Recently, the family decided to renovate the 19th century mansion and convert it to a gorgeous boutique hotel, following the steps of their grandmother known by the locals as Siorra Vittoria.
The restorations of the building proceed with extreme care in order to preserve its authentic style by a talented architect. The interiors transfer you back to another era, influenced by the Venetian architecture and Corfu's cultural heritage.
The residence is located at 36 Padova str, a nice, quite small street at the center of the old town just a few steps away from the well- known City Hall Square, the Ionian Parliament and the famous arches of the Parisian Liston Square.
The mansion rests in three floors with the ground floor consisting of a luxurious living room, the dining area and the lushly garden.
A warm welcome will be the first thing a guest will experience upon his arrival at Siorra Vittoria. Just by entering through the impressive metal door, one could discover the small hidden treasures creating an aristocratic atmosphere and a promising ambiance for a relaxing hideaway. Either visiting for business or pleasure, the guests make themselves at home combining this elegant atmosphere with the friendly environment.
The luminous living room is the perfect base for a meeting, social gathering or a drink before dinner. Decorated with antique furniture, leather lined couches, wooden floor and pastel walls with subtle lighting could be perfectly used as a conference room. The hotel offers technical support such as a laptop with internet access, a fax machine and a photocopier.
The gracious dining area in soft tones of white, decorated with designed furnishings and stylish period fabrics which reveal the building's original integrity, is the perfect place to take your breakfast or have a cup of coffee while admiring the wonderful garden view.
The small, but neat kitchen offers homemade breakfast, served either at the dining area or in the comfort of your room. In the event of any special request, we are willing to prepare your favored dish so long as we receive prior notice.
The 300 square meters lush garden is full of colorful flowers, pines and other Mediterranean plants, however the most amazing spectacle is the age-long Magnolia tree dating back to the 18th century. On sunny days, guests can further enjoy the wonderful garden and take their breakfast in the beautiful shady spot under the unique Magnolia tree.
The setting is also perfect for small wedding receptions, parties or gatherings during the summer period.
The personalized service, welcoming atmosphere and an unparallel sense of hospitality are the hallmarks of Siorra Vittoria. Daily maid service is provided throughout your stay, preparing your room for a relaxing day. Breakfast in bed is provided at no extra charge from 7:30 am onwards.
We are more than pleased to provide any advice on sightseeing, transfers, dining and numerous other activities you may wish. Available upon request are services for relaxing and revitalizing your body such as face and body massage, manicure & pedicure and hairdresser.
The boutique hotel consists of nine luxurious rooms; seven of them are spread evenly over the two floors of the residence with the exception of the 'Exclusive suite' at the top floor of the residence. The other two superior rooms are individually situated adjacent to the main building. The characteristic wooden staircase leads to the gracious rooms and suites, each one with a unique personality named after the ancestors of the Metaxas family.
All the rooms are equipped with modern comforts and facilities, making your stay a truly memorable experience. Some rooms are interconnecting offering a great convenience for families or groups of four guests.
