Corfu, Greece
Our exclusive property-Aronda House
Our charming family-run property is exclusive to Solos guests and offers an uncrowded environment that you can relax and enjoy with the other Solos guests. Managed by the Korakianitis, Gregory, Kiki and their wonderful family are renowned for their warmth and hospitality, and will cater to your every need. Enjoy lazy pool days, with plenty of refreshments from the pool bar - which is also open to the public.
Ideally located in the heart of Dassia, this simple residence is just minutes from the Blue Flag award-winning shingle and pebbly Dassia Beach. This beach turns sandy as soon as you step into the clear shallow waters. Life is unhurried here. Watch the world go by as you sip on a refreshing drink in one of the excellent waterfront tavernas and bars. Sun loungers and beach umbrellas are lined up for hire across the beach, and for the more active, there is a selection of water sports and boat rentals for you to enjoy. As the sun goes down, there is a more relaxed feel, with a host of tavernas offering a range of cuisines, from traditional Greek to international. There are plenty of bars that open late into the evening, and even a few nightclubs if you are looking for a lively night out.
Our location- Corfu
Away from the beach and swimming pool, Corfu has so much to offer. Corfu Town lies in a stunning setting on the Ionian Sea. Take in a slice of history at the beautiful Palace of the Saints George & Michael, which housed the British government in the early 19th century. Or just wander through the maze of streets in the old town. In the green hills of the hinterland, we will find the traditional village of Kato Korakiana. Here you'll get a real feel for the Greek way of life. There is even the option to take a horseback ride through the endless olive groves. We will also find a branch of the National Gallery and a handful of genuine Corfiot tavernas and restaurants offering all types of cuisine, from gyros to gourmet.
Wine & Dine Together
We all dine together with our included fantastic BBQ night. With a taverna in the garden overlooking the pool, Kiki and her family host the evening, preparing delicious food for everyone. The rest of the week, you'll have the option to head out to dine. There is a selection of restaurants only a short walk away or you can get to Corfu Town by taxi in 30 minutes.

Gratuities
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of trip, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of €20.00 per week.
Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate amount to add on.
Dress Code
Casual, cotton, lightweight daytime wear is the order of the day. Comfortable shoes are a must for sightseeing. Smart casual clothes will be ideal for the evening, with the emphasis throughout being informal but with no shorts or vests in the restaurants in the evenings. Early and late season evenings can be cool so do ensure that you take a cardigan or jacket and even some rainwear – particularly in May and June when you may experience some spring thunderstorms.
