Wonderful, peaceful, but nothing close by, need car, but if like us, you want peace, perfect.

We stayed in Villa Eleni, Zakynthos, booked through James Villas for a week in August. Finding the villa was very difficult, with no clear signage from the main road. The Villas are located halfway down an incredibly steep, unlit, single-track dirt road, driving past derelict houses, dumped rubbish and abandoned scrap metal. The access from the car park area to the villa was also down a steep slope, not suitable for those with mobility issues. We were met on arrival by the female owner, who was helpful in providing information on the local area. She advised us to ensure that the villa alarm was set when we left the villa and when we went to bed. We were also shown the ‘panic alarm’ on the key fob and advised to lock doors and windows when we were sat by the pool. This made us feel quite uneasy and uncomfortable about our security at the villa, particularly given its difficult access. Furthermore, it is not an issue that we have ever previously experienced on any other villa holiday. If security is such an issue then why is there direct, unhindered access to the villa from the villa further up the hill? The villa was clean, but very basic, poorly equipped and was ‘tired’ in places. It also appeared that work on the villa was incomplete with exposed pipes and cabling in all rooms and bare electrical wiring in the pool area. The barbecue was filthy, with the previous guests’ food and coals still on it, and the grills were in such a poor state of repair that we would not have been able to use them. On contacting the James Villa rep ‘Jane’, she arranged for the owner to replace the grills, and this was done the following day by the male owner, albeit grudgingly as they didn’t perceive this to be an issue. The villa is advertised as having WIFI, although this did not work for the entire time that we were there. We were advised by Jane that due to the “thick walls”, WIFI was only available if you sat outside the villa, not at all acceptable or indeed, practical. The advertised satellite TV was problematic, with the few English-speaking channels, pixelated. What the brochure does not mention is the adjacent smallholding where both humans and animals start very early in the morning and continue into the following early hours of the morning.

Another great holiday this was our forth visit very privite great villa lovely veiws hope to be back again next year

Lovely clean villa. Quite location. Amazing views. One day we watch dolphins from the villa balcony.
