Jimmys Apartments Sidari Corfu 4.53

It's no wonder people return here year after year. Run by Jimmy and his family, this small and friendly complex has a fun and welcoming atmosphere. It's in a great spot, too. Sidari's soft sands and resort centre are an easy ten minute stroll. So you won't have to worry about catching buses or paying for cabs when you want to head out. And when you want to escape from it all and relax in familiar surroundings, Jimmy's is just the ticket. A dinky complex with just 21 apartments, it never feels crowded here. Sitting in attractive gardens peppered with palm trees and plants, it's made up of just two whitewashed buildings. And the rooms themselves are light and airy with modern furnishings, a kitchenette and balcony. At the heart of the grounds is the swimming pool. Sunk into a sun terrace that's backed by manicured lawns, there are plenty of sun beds and parasols dotted about.

And if you've got little ones with you, they've got a separate paddling pool to splash about in. There's also a poolside bar serving snack and drinks, which comes to life after dark. If you're looking for somewhere you won't be a room number, it has to be Jimmy's Apartments. This is the place where everyone knows your name.
