The Olive Groves is a complex of three stone-built luxury villas in their own private grounds, set on a hillside with panoramic views of Zakynthos and the neighbouring islands of Marathonisi and Pelouso.
The villas are built in the traditional Zakynthos style, yet with extremely modern and fashionable interiors - including the latest kitchen designs from Porcelanosa. The villas also boast technology such as satellite television and plasma screens. There is secured entry and even an elevator to carry you and your luggage from the car park to the villas.

Villas are designed for eight, but can accommodate up to ten people. Sleeping accommodation consists of two double rooms, two sets of bunk beds and one double couch bed.

Each villa has it's own private swimming pool. Other features include modern bathrooms and separate ground floor shower/wash rooms.

The villas are air conditioned throughout and have open fireplaces for the winter months. There is also a barbeque and outside dining area. A local supermarket is within walking distance of the villas.

Villas can be rented individually or, alternatively, you can rent the entire Olive Groves complex to ensure complete and exclusive privacy.

The Olive Groves complex was built in 2005
 

The many highlights of Zakynthos are all within approximately one hour’s drive from The Olive Groves.
The villas themselves are situated above the tiny and peaceful village of Lithakia, only fifteen minutes drive to the airport, ten minutes to the nearest beach at Porto Koukla and twenty minutes drive from the island’s capital and main hub – Zakynthos Town.

Most beaches of note are near The Olive Groves on the southeast coast of Zakynthos. These vary between large, popular stretches of sand like Gerakas (monitored for its turtle population), the busy beaches around Agassi, to more secluded beaches such as Porto Koukla. For utter relaxation take a boat and a picnic to Marathonisi Island – quiet and laid-back even in peak season (also monitored for its turtles).

Away from the southern beaches is the island’s most photographed destination, Agios Georgiou, otherwise known as Navagio (ship-wreck) beach on the northeast coast. Only accessible by boat, cameras as well as swimming costumes are a must.

The Olive Groves are just inland from the National Marine Sea Park, home to Zakynthos’ endangered Caretta-Caretta sea-turtle population. For great turtle watching hire a guide from one of the beaches. Our management and tour agents at BesTour can also arrange this for you.

To the west is Keri Beach with its bustling natural harbour and fascinating caves. A few minutes drive up the hills to the unspoilt village of Keri and stunning views of the cliffs from near its working lighthouse – where if atmospheric conditions are right you can actually touch the clouds.

Take the road inland to the northwest and the charming village of Volimes where local crafts, especially textiles, are a speciality. Drive east from there to the island’s northernmost coast, Cape Skinari and the magnificent stone arches and dazzling hues of the Galazio Spileo – the Blue Cave.

Car hire can be provided at exclusive discount rates through HireAuto.
Thanks to the Venetian nobility who built Zakynthos Town, the island’s capital and main hub definitely has something of the Renaissance about it – both in its architecture and in its stylish piazza lifestyle (Indeed Zakynthos Town is known by some as the Florence of the East).

Much was rebuilt in the style after the massive 1953 earthquake, and the islanders are rightly proud of their well-kept and buzzing town. A busy port during the day with a direct ferry link to the mainland, the town, lit up by the lights of St. Dennis Cathedral (Patron Saint of Zakynthos), comes alive after dark especially in the inter-connected Solomos and St Marks Square. Al-fresco dining at its best.

Towering over Zakynthos Town are the picturesque Bochali Hill – famous for its flowers and crafts, the fascinating Venetian castle and Strani Hill, for great views of the island and mainland.
 

Zakynthos, also known as Zante, is the southernmost of Greece's beautiful Ionian Islands.
The Venetians, who planted many of the medieval olive groves from which our villas take their name, described Zakynthos as 'The Flower of the Orient', largely due to its fertile plains and verdant hills.

The Olive Groves villas are located on a hillside overlooking the island's stunning southern coastline, in the peaceful village of Lithakia.

The villas are ideally designed for eight people, but can accommodate up to ten. Each villa has its own private heated pool, stylish interiors – including Guy Le Roche bedding, Porcelanosa bathroom suites and the latest technology – including a plasma screen satellite television.

Your holiday experience will be managed from your arrival to departure by the Manfredas family, who have been looking after tourists for over 25 years.

We include airport transfers and a daily maid service, with a welcome hamper on arrival. Anything else you desire - from tours to butlers, chauffeurs and close personal security - can also be arranged.

We can be at your every beck and call or totally invisible, it's your holiday and your choice.

What you will be assured of is a close and personal service that you would have never experienced before, but will want to experience again and again, year after year.

Georgie says: "fantastic property - well built and private. Web site need to be clearer on the fact that the 3 villas have quite different views and pools - we were expecting the pool to be larger. Also the driveway and parking are very hard to negotiate so you need nerves of steel! Very helpful local connection at the other end - she answered all our questions and helped us with lost luggage and car rental. Car hire is a must as the villas are far from the main built up areas which is what we wanted, to be away from the tourists and be part of the local area. The island itself is beautiful - our favourite spot was Limnionas where you can jump off rocks and platforms into the most specacular coloured water. Also Porto Vroma where we caught the boat to the shipwreck - smaller boats and smaller crowds."
