Located just 1km from the traditional village of Agios Nikolaos, this home – which offers a private plunge pool and great panoramic views of the Ionian Sea from the upper floor – is ideally situated for travellers who wish to combine relaxation and explore the vivid nightlife of the island. Begin each day with a leisurely breakfast in a shaded spot in the courtyard before you head out for the day. A sandy beach is reachable in just 500m or travel further afield and visit the world-famous shipwreck beach. This home even provides bicycles, if you would rather roam the area on two wheels. If you looking for a quieter day, why not stay home and lounge in the Greek sunshine before cooling off in the waters of the plunge pool with its waterfall effect cascading upon you? Then, in the evening, try your hand at cooking delicious Greek cuisine. Fire up the barbecue for souvlaki skewers, and dine alfresco on the patio. We would lov...
Just a short walk from the pretty village of Keri Lake, famous for its stunning nearby sea caves and the turtles that nest on its beach, this new, stone-built villa is the perfect combination of modern luxury and a green, natural setting. Overlooking the sea and set in beautiful grounds with mature trees, lawns and terraces, it's the ideal space if you're looking to stay in this quiet part of the island. Inside, it's spacious and cool, with natural tones, tiled floors and vaulted ceilings. The open-plan living area has comfy sofas, an extremely well kitted out kitchen and a dining space, with huge sliding doors that open it right up to the incredible pool terrace. Here you can swim in the crystal-clear infinity pool with uninterrupted views of the sea and the rocky islands offshore. But while the pool is this home's star attraction, it's far from the only thing we love about it. There's a hot tub to relax in and a children...
Perched on top of a cliff at the northern tip of Zakynthos, this villa has the sort of view that has the power to bring about a reverent silence as you try to take it all in — from here, you can see Kefalonia, the Peloponesse shoreline and a vast expanse of sparkling Ionian Sea. Thankfully, this home makes it pleasingly easy to admire this landscape. Slipping into the infinity pool with a built-in hydromassage area is one way of doing just that, but the surroundings are no less awe-inspiring from the home's terrace or alfresco dining area. The home itself has been built in the traditional Zakythinian style, with stone walls, wooden ceiling beams and a fireplace in the living room. The galley kitchen has enough space to whip up a Mediterranean banquet, too. One of the major perks that we should probably mention is that there's direct access to the sea via a stone path and you can borrow kayaks or snorkelling and fish...
Perched proudly on the green slopes of North Zakynthos, this cliffside villa offers a peaceful location and breathtaking views to rival Mount Olympus itself. We love the charming, stone-clad exterior, complemented inside by modern furnishings, a neutral colour palette and exposed timber beams. With four bedrooms, three bathrooms and ample communal areas, there's enough space here to accommodate up to ten guests. The real show stopper, though, is the home's outdoor space. From the lounge, take your morning coffee out onto the covered veranda and gaze in awe at the sweeping vistas across the sea. It's especially striking from the sparkling waters of the infinity pool, where you'll no doubt spend hours trying to decide where the tide ends and the horizon begins. There's also a ping pong table, outdoor barbecue, gym and sauna, as well as snorkelling, fishing and mountain biking equipment available free of charge. With the fam...

On the ground floor, you'll find an impressive open-plan space with sky-high ceilings and a mezzanine level above.

You'll find a couple of en-suite bedrooms on this floor, each capable of accommodating up to five guests. Upstairs, there are a further two en-suite bedrooms with space for a further four guests in each, bringing the total guest count up to eighteen. Summer in the Greek islands is lived outdoors. At this particular villa, you're well catered for when it comes t...
Located on the lush green island of Zakynthos – and with direct access to the sea – this unique villa is a great choice for a family getaway or holiday with friends. The home has been decorated in neutral tones and is spread across two levels with no lift access – so may not be suitable for individuals with reduced mobility.

Slip effortlessly into island living with a stay at this stunning villa. Located in Zakynthos, this hilltop home offers fabulous views, excellent amenities, and plenty of style – it's impossible not to love it.

Located on the edge of Psarou Beach and surrounded by the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, this villa is a dreamy place to call home. Mornings here start with a cup of coffee on the balcony – admiring the views, of course – while afternoons are best spent splashing in the infinity pool, lounging under the blue skies and swimming in the sea at the edge of the garden. When evening falls, prepare souvlaki and other Greek dishes on the barbecue, pour yourself a glass of ouzo and tuck in as the sun slowly sinks below the horizon and the stars begin to appear. Although we could spend all day gazing out at the rolling waves, we also love the traditional design inside. The living area's exposed stone walls, wooden ceilings and arched doorway ooze Greecian charm – there's no cosier spot to unwind after a long day at the beach. Besides being a few steps from Psarou Beach – about ten, to be exact – there's plenty more to excite you in th...
Perched on the cliffs of Kefalonia, this traditional stone house is subject to some of the most beautiful views of the Ionian sea. And with stone steps leading down to a coastal path and a beach around 100m from your door, you can see why this villa caught our eye. Though keeping with tradition might mean that some of the decor feels a little dated – something that might not appeal to everyone – the terrace with a private pool, wood-fired oven, old well, and telescope puts most of the focus outside. Plus, there's an additional guest house with a kitchenette and living room that's perfect for guests who need extra privacy. *The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times. *As there are stairs to climb here, it might not be suitable for those with reduced mobility. *The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts. *If y...
This seafront villa, located in northern Zakynthos, is perfect for those looking to unwind while enjoying views of Kefalonia. It was the outside space that caught our attention – we loved the infinity pool with a hydro-massage spot, dining terrace, and of course, the direct access to the beach. Relaxation continues inside, thanks to the steam room. Plus, flexible sleeping arrangements make this place ideal for any group travelling together. If you’re keen to explore, shops and restaurants are around 2.5 kilometres away *Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Parking and a helipad are available on the premises. *The swimming pool (open from June to September) isn't fenced.

A vision in white, this contemporary Greek villa seamlessly blends modernity with tradition to create a home that's just a little bit luxurious. With a striking geometric exterior, softened by olive trees and a walled garden, you'll have your own oasis in the authentic corner of Zakynthos. Boasting a glass-fronted terrace that showcases spectacular views over the ocean, spend peaceful mornings sipping coffee in the swinging egg chair and connecting with your surroundings. A dip in the private pool is also highly recommended if you want to head out for the day feeling refreshed and invigorated. Just beyond the olive groves (which the owner's family still tends to), some beautiful beaches are within walking distance. Psarou is known for aquamarine waters and fine golden sand, and this is exactly what you can expect within easy distance of the villa.

Inside the home, exposed stone walls and timber beams create a cool yet cosy atmosphere.

As the catch of the day grills on the barbecue, make yourself comfortable in the hanging wicker chair and sway with the gentle Ionian breeze. And when it’s time to feast, come together with your loved ones on the shaded terrace.

Or simply relax in this luxury villa, intertwined with the natural environment. The architecture manages to delicately balance a striking example of construction, with limited impact on its surroundings. Exterior spaces flow around the coastal, hilltop setting, where natural stone walls frame a vast terrace and chunky timber beams create a pagoda. The private pool sits in an alcove between the interior and the exterior, while beanbags and dining sets line the foreground. We love the way the glass sliding doors merge the indoors and outdoor areas, with minimalist and modern furniture allowing the sea view to be the main attraction. Ston...

Located near the village of Galaro, at the heart of Zakynthos, you’ll be perfectly placed to explore the island.

It’s worth noting that at full occupancy five guests will be sleeping on sofa beds, some of which are located in bedrooms where other guests will also be sleeping, so this layout might not work for everyone. *While two of the bedrooms aren't photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance. The swimming ...
Positioned in the hills above the famous Blue Caves, this Zakynthos villa is equal parts traditional and contemporary. High, vaulted ceilings inside are trimmed with timber beams and exposed stone surround wooden windows. It's charming, yet the open layout is as modern as it gets. The whole place was designed with adaptability in mind, so you'll find wide doorways, step-free showers and roomy living areas offering plenty of space to spread out.

Enjoying a lofty position above the smooth pebbles and emerald waters of Climati beach, this golden stone-clad villa is perfectly placed for a relaxing time in Zakynthos. The design is decidedly Provence-inspired (think olive green window shutters and wrought iron balconies), and this is echoed in the pretty French interiors. The many balconies and terraces, however, are entirely Ionian and offer spectacular views over the rugged Zakynthos coastline and across the blue ocean to Kefalonia. Wake up to the Greek sunshine and pick a spot to sip your morning coffee whilst admiring the scenery around you. The outdoor space doesn't stop there, either. The swimming pool is framed with pretty Mediterranean plants, providing a gorgeous scent on the warm evening breeze.

Located at the top of a hill, this newly built stone villa is on well-kept grounds where you can spend relaxing moments all to yourself. Take a walk in the scenic olive groves and swim in the infinity pool whilst looking out to a magnificent view of the Ionian Sea and the isle of Marathonisi. Exclusive style and traditional Zakynthian architecture may make it challenging for you to leave your comfortable and idyllic surroundings to discover all the island of Zakynthos has to offer. Drive five minutes to Keri Beach, also known as Keri Lake, and rent a pedalo to drift along the blue waters before returning to the coast to rest on the loungers or swim in the turquoise sea. Keri Lighthouse is a bit further away, situated on the edge of a rocky cliff around 300 metres above sea level. The Myzithres, two white towering rocks coming from the sea named after the cheese Myzithra owing to their form resembling this cheese, can be seen her...
One of a collection of recently built villas on the outskirts of Zakynthos Town, this is contemporary Greek living at its finest. With huge windows and glass doors running along the walls, the home is spoilt when it comes to natural light and this plentiful asset is only accentuated more by the cleansingly white walls, floors and ceilings. Save for some Scandi-inspired wood surfaces, most of the furnishings are similarly muted in colour, which makes for an instantly relaxing atmosphere. If things get a little too sedate, however, all you have to do is head out into the outdoor space and splash about in the swimming pool or light up the barbecue ahead of an alfresco banquet. When the sun starts to set, head up to one of the balconies to watch the sky change colour over the Ionian Sea. When the coastal panorama proves too tempting, you can walk down to Akrotiri Beach in less than a quarter of an hour. The restaurants ...
