About the home

Helena is a luxurious 5 bedroomed villa standing in 2 acres of private grounds, nestling amongst olive groves offering a very private location. She has stunning views over the countryside to the Ionian sea with the island of Zakynythos in the distance. She is however within walking distance of the small village of Klismata ,and a 5 minute drive to the blue flag beach of Avithos. She has a small local beach within walking distance for the enthusiasts only! She also benefits from a local taverna 200 metres walk from the villa. Helena is the ideal villa for a family or group of friends as she benefits from a full size tennis court, 80 square metre pool,and bbq area with summer kitchen. All our guests enjoying the beautiful peaceful views while dining alfresco on a warm summers evening with only the sheep bells to disturb them.

Within the villa all bedrooms are en-suite and 3 of the 5 bedrooms have balconies with sea and mountain views. We have one upstairs bedroom without a balcony for the safety of small children.The villa has been designed for a family holiday with children in mind. The villa is not isolated,but in an ideal location to explore this naturally diverse island. The busier tourist resort of Lassi is a 10 minute drive away, the capital of the island a further 5 minutes on from Lassi. The airport is 10-12 minutes from the villa. The nearest mini market is a 3 minute walk along the lane in front of the villa.
