What I liked: the owners/staff was very friendly, the pool, location Now I understand that this was a comfort apartment but I still disliked: the creaking beds, the doors that do not close properly and its locks are very noisy, other guests late in the night kept waking us up just by opening their doors, the kitchen part was poorly equipped, no big deal but only 1 butter knife for 2 people.

Relaxing time
We were in economic apt. There were a big balcony, very comfortable for our breakfasts. The pool was incredible. Sunbeds, a pool bar with really good food. That was really good to stay with you.

Really clean and tidy, great position and the pool was a real bonus. Just needed more than a sheet on the bed for a bit of comfort, guess we only needed to ask! Many Thanks

BEST HOLIDAY AND KINDEST PEOPLE!
Absolutely lovely people! Very kind and helpful, would definitely stay there again. I left my bag in a restaurant and the manager went out of his way to find the restaurant, call them and had my bag returned that evening, everything in it just as I left it. Things like that just wounds happen in London. So grateful! Sad To leave. Thank you so much!

Booked Elli Marina but got put into Gina studios bit disappointed
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019
Response from Andreas Spinoulas on 19 Jun,2019
Good Afternoon. If you booked Elli Marina you where in Elli Marina. Gina Studios is above the pool area and above the parking area, up the hill, with gardens and it is more expensive than Elli Marina. Up to now we have not upgraded in this season anyone to Gina Studios. Elli Marina has to buildings. the main with studios and apartments, and the smaller attached with separate entrance that has the economy studios. Since this an anonymous review we are not aware if your reservation was for an economy studio or a studio at Elli Marina. Definitely you were not at the Gina Studios Villa. Probably the combined signs in the pool area confused you. Or the information book that also mentions Gina Studios. Nevertheless, you can always contact us for any further explanation. Thank you for staying with us. Kind regards, Andreas Spinoulas

Lovely holiday
We stayed in a two room apartment (2 adjoined studio rooms). No complaints at all for what we paid. Lovely swimming pool, spacious room, and very happy with our veranda. Rooms were spotlessly clean. Helpful owners. Bathroom could do with a refurbishment but that would make it more expensive and we could live with it. Beds comfortable. Location excellent for beach, restaurants and bus stop. Very happy with our holiday overall.

Warm welcome and fabulous pool - a hidden gem
Basic accommodation, very good value, but what makes Elli Marina a fantastic choice is the warm welcome and attention to detail. We were welcomed with complimentary water and a bottle of wine and bath slippers. The pool and bar area ar first class and the service and food were fabulous. We would definitely recommend Elli Marina!

For Price, Location + Room - You Can't Go Wrong.
Great experience all around, we were three 18 year old girls staying in a studio on the ground floor. Suited us perfectly as could travel into Corfu Town for the day as Blue Buses were easy to catch just from outside and Benitses on doorstep. Pool area was nice for quick dip and the water lovely temperature, stayed in late August / early September so was barely anyone there but could imagine it being busier in more peak time with amount of sun loungers around. The studio itself was large and more than enough room, good safe, fridge and housekeeping to make room everyday which was lovely and new towels every three days. We would recommend for first time using the airport pick up services for 30 euros provided through Elli Marina as brought you straight there but once know location was easy to catch bus back to airport. The owners always around pool to ask if needed anything and very friendly. Check in and out very simple. If looking for a lot of nightlife then perhaps closer not the best location, didn't go to Kavos as was long trip and going to Corfu Town (not many nightclubs anyway, mostly bars in certain and only one 30 minutes walk from centre) meant getting last bus at 11;30 and then one back in the morning (6:30 / 7:50) however was good for a mixture of relaxing and late nights in restaurants / on the beach.

Very good location
Very nice pool. perfect location, about 30yrds up a quite lane just off the the main strip. 5 mins Walk to beach. Very clean rooms and comunial areas. In general very appealing property. On the bad side the shower is very small, could do with updating. The beds are a bit hard for my taste. The television set is a bit on the temperamental.

Lovely apartments with a pool
We had a two bedroom apartment.Both had balconies. Extremely clean. Kitchen area had an oven with 2 hobs on top and minimal kitchen equipment. Warm and friendly hosts and staff. Air con, safe and wi fi provided at no extra cost which was a refreshing change. Bar by the pool provided snacks and although we didn't partake of the breakfast it looked very good. The shingle beach was a few minutes away. There is a steep hill up to the apartments. The only downside for us was the lack of an area to relax in on a comfortable seat.

Nice hotel, in good location
The hotel was just perfect for my stay in Corfu. It was only 20 min away from main town of Corfu, in benitses, a small but with lots of things to do town. The owner was very polite and helpful. The only issue was the tight squeeze to get to the hotels parking space. Apart from that, just fine. Would recommend it

This maybe s good thIng or bad thing? Depends on what you are after. Conclusion Overall, pretty decent. Worth the money 4/4

La habitación era muy pequeña, sin armarios para guardar comida, sin espacio para moverte, la cocina minúscula y sin utensilios apenas. Lo peor de la habitación sin duda fue la cama: ruidosa y muy incómoda. Cabe decir que aunque la habitación fuera horrible, el personal fue muy agradable.

Super pobyt
Dobry pobyt, co prawda nie mieszkaliśmy w głównym obiekcie, ale innym, który był w innym budynku, ale w porządku. Obsługa bardzo miła i kulturalna. Basen super, bardzo dobry bar basenowy. Pokój był czysty i niewielki, myślę, że nie zaszkodziła by mała renowacja :) Sprzątanie ok, co parę dni, szkoda, że nie codziennie. Balkon był dostępny, woda ciepła i zimna, nie było z tym żadnych problemów. Nie korzystaliśmy z klimatyzacji ze względów zdrowotnych, ale widziałam, że była dostępna (taka w dość starym stylu). Obiekt oferuje transfer lotniskowy, warto z niego skorzystać i zarezerwować wcześniej, bo okazuje się, że jest jednym z tańszych na Korfu.

Lo consiglio. A 2 minuti a piedi dalla via centrale di Benitsess, la mia stanza (n 5) aveva lo stretto necessario ma completa. Pulizia ogni 3 giorni, con balconcino, letto matrimoniale comodo composto da due materassi, bagno piccolo ma funzionale. Personale gentile! Parcheggio privato (con una bella salita!!!..come tutte le strade dell’isola)

Vi kom tidligt, men de sørgede for vi kunne få morgenmad, og arrangerede, at vi kunne checke ind tidligere end aftalt. Familiedrevet af meget venlig, kompetent og serviceminded indehaver og personale. Fin morgenmad og meget fin rengøring. Området fint, med mange restaurenter og nem adgang til stranden. Fine busforbindelser med bybus til Corfu by ca hver 45 minutter. Helt sikkert et sted vi regner med at komme tilbage til

Petit bémol, la douche 80 cm est trop petite surtout avec un rideau. Sinon l'appartement était très spacieux et propre (ménage tous les jours). Ambiance autour de la piscine très zen parfait pour se reposer. Emplacement à 50 m de la mer et des commerces et reqtaurants. Centre ville à 200m. Les patrons sont tres sympas.

L emplacement est idéal ! 5 min a pied du village et juste en face de la mer. La piscine est un plus pour se détendre après une journée visite ou plage... Les appartements sont spacieux et doté d'un équipement minimal mais amplement suffisant. Le ménage est parfait bravo aux femmes de ménage... Les petits plus : dosettes de café, thé et petite bouteille de vin decouvert a notre arrivée nous on enchanté... Le lieu est reposant... je trouve que le prix des petits déjeuners étaient bien trop excessifs... En tout cas bel établissement a recommander !!!

Struttura splendida splendente
Ho scelto il monolocale economy, tutto concentrato in una camera, con due letti singoli, un lavabo un frigo, un forno a microonde e un fornello a due piastre. Bagno a parte, un buon balcone attrezzato con tavolino e stendibiancheria. Pulizie quotidiane con cambio delle asciugamani. All'arrivo in camera si trova una piccola bottiglia di vino rosso di benvenuto, mezza bottiglietta d'acqua, ciabattine e prodotti da bagno. Ottima la piscina attrezzata con ombrelloni e lettini. Annesso anche un bar per spuntini veloci e ogni tipo di bevanda. Wifi ovunque, ma in camera si staccava frequentemente. Mezzi pubblici a poche decine di metri, tutto a portata di mano. Spiagge discrete, ma non eccezionali. Estrema cordialità dei proprietari.

Appartamento al piano rialzato composto di due camere da letto ciascuna con proprio bagnetto disimpegnate da un'ingresso e con un piccolo locale cucina fornito del necessario per poter preparare i pasti. Ogni camera ha anche il proprio balcone. La posizione dell'appartamento è un po sacrificata essendo all'interno e senza vista particolare. L'appartamento è un po' datato e impianti e serramenti avrebbero bisogno di manutenzione. La struttura comunque non è su strada e quindi è tranquilla ed è dotata di una piscina con bar. C'è anche il parcheggio anche se non proprio comodo visto che è su una salita ripida e molto stretta.

J'ai choisi cet établissement car il indiquait avoir la wifi. Or celle-ci ne fonctionnait qu'à 5%. Il fallait tomber sur les seules moments où elle fonctionnait, et encore très lentement, comme en bas débit. Elle était très importante pour moi car je devais rester en relation très fréquente tous les jours avec ma compagne, malade, en France. J'ai été obligé d'aller ailleurs dans Benitses pour pouvoir communiquer. Inadmissible aujourd'hui en Grèce où la wifi est partout. Mon séjour a été gaché.
