The Cavalieri is a long-standing old town hotel that puts you in the middle of Corfu's historic centre, beside the Spianada and a few steps from the Liston, the lanes and the Old Fortress. The hotel lists fifty rooms, all with air conditioning, free wifi and a safe, as well as a refrigerator, a flat-screen television and a bathroom with a tub or shower. A free breakfast buffet is included, and the hotel has a bar and restaurant plus a terrace. The location is the main reason to book it: you can step out of the door to the old town squares, coffee on the Liston and the harbour walks, without a taxi. For travellers who want to walk everywhere, it is among the most practical mid-range choices.
Location and getting around
The hotel stands in the old town near the Spianada, so the Liston, the Old Fortress, St Spyridon and the museums are all within a ten-minute walk. The port for ferries is also within reach, and taxis wait near the Spianada. There is no need for a car in the town, and driving in the narrow streets is best avoided. The airport is a short taxi ride away, around ten minutes with no traffic.
The rooms
The property lists fifty rooms with air conditioning, free wifi, a safe, a refrigerator and a 32-inch flat-screen television. Bathrooms have a tub or shower and free toiletries, and housekeeping is daily. Rooms facing the street can pick up noise from the old town, so ask for a quieter room if you are a light sleeper.
Who it suits
First-time visitors, couples and anyone who wants the old town on the doorstep. Families can use it too, as children are welcome, although pets are not allowed.
Good to know
Check-in begins at 2:00 pm and check-out is before 11:00 am. The hotel lists seasonal arrangements for its dining venues, so ask in advance if you plan to eat at the hotel in winter. Breakfast is free, which is a useful saving.
