Matoula Apartments - Αχαράβη

Booked this over a year ago, we arrived only to find it had been closed for a long time, so we were stranded in Corfu, Expedia didn't tell us, and even messaged us the day after to ask if Matoula had looked after us, even though we'd informed them of our problems, we found them unhelpful, now chasing compensation,

It was my first time staying here my whole stay here was fantastic the staff were so friendly, our apartment was very clean through out. food was fantastic also the cocktails are very good too i would definitely recommend the sex on beach Have looked at booking again but sadly booked up for time i was looking at,

Stayed here last year, would highly recommend it. The apartment was clean and roomy. Great swimming pool and bar area, friendly and helpful staff. Nice to return to the bar on an evening. This really is in the best location for the five minutes walk into main village or equal time to the beach. We found and ate at some excellent beach and village restaurants. I'm particularly fussy about the standard of food in restaurants, I had no faults, whatsoever. The main supermarket is also at the end of road in the village. We are returning to Corfu this year for the third year running, I'd stay here any day over Spain. Recommend getting a car for a few days and exploring some of the beautiful beaches, following the coastline to the East. If you are feeling brave, the drive up Corfu's highest mountain. Try exploring Corfu Town, the Fort is an incredible piece of history and the historic town is truly picturesque and unspoilt.

Very clean,well appointed appartment. Helpful and friendly staff. Very close to great beach. V safe if you have children. Also close to Town and restaurants. Quite sure we will return.

Comfortable apartments. Very clean. Lovely pool area and bar serving reasonably priced meals. Staff are all polite. Good location for beach and town.

Well what can i say about this place but absolutely fantastic. All the staff from reception, cleaning and especially Andreas the bar manager were amazing making us all feel we had just come home. The apartment was immaculately clean and well presented. They have a nice size pool and sunbed which are free with a €1 charge for the day for a sunbed cushion cover. The pool bar offer a really good selection of beers, spirits, soft drinks, tea and coffee, Andreas and his chief offer both breakfast and dinner till 5pm. Turn left out of the main gate and its a short walk down to the beach were you have a handful of restaurants to choose which all serve amazing food, try the mezze its unbelievably filling and a proper taste of Greek foods and the sunsets here are well worth an evening meal to watch the sun go down. Alternatively turn right out of the main gate and again a short walk up to the main road passing olive wood souvenirs and a rather nice restaurant a little further up before hitting the main strip that boasts a really good selection of shops, restaurants, pharmacies, souvenir, clothing and supermarkets plenty to keep you occupied. We really enjoyed our time at the matoula appointments our only regret was we didn't book for 2 weeks instead of 1 week but have every intention to visit again soon.

The apartments are clean, albeit a little tired. The staff at the apartments were lovely, very polite and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The bar would have been very nice, apart from Andreas, who had inconsistent opening times and when he wanted to go out closed early, but made the customers feel uncomfortable by clearing up around them.

WARNING - DO NOT BOOK. The hotel has now closed down but the owner is still taking people’s deposits. We have stop here around 12-13 times over the years and everything has been fantastic, however the hotel has been closed since autumn 2019 after taking numerous people’s deposits and has refused refund them. We have received no replies to our emails or phone calls and are still owed 100s of pounds. We have spoken to a number of members of staff and locals who say that she has no intentions on reopening.
