✅ Top 3 pros

Sweeping Views & Serenity

The elevated setting above Kommeno Bay ensures panoramic vistas, privacy, and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere – perfect for couples.

Outstanding Cleanliness

Rooms, pool and dining areas are maintained to an exceptional standard, with evident attention to detail in all cleaning and maintenance.

Excellent Breakfast & Dining

Fresh, plentiful breakfast options and two à la carte restaurants specialising in Corfiot-Mediterranean flavours represent culinary highlights.

❌ 3 cons to be aware of

No Classic Beach Directly at the Hotel

The bay is fantastic for swimming and boating, but guests looking for a broad sandy beach will need a short taxi or bus ride.

Steep Terrain and Walkways

The hillside layout creates notable level changes – while there’s a useful outdoor lift, it may pose challenges for those with reduced mobility.

Top-End Price Point

As a five-star boutique hotel, food and drink costs – and especially rooms with private pools – are priced at a premium compared to more basic alternatives.

Overview & Hotel Highlights

Set amphitheatrically on the hillside above Kommeno Bay in Corfu, Rodostamo Hotel & Spa seamlessly combines contemporary design with classic Greek hospitality. Boasting five stars, an adults-friendly environment and a refined, peaceful ambience, it offers elegantly appointed rooms, suites, bungalows with whirlpool tubs and villas with private, heated pools. Enjoy a spacious freshwater pool, an ELEMIS spa, three restaurants, and sweeping views toward Gouvia Marina – creating the perfect retreat for a unique Greek island escape. Ideal for couples looking to unwind, discerning guests, and anyone eager to explore Corfu in style.

Design & Ambience

Opened in 2017, this hotel artfully merges sleek, modern lines with natural materials in lush green settings. A cleverly designed outdoor incline lift connects the main building with the villas and bungalows further up the hillside – both practical and just a little bit fun. Shared spaces are uplifting and stylishly relaxed. Guest rooms are finished in calming creams and sandy tones, punctuated by colourful accents and up-to-date amenities. Most room categories feature terraces or balconies with comfortable outdoor seating; premium options boast private jacuzzis or pools.

Cleanliness & Maintenance

The hotel maintains an impressive level of cleanliness: rooms are spotless, glass and mirrors sparkle, and the pool and restaurants are impeccably presented. Housekeeping is discreet but thorough, with plentiful towels (including for the pool). Gardens and walkways are beautifully maintained – a key detail in this multi-level setting.

Value for Money

Rodostamo is positioned as an upmarket choice on Corfu. Upgrading to a sea view room, a bungalow with jacuzzi or a villa with private pool ensures additional comfort, solitude and space. The breakfast buffet is both generous and high quality, while à la carte dining is priced in line with five-star service. Perfect for couples who value boutique ambience, calm and attentive service more than direct beachfront access.

Pool & Proximity to the Sea

Outdoors, a large freshwater pool (around 500 m²) affords panoramic views over Kommeno Bay – wonderful for morning lengths or leisurely afternoons atop spacious sun loungers. The hotel’s seafront deck just below is ideal for sunbathing, swimming, or heading off on watersports and boating adventures. Popular sandy beaches like Dafnila, Dassia and Ipsos are all within easy reach by taxi, shuttle or bus.

Dining & Breakfast

Start your day at the “Yiasemi” buffet for a breakfast of fresh local favourites and Mediterranean classics. In the evening, Rodostamo Restaurant offers contemporary Greek and Corfiot flavours while Avalle Bistro reinvents local specialities. Vegetarian and vegan options are always available, with attentive, informed service.

Wellness & Activities

The ELEMIS spa provides a full range of treatments, including signature rituals and classic massages, sauna and hamam. The 120 m² covered outdoor gym has up-to-date equipment; staff gladly assist with arranging watersports, boat hire, golf and bespoke experiences on Corfu.

Who is this hotel for? Couples and friends (aged 12+) who appreciate great design, delicious breakfasts, superb cleanliness and easy access to both pool and sea. If you want a hotel where you can step directly onto sand from your room, another property may suit you better – but for stunning views, impeccable standards and a tranquil vibe, Rodostamo is an ideal choice.

Start your morning at the “Yiasemi” buffet, where a fresh, varied breakfast and local delicacies await. For dinner, the stylish Rodostamo Restaurant features modern Corfiot-Mediterranean cuisine with a bay-view backdrop, while Avalle Bistro provides a relaxed bistro setting with innovative dishes made from local produce. Vegetarian and vegan choices are always on offer.

Bars & Culinary Experiences

Whether at the pool bar or the lobby lounge, there’s the perfect spot: enjoy snacks and signature cocktails by the pool during the day, or sip an aperitif at sunset. Classic “all inclusive” is not offered here, but the quality of breakfast and à la carte dining more than compensates. Watch for occasional themed evenings and live music, depending on the season.

Pools, Spa & Wellness

Freshwater Pool with Bay Views

The outdoor pool (approx. 500 m²) is ideal for both laps and relaxed lounging on comfortable sunbeds. The hillside location delivers stunning views across Kommeno Bay; parasols and pool towels are always included. From the seafront deck, guests can take to the water or hire a boat – a brilliant spot for peaceful swimming in clear turquoise sea, away from busy beaches.

ELEMIS Spa & Outdoor Gym

The ELEMIS spa offers a full menu of treatments, massages, facials, sauna and hamam. The 120 m² sheltered outdoor gym is fully equipped and perfect for open-air workouts. The hotel also runs yoga sessions (seasonal), arranges golf at Corfu Golf Club, and organises bespoke activities across the island.

Service & Staff

Greek Hospitality

Expect warm, attentive service – from a welcoming reception team through to efficient breakfast staff and discreet, meticulous housekeeping. Whether arranging a transfer, recommending restaurants, chartering a boat or booking a round of golf, the staff act swiftly and are always ready to help with a smile.

Reception & Concierge (Languages)

Reception is staffed throughout the season; concierge services provide assistance with bookings and excursions. English and Greek are widely spoken, and in peak summer you’ll often find staff who also speak Swedish or German.

Sustainability & Responsibility

The hotel employs energy-efficient technology (LED lighting, eco-switches), partial solar energy, EV charging and focuses on locally sourced produce for its kitchens. With active recycling programmes, easy beach access and public transport links, sustainable holidays are simple for British visitors.

My tip as a travel analyst: Book a bungalow with a hot tub or indulge in an Executive Suite, start the morning with a swim in the large pool, and end the day looking out towards Gouvia Marina – the perfect way to soak up everything Rodostamo has to offer.
