ロカンダ バルバティ ラグジュアリー アパートホテル(Locanda Barbati Luxury ApartHotel)

Beautiful apartment on the mountain side with spectacular views, can’t rate highly enough, and all the staff especially Georgia and Nada are so friendly and welcoming, thank you

The perfect place to stay in Corfu. Locanda is one of those places you are so happy you found as it has everything you need for a great holiday. Amazing views, lovely rooms, a great pool to relax cool down and sun bath by. Excellent breakfast with tasty Greek food among the choices on offer. The icing on the cake is Georgia and her team who are the perfect hosts.

Already the booking via their website was very simple. Georgia organised a comfortable and reasonable transfer from and to the airport. On my arrival I experienced a very warm welcome. Georgia and her team succeded in offering a totally unconplicated but personal Service whenever needed. The property is spotless clean, the apartments are furnished contemporary with all comfort I desired. Last but not least: the views are fantastic and the surroundings very quiet - at least end of September. Enjoyed the week!

We were so excited to stay in Locana Luxury Apartments, however our holiday did not go as expected. Georgia was pleasant when we arrived and showed us to our room which was the studio apartment right next to the pool. The views were stunning and the apartment was clean. There is no privacy during the day from the balcony/patio area outside the door due to it being next to poolside and the public toilets are joined on to one side of the room, with the reception being joined on to the other side. We were extremely disappointed to find out that the pool and bar are NOT OF EXCLUSIVE USE to Locanda guests. This meant that people staying in nearby accommodation who did not have a pool were able to come and use ours. There were some lovely sun beds at the apartments but unfortunately we struggled to get one on a couple of occasions as it was very crowed. If the information about public use was listed on the providers website then we would not have chosen to stay here and pay £160 per night for a LUXURY stay. The description made it sound as though we were going to get a peaceful and relaxing holiday but this was not the case. We were told we were not able to consume our own food/drinks by the pool (even though it was all self catering with the exception of breakfast), however the food at the pool bar was below average and the drinks were more expensive than the bars in Barbati. We ended up leaving our holiday earlier due to safety concerns as numerous groups of men were following us either by foot or scooter on a night. There are no paths and the street lighting is lacking near the apartment so we just didn’t feel safe and left during the 3rd night. Overall we were just disappointed that we’d spent almost £1,200 for a 7 night stay in a luxury apartment that did not meet our expectations.

Georgia and her team made us feel Incredibly welcome. Nothing was too much trouble . The apartments are set in the most amazing location - mountain views one side and sea views on the other . It’s super quiet and relaxing. Our apartment was gorgeous. Clean and modern and had everything we needed. The pool was fantastic and the sun beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever laid on! Never any problem getting space around the pool and a lot of the time we had the pool to ourselves . Only a short walk to the beach, bars and restaurants . It is a very steep hill up to the apartments which could be a challenge for some - it was a good way to work off all the cocktails in the evening!! Georgia helped us organise trips and her knowledge of the local area and providers was really useful. Would highly recommend a stay here.

We had a blissful 3 nights at the Locanda following a stressful evening flight cancellation whilst we were actually at the airport. Georgia was our saviour when she accepted our 9.45pm booking and welcomed us in person to her gorgeous hotel an hour later and our stress melted away. The following morning we took in the amazing views whilst partaking of a lovely breakfast expertly prepared and served by Olga. The quality and choice was excellent and varied each day with some interesting and delicious dishes. The pool area and deeply cushioned sun beds were as luxurious as our room and we immediately settled in to our extended stay in Corfu whilst we awaited our rearranged flight home. Georgia delivers a truly personal touch as do the rest of her excellent team, we cannot recommend The Locanda more highly.

Nestled on the side of a steep hill is the Locanda aparthotel. This clean spacious modern property offers a great base to explore Corfu. The apartments are well designed and cleaned regularly and offer great sea and mountain views. The swimming pool and snack bar are well thought out and comfortable. The staff are happy to help. A walk to the beach is possible but all uphill on the way back, well worth the effort. Thanks Locanda

Great trip, we will be returning! My family of four stayed at this family-run, beautifully appointed apartment hotel in the peaceful and walkable little town of Barbati in Corfu. The owner Georgia and her staff are some of the most hospital people we have met on own travels. Olga is the fantastic cook and pool bar manager with a bright welcoming smile every morning of your stay. There is an attached super market at the base of the grounds for anything you may have forgotten or run out of or want from flip flops to toiletries to food goods including vacuum packed olives. Barbati is ideally situated for spending time with loved ones and exploring the island (if you like to party, the town of Ipsos may be better for you). We took our rental car (Holiday Car company) to neighboring towns/villages all between 10-40 minutes away (the town of Corfu is 40 minutes away). We explored the local beaches including Nisaki, the fishing town of Cassiope, the bay with yachts of Kalami (where James Bond’s For Your Eyes Only was filmed) and it’s famous White House of the Durrell family, and the Pantocrator monastery at an altitude of approximately 2,800 feet above sea level. A small car should be considered. The roads can be very narrow and Google maps is not always accurate. Remember that you will be on island time, as the expression goes. Relax and enjoy!

Cannot fault Locanda. Apartments were lovely, patio was private and comfortable. Pool area was laid back, music soft and low and really relaxing. Olga at the snack bar is a gem and all staff were very friendly. The location is stunning. There is a bit of a climb up the hill but that’s how you get the fantastic views. Thank you for a lovely stay.
