Until the end of October any bookings have to be made through Olympic Holidays, after that we are not yet commited to anyone although we are looking around. If anyone would like to book to come in the winter we can accommodate them, just get in touch. With easyjet starting flights in the winter this should help people wanting to travel from the uk.

We visited Roula Studios back in Sep 2006.
We would like to visit again this year end of Sep beginning of October.
Is there any way to get in touch with Anne and Spiros to check availabilty, because we would like to travel independently and wondered if they took bookings directly.
Thanks
Jeff

I used to be head rep for olympic in 2003, the Roula were always a really good choice and people always loved their stay.

As a result me and my girlfriend had 2 wonderful weeks back in Beniteses in Sep 2006 and stayed at the Roula. Spiros and Anne are great hosts and very friendly people.
 
Benitses is not as busy as it used to be, but the olcation of the Roula means everything in on your doorstep, there is a good bus service to Corfu town and some really nice restaurants too. Although I suggest you try the food at Roula cos its FAB!!
 
I now work in a travel agent in the UK and have since booked my Mum to go to the roula this September, she was there in Sep 2005 and also loved it!!
 
If you are going to the roula, you will have a great time

The on;y way that you can book the appartment is by going to the Olympic Holidays web site and filling in the booking asking for the apartment, if it comes up unavailable the it means that it is already booked for those dates. Hope you're successfull and we look forward to seeing you in 2007

We have just returned from Benitses after a 1 week stay at the Roula studios. It was the last week of the tourist season and consequently the majority of the local tavernas were closed. Anne and Spyros were absolutely brilliant and were very welcoming. They cooked for us most nights and even cooked food that we requested that was not on the menu. Food was excellent and we always got free deserts for our children. The pool area was great and our children were the only ones who used the pool.

Me and my husband have just come back from the Roula Studios in Corfu, we had a lovely time Anne and Spiros we excellent hosts and we loved every minute of it. The Achllion Palace is a must to see, but don,t forget your camera. Corfu was a lovley place for a relaxing hoilday. 

Karen O           

We loved our time at Roula Studios in Benitses, Anne and Spiros were excellent hosts, and will gladly recommened them to our friends and family, and Corfu was very lovley and really we enjoyed every minuite.

Unfortunately rooms have to be vacated at 12 noon on the day of departure so that they can be cleaned and made ready for new guests arriving. This should always be pointed out when the holiday is booked, but unfortunately does not always happen. Guests should not be led to believe that room extension is always possible as this is not the case. At this time of year it is very unusual for us to have empty rooms and so the best we can do is provide a curtesy room for all the guests at no extra charge, to enable them to have a shower and change. If there are no arrivals booked into the rooms then there is no problem in having  a room extension at a small fee paid locally.

We have just returned from the Roula apartments and the rooms are very small, the rooms were cleaned every other day and we received a change of towels and bedding.

The only fault is that you have to leave the rooms at 12 on the day of departure and we were told that you could pay extra to keep the rooms on. We had to wait 15 hours until we were collected from the resort and the hotel owners would not let us keep a room on. We were given only 45 minutes to use a coutersey room.
 
The resort is quiet with only a few bars but the restaurants are lovely.

Myself and my partner will be staying at the Roula Studio's at the end of September. We would just like to know about the studio's, beach, nightlife, restaurants etc.

I stayed in Roula apartments for a week this July.
The apartment is OK,clean,towels provided.The swimming pool is nice,but a bit small.
The apartments are run by a very nice couple(english-greek),when u order caffe frappe u get a water maloon for free :) .

Benitses is vety quiet, so do not forget to take a book.
The beach is very pebely,but the water is nice and clean.

It's a nice and relaxing place and not too expensive.

Rachel H           

I am coming in August to stay at the Roula Studios with my husband and two friends. I would like to know if towels are provided or should i bring my own?

Spent a good two weeks at Roula and have just arrived back today.
The accommodation has just been bought by Spiros and Anna.
The accommodation is not as basic as most other Greek apartments as Roula apartments since Anne & Spiros took over provide a kettle shower curtain shower hook and fan. The apartments are linked to the Argo Resturant and Pool Bar run by Anne and Spiros. There is no charge for the facilities for residents. The facilities around the pool bar are excellent. The food cooked by Anne is of a very high standard and highly recommended. The hospitality offered by Spiros and Anne is second to none. Lovely holiday spent with lovely people.

Just got back from a lovely holiday in Benitses, Roula accomodation was basic but clean, however what the rooms lacked in luxury and space was made a lot more bearable due to the lovely pool area and the care Anne and Spiros take of their guests. I would highly recommend the food cooked on the premises and also a Restaurant called Spiros on the sea front. The apartments are set in a good central location and everybody was friendly and hospitable if you are looking for a relaxing holiday then this will be right up your street, there is a nightlife but if that's what you specifically want then book somewhere in Kavos! Thanks again to Anne and Spiros, hopefully we'll see you again.

Neil H

Anne M           

We would just like to say to our clients of last year and anyone who has booked into the 'Roula' this year that we have just bought the appartment block and swimming pool. We don't have much time to make many improvements this year, but we have made a few changes and intend to keep the place very clean and tidy. We are available to answer any questions which you may have, and do our best to make your holiday an enjoyable time. We look forward to meeting you.
Spiros and Anne ( we ran the pool and bar area last year ).

Due to go in June can anyone tell me if the apartments have improved from previous comments?

Many thanks.
