4* DIVANI PALACE, NEAR CORFU TOWN

The Divani Corfu Palace is a modern 4 star, luxury hotel in Corfu, situated on the green wooded hillside of Kanoni, overlooking the pristine waters of the lagoon. Only 3 km from Corfu town center and 1km from the gardens and beach of Mon Repos, our luxury hotel in Kerkyra provides the perfect location for those who wish to be near Corfu town's activities and famous historical centre, but crave the beauty and seclusion of the surrounding hills.

Dressed with fine furnishings and upscale fixtures, the brand-new and fully refurbished Superior Rooms epitomize luxury and comfort. These rooms offer cozy sitting areas, in warm neutrals, that make you feel right at home. Rooms are Superior Double or Twin, with balcony. If you would like at upgrade to a PoolView Room, it is £100 per room for the three days.

5* SANTA QUARANTA RESORT,

SARANDE, ALBANIA

Santa Quaranta Resort is one of the best hotels in Sarande, approx 2km from the frantic town centre, sitting in its own grounds with private beach and beach club. Locally rated as a five-star hotel, we would rate it fairly as a good four-star resort....but we would do the same for every five-star property we have visited in Sarande. Albania has a bit of catching up to do with the rest of Europe, but this hotel feels like it is getting there.

Every room has a sea-view, with accommodation built into the quite steep rocky landscape. No other hotel in Sarande boasts the amazing pool and lido area, with an extensive beach and safe swimming area. The pool bar serves excellent, well-priced drinks and the deck restaurant, good inexpensive food. You could spend the whole day in your swimsuit!

Close to the hotel are numerous cafes and restaurants, a number of which we will be visiting.

Just one or two words of warning: The hotel has a drive from the road, approximate;y 200m, down a fairly steep incline. Only rooms in the main building are served by elevators but wide, easy steps give access to the lower rooms and pool / lido. When necessary, we can use local taxis and most of our excursions will leave directly from the hotel door.
