Get away from the every day with a stay at this stunning seaside home. Based on the island of Zante, close to the picturesque town of Agios Nikolaos, you'll be within easy reach of plenty of vibrant bars and gorgeous restaurants when you stay here, while still being in a secluded spot where you can feel truly at peace. You can spend the mornings enjoying a dip in your private outdoor pool while you wait for the sun to rise over the ocean in the distance. Cook up some breakfast sausages and bacon on your barbecue, and tuck in all together around your alfresco dining set. Head to the shared yoga pagoda to do some salutations to the sun. Grab your towel and head to the beach, which you can access directly via the stunning 'Priest's Cave', and enjoy sea-swimming and sunbathing. Inside the home, you'll find exposed beams and brickwork that make the home feel characterful and quaint. We love the country kitchen where you can cook up Greek feasts, and the lovely lounge area complete with original fireplace.

Local guide


About Agios Nikolaos

Tucked away on the Northern coast of Zakynthos, Agios Nikolaos takes its name from the dainty chapel situated above its beach. Popular for its year-round pleasant climate, this tiny village goes into hibernation during wintertime, while being an important harbour during the summer season with daily ferries running to Pessada on Kephalonia. Another much-loved activity by visitors is to take the three-hour round boat trip to the nearby Blue Caves...
