What better base in the ancient-ruin-filled peninsula of the Peloponnese than a neo-classic villa that radiates Grecian charm. This place was originally built in 1893 and is set in over 35,000 square metres of manicured grounds like a lavish country escape fit for nobility. The Mediterranean gardens are filled with blooming flowers, fragrant jasmine and wisteria, and you can help yourself to the vegetables, strawberries, peaches and apricots ripening in the sun. Outdoor lounges come swathed with white curtains, loungers are shaded by ancient olive trees and there’s a tennis court/basketball court and swimming pool for those that like to keep active. Underground changing rooms provide a bit of privacy. Perhaps head up to the rooftop terrace – a real sun-trap during the day. There’s a sense of luxurious nostalgia inside. Intricately carved armchairs reminiscent of medieval thrones sit in front of a brick fireplace in the main living room and oil paintings adorn the walls. Should you need to work remotely, there’s a dedicated office room with stacks and stacks of books to choose from too. Bedrooms continue the theme of grandeur with gilded mirrors and wrought-iron bed-frames. In terms of location, the Peloponnese has that distinct Greek Island... feel, and the soft-sanded beach of Agia. Marina, lined with restaurants and bars, is just a five-minute walk away.

About Zakynthos
Cast out in the Ionian Sea, the island of Zakynthos (or Zanti) has a fringe of soft-sanded beach and a rugged interior. Probably the most famous beach on the island is Navagio Beach, aka Shipwreck Cove, where the wreck of a 1980s coaster attracts photographers from far and wide.
