Bella Vista Beach Hotel

Bella Vista Beach Hotel is a three-star beachside hotel in Benitses, a seaside village on the east coast of the island of Corfu in Greece, roughly ten to twelve kilometres south of Corfu Town. Benitses began as a fishing village and developed into one of the island's long-established resorts, with a seafront promenade, tavernas, bars and small shops along the waterfront, and a hillside behind it covered in olive trees and villas. The hotel's position by the shore means the beach, the harbour and most evening dining options are within a short walk. The Corfu Town bus service runs along the coast road, and taxis reach the Old Town in around 20 minutes, while Corfu International Airport is about a 20-minute drive. The Benitses area also has the remains of a Roman bathhouse and a small shell museum, which suit visitors who want a quiet cultural stop. The hotel falls in the mid-range category with indicative May-October rates of roughly €80-160 per night. Accommodation is described as including studios, which suit families and longer stays because they typically provide space for light self-catering, and the listed amenities include air conditioning, wifi, a restaurant, a bar and a pool. The character is informal and seaside-oriented: a place to swim, eat by the water and use as a base for excursions rather than a resort with extensive facilities. Day trips from Benitses are straightforward, including the Achilleion Palace in nearby Gastouri, the Kanoni peninsula, Corfu Town's fortresses, and boat trips from the harbour to Paxos and Antipaxos. The beach at Benitses is mainly pebble, so water shoes are useful for comfortable entry, and sunbeds are generally available for hire. Evenings are lively in peak season, with live music from seafront bars, so light sleepers may prefer rooms set back from the promenade.
