`The Asteri Collection - The Asteri Collection Agios Nikolaos Volimes

Oh my goodness, these villas are absolute heaven! We stayed in Villa Taygeta for a friend’s 50th birthday celebrations and other guests stayed in Villa Maia. The villas are beautifully designed and furnished. There are gorgeous little details everywhere and the garden and courtyard are stunning. We were really well looked after by Helen at the booking stage and by Tania, the Villa manager while we were there. They organised amazing massages for us all one day. We also used their catering services and had a fabulous Greek BBQ cooked for us one night. There were plenty of lovely little restaurants close by and we loved walking in the pretty port of Agios Nikolaos for a drink most nights. We have already booked to come again next year!!

Great place, great staff, great stay. Many thanks to manager Atonis and his team for their superb service. We stayed at Maia and absolutely loved it!

Our family of 8 (3 year old twins, 2 stressed out parents and 4 grandparents!) stayed at Villa Taygeta (45 min drive from the airport) on the gorgeous island of Zakinthos at the beginning of October. The weather was perfect with temperatures in the mid twenties, sunshine most days and the evenings were warm. It was coming to the end of the season so quite a few restaurants were closed but there were enough to choose from when we wanted to venture away from the beautiful, peaceful surroundings of our home for the week. Villa Taygeta has everything you could wish for, set up on the hill near to its 2 sister properties just out of the port of Agios Nikolaos (a brisk 20 minute walk although we drove most times). The view is incredible, a 360 panorama of crystal blue waters and lush countryside from wherever you chose to take it in and there are many places around the villa to enjoy it. All 5 bedrooms are en-suite and offer a sea view with the master bedroom having a dual aspect balcony to watch the sun rise in the morning whilst lying in bed! The villa is very new and we loved the style, very light and airy with a contemporary feel but still staying true to its surroundings and traditions. A huge amount of thought has gone into the design and build and it has certainly paid off. The outdoor space is beautiful and very spacious, there is somewhere to sit and relax and soak up the sun or a lovely shaded area to escape it at any time of the day. The focal point is the infinity pool and outdoor dining area and kitchen with wood fired pizza oven and large gas BBQ. We BBQ'd some lovely local whole fish and enjoyed the delights of local chef, Stefan, one evening! George the bread man became a highlight, we were like excited children waiting for Santa each morning, he had a great selection of fresh breads, pastries and local cakes. The kids were more than happy playing in the play area and sandpit and splashing around in the pool, happy kids definitely makes for happy parents! There's plenty for the grown ups too, we got quite good at boules and ping pong by the end of the week. The gym is well equipped although under used during our stay! All in all we had a wonderful week at Villa Taygeta and can't wait to visit again. Helen, the owner, was really helpful before we arrived and during our stay and the team on the ground made sure we had everything we needed. We have stayed in many villas over the years and this has to be the best.

Villa Taygeta - Absolutely stunning villa in a superb situation on the hillside overlooking the sea and the small typical Greek fishing port of Askos.The service at the villa was first class and our every need was attended too by the villa manager Anna. We went as a family of 9 to celebrate my husbands birthday and everyone had their own beautiful bedroom with en suite. No bedroom was better than the other ( except our master bedroom, of course :) so there was no arguments as to who had what and the children facilities were brilliant, they even had their own play room. I can't rate this villa highly enough, see it for yourself.

We can’t thank Helen and her team enough for the dreamiest week imaginable at Villa Antilia. It is done with such taste and the clever layout offers many relaxing areas to set up at throughout the day. The view of the ocean takes your breath away and can be seen from just about anywhere at the beautiful Villa. We loved the pool & jacuzzi, the BBQ/ outdoor eating/ bar area and day beds where we watched our baby girl play in the sandpit from! It’s close to the port and Helen sent us a brilliant list of recommended restaurants, beaches and activities for us to take advantage of if we wished to. They were all spot on too! We hired a car to get around which was easy. We were also able to order groceries to the villa and had a camp cot set up for our baby girl. Little touches like these make all the difference for a magical and relaxing holiday. We have booked for next year and can’t wait to show this slice of heaven to our loved ones. Thank you so much again, it was an unforgettable trip for our little family.

What can I say! This place blew me away! We went as a group of 5 ladies to Villa Antilia in early October. It was perfect, decorated with such taste and all the little extra touches just added to the experience. The villa is a short 20 mins walk to the nearest town where you can stock up on groceries which can be delivered to the villa. We ordered fresh swordfish and sausages for the outdoor bbq which was delicious. We made great use of the amazing speaker (must buy myself one of those for my house back at home). Every evening as the sun went behind the mountains we made would relax in the hot tub as the light slowly faded away. Have not got enough praise for this place. Totally recommend this villa equally for families or groups of friends. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We have just spent three nights in the Asteri Collection - Villa Antilia. The villa is absolutely stunning! Every single corner of it is so authentic and decorated with love. You can tell that a lot of heart has gone into the design of this place. The space is very large and has everything you could possibly need – well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, air-conditioning. We also loved all the different, beautifully decorated outside areas where we could relax. The photos of the villas were amazing but it even exceeded our expectations! When we arrived, we received a bottle of local wine, olive oil and home made honey as a welcome gift & also a handwritten card from the owner. The villa's manual has some good tips about the surroundings and restaurants. The view from the villa is incredible. You can enjoy it while swimming in the pool or relaxing in jacuzzi. The place is very quiet and offers a lot of privacy - it is perfect both for families (very children-friendly) or friends travelling together. We could have not asked for a better place to visit!

We had the most wonderful stay at Villa Taygeta over Easter. The house is beautiful, the view magnificent and the outdoor areas absolutely stunning. We will definitely return! The villa easily accommodated our two families - and every bedroom was equally fabulous, with outdoor terraces, affording everyone their own spaces. I particularly loved the attention to detail on all the outside spaces, so many spots to relax, take in the view or simply find a little bit of calm to curl up with a book. Anna, the house keeper, was fantastic and helped us arrange trips, restaurants and even an opportunity to celebrate Easter in Greek style with other families. Everything we needed was sorted efficiently. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The house itself was extremely well equipped - with pretty much everything we could have wanted provided. I particularly loved the thoughtful additional touches like delicious local olive oil, a proper coffee machine and warm blankets for chilly evenings provided. We had great fun making pizzas in the wood fired oven, and it was wonderful to have delicious fresh bread and pastries delivered each morning. The pool and jacuzzi were blissful and the kids had a fabulous time in both undaunted by the early season temperatures. It was a lovely time to visit the island, with verdant green hills and wild flowers all around. We particularly enjoyed being the only visitors on ‘shipwreck beach’ and it was lovely exploring hidden coves before the season got into full swing. I genuinely can’t find fault with anything at this property, our dealings with Helen and Charles were fantastic and they provided us with so much useful information (including the best directions you could ever ask for!). My only grumble was that evenings in April are chilly but I’ll forgive them for not sorting the weather - they thought of pretty much everything else! A fantastic stay - highly recommended!
