Mirabello Apartments

I have been going there for last 9 years. Bad points, none. The

Mirabello Apartments are a very good place to stay with very nice people.

We were here in September 2008. The location on a steep hill is not pleasant, especially in hot days when the climbing up is very exhausting. The distance to the sea is about 500m (8 minutes) and it is necessary to cross one busy road.The rooms are, well, very simple. There are three buildings of different quality. The orange building is the newest one and its photos are used for advertisement. The other two buildings are white, older, and there are can be found some surprises like nearby noisy pool filtration or some sort of bubbling draining ditch in the floor of the room (this can make you crazy in a few days). So look out where you are accommodated. In our opinion it is a low-end hotel/cluster of apartments, even for Greek circumstances (we have stayed in several apartments on Greek islands). The only cool thing is a relative large swimming pool with free sunbeds.

Having read other reviews of these apartments, we weren't sure what we would find when we got there. What we found were basic but very clean apartments (with air conditioning units available for hire), friendly and helpful staff, a lovely pool with fantastic views and lovely food and drinks.

We spent a great week there and can highly recommend the apartments to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday.

We stayed at the Mirabello Apartments in Dassia in May 2006. The accommodation is very basic at best. If you are used to the sophistication of Spanish resorts, then this comes as quite a culture shock. There are a lot of cats resident here that are fed by the owners and do not present any major issues. The location up a steep hill does wonders for your personal fitness, but once in the town there are numerous bars and restaurants to keep you occupied. The beach is shingle but clean, and the sea is crystal clear. If you choose to walk into the neighbouring resort of Ipsos, it's only a 20 minute pleasant walk and it does not really justify a taxi ride. Buses are on the half hour into Corfu town, at the cost of 1 euro each way.

There is excellent Greek food at the Bamboo restaurant, and the bar Alex is run by a Welsh ex-pat and her husband. Again, great food and company.

Mirabello Apartments is a well run place. The owners and their family are very helpful.

I do recommend hiring a fan as there was no air conditioning in rooms. It does get very hot.

The apartments are a short walk to all bars/taverns, shops and beach.

I am going back there again this year.
