Zefiros Apartments

Whilst other parts of Corfu are a little tatty and troubled with waste issues Gouvia and, in particular, the Zefiros apartments are excellent. Spacious,clean and airy rooms are set in beautiful grounds with views of a spectacular marina. Costas, the proprietor, is everything a host should be. His frappes are amazing and the drinks, ice cream and food are great value. Corfu isn't my favourite island but Zefiros apartments are definitely my favourite place to stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-week family holiday staying at the Zefiros Apartments. They are in a great situation, just around the corner from the Marina, up the road one way to Kontokali, and a few minutes up the road the other way to Gouvia. Food was really tasty and fresh. We enjoyed days around the pool with the gorgeous white wine (with crisps, why not?!) and the cocktails were amazing. For days out, the bus stop for the blue buses to Corfu town and beyond (tip: there is a 5euro day trip ticket for trips to the Achilleon, Kanoni, Mon Repos, etc available, but if you are going into Corfu town it is only 1.80 each way) and the green buses further afield are just around the corner by the front of Spiti Pfriti . The family who run Zefiros are so friendly. Really lovely people, who work really hard but with a smile. There is a bookcase by the pool to swap your travel reading. We stayed in studios. They studios were basic but well equipped, with a good-size balcony. Good-size wardrobe with hangers and drawers. It was very hot so we enjoyed the air conditioning at extra cost. We found many people, like us, liked to sit out at the front of the studios, facing the marina for an ouzo or two in the evening. There are games to borrow for hot afternoons or to keep the teenagers occupied in the bar area. As it is a small and friendly place, as advertised!, we were unable to keep either of the studios on the last day, however, the showers at the marina are a very short walk away.

Well what can I say that hasn’t been said all the other reviews touch on what else there is to do in and around gouvia The zefiros apartments are fantastic some say basic I thought typically Greek just what you want the vibe and atmosphere are chilled friendly and relaxed and so seem the guests it’s perfect for chilling chatting and relaxing by the perfect sized pool the food the family knock out is great and honestly priced the bar by the pool is just right the beer is served very cold the wines are crisp and chilled cocktails superb but what makes this place is the close Greek family who run it nothing is too much trouble you arrive as guests leave as friends thank you costas spiros yannis and the rest of the staff thoroughly enjoyed our stay
