Vafias Villa - Tranquil Location, Ideal for Large Groups, by ZanteWize

The property is beautiful and it is just as it looks in photos. Inside and outside everything was just right for our group of 3 families with young kids. The location is great. Very close to Koulka beach, and not far from Keri beach and everything else we needed is a pretty easy drive. It’s worth driving further to some of the beaches on other parts of the island as well. The kitchen and grill at the house are well arranged so we could cook a few nights. It was very hot every day and the AC worked great! A huge plus! The host, Anna, is absolutely a gem. She brought us fresh eggs, tomatoes, wine, and freshened up our towels and laundry every day. She was available when we had questions, very responsive and fast. She even showed the kids some of her animals - bunnies and chickens and goats. She gave great local recommendations as well. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Nothing negative at all.

Anna was absolutely awesome throughout our stay. She really couldn’t have been any more helpful! Amazing… thank you

The villa can fit a large number of people and has a beautiful pool area and view from the upstairs bedrooms. The two upstairs bedrooms are nice. The owner Anna was willing to help with any questions or concerns. She let us have a late check out which was appreciated. You can walk to some nice restaurants from the villa (wouldn’t recommend at night as there is no light on the streets). Taxi rides everywhere were 30 euros which for our group was fine.

The villa itself is much more rustic than in the photos. The rooms in the downstairs section feel a bit like an after thought and have no views. One “room” is just a bed in the living room with curtains around it so in the end we shared more beds than expected. Two rooms downstairs have fabric around them as a wall so you can hear a lot if you are a light sleeper. The bathrooms aren’t ideal given many need to be shared. Two of the bathrooms that were shared had hand held shower heads only. While the owner Anna could be very helpful, she was in the villa a lot during our stay whereas we would’ve preferred more privacy. Overall the villa as a whole looks a bit different from the photos online. A good thing to note for the outside area is that there are a lot of mosquitoes which makes sitting outside or having doors or windows without screens to open difficult. Anna gave us some mosquito coils to light which was helpful.

We hebben een geweldig verblijf gehad. De villa is in keurige staat, en is van alle gemakken voorzien. De gastvrouw, Anna, is ronduit geweldig. Zonder erom te vragen, ruimt ze het huis op, maakt ze schoon en vervult ze waar mogelijk speciale verzoeken. Eigenlijk is Anna te goed voor deze wereld. Vafias Villa is zeker een aanrader als je met een grote groep naar Zakynthos gaat. De airco in elk slaapvertrek is ook erg fijn.
