Rivendell Apartments

We have recently returned from the most fantastic holiday ever in the Rivendell Apartments in Corfu. The complex is small and intimate with 13 well equipped and spotless apartments all with a balcony. Our apartment overlooked a lovely pool which was never too busy to relax by and have an enjoyable swim. The location is perfect, set in a beautiful mountainous area of Corfu but only approximately 15km from Corfu Town and 16km from the airport. While a number of guests had cars for exploring, we chose not to as there is a bus stop only 100m from the complex and buses providing direct links to Corfu Town, the airport and in the other direction the town and beaches of Sidari. What really made the holiday special were the owners and hosts Nick and Aglaia. Nick is clearly the most handsome and charming man in Corfu if not the whole of Greece!! Aglaia is a beautiful lady and an absolutely wonderful 5 star cook. Aglaia runs the onsite restaurant (which has received 5 google stars) and people come from far and wide to taste her food. She cooks traditional Greek dishes including meatballs, moussaka and a true speciality pastichio. My husband thought he had died and gone to heaven and compared her to Gordon Ramsey. I am not only a vegetarian but also a very fussy eater and Aglaia catered wonderfully to my requirements. I have never eaten so well in my life. For a light meal she also does a light and crispy pizza and a Greek salad to die for. A substantial breakfast is available, made with the freshest of ingredients and includes cold meats, bread, omelette, yoghurt and fresh fruits all served with her wonderful Greek coffee. You will not need to eat again until dinner time. The restaurant is extremely competitively priced for the quality of the food and cooking. We are quite simply in love with the Rivendell and especially Nick and Aglaia (not to forget their 2 lovely dogs). They cannot do enough for people. They are so hard working, so good humoured and so funny. Nick kept everyone entertained on a number of occasions playing the bouzouki and singing during dinner honouring everyone with his presence and loveliness! We so needed a relaxing holiday which we certainly had and we have also made friends for life. There is no doubt that we will be returning to the Rivendell as soon as we possibly can. We were lost and you found us, love you guys.

The place is very centrally located, so that you basicaly can easily reach every spot of the island by the car. There is free parking included. Moreover, you can enjoy swimming in the beautiful pool, surrounded with a nature. If you feel hungry, there is a food offered in the accomodation. Enjoy your stay :)

An unforgettable experience, apartments are very well, clean and spacious. It has a pool and highlight the restaurant-pizzeria with home food and good prices. Also they have a large free parking. Every day they clean the rooms and the deal with the owners is very good, they are very kind people. It's very advisable because you feel at home.

Booked Rivendell Apartments last minute! What a great choice!!! View to die for and owners Nick and Aglaia are absolutely fantastic and go above and beyond! If you want a relaxing and peaceful trip away on a budget go no further. A car is advisable so book early to avoid high prices. Apartments cater for all your needs which were cleaned every day by Maria who went out of her way to cater for any request. Pool also fantastic with no issues fighting for sun beds 😂😂. Restaurant on site with food at extremely reasonable prices! I recommend the homemade house Pizza although if into Greek food which my wife was, this is an award winning restaurant with people coming for the food alone. Yes in reflection to reviews, some touch ups needed to be done but at end of season what do you expect?? Booking for next year when I get home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is not a place to spend your vacation, it must be avoided! All the furniture and linen are from the 19 century, the doors to the shower cabin are broken, no cleaning is done, we woke up with a room full of water pumped up from the sewer and a terrible smell (which my husband cleaned up because the owner was busy doing nothing), the towels are not changed (which anyway have a problematic color), on the last day no I had water in the shower! A nightmare ! The money paid is not justified! And they also ask you 6 euros/day for AC!! We couldn't wait to leave!

Amazing stay at Rivendell! Niki and his wife are super lovely and accommodating! Lovely food and beautiful pool. There is parking and the studio size was quite big, and cleaners come every day apart from Thursday. I absolutely recommended to stay at Rivendell if you want to visit Corfu!
