The Wave

Had the BEST time here. Staff so friendly, amazing food and cocktails, clean, lovely and relaxing etc etc. Could go on and on. Thank you so much to everyone on the team for making our holiday so special, the family run ethos really shines though. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful place. Our favourite Greek venue so far, we absolutely loved The Wave and the service we received. Our arrival in Corfu was delayed by more than four hours, so by the time we arrived it was 4am in the morning. There was no one to greet us at this time, but our room was all prepared and ready, with the key in the lock, drinks and snacks to replenish us, and a welcoming note from Nikos. What better reception could we possibly ask for? Nikos was equally welcoming in the restaurant later that morning when we had our late breakfast. He was keen to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. We booked a two-bedroom ground floor family apartment, which came with two very good sized bedrooms, two shower rooms, very comfortable beds, and modern clean furniture. Outside was a large terrace with a large table and plenty of comfortable chairs. The terrace is east facing, so we were greeted daily with glorious morning sunshine, but also shaded from the hot Geek sun from 11am onwards. The location of our apartment at the far end of the building made it feel very private too. The Wave is a small hotel of about 17 apartments. Everything felt very friendly and secure, so we could just leave our belongings in our apartment and stroll from our terrace over to the pool and not worry about a long walk or having to lock the doors. The pool was generally very quiet. We had no trouble in finding sun loungers to sit on, even up to midday. The sea is also just over the other side of a quiet road, and was also very quiet and free from any crowds. The hotel is just the right distance from the centre of Sidari. An easy 15 minute walk would get us into the centre of the busy resort (which wasn't as noisy and tacky as I'd feared), but was far enough away that we could rest and sleep in peace. The hotel restaurant food was well priced and of very good quality, so we were more than happy to eat here. Our whole experience of The Wave was absolutley faultless, and I want to personally thank Nikos (and the three generations of his family that run the hotel) for creating such a relaxing and inviting holiday haven. We would definitely want to come back again.

Everything about this place is perfect! We had one of the bigger 2 bedroom apartments. The apartment was huge, very well equipped with nice touches such as wine glasses, corkscrew, citronella candles etc. We had two bathrooms and the showers are excellent. The beds were very comfy. Everything was very clean. We had an amazing furnished terrace overlooking the garden. The family who run this place are lovely. There are three generations and they cannot do enough to make your stay special. We were delayed and arrived in the middle of the night, I emailed them to let them know that we could make our own way to the room so they didn’t have to wait up for us. When we arrived they had left some essentials in our apartment (water, coffee, milk etc). This was really lovely of them. The pool is great, and the temperature just right for cooling off. There are plenty of comfy sunbeds for everyone. The pool bar and restaurant is fabulous. All the food is delicious and well priced. We ate here quite a few times. The hotel is in a lovely location. The area around is very quiet with an amazing sea view looking over to Albania. But it is a short walk into the centre of Sidari where there are lots of restaurants and bars. Some of them were a bit loud and touristy for us, but we did find a couple of fabulous restaurants with excellent Greek food; Memories and The Greek Village. There is a quiet little beach just to the left of the hotel where you can go for a peaceful swim without loads of tourists around. We have stayed in lots of family run hotels in Greece, and they are all lovely. But this is our favourite. We would definitely come back.

Our third visit to the wave and we can't wait to go back. From the moment you arrive Nikos and his team do everything to ensure your stay is as relaxing as it can be. Nikos work extremely hard and is available practically 24 hours a day! Nikos makes extra efforts to get to know you personally remembers your name and remembers your order preferences. The rooms are cleaned every day with all you could need their air con, kettle, hobs, a safe and very comfortable beds. The grounds and surrounding areas are well maintained and you cannot beat waking up to the lovely picturesque view of the sea. We could not fault the food that we had at the wave, we had breakfast everyday and ate their for the majority of our afternoon meals, we ate their one evening and it was the best meal we had whilst being in Sidari. We absolutely love the wave and cannot recommend it enough. We can't wait to come back!

To set the scene - 39ft from the sea with a stunning backdrop of the Albanian mountains in the horizon, to the back of the property there is a beautiful scenic view of the green hills lined with cypress trees among other trees. Nikos, Christos and their family are simply put fantastic hosts, complete professionals, you are always looked after. There has been an addition to the restaurant this year with a very talented chef, the food is consistent quality a full of flavour (my favourite was the chicken sovlaki - best is Corfu!). The restaurant is pretty full each evening, with guests & visiting tourists, locals from the area also eat here, the standard of service and food is excellent. The apartments are well maintained (cleaner attends daily) and very comfortable, I have given 5 stars for The Wave as it’s surrounding setting of the sea is beautiful, the staff are caring and attentive, and the site itself is a friendly relaxing environment. Bravo Nikos & the A-Team!!

Because the hotel is run by the hard-working family, they know how to appreciate and satisfy their guests. Niko was very friendly and helpful. He offered us a warm welcome on arriving and welcome drinks. In midst of his busy working day, he was able to organize a cheap transfer for us from sidari to paleokastritsa, since it was very difficult to get hold of a reliable taxi in sidari. The whole family is just more than outstanding and loving. The view is fascinating. The rooms are clean. The food was very nice. And the live-music night was very fascinating by the sunset until late night. If you want a real experience of greek generousity and kindness, choose the wave! We are definetely visiting again... Ta leme...

We booked two sea view studios at The Wave for 9 nights. The location is perfect, on the sea front and peaceful but just a stroll into Sidari main street. The location is also a great base if you have a car and want to travel around the island. The apartments are very clean, well equipped and the bed is enormous and super comfortable. Air conditioning is included in the price so no hidden costs for anything. A good sized balcony with views of the sea, beautiful scenery and pool. The family who own The Wave are just lovely, we felt completely welcome and at home. The food was fantastic, home made, fresh and beautifully presented and a gorgeous view of the sunset over the sea. We could not have picked a better place to stay and will return for sure. Absolutely no complaints. Thank you for a fantastic holiday 😊 xx
