San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

We have been to San Stefanos eleven times and stayed at different hotels.  We had never stayed or eaten at the Barras until last year when we went for a week in July before staying at the Terezas for two weeks with family.  We also stayed this year at the Barras in May and have just returned two days ago from two weeks at the Terezas.  The food in the Barras we found to be excellent.  Went last week with friends and my husband had the Stamna and really enjoyed it with the chips and rice and even preferred it to the one he had in Yanis  Another evening we all had the Sea Bass which was perfectly cooked and in fact the best we had this holiday. George asked if we wanted it filleted or not and we said no just take the heads off which he did.  We then got strawberry Panacotta on the house for desert.  The rooms are really nice too very spacious and cleaned thoroughly with fresh towels.  George and his family make you very welcome and I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks Silverstar - you too have a good time when you go to San Stefanos

Great supermarket with really friendly service have used them since they were open.  Nothing too much trouble and they deliver to your hotel no matter how small your order is.

Hi we are coming to San Stefanos tomorrow and just wondered does anyone know if you can buy soya milk in the local supermarkets or do we have to bring our own.  Thanks a lot.

Can anyone tell me which are the best studio rooms to stay in at the Barras preferably on top floor?

This is a difficult one because if parents were allowed to take children out of school during  term time what would happen if teachers were allowed to do the same thing – the parents would not be happy..so there has to be a rule for both
.
My daughter is a teacher (special needs) in a primary school full time.  My two nieces are teachers one is a science teacher at high school and the other a primary school teacher.  They are not allowed to take time off as and when they want to.  They have to take time during school holidays just like the children do. My niece had to miss her brother in laws wedding which was in Mexico because it was during term time and my daughter also had to miss another very special occasion due to it being in term time as both were refused the time off. They even had to fit their weddings into school holidays which cost a fortune.

Last year we took our grandchildren on holiday and it cost us twice the price as we had to go in school holidays. This problem wouldn’t be so great if the airlines, hotels, theme parks etc didn’t increase their prices during school holidays

We prefer if possible to book independently and have done on many occasions but this year we have booked with Thomsons for two weeks holiday bed and breakfast in San Stefanos at the hotel we wanted at the end of August and the total cost was £884 from Manchester.  This includes 20kgs baggage each and transfers.

We booked this two weeks ago but the price has already gone up by £250 and will probably continue to rise.  I think when booking with Thomsons/TC it is just the luck of the draw if you can book at the right time as they seem to change their prices every week so I think the secret is to just keep checking the website daily and when you see a good price book it.

If I could have got the same deal booking independently I would have definitely chose this route.

We have also been to the Dionysos for lunch.  We walked one day up to Arillas and then up the hills to Afionas.  The Dionysos is fantastic then after we had our meal we walked down to Porto the twin beaches of Afionas which are back to back with crystal clear waters.  It is quite a rocky stroll down.  We were told it would take 10-15 minutes but that was Greek time it actually took us 25/30 minutes but well worth it. We then walked back to SS - Fantastic day.
