There is no hot tub/jacuzzi at the pool, although there are a couple of air jets in one corner.… Finally, FYI - we mistakenly thought when booking that the little round mini pool in the pics must be a jacuzzi - it is actually just a shallow area meant for kids to swim. You could sun bathe but I think the Villa is in its full glory earlier in the season. It was around 26 degrees outside but this time of year the Villa pool simply doesn’t get enough sun for long enough to warm up. The front desk helped us find other places to go. There is only one restaurant in walking distance from the property (but it was really good: The Old Windmill). Otherwise, we had a few thoughts on the property and area, especially this time of year (early October): Things around were wonderfully quiet because it was end of season, but some restaurants had already closed and others were open but had limited menus because they had stopped buying stock in. The two small supermarkets near the Villa also have water but it is more expensive. There is a Lidl by the airport and we were glad we bought loads of water there. You absolutely need to stock up on bottled water before you arrive. The only things that caught us by surprise are that the tap water in the Villa is not safe to drink, and you cannot flush loo roll down the toilets (both things were the same everywhere we went in Zakynthos, so it seems a feature of the plumbing on the whole island, not the Villa specifically). There really was everything you need for a fun group holiday - eg a great sound system inside and outside, a few games, Smart TVs etc. Super comfortable beds and pillows (genuinely, we wanted to buy these for home). They provided enough charcoal and lighter cubes for at least three barbecues though, which was great! The house was spotlessly cleaned every day. Just know you do need to bring anything perishable or disposable (eg you need to supply your own cooking oil, salt/pepper, paper towels, etc). The Villa was very well stocked with kitchen implements/appliances and dishes and utensils, so you can cook meals if you want. Dimitra from the front desk responded almost instantly to sort whatever we needed the whole trip. They set up a WhatsApp chat when we arrived which we could use to communicate with reception, which is down the hill. There was great communication before and during the trip and they were very responsive to requests. The service was excellent with really wonderful staff. Exactly as described/shown in photos (save the bathrooms have had some wear). We had the Deluxe Villa and it was really good.
