Wow, just had an impeccable stay at Nido! A wonderful hotel made even better by the staff.
Check in was smooth and whisked up to the private villa on the mountain side! A beautiful spacious room which had a great bath and a hot tub and felt very spacious. A really comfortable bed with aircon and a fan if needed.
It was the beginning of the season so not very busy but breakfast was spectacular with a view of the sea. Made to order pancakes. The pool was great and the Irish guy behind the pool bar was very friendly - all the staff were great.
I can’t wait to return!

A hotel on an extraordinary level – literally and figuratively. It is located on a hillside, cascading down with a beautiful view of the Ionian Sea. All apartments are located in low bungalows and the view is unobstructed. The rooms are very comfortable and well-equipped, although the TV could have some streaming options for the evening. This location requires a lot of walking, which is generally healthy, but may be uncomfortable for some. Fortunately, if necessary, you can take advantage of the courtesy of the staff and their electric vehicles. Speaking of the staff, they are also exceptional: very nice and friendly, but not intrusive. The valet picks up your car, check-in takes place over drinks, and you feel pampered from start to finish. Breakfasts are rich and varied, also with a beautiful view. In addition, there are two forms of dinner - buffet and a la carte. On the downside, although the hotel is surrounded by greenery, you can unfortunately hear the noise from the nearby street. A busy road separates the hotel from the beach, which is quite narrow and, due to its proximity to the road, very noisy. All in all, it is a unique place and highly recommended.

Stayed here for two nights in early September. The hotel is pretty and well maintained, with a lovely pool area. I felt the rooms were just average for the price. Staff are super nice. I was really glad we got the meal plan (half-board) as there are not many options nearby for dining. The food and service in the hotel restaurant was very good. If I go back to Corfu, would I stay here again? No. I think there are probably better options on the island in terms of location and value for the money.

I've been traveling for 30 plus years, on numerous business trips around the world. I've stayed in a LOT of high end hotels. This is the best!
Any business starts with the people working there. 100% of the staff were very friendly, happy, helpful. No one missed a beat. The manager was always present, breakfast, throughout the day, dinner. I often saw her spot checking rooms. I was very very impressed. Her hard work and efforts were clear throughout the hotel and reflected in the efforts of all her staff. We stayed 8 nights and she was there every day.
The property is stunning. Great views and extensive plantings everywhere. It's true that the property is on a steep hill. But there is always a staff member available to give you a ride in a golf cart. We walked everywhere just to experience the property and work off the buffet 😅
Check in was awesome! Upon arrival the hostess seats you in the lobby with a cold towel, your served welcome drinks, and then they complete the check in process at your seat while you enjoy your drink. Wonderful!
We booked half-board which includes breakfast buffet and dinner buffet. Overall quality of the food was excellent, and wide selection. To be fair it's a buffet not a 5 star tasting menu. But we were very happy. Also there is an alacart menu at the pool for lunch. We sampled 3 dishes here, all good. There are also several other alacart restaurants available (1 at Nido, and 3 at the sister resort next door). We never tried them as we were happy with the buffet.
Our room was spotless on arrival and everyday the housekeeping staff did a great job. The room and view were stunning. Bed super comfortable. Expresso maker in the room and we were supplied each day with pods and water. Room was quiet. A big part of that could be due to the fact that the hotel is adults only.
There are a variety of different room types at all levels of the hotel. Ours was at the top of the hill and had an incredible view. Other rooms lower on the hill might have less of a view. But ours was great.
The photos of the pool area speak for themselves. Awesome. Never crowded.
Beach was ok, but rocky (small pebbles). On this part of the island most beaches are along the road. Loungers were clean, towels provided, water super clean. Never a problem getting a lounger. We took some day trips to other beaches and didn't spend much time at this one. You also have beach privileges at sister resort (2 minute walk).
Finally I would say the Nido team went the extra mile for us. We were celebrating a 60th birthday and anniversary. The recognized both events ( on different nights) with champagne and cake. Very thoughtful.
We definitely plan to visit again in the future.

We are seasoned travelers who have stayed in all kinds of hotel categories across Greece and its islands. Nido offers spacious, comfortable rooms that are well maintained, though you can tell the property has a few years behind it.
Service is exceptional — among the best we have ever experienced. Staff at the restaurant remember you by name, turn down service is flawless, and check-in and daily interactions are warm and attentive.
Food is nicely presented and good overall, with desserts being excellent, but flavors could be more memorable.
The biggest let down is the location. The hotel sits on a steep hill, making it tiring to walk around, and you often have to wait for golf cart transfers. To reach the beach, you must cross a busy road. The beach is very small, rocky, public, and noisy from the traffic, with some loungers even used by non-guests. Power lines obstruct the view, and the pool area is in an odd corner.
These location issues are things the hotel can’t really change, but they affect the overall experience. For the price, the value just isn’t there, and we left without the relaxation we expected. While it’s likely one of the nicest hotels on Corfu, we would not return.
