Looking out across well-established olive groves, Theofania is a brand new two bedroom villa made up of two studios. Being located so close to Gouvia (1.1km), the beach (1.2km), and one of the largest marinas in Greece (1.7km), this property is an ideal choice for a family with older children, or two couples, wanting to be close to the coast and all amenities.

Gouvia is a sheltered bay, once home to a Venetian naval base. Now it is a pretty village which exudes traditional Greek charm, with narrow streets filled with quaint cafes and tavernas. The marina is one of the most modern marinas in Greece, its wonderful fish restaurants, as well as other establishments offering international cuisine, a cricket pitch and even a croquet field, attracts a jet-setting crowd.

Theofania is split across two levels and each level has its own independent access allowing guests to holiday together whilst maintaining a level of privacy. Steps lead up from the parking area to the ground floor accommodation, a light and airy space which enjoys direct access to the partly covered pool terrace.  The lower ground level, accessed externally via patio doors, also has an open plan contemporary design.

Gouvia, along with its smart marina, offering of watersports and proximity to so many of Corfu's sights, is a prime all year round destination for guests seeking both relaxation and adventure. The island’s capital, Corfu Town can be reached in around 20 minutes by car. Here you will find picturesque streets, colourful buildings, boutique shopping and vibrant squares. Notable landmarks include the Old Fortress, the elegant Liston promenade and the bustling Spianada Square.

  • Both bedrooms can be prepared as a double or twin, please specify at time of booking.

Great Things to Do Near Theofania

Play a round of golf

You'll find the island's 18-hole golf course close to Ermones on the Ropa Valley (west of Corfu Town). This excellent course (one of only half a dozen in all of Greece!) was created by the British during their time of occupation.

Theotoki winery estate

Why not take a trip to this famous wine making estate on Corfu, for some wine tasting and a tour to see the process from the vine to the bottle. 

The Big Red Bus

Drive down to Corfu Town and pick up the Big Red Bus from the port. This relatively new service is an open-topped, 'Hop On / Hop Off' bus that takes you on a guided tour all around Corfu Town and the outlying areas. It’s a great way to see and hear about the Town's history and highlights.

The Canal d'Amour of Sidari

The name Canal d’Amour (channel of love) comes from an ancient legend that says if two persons swim here together they will fall in love. The rocks that compose the Canal d’Amour have been carved by the sea and wind over many centuries. Nature’s great masterpiece has the look of a lunar landscape, somewhat unique in the Mediterranean Sea. There is also a small beach here (arrive early to secure a spot).

Sail over to Paxos

Paxos is a tiny unspoilt idyllic island, full of olive trees and oozing with charm. There are just three coastal villages with Gaios being the most well-known. Well worth a day's visit.

A fun day out at Aqualand

Corfu Aqualand, near to the village of Agios Ioannis, is one of the largest water parks in Europe and features 51 slides, several pools, a lazy river and a wide variety of other water attractions. There's something for all ages here and it is a great way to keep the whole family entertained.

Visit the Achilleion Palace

One of the most famous royal mansions in Europe, some consider the Achilleion Palace to be the most important architectural landmark in Corfu. Built in 1890, entirely at the expense of the Empress Elisabeth of Austria (also known as Sisi), the palace acted as a quiet retreat for this controversial historical figure. You can stroll through the lovely gardens dedicated to her hero Achilles or simply enjoy the stunning architecture.

Cape Drastis

Head up to the northernmost point of the island to discover the unique natural landscape and tranquility of Cape Drastis. These weirdly shaped cliffs with tiny sea caves and peculiar rock formations also have a few sandy strips in between them. When climate conditions allow you can visit by boat, however, you can also go by car and see it from above. Be aware that the winds can blow quite strongly here and it is therefore not recommended for young children.

Sail on a glass bottom boat

Leaving Paleokastritsa daily over the main season, you'll see amazing undersea wonders, visit incredible caves close to Ermones that can only be accessed from the water, and enjoy an afternoon on Paradise Beach - a huge expanse of white sand/shingle beach and aquamarine sea also only accessible by boat.

Go diving

There are dive clubs to the north of Gouvia, on the main road heading north, which offer scuba and snorkelling excursions.

Stroll around Gouvia Marina

A recently upgraded marina with 104 berths and an array of amenities. Admire the yachts and enjoy an eclectic mix of eateries and shops.

Visit the Venetian Arsenal

An interesting landmark and impressive piece of engineering located between the beach at Gouvia and the marina. This is the place where Serbian soldiers debarked during the First World War.

Horse riding in the hills

Visit the local stables in the foothills of the Pantokrator Mountains and enjoy a countryside trek riding through olive trees and woodland.
