The hotel is beautiful, well designed, boutique with a quiet relaxed approach to it. It was immaculately clean. Despite them stating that housekeeping was every two days, I got clean towels and fresh coffee everyday. The pool was delightful, the staff were very amenable. Despite the room being small it was well designed with loads of storage. The bathroom was also small and a larger shower would have been appreciated. The balcony was completely private and in shade which gave a welcome retreat as the sun rose. The views from the top floor (my room) were spectacular! The bar was cheaper than town. The pool was chlorine free so refreshing and nice to swim in. I had a spa treatment which they arranged very quickly and was wonderful, the therapist was extremely good. Loved it. Locally the beach was lovely, a quieter resort with areas of peace. The loungers that line the beach are free. The views were incredible. For sunset views visit Fishermen’s Haunt and for moonlight views visit Bacchus. I’ll be back x

The ionian eye design is a beautiful little apartment complex about 7 min walk from the centre, the rooms are modern and have everything you need. We stayed in a sea front suite and the views were amazing, the pool is clean and the sunbeds are the most comfortable I've ever lied on. Staff where excellent and couldnt do enough to make us feel welcome. We will definitely be back

Will definitely return

The Ionian Eye is the place to stay in Corfu. First of all a huge thank you to the extremely helpful staff and management who helped us to our entire satisfaction. They are so well organised and made our stay ever so pleasing. Then the views from the hotel are bewitching at dawn and sunset. The closest restaurants where you eat best are not more than a short walk away and for those a little more adventurous, attractions such as castles, monasteries and horse-riding are little more than a 15 minute drive away. However you can stay and enjoy yourself just in the village where the beach is at an arm's length. In any case, just ask for suggestions from the staff. Enjoy !

It is small in size & so are the sea facing bedrooms. I thin the term is bijou but the a/c works great & isn't too noisy at night. The staff are all very helpful & warm to deal with. This is Greece so you have to factor this in, given the general mess the country is in. It isn't five star but given the pricing, it does represent fair value. It is a shame that some smaller things go unaddressed but there could well be good reason for this. Decent beaches are a drive away so the pool is the default day location otherwise. the pool has great views but the food offered for lunch at the pool bar could be enhanced. A missed opportunity, as is the spar which doesn't seem to get used. The latter could be repurposed for offering more substantial meals. One thing I didn't like was that the hotel has a A-sign on the road entrance openly touting for non-residents to come in & use the facilities for free (perhaps to increase takings at the pool bar). Those staying at the hotel had paid to use them but outsiders could wander in for free & from anywhere.

Upmarket small resort

Upmarket, comfortable small resort. Well equipped room, but compact! Comfy bed. Only complaint really was our shower either got hot very slowly or not at all. Nice pool with pool bar. No children, all quite relaxing- mainly couples. Good bar down the road called the Time Out Boss cocktail bar, nice spot with a fun host.

Would definitely recommend

Loved our stay at Ionian Eye. Pool was in great condition with comfy sun beds and fantastic view. Friendly bar service and reception was very helpful - arranged taxi from airport and other activities available in town (e.g. massage and speedboat hire). Some great places to eat within a 15 minute walk - George’s and Zak’s were personal favourites, who offered wide range of tasty Greek specialties and very friendly service. Room was small as expected but had everything we needed. Had kitchen with induction hob, fridge, aircon and plenty of storage for a couple.

Very clean and Modern hotel with Very Nice View

We chose to stay here after ending up at a terrible hotel at first, transfered to here what a relief, we booked a standard room but then recieved a call to ask if we wanted the sea view room at no extra cost. When we arrived we where greeted and shown to our room. Rooms very modern , beds massive and comfy. The pool is spacious and the area has constant sun all day.
In a nice location with 5 resteraunts within a 10 minute walk. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Will be staying here again

Cozy

Our short stay was booked for my partner and I along with my daughter which meant we had a small studio with one double room and a sofa bed.
Although expecting my daughter to sleep on the sofa bed, my partner and I choice this instead, so not to be cut off from the shower room, balcony and front door. The sofa bed was actually very comfortable.
Although studio was done out very nicely, it was a bit smaller than we had expected. The kitchenette was fully equipped with saucepans, bowls, sieve etc etc but owing to the tiny size and lack of work top area, preparing a meal would certainly be a challenge. There was also no cupboard space for food. The only place to sit and eat is outside on the balcony but only enough room to configure two chairs around the table, we were also bombarded by wasps when trying to eat breakfast out there.
This however wasn't a major problem with other meals as the Tavernas were within walking distance and relatively cheap compared to the North of the island.
The beach is also within walking distance, which was ok.
The pool area is the best feature of this Hotel, with lovely double bed loungers and a very handy pool bar.
Overall experience was good but we found it to be too small for the three of us in the one studio.

The location was very quite and barely had any people (beginning of May), and it's quite far from the town. Overall it was a good summer holiday for relaxing and had good cultural restaurants near by. The rooms were clean and comfy with an ocean view and the staff were nice. I would recommend hiring a car. Otherwise everything else was perfect.

Fantastic holiday!

Had a fantastic week in the Ionian eye. Costas arranged our taxi transfer, and we received a warm welcome from Leigh on arrival who showed us to our room. Leigh is on hand if needed to answer any questions or arrange taxis, trips etc.
Our apartment was on the top floor, with a fantastic view of the sea, we watched the sun rise from our bed! We found the room to be perfect and just as expected from the pictures. Other reviews say the rooms are small but we found it more than adequate, and with the most comfortable bed! Bathroom perfect wet room best we have ever had in Greece in over 20 years of going.
Great to have a hairdryer, free safe and air conditioning, and Towels for use around the pool.
The pool, WOW the whole pool area was amazing with day beds, giant pillows and bean bags so comfortable. The whole area was clean and was hardly used by other guests so for most of our time there we had the area mainly to ourselves. It was so quiet nice not to have a pool bar etc with our room so close by it was so easy to get a cool drink from our fridge.
Only thing I would like to mention it would have been nice to have sheets changed during the week, but this was the only thing I could mention which would make the Ionian eye perfect!
This is an amazing place you will not be disappointed!

The room was clean and had one double bed and as well a sofa bed. The kitchenette was sufficiently equipped, the fridge is a bit too small and only holds small bottles or cans but no bottles larger then .5 litre. Aircondition is good and not noisy. The bath room is tiny, but okay. Room service checks daily. The pool area is very nice. Plenty of outdoor beds, partly with shade. Sun umbrellas are fixed and cannot be moved or adjusted, which should be improved. The pool bar is open from 10AM until 6PM (except sundays) and offers plenty of drinks, soft drinks snacks and even some meals.

Positive:
The hotel is a bit outside of the Mesongi town, but a short walk of 10 minutes takes you to plenty of good restaurants and bars. There are also several supermarkets close by where one can buy whatever one needs.
Not too many rooms and most guests stay only very short for a couple of days.

Negative:
Even if the hotel is only a small distance from the Ionian Sea, there is no chance to reach a beach close by. It is all private beaches. The closest beach in walking distance is about 10 10-minute walk and then this is crowded by other many guests of all the hotels in the city of Messongi.

(If you are a fan of nice calm sandy beaches, you'd better look for a stay on the West coast of Corfu. We did rent an ATV and drove over to the other side of the island to enjoy those nice beaches.)

Nettes Appartement Hotel mit eigenem Pool. Nettes Personal und super entspannte und schnelle Kommunikation inkl. Selbstcheckin.
Die Zimmer sind frisch renoviert und sauber, leider flutet man beim Duschen das Badezimmer. Der Spa Bereich ist leider nur kostenpflichtig nutzbar und besteht aus einem Jacuzzi und der Möglichkeit Massagen zu buchen. Der Poolbereich könnte sauberer sein (leere Shampoo Flaschen an der Pooldusche, verschmutzte Liegen) und Kleinigkeiten müssten Instand gesetzt werden (Duschkopf). Ein paar Sonnenschirme mehr wären ebenfalls wünschenswert. Die Auswahl in der Poolbar ist in Ordnung, aber besser ist man in einer der umliegenden Tavernen aufgehoben.

Tyylikäs hotelli, upeat maisemat, pariskunnille

Tyylikäs ja moderni hotelli/studio. Huone oli hyvä, minikeittiön varustetaso erinomainen. Olin tosin lukenut hotellin kuvauksen huonosti ja tuli yöllä saapuessamme pienenä yllätyksenä, että tarjolla ei ole aamupalaa eikä hotellissa ole ravintolaa, josta sellaisen voisi ostaa. Kävelymatkan päässä on kylä, jossa on onneksi paljon kauppoja, ravintoloita ja kahviloita. Erityisesti hotellin lähellä oleva Mermaid ravintola nousi meidän suosikiksi; kreikkalainen miljöö upealla paikalla meren rannalla! Meillä oli sea view studio - suosittelen lämpimästi. Aamulla sai ihastella suoraan sängystä auringonnousun meren takaa. Hotellussa on upea allasalue upein näköaloin. Mielummin otimme siinä aurinkoa kuin kävelimme läheisille yleisille kivirannoille. Auton vuokraaminen onnistui näppärästi hotellista, samoin kuljetukset kentälle. Wi-Fi toimi aika laiskasti. Huoneiden siivous ei ollut joka päiväustä, siitä ehkä pieni miinus. Meille olisi kyllä ehdottomasti ollut tarpeen saada puhtaat pyyhkeet päivittäin. Muuten kaikki toimi todella hyvin ja voitaisiin todellakin tulla toistekin. Ehdottomasti parhaimmasta päästä oleva hotelli Kreikan yleiseen hotellitasoon nähden. Erityisesti sopii pariskunnille jotka haluavat vähän romanttisemman ja rauhallisen miljöön lomallensa. Ja jos haluaa enemmän menoa, bussilla pääsee kätevästi esim Korfun kaupunkiin.
