Title: Fedra Mare - 5 star
Post by: Jaxbubbles on May 28, 2013, 06:53:57 PM
We are just back from the Fedra Mare and it is the best apartments we have ever stayed in. Lovely big apartments with two floors. Big rooms and a bathroom with a shower and a bath!. Lovely toiletries and fluffy housecoats with slippers to match. Wonderful views over the pool and sea, and two balconies. The aircon is included in the price and the safes are free. Nice little touches everywhere like water and fresh orange in the fridge when we arrived, candles in the rooms to keep the mozzies out.
Great pool area which was cleaned every morning. The sun beds and seating area are all of excellent quality. It is like a five start hotel!
And I could not forget the lovely Harri and Dimetris (not sure how to spell his name) running it. They are the kindest, friendliest most helpful hoteliers I have ever came across.   And of course  the best breakfast in San Stef (my opinion) :) which included chocolate cake, fruit and biscuits, cooked by the lovely Harri and served with her great sense of humour.
Special mention to Manthos and his wonderful spicy prawns and mussels that my husband had to have nearly everyday. Not that I minded, sitting with my glass of wine and my feet on the wall watching the world go by has to be up there with my 10 most favourite things to do.  Looking forward to going back.

Thanks for your lovely report Jaxbubbles. Sounds like you had a lovely time there. :)

An excellent choice of accomodation and whilst we have never stayed there,many of our friends do and like yourselves receive outstanding hospitality.
What i did find most encouraging about your report is your mention of the most original and well positioned Manthos Taverna where the quality of fish and meat is unsurpassed.It is amazing that so many of today's visitors do not know that this 'Gem' exists.

     We are staying at Fedra Mare from this friday for a week, so it was great to read your report confirming everything Debra told us about it last year. We are in one of the apartments, sounds brilliant. Wish we hadn't mentioned the chocolate cake for breakfast to our grandaughter though.

And right opposite Manthos is Nafiska, which has excellent food. Then, of course, Beachcombers.

It took us a week last year to make it into the village at all!

 Sounds great Debra....think I'll be sticking to the full english though. Might be adventurous and try greek yoghurt one morning!

My wife and I stayed at FM in June 2010 for 10 nights
Can echo all comments on here.
Lovely apartments, great hosts. Dimi even arranged our personal taxi from and to Corfu airport at a v reasonable price.

If Easyjet flights from Bristol to Corfu were at better times than they currently are,  i'm sure we'd return.
Should really make the effort next year.
We stayed at Teresa the year before and although they both have v good qualities, some of a different nature, i think i'd lean towards FM, as a preference.

Middy you will have a great time, we are looking to go back to San Stef at the end of July but the FM is full. We will have to find somewhere else to stay Tell Harri and Demetris the Fisher clan from Scotland send their love:)

Jimbo I hate to say but we never made it to the Beachcomber which is my favourite place to eat. Don't ask me why we never went there because I don't know!! We had a drink in the Nafiska, there was a group of ladies who were having a great time, they had their own Karaoke going (words supplied by their I-phones,)

Middy - the chocolate cake was given as a gesture at the end of the breakfast, with the beautifully prepared fresh fruit salad and must say John highly recommends the bacon eggs and beans!!!  And the coffee is GOOD!

 Jaxbubbles..... have passed on your regards to Hari and Dimitri. As the thread says... 5 star.

Hope you get fixed up for end of july. We're at the Nafsika first two weeks in august.

They are without doubt the best apartments and best owners in the resort. Love the place and Hari and Dimi. Will be back for our 10th stay at the Fedra on 19th July.
