View Gallery
 

Villa Petrada is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the sought-after northern coast of Zakynthos. The property comprises a main house sleeping 8 guests and a separate guest house sleeping 2 guests. 'Petrada' in Greek means a jewel or small stone and this vibrantly colourful, Bohemian-chic property with its stone walls nestled into the verdant hillside with the azure-blue of the sea below really is a perfect gem!

The main house has a large split-level room with vaulted ceilings. To the right of this room is the kitchen area with a brand new sleek and stylish kitchen (new photos to be taken later in 2022). To the left is a spacious dining area which can seat 10 guests. A few steps lead down to a very comfortable and cosy living area with fireplace and plenty of sofas and brightly coloured pillows. Keen cooks amongst the guests can enjoy the well-equipped kitchen whilst the other guests can be close by to entertain. Above the main living area is a mezzanine - a fairly steep, open-tread staircase leads up to this galleried study which has wonderful views out to the sea. The living area opens onto the large terrace with its spectacular sea views and very large and elegant outdoor dining table.

There are four bedrooms all on the same level and each has its own bathroom. There is a master bedroom with king-size bed, and three further bedrooms which can all be made up either as doubles or as twins (please note that with these 3 bedrooms due to the design of the bed-frames, these beds are always made up with individual single bed linens even if pushed together to make doubles). All bedrooms open up onto the terrace so each one has its own superb views. The bedrooms are prettily decorated in a comfortable, light, island style with excellent quality linens and towels.

The main house also has a fully equipped utility room with washing machine and other household appliances, and WiFi internet available for guests' use.

The terrace runs the length of the house and is shaded by a traditional-style wattle pergola which in itself is a small work of art! There are many places to sit and relax and contemplate the view or admire the gardens. In particular there is a lovely area with in-built benches with plenty of scatter cushions to one side of this terrace. There is a further terrace below the house surrounded by thick shrubbery and bushes providing the perfect spot for the ping-pong table. Walking down through the herbaceous borders and shrubbery, there is a 10x6 metre swimming pool with a wide sun deck . Adjacent to the pool is another terrace shaded by a pergola. From all aspects of the garden, you have wide views over the sea and on clear days you can see across to Kefalonia.

Adjacent to the main house but totally self-contained is a very pretty stone guest house which is just as comfortable and well-furnished as the main house. It comprises a living room and kitchen area in one large room with a fireplace, sofa and armchairs, a dining table and kitchen units including gas hobs and an electric oven, a large fridge and deep freeze. In addition there is a separate double/twin bedroom and en suite bathroom with WC and large walk-in shower. The guest house has its own outside terrace and sitting area with wonderful mountain views shaded by a pergola.

New for 2022 season is a brand new tennis court.

This exceptional property is entirely private and surrounded by pristine nature. The nearest house is about half a kilometre away so it is perfect for families and friends who relish their privacy. The northern coast of Zakynthos is really unspoilt with lovely stone houses set within the cypress-clad hillsides. It's a short drive of about 10 mins to the sea where there are many beautiful coves and beaches. Local tavernas and shops are also about a 10 min drive away. From the asphalt road, you arrive at the property via a short dirt road and although jeep hire is useful, it is not necessary.

Villa Petrada is for those who enjoy good living in relaxed, comfortable and chic surroundings and who would like to experience a little slice of Greek island life that is unchanged by time.

Prices are based on 10 guests using the main house and guest house. For up to 8 guests using main house only (except in August), please enquire.

Lucinda S. arrived 12th August 2023
We had a wonderful week, the villa was extremely comfortable, it is clearly a much loved family home, everything perfect! The tennis court was a fabulous addition to a holiday, I was surprised how much we were able to use it but there was a wonderful evening breeze most evenings so we thoroughly enjoyed it.  

Many thanks for all your help, it’s our 2nd year booking through PGV and again you were all very helpful in the lead up to our holiday, we will certainly use you again if travelling to Greece.

Andrew M. arrived 24th Aug 2019

I just want to say this was the most gorgeous villa we have ever
stayed in. In every way. Beautiful views. Fabulously set out. Utterly perfect for a family holiday.

Thank you for organising it all.

Anthony F. arrived 18th July 2019

Generally we loved the villa especially the various outside seating
areas and the pool/sun bed area. The location in the hills was lovely as often there was a cooling breeze.
The Resturant recommendations were good and we used 3 different ones which were all good.
We loved the villa and would certainly like to book it again if we return to Zakynthos.

Kind regards
Anthony

Many thanks,
