Reviews
We had a wonderful stay at Stravatha and would definitely recommend it. The location is fantastic: very peaceful and private, with beautiful views, and everything in and around the house worked perfectly. It really is a great place to switch off and enjoy the quieter side of Zakynthos.
We also had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy and Vivien in person, which was really nice. Everyone who came to look after the house, pool and garden was very friendly and helpful.
There are several solid tavernas and restaurants within about a 20-minute drive, so eating out is easy despite the secluded location. For larger and more reasonably priced grocery shopping, however, we found it worth driving into Zakynthos Town. The same applies if you want good-quality meat for the barbecue: Jeremy recommended a fine butcher in town. It makes sense to stock up there before heading north, especially given the distance to the house.
For swimming and snorkelling, Climati Beach was our personal favourite. It is a
A rare opportunity in a crowded world to find seclusion in a beautiful place. A lovely house, tastefully decorated and well equipped, with spectacular views west over the sea and towards Cephalonia. The pool is perfect and there's a wonderful rough-and-ready cove ten minutes drive below the house. Village shops nearby and good restaurants within ten to fifteen minutes' drive. A place of restful retreat from the world - ideal for couples and families.
Stravatha is a true masterpiece ! Every room is decorated with remarkable care, every object seems to have been thoughtfully chosen, and the whole place has a rare sense of harmony...
It would also be hard to imagine a better location: in the north of the island, in a wilder and more unspoilt area, far from the bustle of the south. Here, an extraordinary sense of peace reigns, facing the endless expanse of the sea.
The beautiful pool fits perfectly into this setting, seeming to melt into the blue of the sea and the sky. It naturally extends the landscape and enhances the feeling of infinity and serenity.
And then there are the sunsets… Every evening, the light is different, offering a new spectacle.
A rare place of exceptional beauty and serenity, which you leave with only one desire: to return.
We had a wonderful weeks’ stay at Stravatha. The house is very comfortable and tastefully decorated and had everything we needed (no airconditioning, but with the thick walls and shutters the house stayed quite cool so we didn’t need it). The pool is large and very nice, the views are breathtaking and the privacy of the location is unrivalled. We would certainly like to come back.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Jeremy’s place - peaceful, quiet, great location, fantastic view and a beautiful house with a lot of space both outdoors and indoors. Jeremy was always very helpful with local recommendations such as restaurants, boat rentals etc. Nice pebble beaches, mini markets and restaurants about 15 minutes drive. Local restaurants in the village about 5 minutes drive. Strong recommendation for a relaxed and peaceful family holiday!
What a fabulous place. The house is both stylish and comfortable … but it’s the pool and that view that really take your breath away and make this a quite exceptional place to stay.
We spent two wonderful weeks at Stravatha and can highly recommend this special place.
Stravatha is wonderfully secluded, about five minutes above the village of Volimes. If you're looking for peace and quiet and want to truly unwind and escape from everyday life, this is the perfect place. The location is idyllic: a peaceful spot with spectacular views, a fantastic pool, and stunning sunsets.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility and the unique atmosphere and felt completely at ease from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The owners, Jeremy and Vivien, are incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful.
For anyone seeking relaxation, peace, and beautiful surroundings, Stravatha is a truly special place. We will definitely be back!
Stravatha is everything we could have wished for and more. The villa is very well equipped, beautifully maintained and incredibly comfortable. It’s the perfect place to switch off, relax and make wonderful memories. Highly recommend!
