Vasilikos 48

On the rolling hills directly above the sparkling Ionian coastline at Vasillikos on Zakynthos, and with uninterrupted sea views, this intriguing 332 sqm villa rises, to provide a four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence of unique beauty and quality surrounded by a mixture of manicured and natural gardens.  This architect-designed home engages with every part of the 4090 sqm magnificent terrain around it to provide a secluded, multi-level, multi-layered  which, space by space, reveals its extraordinary character.  The inclusion of colonnades which frame the house, the terraces and the infinity swimming pool, pays homage to the villa’s Greek heritage and unites each of its many and differing levels.

The villa is entered, passed walls of natural stone and an unexpected inner courtyard, to a light-filled and delightfully proportioned living room.  To its left, is the expansive bespoke chef’s kitchen and dining room.  Both rooms open, through fully retractable floor-to-ceiling windows, to a terrace, deck, gardens and infinity-swimming pool, and the breathtaking beauty of the coast below. These sliding glass walls remove any sense of separation and the effect is to unite the luxury of the interior with the exquisite beauty of the outdoors.

The drama of the villa is ingeniously heightened by the architect, who has suspended the lounge, kitchen-dining room, terrace, deck and infinity pool, as if in mid-air, over the descending terrain below.  

Above and behind the Entrance Level stepping-stone pathways lead toward a pergola mirroring the classic colonnades of the villa itself, a barbecue and secluded areas of natural beauty within the grounds.

Standing slightly behind the entertainment wing, and at an angle to the magnificent public living spaces, stands the inter-connected three-storey Private Wing and staircase.  The staircase, flooded by light from the picture windows around it, both separates and unites the Public and Private Wings.  

On the Entrance Level are two bedrooms served by a deluxe family bathroom.  Both have immediate access, through their sliding glass walls, onto a private walled garden which slopes gently away towards the swimming pool and the sea beyond.

At Lower Level are situated an ensuite bedroom and a large lower lounge together with a spa with sauna and jacuzzi.  The Lower Level also houses a large utility room with space for a wine cellar.  The bedroom suite and the lower lounge face each other, through sliding glass walls, from opposite sides of a sunken, sunlight-drenched courtyard.  This pivotal triangular open living space mediates the Public and Private Wings, bringing sunlight and air to the Lower Level, creates a “secret” intimate enclave for dining, relaxing or entertaining and gives a sense of unity to the entire villa.  

At Upper Level, is the colonnaded terrace which leads to the final bedroom.  Here, reserved to the occupants of this magnificent master suite, are new and yet more breathtaking panoramic sea views and direct access, at the rear, to the upper gardens and pergola.

This combination of architectural and interior design, engaging with every direction of the compass and elevation of the terrain, combine to draw the beauty of the Zakynthos coastline, sunlight and natural surroundings into the villa and its gardens and create a majestic, secluded and luxurious haven of peace and beauty.

This one of a kind architecturally designed villa is 332 sqm perched on the rolling hills of Vassilikos, offering breathtaking views of the Ionian coastline with the benefit of proximity to famous beaches and touristic focal points. It has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a swimming pool, indoor spa and a fully equipped outdoor dining area that integrates seamlessly with its natural landscape. The villa’s design is a tribute to the Greek heritage, with colonnades that complement its appearance both from within and from a far.

Instantly upon arrival the residents and their guests step into the entrance through a large stone wall, seemly monolithic and into a welcome courtyard that ultimately leads into the seven-meter height concourse with a vertical circulation of the plan also unveiling the first-floor suite tower. 

Walking into the open plan sunlit living room, bespoke kitchen and dining area a second courtyard creates a thoughtful divide between the public space to the private bedroom wing. The living area opens through retractable glass walls to the outdoor terrace, gardens, and swimming pool, merging the luxurious interiors with the stunning outdoors. The villa’s dramatic elevation suspends these spaces over the terrain, enhancing its architectural brilliance. An elevated thoughtfully planned pergola is reached through a paved pathway creating a secluded natural area for hosting, enhancing the Island life charm. 

The entrance level has two bedrooms, a deluxe bathroom, and direct garden access. On the first floor there is a master suite with ultimate views and direct and private access to the upper garden and pergola. The lower level encompasses an ensuite bedroom, living area, guest bathroom, utility room, pool with jacuzzi, a sauna and utility room.
