“'also same time as joanne b'”

We stayed at Damia's for the first 3 weeks of September and it was our 4th time staying in the Sidari area as we love the Country, culture and the people and we now return every two years for 3 weeks. We usually stay near the main strip, but wanted a quieter part of the area this time and we were not disappointed. Beautiful hotel, beautiful views and very helpful and friendly staff. We only had one disturbed night when people got moved into the room next door as their air con had broken and they arrived back early hours of the morning and decided to have a loud chat on the balcony until 4.30 am, but we knew they were on holiday and we expect that from people who are on holiday as they are usually there to enjoy themselves. Other than that, the noise was no more than what you would usually get if you choose to stay in a hotel complex - if you want total peace and quiet then maybe apartments without a pool/bar would be the better option so you would only be woken up by the cockerels.

I did smile when I read the comment about Damia only being nice to you if she liked your husband - I am pleased to say my husband returned home with me : ) I never once witnessed Damia or her family being anything but friendly and helpful towards the guests and from what I saw, Damia got on just as well with the wives/females as she did with the husbands/males.

The maid service was the best we have ever had and out of the three weeks we stayed there were only two days that they did not come in and that was because we declined the service as we were having a lazy day in bed !!

As for the mosquitos, it was the WHOLE island that had a mosquito problem not just Damias hotel. We visited a large area of the island and it was the same everywhere and there was a huge amount of people (including my husband) from all areas of the island that said they never usually get bitten and this year they had. I also spoke to many people around the island who like me, usually get eaten by mosquitos and so take precautions to reduce this such as using citronella etc and they all said this was the first year that the repellants and antihistamines did not work - I find it very harsh to blame the mosquito problem on the hotel. Maybe in time someone will put a review on here that will blame the unusually high temperatures for September (high 40's) on the hotel !!

So all in all we had a lovely 3 weeks, we met some lovely people and enjoyed some late night chats, laughs and drinks at the bar and we would definately go back again.

Oh and I swam in the pool most days and it was immaculate.

“English version of "Sconsigliabile per famiglie automunite italiane"”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

We are an italian family composed by four people: mum, dad, one daughter (16) and one son (7).
We stayed at Damia’s Hotel, in Corfu, from 3 to 14 August 2011. We booked in February a 2 bedrooms flat, they lodged us into a unique room with 2 single beds and a bunk bed instead, over a noisy bar. Obiouvsly the room wasn’t enough!
In addition, the apartment wasn’t cleaned daily, we had to buy the toilet paper, there weren’t curtains that could black out the early morning light, there wasn’t always hot water, the swimming pool was full of wasps, that bit my son more than one time.
I red lots of positive comments, so I’m sure that Damia can be gentle and affable with guests... Perhaps we were more interested in a confortable and appropriate service than in the sociability of the staff (that we, anyway, weren't given).

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011

was so looking forward to my 2 weeks in the damia and to introducing our friends to corfu.the hotel itself is stunning,spotlessly clean.the maids are in every second day with clean towels and sheets every 3-4 days.its a little bit out of the way tho.perfect if you want peace and quiet or like walking but in that heat lol?the rooms above the kitchen are baking hot and seemed to have a big problem with mossies because of this.our friends where put in 106 and 2 of them had to visit the doc with bites.(yes they took precautions sprays,plug ins mossie candles etc).maybe just bad luck?also just bad luck we went in sept as there was no entertainement on apart from one greek night.would i go back?yes the food in the hotel was lovely as was the beer lol.but dont think i would go at end of season as hotel was too quiet for my liking.yamas damia

Room Tip: find the excellent orchard taverna,and a bar called one for the rd for some excellent tribute nights

“Now read the truth.”

Where do I start?. We checked in ( if you can call it that) on 10/09/12 at 6am. Damia was very rude & unwelcoming due to the fact that she had been woken up.We were waved round to the side of the block and given a key and told where our room was. No one showed us to our room and there was no one on the receiption to greet us. This is very sub-standard.
I have to say at this point the room seemed to be clean & tidy so we quickly unpacked and relaxed for a couple of hours before being woken up by very loud music at 8.30am. Can I just say that if you are unfortunate to be put in room 107 demand to be moved at once. I say this because on the 1st night there we were infested with mosquitoes and I mean Infested there were 100s of them. We were bitten from head to toe literally. Damia did not seem to be bothered by this and continued to ignore us and basically be rude.
We ate at the Damia the saturday night and the food was very nice but the fear of the Mosquito problem this place has made it a very un-enjoyable meal. We decided not to eat there again and found a beautiful place about 5 minutes walk called the Orchard. At 1st the pool seemed to be very clean but as the week went on I noticed the Green Algi all on the floor and it was there for the 3 days that were left of our holiday. Damia seemed to be very friendly with her regular customers and I think she should stick to it being an exclusive private place for these people because anyone else does not stand a chance of any sort of pleasantries from this woman, well not unless your husband/ boyfriend has caught her eye.
Most the guest that I spoke to seemed to have the same opinion of this woman and found her very rude, arrogant, and ignorant. I really have tried to find something good to say about this place but have found it very difficult. I noticed if you booked your holiday on a late deal and got it slightly cheaper than what you would have normally paid you were outed by Damia & her family straight away. I certanly will NOT be going to this place again and will also be complaining to Thomas Cook about it.
The Mosquito problem that this place has seems to be something that is ignored and only after complaint after complaint were we moved to another room. This by the way was not due to the Infestation of Mosquitoes but due to the fact that the Air Con Did Not work! which I might add she made all sorts of excuses for even trying to make out we ourselves had broken it.
There was NO entertainment on at all even though they do advertise the fact that they do have some on. Damia found it funny to let the guests enjoy the entertainment from the place over the road as we could hear it every night. The TV was on all the time but only for Football.
Overall this was probably the worst holiday I have ever had and would strongly advise you not to visit the Damia not unless you want to spend most of your holiday money on Mosquito creams & sprays. or if you want to spend your entire holiday covered up because the bites were so bad you could not expose them to the sun. I do understand from reading most of the reviews on here you would think this was a great place to visit just like we did. DONT BE FOOLED!!!!!!!!!

Room Tip: Do NOT accept rooms 102 to 107
