Benitses Arches

Benitses Arches is a traditional guesthouse set in the coastal village of Benitses on Corfu's south-eastern shore. The property's stone-arch architecture reflects the Ionian island's layered heritage — centuries of Venetian, French, and British influence that shaped everything from the alleyways of Corfu Town (Kerkyra) to the local cuisine. Guests can explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town, with its Venetian fortifications, the Liston colonnade, and Spianada square, in under an hour by car. Benitses itself retains the feel of an authentic fishing village, with waterfront tavernas serving sofrito and pastitsada, the island's signature beef dishes. The hotel offers a garden terrace, concierge services for island excursions, and easy access to water sports including scuba diving and parasailing. Bicycle and scooter rentals nearby make it simple to reach quieter beaches along the coast.
