Pelecas Country Club, Corfu

Description: Pelecas Country Club

Located in the heart of the Corfiot countryside, Pelecas Country Club is set in a 170 year old family estate, formerly dedicated to olive and wine production. After a sympathetic and extensive renovation, this charming property now offers cosy accommodation in a tranquil, rural atmosphere, along with all contemporary comforts.

Pelecas Country Club is a wonderful place for relaxing stays on Corfu, far from the hustle and bustle of the tourist resorts, yet within easy reach of the capital and the sea. On site, guests can enjoy horse riding, tennis, or simply relax by the pool with a cool drink.

Pelecas Country Club's individually decorated rooms and suites are set in three separate buildings that respect the quiet beauty of Corfiot nature and benefit from a unique Italian feeling. Rooms are all decorated with original antique and vintage furniture, mainly from the times of British rule, and reflecting the ties the family had with Florence. Services offered include daily maid service, a delicious home-made breakfast-brunch, and complimentary internet.
