Cavalieri Hotel

Cavalieri Hotel occupies a 17th-century mansion at 4 Capodistriou Street, in the heart of Corfu Town on the island of Corfu in Greece's Ionian Islands. The address looks across to the Spianada Esplanade, the large open square that separates the Old Town from the Venetian fortifications, so the main sights are reachable on foot. The Liston arcade with its cafes, the Palace of St Michael and St George with the Museum of Asian Art, and the maze of kantounia lanes around the Old Town are all within a few minutes' walk. The port is roughly a ten-minute walk, and Corfu International Airport lies about three kilometres from the centre, a short taxi ride. The building reflects the Venetian and later British layers of the town, with high ceilings, period details and a roof level that gives views over the Spianada and the Old Fortress. The hotel is rated four stars and sits in the mid-range bracket, with indicative May-October rates of about €110-240 per night. Room types listed are Double Rooms, Superior Rooms, Family Rooms and Suites, with air conditioning and wifi as standard. Breakfast is served on site and a restaurant and bar are listed among the facilities, which suits visitors who want a base without leaving the Old Town for the first and last meal of the day. A pool is also listed in the amenities, a welcome extra in the hot Corfu summer after a day of sightseeing on stone streets. The service character is that of a traditional, mid-sized town hotel: central, practical and well suited to couples, culture-minded travellers and families using the Old Town as a base for day trips to the beaches of the west coast, the Achilleion Palace or the northern villages. Because the location is in a largely pedestrianised historic district, vehicle access is limited and luggage is usually handled from the nearest drop-off point. Visitors should expect some evening noise from the Spianada and the surrounding bars in high season, particularly during festival periods such as Easter, when Corfu's processions and brass-band traditions fill the centre.
