Venetian villa with sea view & pool in Zakynthos – exclusive farmhouse in a secluded location

A true gem in the north of Zakynthos: this lavishly restored Venetian villa combines historic charm, breathtaking nature and modern self-sufficiency in perfect harmony. Perched high on a quiet hill, you can enjoy one of the most beautiful panoramic views on the island – directly overlooking the northeast coast, Mikro Nisi and the renowned Peligoni Club.

The property offers complete privacy and is located in one of the most unspoilt regions of Zakynthos – ideal for anyone looking to buy an exclusive villa with sea views in Greece. Thanks to its energy self-sufficient construction, it is completely off-grid – an ideal retreat with a sustainable concept.

The two-storey main building impresses with original natural stone walls, high wooden beam ceilings, a stylish fireplace and lovingly preserved traditional elements. On the upper level, there is a spacious living area with an adjoining pantry and two large bedrooms – both with en-suite bathrooms and sea views. The master bedroom opens directly onto the covered terrace, which is ideally positioned for sunrise and sunset. On the lower floor, there is another double bedroom with a separate bathroom and direct access to the garden, with rocks from the original hill forming an integral part of the design. An impressive testament to Greek architecture with authentic flair.

The elegant infinity pool on the spacious sun terrace invites you to relax – with spectacular views and complete seclusion. Two separate studios with their own entrance and bathroom complete the offer and provide space for guests or potential income from holiday rentals.

This characterful property on Zakynthos is an artistically designed and environmentally conscious hideaway – ideal as a private holiday home, stylish retirement residence or investment property with rental potential.
