I have arrived in the middle of the night and been gasping for a drink, so this was nice.
Rooms have air con - just a few euros a day but well worth it as I got attacked by the mosquitoes when leaving room doors open!
Pool area is fine however all bars and hotels are open to public so u can choose where u want to go every day. Kanali hotel across the road had a beautiful pool area looking over cliffs!
Pool food at olga’s was good too.
Restaurant wise I recommend the pizzeria next to Churchill’s and the 3 little pigs.
Cactus Jacks has a great singer - Bondi go see him!
Excellent value for money.

Jul 2007, Miss L Routledge

I and 2 friends have just got back from the Olga Apartments this weekend.
I and my friends have just been diagnosed with scabies as we have itched non stop all week!!!!
One can only assume this was due to the beds and poor hygiene in the apartments so be warned......
We found the air conditioning definetely wasnt up to scratch, in temperatures well into the 90's it is not powerful enough to keep the rooms cool and we found ours was also leaking on the floor.
The location was ideal as only a 1 minute to the local beach although if you are disabled you will find it extremely difficult to get to as you literally have to walk down a very small cliff to get to it!
I would go back to Sidari but not back to the Olga Apartments.

We went to the Olga Apartments on a late deal (allocated on arrival). I always fear the worst when we do this, but the apartments were fantastic.
They were spacious, and comfortable in the beautiful surrounds of there own gardens.
The Canal D'Amour "strip" was just a 100 yard walk away, whilst the main Sidari "strip" was about half a mile away. Both were lovely, with wonderful bars and restaurants.
I would highly recommend both the resort, and the Olga Apartments. We plan on returning.

A lovely family run accommodation....
9 / 10
Aug 2006, Miss R Parfitt

A lovely family run accommodation. They were very friendly, and were always willing to help. The family also own a restaurant very nearby, 'Nicholas' which serves lovely food (try the Greek dish made with beef and red sauce).
Our rooms were very large, and although basic they had everything we needed: Fridge, hob, kettle, hair dryer etc. The linen and towels were changed twice a week if you are staying for a fortnight (I think it's only once if you are staying a week). And room service is free!!!
The pool isn't huge, but big enough, and you can have food ordered to the poolside!! There are plenty of free sun loungers, but get up early if you want them next to the pool. If you don’t want to stay in the sun too long then there's a few trees for shade.
There are a few shops and quiet pubs by the hotel, or if you prefer some where a bit more exciting it's approx 10 minutes from the town and beach, but it seems a lot longer if you're staggering back after a night out! There are plenty of clubs and shops, although they seem to sell the same sort of things.
The main town of Corfu is about a half hour bus journey, but well worth it to shop and to see the sights. I had a great time, and without a doubt would go again!

Jun 2006, Miss J. N. Hartley

A lovely setting, situated perfectly. Right next to Canal D'amour and close to shops, and only a few minutes walk away from the tavernas and bars. A place for everyone, not too busy so doesn't get all the young party-goers, but still got plenty for those who want quiet days and entertaining nights.
The Greek nights are brilliant fun, definitely advise you to try. Spiros' brother owns a hotel just up the road to Olga where a Greek night is held, it's fun and it involves you with the staff.
The Three Little Pigs is very close by to Olga-this is a very lively restaurant. Greek dancing, plate throwing and fire!! The apartments are perfectly situated to many different restaurants offering many different styles of food, try them all, they're delicious!
Enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, people are lovely (like a second family!). Loved it so much we're going back this year-wouldn't go to any other accommodation.

Mar 2006, Miss L Turnbull

This hotel is the most friendly, relaxing & beautiful place. We went for a friends wedding, it was amazing. All the staff were sensational, Ria is so helpful & adorable.
The rooms are of top quality, very, very clean & wonderfully decorated. My fiancé & I are getting married next year & we will most definitely be going back for our honey moon. There is everything you could want on your door step, the meals are fab & the atmosphere is fantastic, every one makes you feel at ease.
Thanks for a wonderful holiday. Lisa & Sean xxx. See you next year.
