Comments: It is an honor for me to be the first reviewer this year. We (my wife, my 15 years old daughter and me) stayed at Dinas Paradise for the first time, on the last week of August. We had a 3 persons apartment, the one that you can see on their site, taking the 3D tour.
First of all I must say what is really important for us when we book a place for vacation:
- the view-balcony - the balcony must be pretty large and the view as fine as it can be, as we are spending more time on the balcony than in the room;
- the room - must be pretty large and clean. The air conditioner is a must. The TV or telephone are not required;
- wireless internet is a must, either in the room or balcony, as my business is online, besides we are talking a lot with our friends over the internet.
We had plenty of all of the above at Dinas. The view is stunning, as you can see in the photos. It is, for sure, one of the best views in Agios Gordios.
From the balcony you can see the sun going down in the Ionian Sea and this is something to see!
The room is fine, actually there are two rooms in the 3 persons apartment, one with a bed and kitchen, one with two beds and the balcony entrance. The beds are large, we didn't use the bed in the first room as the two beds in the bedroom were large enough for three people. The room was daily cleaned and the sheets and towels were replaced properly.
The entire place is surrounded by well kept gardens, there is a lot of green and flowers around and there is a spectacular stone above the south part of the location. For the cats lovers, as we are, there are 4 or 5 cats around :)
There is a pool available and we enjoyed the sunset from it, as it can be seen in the photos.
Last but not least, the owners Dina and Vassilis are kind and helpful. Vassilis drove us down in Agios Gordios with his car at our departure as our baggage was pretty heavy. They would be able to drive us up at our arrival, but I didn't think to call and ask them.
The place is around 300 meters from the beach through the village, but there is a shorter way that leads directly to the beach. If you have a car, yours or hired, it is fine but if you walk, the climb will be quite testing. It will be good for your health though, you will burn off the extra calories from moussaka.
We highly recommend Dinas Paradise and if we will come to Corfu again, we are definitely going to stay at Dinas. This was one of our best holidays, thank you Dina and Vassilis!
