Set on the hillside of the east coast of Zakynthos, this villa offers unparalleled Ionian Sea views and within easy reach of the tavernas, restaurants and boutiques of Zakynthos Town, just a short drive away. The home is sleek and modern, with floor-to-ceiling doors encouraging indoor-outdoor living. The shaded terrace is perfect for al fresco dining, while the private pool is ideal for cooling off during the height of summer. As the sun sets, we can’t think of a better spot to relax than the balcony with a glass of something bubbly. Just a head’s up that at capacity two guests will be on a sofa bed in the study – an arrangement we think is better suited to children.
