Grecotel Corfu Imperial

Corfu


One of the most lavish hotels in Greece, this place occupies a regal waterfront position at the western tip of the curving peninsula that defines Kommeno Bay. Ultraluxurious rooms are set in pastel-toned sea-view villas, plus there are three fine-dining restaurants and a spa. Normally there's a two-night minimum stay in summer; rates drop considerably in low season.
