Conveniently situated in Agios Ioannis Peristeron, on the beautiful and bright island of Corfu, this stunning accommodation is the ideal place to stay when visiting this destination.

Corfu’s town centre is 16 kilometres away and Corfu International Airport is at around 15 kilometres away. All the air-conditioned rooms are fully equipped with modern amenities such as a satellite TV and boast great views to the sea, the hotel’s swimming pool or the mountain. The property offers several dining venues such as a restaurant, a lobby bar and a pool bar. Among other facilities, travellers may pamper themselves with a refreshing swim at the saltwater, outdoor swimming pool.

Awful
I am currently here at the moment and trust me if I was in a position financially I would have left and gone to a different hotel or got a flight home . The best thing this hotel has going for it is its views they are phenomenal! Shower is never warm never mind hot . The food is awful and I’m not a picky eater and stayed at other all inclusive resorts before so I know how it can be but this is just a different level . A couple checked in at 6pm and left at 8.00 pm . In the middle of nowhere so to eat out is an option but for two young girls is scary getting buses and taxis at night time .

DONT IGNORE THE REVIEWS!!!! please read :)
DO NOT IGNORE THE REVIEWS!!! You will want to go home, like we did!!! We are currently still here. Positives- The Views, Staff & The Beach The Views are absolutely stunning! It is extremely picturesque. The beach is beautiful. It is a pebble beach until your in the water which then it’s sand. The water is so so clear and has little fish swimming with you. Stunning!! Staff was friendly & looked after you. Some staff members agreed the hotel is not what it use to be. Negatives- Food& Drink, Room, Entertainment & Resort. The food unfortunately was horrendous. As you expect with an all inclusive package, same food most nights. That was fine. However the food prepared was not for the faint hearted. You had three stations with food, 1 station salad, 2nd station hot dogfood… sorry hot food and then 3rd desserts being apples, pineapple and 2 choices of sponge cake. The drinks were okayish, often the soft drinks machine was tasting funny as barrels needed changing & the alcoholic beverages were just your standard. Fresco, San Francisco, house wines, beers etc etc. The rooms are unfortunately extremely dated, old and smell. The smell comes from the drains in the bathrooms. The quilts are cover less so did feel strange to sleep with and only had three pillows for our king size bed. The balcony is the best place and that is purely for the views in the morning which does help motivate you into a good mood for heading downstairs for the disappointment of breakfast. Entertainment does not start until 9pm which is rather late, then goes on until 11pm. This entertainment @ the resort consists of just music being played and some dancers. Nothing different each night. There is NOTHING around the hotel for things to do, so you have to venture out each day unless you want to stay by the extremely small cramped pool area. The resort it’s self, looks beautiful from the outside, it looks like a top floor pool with stunning rooms and facilities but unfortunately the images provided are a gimmick.
Overall: If you’re looking for a base to stay and chips to eat then this is for you as unfortunately you will receive nothing else. If I advertised this hotel I’d state it’s an adult only resort as there is NOTHING for the children to do. The children that were here, were playing on the wooden luggage ramp for there entertainment. It is that bad, we saw 2 friends join the hotel on our 2nd day and by the evening they had cancelled there stay n moved over to the twin sister hotel.
Please please please, do not waste your time or money here. I know all places have bad reviews, I know not everyone will like and dislike the same things but from someone who booked this, thinking it would be fine, I wished I listened to the reviews.
If you do book, enjoy your stay as much as you can, if you don’t book because of my review, just know I had your best interests @ heart by letting you know. Thank you for reading this, happy holiday searching :)
⭐⭐ Definitely Not a 4-Star Hotel – 2 Stars at Best!
We recently stayed at Mitsis Belvedere, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Having been advertised as a 4-star hotel, we expected a much better standard. In reality, I would struggle to give this hotel more than 2 stars.
Rooms & Cleanliness
The rooms are desperately in need of refurbishment. Everything feels dated and tired, with mould in the bathroom and even on the bedroom ceiling. Not exactly what you expect from a supposedly 4-star hotel!
Our first impression wasn't great either. Within hours of arriving, we found ourselves spending a considerable amount of time killing mosquitoes in the room. Hardly the relaxing start to a holiday we had hoped for.
Noise & Lack of Sleep
The walls are unbelievably thin. You can hear practically everything happening in the neighbouring rooms, including, on several occasions, a couple next door clearly enjoying themselves rather enthusiastically! Good for them, but not something we particularly wanted to be listening to on our holiday!
To make matters worse, there was constant noise throughout the night, with people shouting in the corridors and doors being slammed. Getting a decent night's sleep was a challenge.
Food & Restaurants
The food was another major disappointment. It was consistently cold and incredibly repetitive, particularly at lunch and dinner.
The same dishes seemed to appear day after day: cheese pie, a pork dish, spaghetti bolognese and chips that were so heavily salted they were barely enjoyable.
For a hotel claiming to be 4-star, the quality, variety and temperature of the food were simply not good enough. Pool & Communal Areas
The swimming pool was absolutely freezing, making it far from inviting.
The main seating area was also in a poor state. The sofas were visibly worn, ripped and dirty, which really added to the overall impression of a hotel that has seen better days and is in desperate need of some investment.
Bar & Staff
There also seemed to be a constant shortage of glasses at the bar. We regularly had to wait while glasses were collected and washed before we could be served. Again, not something you would expect at a hotel of this supposed standard.
However, credit where it's due. The ladies working behind the bar were genuinely helpful and friendly, and the restaurant staff were attentive and hardworking. They were easily the highlight of our stay and deserve recognition for doing their best despite the hotel's shortcomings.
Overall Verdict
Unfortunately, the positives were few and far between.
Between the dated rooms, mould, terrible soundproofing, constant nighttime noise, cold and repetitive food, freezing pool and poorly maintained communal areas, this hotel falls a long way short of what I would expect from a 4-star property.
The staff deserve better facilities to work in, and paying guests certainly deserve better standards.
In my opinion, this is a 2-star experience at best, and I would not recommend it in its current condition.
A real disappointment, and certainly not somewhere we would choose to return to.
Peaceful and Perfect
Benitis Belvedere in Corfu. Very good holiday. Our favourite night was with DJ and entertainer Lorna. Brought mad energy and was lovable. More and more people came down from the balconies as the evening went on. I would come again just for her.

do not go
I don’t know where to start with this experience. We had unruly guests on our floor the entire week, causing endless issues - with staff being incompetent in how they resolved the issues. We complained multiple times, with staff acknowledging verbally that they had read our emails and refusing to answer them. Two members of staff on reception in particular were very rude, blatantly lying to us about the situation and refused to let us speak to a manager - whether this was duty manager or phone call/email the following day with management of some description - we legally should have been allowed to speak to someone, we were denied this. Management are now digging their feet and refusing to reply to emails. Cannot express how disappointed I am with the situation that occurred this week and the fact we repeatedly explained we felt unsafe and nobody bothered to check we were okay. I have so much that could be said, but this scratches the surface for now
