The Olivar Suites, Messonghi

Set in a former 18th-century olive mill in the blissful resort of Messonghi, The Olivar Suites is a place of complete comfort and tranquillity. Ideally located approximately 13 miles outside of Corfu Town, this is a great base from which to explore the capital's UNESCO-protected old town, or experience the cities popular tavernas, whilst still having an idyllic and secluded spot to return to. The A la carte restaurant, Flya, serves up delicious international and Greek cuisine, and is even known to host themed dining events with guest chefs and mixologists. The resort also boasts direct access to a beautiful sandy beach, a freshwater pool, gorgeous spa and two stylish bars.

Plenty of olive trees are still dotted around the grounds, some retaining their ancient spot despite 120 elegant suites which have been built around them. The suites are situated in attractive, modernist-style bungalows, many of which enjoy their own private pool and stunning sea or garden views. The rooms are spacious and contemporary, with calm, neutral tones, chic wooden furnishings, stone tiled floors and plenty of natural light to enjoy.
