Villa Kapella is an ideal choice for those seeking tranquil summer getaways away from the over-tourism of Corfu’s famous areas, as well as active days by the sea and in the surrounding nature. Its unique location offers guests the opportunity to enjoy some of the best-hidden secrets of the Corfiot countryside and discover hidden gems just a breath away from Villa Kapella.
One of the most special spots, known even to few Corfiots, is the small chapel of Saint George, located at the top of the mountain of the same name, right above the village of Vatos. Built in the 13th century at an altitude of approximately 340 meters, it invites visitors, especially hiking and mountaineering enthusiasts, to explore the mountain and get to know the Corfiot nature up close. The chapel of Saint George is a humble building that reminds visitors of the deep religious faith of the Corfiots. Just below the mountain, next to the Ionian Sea coast, lies another paradisiacal place: the Holy Monastery of Myrtiotissa, a monastery with significant history dating back many centuries.
For sea lovers, Ermones Beach is a destination that all Villa Kapella guests should visit. Just a few meters from the villa, it is characterized by its golden sandy beach and turquoise calm waters. Located between two hills, it creates a unique setting that enchants both locals and visitors. From Ermones and its paradisiacal beach, one can take a boat tour to nearby beaches, known for their heavenly waters and impressive views, combining the sea with towering cliffs hundreds of meters high.
Beyond nature activities, Villa Kapella guests can enjoy perhaps the island’s most unique activity: golf. Offered by the Corfu Golf Club, it invites all visitors who want to experience a new sport and enjoy carefree moments with friends or family. If you choose Villa Kapella as your destination, you should not miss visiting a historic site with decades of history.
Next to the Corfu Golf Club is another specially designed area offering all visitors a comprehensive view of Corfiot culture, gastronomy, and products. Known as Theotoky Estate, it offers a range of experiences every visitor should have from wine tasting and vineyard tours to exploring the library and studying the Theotoky family history that dates back many centuries.
Villa Kapella emerges not just as a place to stay in Corfu but as a comprehensive experience for those seeking tranquility, authenticity, and alternative forms of tourism. In an era where mass tourism has altered the character of many destinations, this accommodation offers an opportunity to return to a more meaningful and experiential way of vacationing. Its strategic location, away from bustling tourist centers, in a natural landscape rich in history, religious tradition, and culture, makes Villa Kapella an ideal choice for the modern traveler who wants to experience Corfu beyond the ordinary.
Overall, Villa Kapella offers an authentic and multi-layered hospitality experience. It is not just an accommodation but a hub of exploration, culture, and relaxation. Combining comfort with tradition, nature with history, and tranquility with activity, it invites every visitor to reconnect with themselves and the essence of the place. Through a stay at Villa Kapella, the traveler not only gets to know an island but also discovers another version of themselves more serene, more conscious, and more authentic.
