A lovely villa with amazing views to Zakynthos Town on one side and Kalamaki bay on the other. Elevated away from the hustle and bustle which was very relaxing. Midnight swims in the illuminated pool and barbeques on the terrace made for a wonderful holiday.

WONDERFUL
By Mandorlo Family
WONDERFUL - we had the most fantastic stay at Villa Elia. The location, the villa, the pool, the location, the peacefulness, the local tavernas's, food, weather, island attractions, friendliness - just perfect. John, the owner, was very lovely, easy and efficient to deal with as were the caretakers of the property in Zakynthos. I highly recommend this beautiful venue for a great family holiday.



Outstanding villa

This was our second time at this villa and it is simply amazing. An unusually large pool, total privacy, everything works, comfortable throughout and astonishing views over the Ionian Sea. One of the very best villas in Greece. John is fantastic to deal with and helped us out in many ways, and locally Maria and Spiro are there to offer advice and assistance at any time. It really is perfect here.

Such a beautiful villa in a quiet and stunning location. Perched above Kalamaki with panoramic sea views on both sides, you could never get tired of such a view!. Large, clean and well maintained pool. The location is great providing a tranquil haven with more bustling resorts only a short drive away. A car is essential to explore the stunning island of Zante. John (the owner) made booking easy and communication smooth. Using the recommended app 'What3Words' we found the villa without any problem. The information pack also uses this to guide you to local supermarkets, restaurants, beaches and places of interest making moving around the island simple, There was a welcome pack in the fridge on arrival with all the essential goods. Spiros and Maria, a lovely couple, met us at the villa to show us around. They help maintain the villa and pool and are on hand should you need them. They also have lots of local knowledge and information to support your stay. A truly fabulous place, we loved every minute and wouldn't hesitate to come back.

A fabulous place to holiday

From start to finish. we had a wonderful time. The villa had amazing views, was homely and well appointed. Nothing was too much trouble and there was a super welcome basket on our late arrival. We loved staying here, being really remote up in the olive groves, but only ten minutes from the port with its shops and restaurants. Head up the other end if the island for total remoteness and hire a little boat to explore up there. Wonderful trip!

We have just returned from Villa Elia and everything was wonderful. John, the owner, was very helpful and understanding, from when we first booked the villa to actually going as travel was rather uncertain due to Covid but it all went very smoothly. He arranged for Spiro to meet us at the airport and he showed us to the villa. He and his wife Maria are lovely and gave us lots of information. There was a nice welcome pack with lots in the fridge on our arrival. The villa is in a great location, secluded and peaceful but just a short drive to some lovely restaurants, supermarkets and beaches. We were a party of 4 adults and 3 children and there was everything we could possibly have wanted in the villa. The views are amazing and the pool is a great size, bigger than average, and Spiro cleaned it every day. We had a brilliant time and were sorry we had to leave.

Our thanks to John, Spiro and Maria.

THE most stunning location.
We have rented many villas in a variety of countries but Villa Elia offered the most beautiful views. The outside space from the front drive with beautiful old olive trees afforded beautiful views over Zakynthos Town and the terrace surrounding the pool gave beautiful views towards Kalamaki and beyond. The pool was an absolute joy and the beautifully planted and large terrace and all the shady areas were all one could ask for. Inside had everything we needed and the air conditioning in the bedroom was very welcome. Villa Elias location is superb for nearby towns plus local restaurants and supermarkets for ‘provisioning’. Spiros and Maria who met us at the airport and showed us to the villa were delightful and helpful with tips and suggestions. The only downside to our week at Villa Elia was that our holiday was too short we’ll be back for much longer next time. Thank you John

We absolutely loved Villa Elia. The villa is spacious, very comfortable, completely private and just as described. The setting is breathtakingly beautiful with stunning views on all sides.

The interior living space is great and lined with a terrific library of books - however, our weather was wonderful so all our time was spent outside where we made very good use of the fantastic huge pool.

Good base from which to visit Zakynthos Town and explore the beautiful island (if you can manage to drag yourselves away from the Villa) and we were particularly delighted to find some excellent wine tastings - most enjoyable Grampsas and Art &amp; Wine. Who knew Zakynthos had such splendid wine!

We were given such a warm welcome by Spiro and his lovely family who guided us to the house and look after the property. They so generously gave us produce from Maria's garden - what a treat! Spiro is on hand if you need him but totally unobtrusive.

John is a great communicator and very helpful during the easy booking process.

I would not hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone and, if we return to Zakynthos in the future, we would definitely choose to stay in Villa Elia again.
