✅ Top 3 pros

Peaceful, Green Environment Near the Old Town

Kanoni offers nature, lagoon views, and yet you’re only a few minutes from Corfu’s historic heart—ideal for those seeking both culture and tranquillity.

Newly Renovated Rooms & Exceptional Cleanliness

Modern design, well-planned interiors, and visibly thorough cleaning create a lovely atmosphere.

Quality Dining & Well-Kept Pool Area

From generous breakfasts through poolside snacks to sunset cocktails with a view: food quality and atmosphere are consistently high, and the outdoor pool never disappoints.

❌ 3 cons to be aware of

Not Right on the Beach

The hotel is located above the lagoon. The nearest beach (Mon Repos) is about 1.5 km away and the distance might feel a bit long for some guests.

Occasional Aircraft Noise

The proximity to the airport is convenient, but depending on weather and time of day, you may hear planes from time to time.

Limited Parking During Peak Season

Parking is free but can get busy at peak times and evenings. Arrive early or consider alternative transport options.

Overview & Highlights

Divani Corfu Palace offers a serene location atop the lush Kanoni hill with speedy access to Corfu Town’s UNESCO-listed Old Town. The views take in the lagoon, pine groves, and sun-soaked pool terraces—setting the mood perfectly for couples, families, and business travellers alike. By summer 2025 the entire hotel will be fully refurbished: modern rooms, a generous outdoor pool, upgraded restaurants, and a better-equipped gym. Greek hospitality is at the heart of the experience—with spotless cleaning and well-prepared food—all at price that feels right for Corfu.

Atmosphere, Style & Cleanliness

The most recent full renovation has given Divani Corfu Palace a smart, contemporary feel. A neutral palette, clean lines, and high-quality materials run throughout, from the airy lobby to the guest rooms. You’ll notice little details in the public areas—neat flower beds, orderliness, and a pool environment with no shortage of loungers. Rooms score bonus points for their comfy textiles, modern bathrooms, and furnished balconies. Impeccable cleanliness is obvious—no dust bunnies here! Surfaces, fabrics, and glassware all shine. The overall impression is of a well-maintained resort hotel… but with a warm, relaxed attitude.

Value for Money

Just a short drive from the Old Town and the airport, this hotel offers a welcoming blend of holiday relaxation and city vibes. Expect fresh rooms, a decent gym, and several good dining options. Complimentary Wi-Fi and parking are naturally appreciated. If a beachfront location is important to you, Mon Repos Beach is close by, while Corfu Town’s cultural sights are just a 10-minute drive away. Overall, you get great value for money—especially outside the peak high season.

Pool, Lagoon & That (Almost) Seaside Feeling

The heart of the hotel is its large outdoor pool, surrounded by wooden decks and greenery. From upper floors, the view extends over the pool, gardens, and the lagoon—giving you real island vibes without being directly on the beach. The pool bar serves snacks and drinks throughout the day, with service at a perfectly relaxed, holiday pace. Families love the easy overview, while couples have plenty of space for privacy.

Cuisine – From Breakfast Till Sunset Cocktails

The kitchen is inspired by Greek and Mediterranean traditions, with an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients. Breakfast at Amvrosia is a generous buffet; dinner is à la carte with Ionian flavours. During the day, Blue Pool Restaurant serves lighter dishes poolside, while at sunset Rafaello Bar tempts guests with drinks and nibbles overlooking the lagoon. Food and drink quality is consistently high, with authentic Greek and international options to suit every taste.

Rooms: Modern, Well-Designed, Great Views

The rooms range from Essential and Superior (choose from garden or pool view) to brand new Executive rooms at the top. Two suite categories are also available. All rooms feature a clean, modern style, smart details, and a furnished balcony. The higher up you are, the more impressive the views—over the pool, gardens, and lagoon—which photographers and romantics will love. Soundproofing and AC are excellent, with sockets and lighting right where you need them.

Wellness & Fitness

A fully modernised gym with Technogym equipment keeps your holiday workout as smooth as at home (08:00–22:30). Relaxing spa treatments are on offer in garden gazebos—an ideal break between city strolls and pool lounging. There’s also a shaded playground for children.

Summary: Divani Corfu Palace is the ideal choice if you want to combine Corfu’s city buzz with resort comforts—perfect for couples, culture lovers, pleasure-seekers, and families who appreciate cleanliness, friendly service, and a beautifully kept pool area.

The Divani Collection is committed to sustainability (ESG), for example through energy-saving technology and digital key cards. A lovely touch: as a pet-friendly hotel (dogs up to 10 kg), 50% of pet fees are donated to animal welfare organisations on Corfu.

My analysis as a travel expert: Divani Corfu Palace strikes the perfect balance between city proximity and relaxation. The design and layout are modern and tidy, and the service is on point.
