Description Good Lookin': Zakinthos

With its oatmeal tones, lightweight linens, a perfectly positioned hot tub and a swimming pool surrounded by olive trees, this rustic villa is ideal for a family or group of friends looking to kick back and seriously relax.

Inside the home, exposed stone walls and timber beams create a cool yet cosy atmosphere. Steal a moment for yourself with a cup of coffee on the soft sofa before heading into the garden to pick produce from the vegetable patch in preparation for lunch.

As the catch of the day grills on the barbecue, make yourself comfortable in the hanging wicker chair and sway with the gentle Ionian breeze. And when it’s time to feast, come together with your loved ones on the shaded terrace.

Spend the late afternoon lounging on the beach just 300 metres from your door or take the twenty-minute drive to Zakynthos Town for its Byzantine Museum and traditional tavernas tucked down quaint cobbled streets.
