Set amidst 1.5 acres of graceful cypresses, wise old olive trees, exotic palms, fragrant pines, colourful blooms and manicured emerald lawns, Ophira is a beautifully appointed villa with pedigree, space aplenty, and an irresistible pool. The serene views over Gouvia Bay and the evocative white chapel of Ypapanti are hypnotic, and the numerous terraces offer the perfect vantage point from which to take in this most Greek of scenes.

From the Guest Book
Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
Ophira is a great villa with great grounds and staff. The pool, the landscaping, the furnishings, the breakfasts and the chef all stood out.
David Lamarque August 2025
Ophira was perfect for our group. Over the fortnight we had between 5 and 12 people staying and it was more than comfortable for those numbers. The pool and BBQ area are excellent and there is plenty of communal space for smaller groups. The bedrooms are classy and a very good size. There is quality everywhere both inside and outside, we didn't want for anything. Breakfast is proving difficult to not miss after leaving and the chef and his waiting staff were absolutely superb. The level of cleaning everyday was exceptional and the staff were perfect hosts. All in all a wonderful holiday in a wonderful villa, 10 / 10.

The entire family had a ball at Ohpira. The experience was elevated because of the exceptional people maintaining the villa. In addition the chef and his serving assistant were absolutely fantastic. They catered for all ages and the children loved all the house staff team. Overall it was a wonderful experience.

Ophira is comfortable and spacious with excellent pool and outdoor BBQ area, suiting our multi-generational family well. Easy access to amenities. Individual aircon units were greatly appreciated and everyone looked forward to the wonderful breakfasts prepared by the chef. All the staff were brilliant. Would we return? Yes, we know it worked for us. Thank you to everyone.

The Area
Ophira is situated on the exclusive Kommeno promontory, just 11km (a 15min drive or taxi ride) north of Corfu Town, whose Venetian fortifications, UNESCO World Heritage Site old town centre, labyrinth of pretty streets and excellent range of shops, restaurants, bars and nightlife are well worth exploring.
The best beaches nearby are at Spiaggia Bianca and Dassia, both of which are around 5 minutes away, while in terms of tavernas, apart from the one within easy walking distance (600m), there are plenty of options just a short drive away up and down the coast.
For shops, bars and cafés, there is a good selection in and around Gouvia just across the bay, and there is a boat hire provider within a few minutes' stroll from Ophira.
Heading to the northeast of Corfu are the delightful little bays, beaches and villages of Agni, Kalami, Agios Stefanos and Avlaki, and the bustling little harbour town of Kassiopi.
If you're travelling with kids, there are plenty of stimulating activities and attractions for children within easy reach.
