Villa Navagio Greece
Holiday Home Rental Description
Villa Navigio is elegant, sprawling and natural and boasts a magnificent, majestic position on the cliff overlooking the stunning, deep blue waters towards Kefalonia. With 4 beautiful bedrooms including a separate, gorgeous guesthouse, the villa is ideal for up to 9 guests. This northern part of Zakynthos is beautiful and tranquil. The villa is 2.5km from the small port of Agios Nikolaos in private land of over 40000 sqm above the island’s famous blue caves. It is truly idyllic.
The villa was built according to the architectural Zakynthian tradition with natural stone which oozes a warm ambience. It is beautifully decorated and furnished, mostly in traditional style with comfort in mind. It is definitely an interesting design with nooks and crannies and plenty of choice where to sit and relax.
The lovely guesthouse has a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom as well as an extra single bed off to one side.The guesthouse is self-contained with its own entrance, small open kitchen and of course television, hi-fi and air conditioning. This would be ideal for a small family with a child or grandparents if you are a family group. The guesthouse overlooks the beautiful sea, pool and Kefalonia in the distance.
The outdoor space is on various levels with a fabulous infinity swimming pool and hydro-massage. Sun loungers surround the pool. The views are to die for and the garden area is interesting and pretty. There is an attractive stone built barbecue and oven for alfresco suppers. The villa has direct access to the sea 150m away via a stone path. This villa feels very private and peaceful.
The villa’s main kitchen is somewhat rustic but spacious with an informal dining table. There is plenty of space for the family to share some drinks and chat with the cook! There is also a formal dining area in the living space and outdoor dining on the 80 sqm covered balcony which boasts incredible sea views.
Two of the remaining bedrooms are on the ground floor with gorgeous ensuite bathrooms, stunning views and access to the terrace. All of the bedrooms are atmospheric with the honey stone walls and each has its own special merits. They all have lounge seating so are little havens for the family members. Some have little kitchenettes so it is very easy to make that morning cup of tea! The final bedroom is upstairs and has a lovely sloping ceiling and a beautiful ensuite bathroom. Again the views are spectacular. It is easy to imagine some comforting lie ins in these idyllic rooms!
The delightful Villa Nero is situated on private land of over 40000 sqm just above the famous Blue Caves towards the northern tip of Zakynthos, 2.5km from the small port of Agios Nikolaos. The villa’s breathtaking views are of Vasilikos and Alykes Bay as well as out to the Peloponnese and Kefalonia shores. You can travel by ferry from the Agios Nikolaos port to the beautiful island of Kefalonia in one hour. Small boats also take visitors to Cape Skinari, the northernmost point of the island and the alluring Blue Caves below the villa.
Shipwreck Beach can be reached by boat in roughly 20 minutes from the port. The 256 feet sheer limestone cliffs shelter a silver sanded beach with a wrecked ship imbedded in the sand. It is a huge tourist attraction and is absolutely stunning. It looks gorgeous from the top of the cliffs above. There are viewing points to admire this beautiful place. You need to be aware that some tourist boat trips only allow you half an hour on the beach which may not be as much as you would like so you might want to hire your own boat. You should be armed with snacks and drinks too.
Other popular beaches from this villa are Makris Gialos, Xygia, Alykes, Alykanas and Tsilivis. There are many to choose from and some are very secluded, only being reached by boat. Tragaki has a lovely sandy beach with a wonderful beach restaurant. It is picturesque and much quieter than some of the other beaches. Tsilivi is a lively resort just along the coast from Tragaki with a vast swathe of golden sand. Amboula is secluded and peaceful. The sand and shingle cove of Kato Tragaki or Tsilivi are popular for watersports. Bouka Beach has fine sand as well as a swimming pool and a children’s play area. There is also a working harbour at Bouka where you can enjoy watching the local fishermen hauling in the day’s catch
The charming village of Volimes is not far from the villa, on the way to the Shipwreck Beach. It is very attractive with craft and gift shops. Volimes is famous for its oils, honey, tablecloths, centrepieces and carpets which are handmade during the winter. The countryside in this area is beautiful with lush olive groves and vineyards.
If you are looking for lively clubby entertainment on your holiday you can head to the island’s capital Zante Town or Lagunas on the south coast. You will find many bars, restaurants and nightclubs as well as traditional Greek restaurants where you might enjoy the island’s hobby of smashing plates to the live music!
