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.
