Surrounded by the Ionian Sea, you're not exactly short of places to go swimming in Zakynthos, but a villa with a private pool is just too good an opportunity to pass — especially when it's among such beautiful surroundings as this. Overlooked by a rocky hill, we can envision many an afternoon of splashing about in its refreshing waters, drying off naturally on one of the loungers and repeating ad infinitum. When you want a break from the heat, retire to the covered balcony or sprawl out on the living room sofa and enjoy the breeze coming in from the open French door. It's very easy to do nothing but watch the days go by at a satisfyingly slow pace, but if you want a reminder of what the outside world looks like at any point, the seaside resorts of Alikes and Alikanas can be reached by car in under ten minutes. *Cots can be provided by the host if necessary *The villa is located next to a road and you will be able to hear some tr...

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.

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 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...
