The Pelecas Country Club enjoys a peaceful setting in the countryside of the island of Corfu, in the midst of an olive tree estate. The nearest village (Pelekas) is four km away, and there’s a beach at five km. The island’s capital is at nine km.

There are several daily flights from Athens to Corfu. If you come from abroad, you may also find a direct flight. If you come by car, you will cross from Igoumenitsa (there are several ferries a day and the crossing takes about one hour). To get to the Pelecas Country Club, you should follow signs for Paleokastritsa and Pelekas from the town of Corfu. About seven kilometres from the town, you turn left towards the village Pelekas. The entrance to the Pelecas Country Club is on your right, about two kilometres after this turn. Last time I went, the sign had disappeared, so the best I can tell you is to look out for two red brick pillars and an iron entry gate, and to have your mobile phone and the phone number of the hotel at hand. If, by the way, you don’t want your arrival to go unnoticed, keep in mind there is a helicopter pad as well!

If you have to describe the island of Corfu in a few words, you could say it is a bit like Tuscany, but with the sea all around it. Take the rolling landscapes, vineyards and olive groves interspersed with cypresses, dozy villages and old manor houses of Tuscany, add beautiful bays, sandy beaches, turquoise waters and cliffs and rock formations, and you have Corfu. While the coastline is absolutely stunning (though parts are so popular that they have developed into small tourist ghettos you should definitely avoid!), the inland also makes Corfu really special. It is green, laid-back, quiet and unspoilt. The island’s capital ranks among the most beautiful towns in Greece. It has a charming old centre, impressive town squares and two historic fortresses.

To me, Corfu is a place to enjoy simple pleasures, like a walk in the hills, a drink on a village square or some grilled fish by the sea. There are beautiful beaches and places to swim. Enough to keep me happy for weeks. The island, however, caters to all tastes: you can play golf (there’s an 18-hole course at Ropa Valley), see a cricket match at the Spianada esplanade and have dinner at Etrusco, one of Greece’s finest (Italian) restaurants, and you can also tan away on organised beaches, take your kids to the Aqualand Waterpark, have Chinese or Tex-Mex for dinner and go disco-hopping at night. Fortunately, you can skip all that as well!
