Information and help please / Car hire or not??

« on: May 25, 2009, 12:59:44 PM »

We are off to SS soon staying at the Romanza. We were wondering whether or not to hire a car for a few days or just to do organised trips? We want to go to Corfu town, is it easy to drive to and park there? We quite like to do a round the island trip as normally the commentary is interesting. Is it cheaper to book them from a local agent rather than Thompson? Any advice on what we should do appreciated.

San Stefanos news and views / Romanza advice please

« on: May 25, 2009, 12:54:07 PM »

We are off to Romanza in a couple of weeks, I have a couple of questions. We usually do SC so not sure what to expect on B&B. Were the towels ok or do we need to take some? Does the linen etc get changed often. Do they provide toileteries and loo roll? I know there is a fridge but what about glasses/mugs etc? Will the restaurant on site accept credit cards? As we arrive late 10.30 pm at least, will we be able to get anything to eat? Thanks

Information and help please / Traveller Cheques charges to cash?

« on: May 05, 2009, 10:39:55 PM »

Hi
Can anyone tell me how much it costs to have traveller cheques exchanged, is it a flat rate or %. The Romanaza have confirmed they do cash them but did not mention charges. Would you suggest euro or sterling?? Thanks

San Stefanos news and views / Advice, how to take money??

« on: April 18, 2009, 10:13:43 PM »

We usually rely on atm's but understand that this may not be a good idea, advice please on how best to take money? The travel agent told me today that they are advising people not to use credit cards abroad because of fraud, but to take traveller cheques, they seemed to think they could be used as cash in restaurants? Would it be best to take travellers cheques in euro's or sterling? Any help appreciated.

Where to stay / Hotel Romanza info please

We are staying at the Romanza in June for 2 weeks. This is the first time we have stayed b&b, normally do sc, can anyone please tell me how often the rooms are serviced and towels/linen changed? Do we need to take some decent sized bath towels? I see there is a fridge in the room, does anyone know if they supply glasses etc for drinks on the balcony? I was hoping to be able to take a travel kettle, and also to make a packed lunch for some days, any advice? I have already worked out sensible shoes are needed for the walk into the village, any other tips please? I see there is not a cash machine in San Stefanos, do most places take credit cards for meals and shopping? Any advice for a first time visitors to Corfu greatly received. Thanks
