Pictures Suites

As mentioned in my last review (10/24), my wife and myself are back holidaying in Corfu again and - after spending 4 nights at the Mon Repos Hotel in Corfu Town (see subsequent Review) - we are now coming towards the end of another most enjoyable (10 nights) stay at the exceptional Pictures Suites property in Agios Stefanos which has, effectively, now become our home away from home. It is always a pleasure to come back to Pictures Suites to enjoy the exceptional facilities, enjoy the outstanding hospitality (both Breakfasts and Dinners are to be sampled to be believed - Christos is, without doubt, a first-class Chef) and, above all, see Michaelis, Nea and all her team members (new and old) again. What was particularly satisfying on this visit was to not only see the property enjoying 100% occupancy but with many of the patrons being returning guests. In addition, I was pleased to learn that after our departure the whole property has been taken for a Wedding and, hopefully, this will be the first of many more as it is difficult to imagine a better local venue! Sad as we are to go, we’ll be back again next June and I’ll be keeping my eyes out for more Turtle Nesting activity on the nearby Agios Stefanos Beach!!

Had booked Picture Suites well in advance based off prior reviews and it definitely did not disappoint. The views/sunsets from our room where some of the best I have ever experienced, everything was very clean, always beds available at pool and beach, and most of all the staff were exceptional. I had let them know with just a day in advance it was my son's 9th birthday, and they went out of their way to provide him a lovely celebration. Giorges (sorry spelling), Katarina and their Mum ensured our every need was met every day, and always with a smile. The property is well maintained, the owners very responsive to any questions we had. Made to order breakfast every day was a highlight. The town of San Stefanos is also fantastic, lots of restaurants within walking distance, everyone super friendly, and just ticked all the boxes. We stayed for 7 nights but wish it could have been longer. Thank you to everyone at Picture Suites for making this a holiday to always remember.

Beautiful small boutique hotel with excellent service. Room has gorgeous view of the beach and bay. The service and attention to visitors is unparalleled! I have never been treated better at a hotel and they are genuinely interested in what people want, what their plans are so they can offer help, and really care about their visitors. Only 7 rooms so book early and you will be happy you did.

My wife and myself - on this occasion accompanied by my brother and his partner - are, after a 15 month absence, again holidaying in Corfu. We have just spent the last fortnight at our favourite Hotel Pictures Suites in Agios Stefanos. It was our 4th visit and we were again greeted - and indeed treated throughout our stay - like family members. It is something to be both experienced and seen to be believed and it came as no surprise when a fellow guest - who had spent many years in the travel business - that this was one of the best properties she had ever stayed at!! What was particularly nice was to see all the ‘regulars’ again (Nea, Michaelis Christos & Suchu) as well as the new members of the team (Dora, George & Lisa) who not only all made us (including my brother and his partner) most welcome but helped us celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary! All in all, it was another lovely stay - with my brother and myself walking an average of 10 miles a day in the nearby hills - and one that we very much look forward to repeating next June for my Birthday!!

Nia and the team at pictures are the best hosts, attentive and so welcoming. Alongside, the great facilities and the best views, Pictures was a great family holiday experience, I highly recommend a visit and we will be going back. The Chapman family, Silverstone UK.

We absolutely loved our stay at Pictures Suites. It is the most beautiful place, the views are spectacular and the rooms are so comfortable, spacious, and spotlessly clean, one of the best on the Island I’m sure, if not the best. They have everything you could need for your stay. On arrival, we received a very warm welcome from our lovely hosts, and I could immediately feel myself start to decompress! It is so relaxing here and I felt so at ease. Nia and her team also welcomed us with complimentary drinks, fruit and a bottle of wine, which was a lovely treat. We were blown away with our room and the spectacular views of Agios Stefanos beach and the Diapontia Islands. The sun sets magnificently over the islands every evening, not to be missed! Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, the special omelette is highly recommended. We did not eat dinner in the hotel but the breakfast, lunches and snacks were perfect and reasonably priced for such a beautiful hotel. Bottled water, more than you could ever need, is provided complimentary by the hosts. The most special thing about Picture Suites is the staff. The host Nia and her team are beautiful people, so genuinely kind, friendly and warm. They went above and beyond to help us on a couple of occasions and I will never forget it. This makes all the difference. Agios Stefanos itself is a beautiful place. A little further away from most of the other more popular resorts and an hours drive from the airport. I would recommend that you rent a car if you can to get about and really explore the area, however you would need to be very confident with driving on the right and with narrow bendy roads. I was worried at first that my two teenagers would be bored as it’s a quiet resort, but they absolutely loved the chilled out atmosphere, the pool, beautiful beach and lovely restaurants. We also did a boat trip from the harbour and took a taxi to Corfu town to explore the beautiful sights there for the day. We would highly recommended our taxi driver Spiros, whom Nia could put you in touch with if you are staying in Pictures Suites, he showed us some gorgeous places on the way home from Corfu town and had excellent local knowledge. His prices were also more reasonable than the transfer company we used. We loved Pictures Suites, nothing could have been better and we cannot wait to return one day. Next time hopefully in the master suite! Which if you can book, then do. It is out of this world! A huge thank you to Nia, Dora, George, Litsa, Christos and the entire Pictures Suites family for a holiday to remember.
