Saint Antonio Corfu Resort leaves a strong impression of a luxurious, refined, “old money” escape. Family-run and beautifully situated in the hills above Kalami Bay, the hotel has high ambitions — and it shows. The new owners have clearly invested a lot into renovation and development, and the resort continues to evolve with great potential. The landscape design is lovely, filled with Mediterranean greenery and layers of stone pathways. While the hotel is built on several levels with many stairs, multiple elevators make getting around easier. We stayed in a Junior Suite that was tastefully decorated and offered a breathtaking postcard view over the bay. Housekeeping was excellent throughout our stay. It’s worth noting for future guests that only the suites offer a full sea view from inside the room — not just from the balcony. The resort features two pool areas. One is located high up, offering an absolutely stunning panoramic view of the bay. However, this upper pool area would benefit from more thoughtful design — perhaps some additional plants and decor to match the luxurious atmosphere the hotel is aiming for. The second pool, near the main restaurant and directly across from the reception, is more modern and beautifully decorated with hanging flowers and greenery along the surrounding walls. It’s a true oasis for relaxation. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, with many good options to choose from. Still, small details matter — the use of single-use paper sachets for salt, pepper, sugar, and tea doesn’t really match the level of sophistication the hotel is striving for. One simple but elegant upgrade that would elevate the breakfast even more would be the inclusion of freshly pressed juice — a touch that’s expected at a hotel of this caliber. Callao on the coast beach restaurant is a true gem: stylishly decorated, atmospheric, and serving beautifully balanced dishes with fantastic flavor combinations. On a good night, it’s easily a five-star experience. Unfortunately, the service is inconsistent. One evening we were warmly welcomed and taken care of with excellence — the next night we were almost entirely overlooked, needing to wave repeatedly for menus, orders, or the check. Staff seemed stressed and disengaged, with one kind and smiling young woman doing her best to rescue the situation. It’s not entirely surprising, though — from what we heard, many staff members work seven days a week, some more than 12 hours a day without a single day off. No one can deliver consistent smiles or top-notch service under those conditions. This is something the management should seriously address. A personal highlight was celebrating my birthday during our stay. I was deeply touched by the warm gesture from Danai, one of the owners, who spends a lot of time on-site helping guests with anything they need. She is highly engaged, genuinely caring, and has a natural instinct for excellent hospitality — a true heart and soul of the resort. In summary: Saint Antonio Corfu Resort is a classy and beautifully located hotel with great charm and strong potential. We had a wonderful time and truly hope to return to this little gem in Kalami as it continues to grow and refine itself. Warm thanks to the entire Saint Antonio Corfu Resort team — especially to Danai — for making our stay truly special. We left with beautiful memories and a deep appreciation for the atmosphere, the views, and the care we received. We sincerely hope to return in the future. With gratitude, Your appreciative guests Peter and Anna from Sweden
