Thomas Art Hotel

Beautiful small hotel with the most incredible host you could imagine!

To start, the hosts are fantastic! We've never experienced such friendly, open and involved hosts before. We've never seen Manolo NOT smile during our stay. They went beyond what a normal customer could ask, which is something we will never forget. The hotel and location are fantastic as well. Pelekas is a nice and relatively quiet village up the hill, away from the mass tourism on the beaches. There are some good restaurants on walking distance, a bakery and a small super market. Based on Manolo's advice we visited Yaliskari Beach, which is a small beach close by (15 min driving) with an amazing Taverna. 10/10 would recommend just going there all beach-days. The hotel has a beautiful view, which can be enjoyed during breakfast also. And to tag on that; the breakfast has many many great options to pick from.

The airconditioning (in our room at least) got slightly cold, so it took quite some time to get the room to a nice temperature when it was 37C outside. There is no WiFi in the rooms, but being within the EU this was no problem for us. And a good note is that they only accepted cash for the hotel payment. There is an ATM nearby, so that is not a big issue, but it's not very modern.

We had a perfect stay here. The staff is super friendly and have the best tips for beaches, restaurants or what to do on Corfu. Also for planning of trips with a boat they help you. The hotel is clean, the location is great and the breakfast is delicious. If we could give more than 10 point we would. Thank you Manolo for this perfect holiday!

Nothing to mention for us

Such a beautiful location in a lovely mountain village. The hotel itself is stunning, always kept to a very high standard and has such a unique feel to it. The rooms are so lovely, clean, and well looked after with a beautiful balcony to watch the sunset. Manolo couldn’t have been more helpful if he tried! Always available and explained to us the island and where to eat/ visit. Would definitely recommend renting a car if you can- again Manolo helped us with that. The beaches are about a 5 min drive away but probably a 30 minute walk down quite steep hills! Would 100% come back here and couldn’t recommend enough. Lots of tavernas/ cafes/ bars within a 2 minute walking distance from the hotel and the old town is about a 20 minute drive away- but there is also a bus that goes a few times a day to the old town from Pelekas which we took. Thank you Manolo for making our stay so special!! 🫶

Manolo and his wife were very hospitable and were more than happy to assist with any requests, nothing was too much trouble. The room had an excellent view from the balcony and terrace where breakfast was served.

Pelekas is a hilly village, as are many villages in Corfu. The hotel has a steepish path to the entrance, although not an issue, perhaps a handrail on the wall, would have been assistance to me, as I have MS, and am not as mobile as I used to be.

Simple but nice rooms and amazing view from the balcony. Breakfast on the terrace each morning overlooking the sea was great. The host was very helpful and made sure we had a great stay, would definitely return!

Quite a thin/hard mattress

Manolo, Michaela and staff could not have made us feel more welcome - always smiling and friendly and checking if we needed anything - and Manolo provided lots of helpful information about where to eat, access to beaches etc.. They genuinely seem to care about giving their guests the very best experience they possibly can and they have created a unique and special place with a really happy atmosphere. Beautiful view to the sea from the terrace and our balcony. Very peaceful. Very clean. Lovely breakfasts with lots of choices including huge portions of the most dreamy Greek yoghurt with honey! Proximity to friendly and attractive Pelekas centre with some good restaurants and a few small shops was really handy.

There was nothing about the hotel that we didn't like! However it is worth saying that we were glad that we had hired a car for the duration, as the roads to the beaches were extremely steep, and further than we would have wanted to walk. But if we return to Pelekas we will definitely choose to stay at the Thomas Art Hotel again, as, for us, the pleasure of being there far outweighed this factor.
