Villa Blue Grass | 2-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Planos

Tsilivi’s northeastern coastline reveals a collection of three villas set within four acres of landscaped grounds, and Villa Blue Grass commands particular attention for couples and small families seeking a luxury villa rental in Zakynthos. The property sits elevated above the Bay of Tsilivi, delivering uninterrupted views across the Ionian Sea while remaining just 9km from Zakynthos Airport—close enough for convenience, far enough to feel genuinely removed from the bustle of the island’s main towns.

Inside Villa Blue Grass

Villa Blue Grass sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with accommodation structured across two floors to maximise privacy and views. The ground floor opens into a fully equipped kitchen—the kind of space where casual cooks suddenly develop ambition, thanks to quality appliances including a Nespresso machine and comprehensive cookware. Adjacent, the dining area and living room form one flowing social hub lined with cool marble underfoot and contemporary artwork punctuating cream walls. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors dissolve the boundary between interior and garden, framing pool and terrace views from the moment you step inside.

The ground floor bedroom features twin beds (convertible to a king configuration) positioned to capture garden and pool vistas. A nearby shower room serves this bedroom with full facilities and luxury toiletries. Ascending the staircase, the master suite occupies the first floor with a properly sized king bed, a day bed suitable for an additional child, a working desk, and an ensuite bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub separated by glass screening. This bedroom opens onto a substantial private terrace furnished with a round sofa and canopy—the kind of outdoor extension where sunrise coffee and sunset drinks both feel equally essential.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The private pool dominates the garden landscape, fitted with hydromassage jets and heated year-round. Pool loungers cluster around the water’s edge, while an outdoor sofa and dining furniture occupy shaded zones beneath mature trees. Medicinal and aromatic plantings line winding pathways that lead directly to the beach—this isn’t a five-minute walk, but rather a genuine garden-to-sand transition that collapses the distance between poolside and shoreline. The Eleftheria Spa operates within the estate grounds, offering hydrotherapy treatments, massage, and aerotherapy sessions either in dedicated spa rooms or arranged privately within your villa on request.

Gardens showcase ornamental grasses, flowering shrubs, and specimen trees creating intimate outdoor rooms. The terrace catches south-facing light during afternoon hours, while the master bedroom’s private veranda captures sea breezes and the visual rhythm of distant horizon. Sunset from this elevation transforms the Ionian into copper and gold.

Location: Tsilivi and the Wider Zakynthos Region

Tsilivi occupies Zakynthos’ northeast shoreline, positioned as the island’s primary resort destination alongside Laganas and Kalamaki. The village itself operates as a functional hub with tavernas, restaurants, and bars serving both tourists and locals, though it reads as busier than sleepy—expect evening crowds rather than isolation. Tsilivi Beach stretches generously with organised sun loungers, parasol rentals, and water sports facilities including jet skis, paragliding, and paddleboard hire.

Zakynthos Airport sits precisely 9km south, requiring approximately 15 minutes by road to reach the villa. This proximity transforms the arrival experience—collect your rental car and settle into the property within half an hour of touchdown. The island measures roughly 40km north to south, making most destinations accessible within 20-40 minutes of driving.

Laganas Beach, 8km southwest, offers a 5km stretch of fine sand and shallow water particularly suitable for families with young children. The Caretta turtle conservation programme operates here; boat trips depart regularly to observe these protected creatures in their natural habitat around Marathonisi Island. The National Marine Park designation protects nesting grounds at Gerakas, Dafni, Kalamaki, and Sakania during breeding seasons (typically May through August).

The famous Blue Caves occupy the northwestern coast near Agios Nikolaos, roughly 35km from Tsilivi. These sea caves command geological significance and rank among Greece’s most photographed natural formations. Frequent boat tours operate from Tsilivi’s harbour and from the village of Volimes. The Shipwreck site at St George’s Bay—a 1980s-era vessel now a major tourist attraction—lies approximately 25km northwest and requires a boat tour to access safely.

Zakynthos Town, the island’s capital, occupies the southern coast around 20km away. Solomos Square forms the historic heart, ringed by restaurants, the Byzantine Museum, and the Cultural Center. Bochali village sits 2km uphill, its narrow alleys and traditional kafeneio culture offering an authentic village experience alongside panoramic harbour views. The medieval castle crowning the hilltop remains well-maintained and provides 360-degree island perspectives. Solomos Wines distillery welcomes visitors to explore cellars and taste local Verdea wines—the island’s signature varietal—alongside regional Prentza cheese specialities.

Agios Sostis, 12km south, presents a quieter alternative to main resort zones. This charming coastal village clusters around a 16th-century church, with waterfront tavernas offering grilled fish and traditional meze. Boat hire operates from here to Marathonisi Island, home to loggerhead turtles and sandy beaches accessible only by water.

For hiking and cycling enthusiasts, mountain villages in the interior—including Volimes, Orthonies, and Lagopodo—reward exploration with old footpaths, monasteries, and medieval towers. These settlements sit 800-1000 metres elevation, offering respite from coastal heat during July and August.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Two couples sharing a villa holiday find Villa Blue Grass particularly well-suited—two independent bedrooms with separate bathrooms eliminate morning bathroom queues, while shared kitchen and pool facilities create natural gathering points. The property accommodates small families with children up to approximately age 8-10 (the day bed in the master suite accepts one additional child), though families with teenagers may find the 2-bedroom constraint limiting.

Multi-generational groups where grandparents travel with adult children and young grandchildren benefit from the ground-floor bedroom’s direct pool and garden access, minimising stair navigation while maintaining separate sleeping quarters. Couples seeking a private romantic retreat without children will discover the pool terrace and master suite veranda particularly appealing.

The villa poorly suits guests requiring wheelchair accessibility throughout, though the property contains some ground-floor living space and accessible pathways. Guests with mobility limitations should contact Excellence Luxury Villas directly to assess suitability.
