Picolo recommends · Hotel in Kontokali, Corfu
Kontokali Bay Resort & Spa
A green little peninsula just north of Corfu Town, with a beach on more than one side and bungalows set among the trees.
Shaded paths wind between the buildings, and most of them end at the water. The rooms and bungalows are spread out across the gardens, so the resort feels calmer and greener than its size might suggest.
Gouvia marina is next door, with restaurants along the quay and boats heading out along the coast. Corfu Town is a short drive south, close enough for an evening in the old town without making the whole holiday revolve around it.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Kontokali Bay Resort & Spa
We like it for the setting. Few resorts this close to town give you a choice of beaches, plenty of shade and room to spread out, which makes it an easy pick for families who still want the old town within reach.
The look is classic rather than contemporary. If crisp, modern design matters to you, this will not be your style, and one of the newer resorts on the island will feel fresher.
