Beyond the Olive Trees Psarou, Zakynthos

Holiday Rental Description

A vision in white, this contemporary Greek villa seamlessly blends modernity with tradition to create a home that's just a little bit luxurious. With a striking geometric exterior, softened by olive trees and a walled garden, you'll have your own oasis in the authentic corner of Zakynthos. Boasting a glass-fronted terrace that showcases spectacular views over the ocean, spend peaceful mornings sipping coffee in the swinging egg chair and connecting with your surroundings. A dip in the private pool is also highly recommended if you want to head out for the day feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Just beyond the olive groves (which the owner's family still tends to), some beautiful beaches are within walking distance. Psarou is known for aquamarine waters and fine golden sand, and this is exactly what you can expect within easy distance of the villa. Spend a few hours sunbathing, swimming or simply watching the impressive yachts sail by – nothing beats an afternoon on the Zakynthos coast.

When you return home, fire up the barbecue and cook some fresh local seafood for a dinner that will likely stay in your memory for a while. The patio provides a dining table and the shade of a pergola, meaning you can enjoy alfresco meals in comfort as often as you like. If you've got some time to kill, grab a book and lie back on a sun lounger, or share a few drinks on the terrace before heading out to one of the local tavernas for the evening.
