San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Oh right! I paid a 40% deposit for the Fedra Mare booking for next June, but the overall price is such good value it was worth it.

Just seems a shame that Thomson's appear to be using their financial muscle in San Stef; how long before other hotel/apartment owners are 'bought'?!

Sunshine - this appears to be part of a trend with Thomson and San Stef. They are becoming very 'dominant' in San Stef and are obviously 'controlling' the prices. On another thread i've just given the info that The Little Prince is handing over ALL bookings to Thomson from 2010, previously they were with Thomson + some private bookings.

It wouldn't surprise me if the normal 'discount' periods/offers of late October, early Jan that Thomson usually offer do not appear this time around.

Chris - not stayed at the Fedra before - hope it's OK. I don't know Don, other than thru' here. I do buy a round....honest!!

Zimmer - 11 days because Ejet from BTL gives us the option of a Monday to Friday stay...and yes you're correct...another 11 days later...in September, in another one of your favourite places.....Carvoeiro on The Algarve! That's our regular haunt of the last 8 years.

Jules - i'm afraid Portland priced us out of a return visit to Terezas! It's far too expensive now and as much as we loved it this year in June it's not worth £1100 for 2 weeks for the two of us!

Just saw the weather on Sky news and i'm afraid it ain't good news if you're in Corfu for the next few days.

I'm a weather geek and there's a low pressure system that will be stuck over Italy and Greece for next few days, producing heavy, thundery rain.

Mid-End Sept not a good time to visit Corfu unfortunately; can be a very thundery,rainy time of year!

Thanks for info. I'll try san stef travel.

Is Fedra Mare OK? What do you think about taxi from and to airport for 50 euros e/w; is that normal price?

Links for Sunset studios doesn't work, i'm afraid.

Bristle Boy............... Have a look at Tui/Thomson/Portland as accommodation only we've done this for the last 3 years and saved a fortune!! Worked out cheaper than independent booking!

Just tried this on Thomson.co.uk and for an 11 night stay in June 2010 it came up with one hotel in San Stef! The Romanza at £429, so not bad but i would like a little more choice!

I'll search this site and internet. I'm thinking of Fedre Mare, Little Prince or there was one place we saw in June opposite Paradise taverna that looked OK. Anyone recommend anywhere?

Been price watching for the last 2 months for 2010 visit to San Stef thru' Portland.

We stayed at Terezas in June this year and were planning to return for 2nd half of June 2010. But i guess it must be almost fully booked now for next June.  Why?
Well, looked tonite and now up to staggering £550 - £600 for 14 nights for June dates.

Knowing what Leo and Fannis get paid by Tui for each booking/night, it's v.little, TUI must be absolutely coining it in from Tereza's for June next year!

If we're going to re-visit next June looks like we'll have to do easyjet from BTL, and private booking at alternative accomodation in San Stef. Where's best guys? Flights at mo will cost £300 for the two of us. Looking to spend about another £400-£500 for 14 nights accomodation. Don't want to be too far out from centre of village.
Any advice appreciated.
