Yerakina is a traditionally built villa designed to fit into the local landscape with top-of-the-range facilities and five ensuite double bedrooms
Situated high in the hills at the northern end of the island of Zakynthos, Villa Yerakina is located in the Venetian 'Zante' or flower of the Levant. With stunning panoramic views over olive groves and cypress trees, you can look across the aquamarine sea to mainland Greece and Cephalonia. At 1000 ft above sea level, you escape the heat and humidity of the coast below. The coast, with its hidden coves and beaches and variety of excellent tavernas is within 10 to 15 minutes’ drive. Eating out at these local tavernas is amazingly good value by comparison with many other European destinations. Generally, from 20 euros a head including local wine. A little further afield, but within easy reach, you can find ancient monasteries, magnificent views and wonderful country walks through olive groves and fields of wild flowers. Also, the Peligoni members club is nearby. Water sports and boat trips are widely available. Yerakina is positioned on the hillside above Port St Nicholas and is protected by both its own substantial ancient olive grove and by the surrounding topography. It is not overlooked and with no traffic or nearby houses it provides both tranquillity and privacy. Contact Villa Yerakina to book your Greek holiday.
The split level floors in Villa Yerakina give all 5 bedrooms a magnificent view. Arranged on two floors, you enter the villa at the top level. The accommodation comprises:
First floor: Large living, dining and kitchen area. Well-appointed sitting area centred around a charming open fireplace. Four ensuite double bedrooms lead off the living area. Two identical master bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. The two secondary double bedrooms have an extra pull-out bed with proper mattress to create two treble rooms where needed. These bedrooms have ensuite shower rooms. All have basins and loos. All four rooms have doors that lead out onto the terraces. The main terrace is an idyllic location for eating out.
Pool terrace: Just a few steps below the first floor terrace is a spacious area that includes a large swimming pool, covered lunching area, built-in barbeque and ample space for sun-bathing or just relaxing in the shade of one of the large parasols. The First-floor terrace has been fitted with security gates and safety cables to provide an area where very young children can be easily supervised to ensure they have a safe place to play and are protected from the dangers inherent to swimming pools and the villa’s hillside position.
Ground floor: A further double studio bedroom with ensuite shower room, basin and loo. There is also a utility room which houses a washing machine, second fridge and boiler.
The first floor terrace provides both shade and the most stunning view on the island
The large Yerakina pool, just a few steps down from the main terrace, overlooks olive groves, the sea and in the distance, mainland Greece
