The Grecotel Corfu Imperial Hotel Review .
Maisonette on the Rocs Waterfront
Our adventure began in the Maisonette on the Rocs Waterfront, a two-story sanctuary where modern luxury met the timeless allure of the sea. Imagine waking up to the sunrise over the Ionian Sea, with breakfast served on our private terrace. The spacious living area was perfect for cozy evenings, and we loved having direct access to the crystal-clear waters below.


Palazzo Odyssia Private Pool on the Rocs
Our second abode was the Palazzo Odyssia Private Pool on the Rocs, where we basked in the lap of luxury. The private infinity pool offered uninterrupted sea views, and we often found ourselves sipping cocktails and watching the sun dip below the horizon. One memorable morning, we were treated to a floating breakfast in our pool. As we savored fresh fruits, pastries, and coffee, the water gently cradled our tray, creating an ambiance of serene indulgence.


Palazzo Imperiale on Private Peninsula
For the third leg of our journey, we were whisked away to the Palazzo Imperiale on a private peninsula. This secluded retreat felt like a world of its own, surrounded by lush gardens and the sea. Mornings were spent strolling in our private garden, and evenings saw us enjoying candlelit dinners on our terrace. It was a romantic escape like no other.
Medusa Estate
Our final stop was the majestic Medusa Estate, a private sanctuary with its own stretch of beach. Days were spent lounging in our beachfront cabana, and evenings brought gourmet dining experiences under the stars. One unforgettable day, the sun bathed the beach in a warm glow as we were treated to a romantic Italian lunch right on the sands. The table was adorned with the finest Italian delicacies – pizza with perfectly crisp crust, creamy burrata cheese, a medley of fresh pasta, and a bottle of exquisite rose wine. The combination of flavors and the gentle sea breeze created an unforgettable, romantic ambiance that swept us off our feet. It was a culinary journey through Italy’s most delectable offerings, a love letter in every bite.
Service and Dining
Throughout our stay, the resort’s staff dazzled us with their warmth and attentiveness. From arranging surprise anniversary celebrations to sharing local insights, they made us feel like honored guests.
Speaking of dining, the resort’s culinary offerings were a highlight of our stay. We indulged in gourmet feasts at several of their restaurants, each one a culinary journey in itself:
Yali Seafood Restaurant
Perched just above the azure waters, the Yali Seafood Restaurant at the Corfu Imperial offered breathtaking panoramic views of the island. Dining here was like a dream come true as we delighted in the freshest catch of the day with our feet in the sand. The glimmering lights of the town in the horizon added a touch of magic to our evenings. The Yali, the ultimate in chic sea dining day or night.


Trattoria & Wine Bar
We couldn’t resist trying the most delicious pizza at the Trattoria & Wine Bar. This restaurant elevated casual Italian dining with its rustic yet refined ambiance. The wine bar invited us to explore a mix of wine, cheese, charcuterie, and more, both indoors and out. It was an elevated, but relaxed tasting experience. Grecotel Corfu Imperial Review


Merlin’s Bar Restaurant
At Merlin’s Bar Restaurant, we stumbled upon the BEST noodles we’ve ever tasted. It was a delightful surprise to find such exquisite flavors in Corfu. Situated on the hotel’s first floor with views of the Ionian Sea and Corfu’s old fortress, this restaurant delivered fantastic food, magical atmosphere, and superlative service. Fusion food dazzled our palates with innovative dishes blending traditional Chinese cuisine with a Latin American or a Mexican twist. It was an irresistible culinary experience.



Ancient Greek Massage at the Spa
Amidst all the indulgence, we also enjoyed a holistic spa experience: the Ancient Greek Massage. This therapy was nothing short of amazing. It’s based on the practices of Asclepius of Ancient Greece and inspired by the methods of Hippocrates. The treatment left us feeling rejuvenated and connected to the ancient wellness traditions of Greece. Grecotel Corfu Imperial Review

For those seeking an active getaway, the resort offered a well-equipped fitness center that kept us on track with our exercise routine.

Scenic Beauty
Corfu’s natural beauty enveloped us at every turn. The resort’s manicured gardens were a joy to wander, and the private beaches were a slice of paradise. As the sun dipped below the horizon each evening, we were treated to a mesmerizing display of colors over the Ionian Sea.
Sunset Cruise to Corfu Old Town
Our stay at Grecotel Corfu Imperial was filled with unforgettable moments, and one of the most enchanting was our sunset cruise to Corfu Old Town. As the sun began its descent into the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the Ionian Sea, we embarked on a leisurely journey from the hotel to the historic Corfu Old Town and back. The cruise not only treated us to epic views of the coastline but also provided a serene and romantic setting. We clinked glasses filled with rose wine, savoring every sip as we watched the sky paint itself with vibrant hues. The shimmering lights of Corfu Old Town welcomed us on our return, creating a magical atmosphere that perfectly encapsulated the charm of this beautiful island.
