Villa Asteri

Villa Asteri is a luxury Tuscan-style villa in northeast Zakynthos. This family-friendly villa has fantastic facilities inside and out, including a playroom and private swimming pool. Situated in a peaceful lemon and olive grove, it has stunning views over the Ionian Sea, and is just a short drive from the port of Agios Nikolaos.

Arriving at Zakynthos International Airport, it’s a 50 minute drive to Villa Asteri, in the north-eastern tip of the island. At the villa, guests will bask in the tranquillity and unspoilt natural beauty of the area, taking in the views across the sea to Kephalonia. The charming harbour of Agios Nikolaos is just an eight-minute drive from the villa, with a selection of seafront cafes and tavernas, plus a sandy beach with watersports activities. Agios Nikolaos is also the gateway to two of the island’s most spectacular attractions. Take the short boat trip to Shipwreck Beach and you’ll discover a breath-taking bay of turquoise water, white sand and dramatic cliffs. You can also reach the surreal Blue Caves by boat, a series of limestone arches where the reflections turn the sea into the most extraordinary colours.

Villa Asteri is a traditional stone house surrounded by three acres of landscaped gardens. This wonderfully spacious property can accommodate up to 14 guests. There are five air-conditioned, en suite bedrooms in the house, plus a separate apartment with twin beds, a double sofa bed and its own kitchen and living area. In the house, the large living room has three sofas positioned around a beautiful French-style fireplace, with doors opening out onto the terrace. There’s also a family room next to the open-plan kitchen and a downstairs playroom. This is the ultimate private den for kids and teenagers, kitted out with a table tennis table and a 50" flat screen TV with Sky, DVD player, and a Wii. Villa Asteri has also been designed for outdoor living, with everything guests of all ages could need to make the most of the beautiful Greek weather. A large, covered terrace has an outdoor living room with an open fire and a marble dining table seating 14 guests, plus an outdoor music system. Whoever’s preparing lunch or dinner needn’t miss out; on the terrace there’s an American-style BBQ, pizza oven and bar area with a fridge. In the gardens, a 13.5m mosaic-tiled pool awaits, surrounded by comfortable sun loungers and huge parasols. There’s even a heated jacuzzi with spectacular sea views.
