Note: We appreciate we are all living through difficult times right now and COVID-19 has stalled a lot of travel plans. However, we hope the below press release can offer some positive good news stories about how those in the travel industry are taking this in their stride to offer new and creative experiences for their guests.
20th April 2021..// The MarBella Collection is delighted to announce new culinary experiences at the adults-only MarBella Nido Suite Hotel & Villas, situated on Corfu's stunning south-east coast. New for this year, the hotel group has been working hard to enhance their foodie offering with new gastronomic adventures available once the hotel reopens on 14th May 2021. MarBella Nido will be introducing a 'Greek Chefs Abroad Culinary Series' throughout the summer, hosting well-known Greek chefs who are excelling abroad and will showcase their culinary skills at the resort. On top of this, the hotel is launching new cooking classes, expert wine tastings and local 'Dine Out' evenings at nearby tavernas. There will also be to new dining venues this year: a traditional Greek 'Kafeneio' at MarBella Nido and a bohemian style beach-deck at adjacent sister property, MarBella Corfu. All experiences have been designed to provide an authentic flavour to Corfu's destination – all with guests' health and safety in mind. In addition to these new gourmet experiences, MarBella Nido has implemented a comprehensive health and safety plan, which includes offering all guests access to PCR or Rapid testing during their stay.
Nestled into the South-East corner of Corfu in Agios Ioannis Peristeron, the five-star MarBella Nido opened in 2018 and is an adults-only property situated adjacent to its sister, family-friendly hotel MarBella Corfu. MarBella Nido offers a cosy and intimate atmosphere with a blend of Corfiot heritage and stylish comfort. The property echoes Corfu's natural charm, making guests feel relaxed and at home during their stay. Surrounded by lush greenery and the glimmering Ionian Sea, MarBella Nido's holiday provides an idyllic holiday retreat. This spring, the MarBella Collection is also welcoming a brand-new edition to the group's portfolio: MarBella Elix, located near Parga and the brand's first property to open on mainland Greece.
Designed exclusively for adults and an idyllic destination for honeymooners, MarBella Nido offers a sophisticated dining scene with a choice of three atmospheric restaurants and two bars alongside an offering of foodie experiences – both at the hotel and nearby restaurants.
Greek Chefs Abroad: A Culinary Series
MarBella Collection is delighted to be launching its inaugural 'Greek Chefs Abroad: A Culinary Series', a selection of pop-up gourmet events hosted by renowned Greek chefs returning from abroad to work their magic in the hotel kitchens. The series will include a stellar line up of high-end chefs who are well known across Europe. Taking place across all three MarBella hotels and running throughout June to September, guests can look forward to authentic Greek and Mediterranean dishes with an international artistic twist. With the full line-up soon to be announced, one name already confirmed, and a previous winner of MasterChef 2019 is Irini Tzortzoglou. Along with other chefs, Irini will delight guests with mouth-watering dishes, including baked beetroot with Amari mizithra apple and posh cheese saganaki with honey and walnut dressing. The chefs will host book signings, live cooking classes, olive oil tastings and wine pairing evenings - transforming all guests into Greek culinary specialists.
Show Cooking & Wine Pairing Classes
At MarBella Nido, aromatic Greek cuisine and some of the finest wines in Greece are in abundance, making for the perfect culinary adventure. MarBella Nido has launched cooking lessons and demonstration classes led by expertly trained chefs to enrich guests with the flavours, aromas and art of traditional Corfiot and Greek cuisine. Dishes include the Pastitsada, one of Corfu island's signature pasta dishes. Through these classes, guests can learn new skills under the blissful Mediterranean sun that will hopefully stay with them for years to come. Alongside cooking classes, MarBella Nido is taking wine lovers on a journey of discovery with an expert sommelier to teach guests about the history of Greek wines and the perfect pairings. The hotel's signature restaurant, San Giovanni, boasts over 75 different Greek wine labels in its traditional wine cellar. The weekly tasting programme is complimentary and incorporates the secrets of celebrated local vineyards.
Local Dining Discovery Adventures
MarBella Collection is inviting guests on a journey of discovery with a new 'Local Dining Discovery' experience. Those residing at MarBella Nido can venture to nearby local fish Tavernas by car or boat to submerse themselves in local, freshly produced cuisine, loved by the locals. Daily 'Kaiki' sea cruises are also available on a traditional Mediterranean boat. These experiences are complimentary as part of the 'Signature Suites' Programme by MarBella Collection', which has been designed to encourage guests to experience everything Greece has to offer, in and outside of their hotel. The programme offers a multitude of exclusive benefits, providing an authentic and traditional Greek holiday.
New Dining Venues at MarBella Nido & MarBella Corfu
This year, MarBella Nido has introduced a new sitting corner which is situated near the onsite chapel and resembles a typical Greek 'Kafeneio'. This unique venue is ideal for guests looking to unwind with Greek sweet treats and a cup of traditional Greek coffee. MarBella Nido's main restaurant San Giovanni allows panoramic views across the Ionian Sea, offering casual all-day dining in a relaxed atmosphere to indulge in fresh, locally farmed produce. A la carte services will now accompany this offering for breakfast and dinner alongside serving a delicious daily buffet.
Optionally guests can also hop over to MarBella Corfu, the sister hotel to MarBella Nido, to enjoy a stunning feast of fine dining options of Italian, Greek and local cuisines as part of the hotel's 'Dine Around' experience. MarBella Corfu is also opening their new 'Deck Bar & Grill Beach Restaurant' this summer. Replacing the original beach bar, the new Deck Bar & Grill offers laid back boho beach vibe to sit back, relax, listening to the sound of the waves while enjoying a cocktail and trying delicious grilled meats, seafood and vegetables from the chic grill corner.
