A BRIEF HISTORY
How it all began -1975

Once upon a time...
Once upon a time, around 1975, a local couple, John and Frida Poulis, used to spend time in the garden of their summer beach house in Benitses. All around them, the village started filling up with tourists from all around the world. They couldn’t help but notice the business opportunities of the tourism and hospitality industry Corfu offered those days. That’s when they decided it was time to tune up their garden and convert it into a hotel: the construction was completed in the early 1980’s. Riding the wave of the sudden tourism industry growth, Bella Vista was first managed by John and Frida, together with their eldest son George and with the assistance of the rest of the family. When it was time for John and Frida to retire, the hotel was rented out and operated by a local business.

2003

However...
However, 2003 represented a turning point in the history of Bella Vista hotel: Frida and John’s youngest daughter, Anthea, returned from London to the island and began managing the hotel. It was then that Bella Vista Hotel began its transformation in order to become what you experience today. Extensive renovations and room upgrades were made and they gave the hotel a breath of fresh air and greatly improved its quality and standards.

2007

2007 brought more innovation for the hotel: the business expanded with the purchase of the nearby Agis Hotel. The Agis Hotel gradually became what is now Bella Studios. The expansion and refurbishment focused on the simple, yet artistic design of the rooms, which also today characterize the hotel and gives it the customized touch. Since then, the hotel continues to undergo periodic upgrades and improvements, as well as increased amount of artwork throughout the properties from guest artists and art students. This whole combination of personalized contributions creates the unforgettable atmosphere here at Bella Vista Hotel in Corfu, which our guests can enjoy throughout their stay.
