Hi, I travel abroad a lot, always independently and I always, book my flights first and then the accommodation. If you are thinking of going back to Arillas (even though you have not been there yet lol) then why not check out all the accommodation you like the look of whilst you are there this trip? They are more than happy to show you their rooms and facilities for a possible future booking and give you their website , email or telephone details so you can book direct. Arillas is a relatively small village/resort so you don't need to worry about being close to the sea as 90% of the accommodation is just a short walk to the sea in any case. Also, Corfu, is at times, very windy so being a little way back from the front offers some protection should it get squally!
