Charmante villa de campagne, piscine privée, près de la mer, paisible Skinaria, Zante.
Spiti Martini se trouve dans l’un des plus beaux coins de Skinaria, au nord de Zante, au milieu des oliviers, des pins et des cyprès, avec une vue magnifique. Cette petite maison bénéficie d’un emplacement idéal : depuis la piscine, on a vue sur la mer, tout en étant à l’écart de la route côtière très fréquentée. Elle dispose d’une superbe piscine entièrement privée de 10 x 5 mètres, ainsi que d’une pergola pour s’abriter du soleil. Martini est un lieu paisible, doté d’une cheminée à foyer ouvert. Sols en terre cuite et murs blanchis à la chaux. Trois grandes chambres, de hauts plafonds avec poutres apparentes, deux salles d’eau (dont une attenante), agencées ainsi : une chambre double et deux chambres à lits jumeaux (dont une en mezzanine à l’étage). La cuisine, compacte et entièrement équipée, offre toutes les commodités nécessaires. Lave-linge, barbecue à gaz et grand réfrigérateur à boissons. Congélateur. Chaises longues confortables au bord de la piscine. Les portes-fenêtres s’ouvrent sur un grand jardin privé clos et un domaine clos de deux acres, avec des terrasses pavées de carreaux faits main et de nombreux sièges extérieurs. Les repas en plein air sont très appréciés de nos hôtes. De vieux oliviers offrent de l’ombre. Une crique tranquille située en contrebas de la maison est accessible en moins de 5 minutes, ainsi qu’une longue plage de galets, de sable et de cailloux avec des parasols, et une taverne à 8 minutes. Connexion Wi-Fi et signal 4G puissants.
Description : Les murs intérieurs de la villa sont blanchis à la chaux, avec un sol en tomettes de terre cuite anciennes et des tapis noués à la main. Les salles de bains sont entièrement carrelées et dotées de plafonds avec poutres apparentes. Canapés confortables et moelleux, nombreux sièges à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur. Les lits sont en pin massif fabriqués à la main par notre menuisier local, Georgos ; les armoires encastrées en pin sont également de fabrication artisanale. Toutes les fenêtres sont équipées de volets. Les portes intérieures sont en pin vert avec des loquets de type Norfolk. Des coins salon isolés et privés autour de la piscine, ainsi qu’une nouvelle pergola pour l’ombre.
Spiti Martini est conçue comme une maison pour une seule famille. Les deux chambres principales sont communicantes et la troisième chambre (à deux lits simples) se trouve à l’étage, au-dessus de la sala (salon). Elle n’est PAS adaptée à deux familles.
Chaque chambre est équipée d’une climatisation moderne (2022), commandée par télécommande et très silencieuse. Le salon principal en est également équipé.
La mer se trouve à 3 kilomètres en voiture. Des criques tranquilles et isolées ou des plages plus grandes offrant davantage d’activités sont à proximité. Il est possible de louer un bateau dans le village de pêcheurs situé en contrebas de la maison. La plupart des repas sont préparés à l’extérieur ; vous disposez d’un barbecue à gaz, d’un deuxième réfrigérateur pour les boissons et d’un four dans un petit chalet situé dans le jardin. De belles promenades vous attendent dans les collines environnantes. Notre livre d’or témoigne du passage de familles et de couples qui sont revenus à Martini pour profiter de l’atmosphère conviviale et paisible de la maison. La terrasse arrière du jardin est clôturée et privée
À proximité : les jolis villages grecs traditionnels d’Ano Volimes et de Volimes se trouvent à 5 minutes en voiture.

Nous mettons à votre disposition dans la maison une annonce des tavernes que nous apprécions, que nous mettons à jour chaque printemps. La partie nord de l’île reste en grande partie préservée et a ainsi conservé une atmosphère d’antan où le temps n’a plus d’importance et où la vie s’écoule à un rythme tranquille. Excellentes randonnées.Deux petites criques se trouvent juste en contrebas de la maison : vous pourrez vous y baigner dans une eau cristalline, une alternative à la piscine. Trois monastères sont accessibles en moins de 30 minutes en voiture

This villa is a slice of heaven. It’s absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. The pool area is incredible but all the seating areas they have created are the perfect place to be. The location is fantastic but you do need a car. There are so many wonderful tavernas and restaurants nearby and the hosts recommended a couple of fabulous places that we enjoyed. Martin, Jane and their son guy are fantastic hosts. Really responsive and gave some useful tips and recommendations. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday. We were a family of 4 travelling with 2 children aged 6 & 10.

Such a peaceful, authentic home in delightful grounds. Perfectly private yet within easy reach of so many beaches and tavernas as long as you’re happy to drive a few miles each day. Awesome pool and spaces to relax, with all the facilities we needed. We’d highly recommend hiring a boat for a day to enjoy some of the swim spots and beaches only accessible from the sea!

A well renovated traditional Greek cottage. Just beautiful. Calm, relaxing, beautiful outside spaces including a fab pool. Great for a family holiday or for escaping the world. Set in beautiful hills just a short drive to the beaches, tavernas and local villages. Captures the Greek Islands of old! Recommend to anyone. Great communication and information from the owners made the stay easy.

The location of Spiti Martini is wonderful, quiet and very private but within a ten minute drive of local shops and great restaurants. The house has rustic charm but with modern conveniences such as wi-fi, air conditioning etc. The pool is utterly beautiful with wonderful far reaching views. There is a lovely bbq terrace.
Spiti Martini exceeded our expectations and we will most certainly be returning

Although it’s quite an old olive growers house we have continued to up date it to modern standards, without spoiling the unique character. It’s peaceful and rural as you say but within reach of good tavernas. Please come back next year. Our staff will be pleased to welcome you!

First rate experience!
Our experience staying at Spiti Marinii was a joy. The bed rooms and sitting room have air-conditioning which worked very well. The pool is great condition and was well maintained by a visiting poolman during our stay. The pool is in an elevated location and from there is a panoramic view over the sea. George the property manager was charming, helpful and speaks good English. Dealing with Martin and Jane was an absolute pleasure.

Fantastic house in a great location!
We had a wonderful time staying at Spiti Martini. The house worked very well for a family of 5, lots of areas in which to sit, sunbathe, chill, eat with sun and shade for all.
We loved exploring the local beaches and places to visit. As the owners say the roads are small and steep, but we didn't have any problems. I'd recommend taking water shoes, not just if you want to jump off rocks but also for the pebbly beaches. An umbrella might be handy too. We had neither and loved it all!
Fantastic house and location!

Thank you Sophie and John . We are of course pleased you enjoyed your stay in our house. We agree that we are lucky to have an acre garden to wander about in. Plus a few quiet places to sit and read ! Also we are pleased that even in busy August you found a cove or two to enjoy. The position of Spiti Martini out of earshot of the busy coast road means it’s a great place to re-charge after a day on the beach 🏖

Great location and lovely grounds
Great location and lovely grounds. Martin communicated very quickly when we had issues and Giorgios was very responsive. The villa needs aircon as it heats up during the day and the fans dare ineffective. The villa is very small. The bedrooms are a series of linked room so there is little privacy. It is fine for a small family but not for sharers in our view.

Thank you Ailsa for your review. We are sorry that you were not 100% happy with your stay . You can see from previous reviews that you are the first not to give us five stars.
The August temperatures were extreme at 39 degrees . We have not known those this century in Northern Zakynthos.
We are installing air conditioning this winter as we mentioned.
Two acres of gardens , a lovely large pool and high ceilings in the house have meant that some families have returned two and even three times.

Our favourite holiday destination to date!
Thanks so much for such a wonderful stay at your stunning villa. We were blown away with how beautiful it was. The pictures really don’t do it justice! Everything we needed was there, the house and grounds were spotlessly clean and very tastefully decorated and the swimming pool was large, immaculate and provided hours of fun for the whole family! We so enjoyed exploring the breathtaking island, taking in many sights, friendly tavernas, boat trips and visiting several clear water, deserted beaches. Spiti Martini could not have been a more idyllic base in which to do it! We are already discussing our return visit and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this stunning villa and little piece of Heaven to all who would consider it!

A beautiful and idyllic villa perfect for a family holiday
Spiti Martini is a truly wonderful property offering everything needed for a relaxing family holiday.
The decor is lovely, with a great sitting room and shared space including a well-equipped kitchen area. The bedroom layout is perfect for a family stay.
The garden and outside space are the real gems of the villa, set in the hills and with a view over the coast from the pool, it is gorgeous. We really enjoyed the olive grove and the kids loved the large and well-maintained pool, looked after by Vangelis and Georgios who were very helpful.
Our whole experience of Zakinthos was no doubt improved through having a great base to return to in the afternoons while the recommendations on local tavernas led to some great local dishes and friendly people.
Dealing with our hosts Martin and Jane was a pleasure and I can not recommend this more thoroughly!

Peaceful
Spiti Martini is what you can describe as a cosy refurbished barn, set up in the hills with a sea view from the pool.
It had all we needed for a wonderful peaceful holiday. We absolutely loved our stay.
Well appointed for breakfasts and light lunch and plenty of wonderful restaurants to visit locally by car for suppers. Or a bbq for dinners. We took to the local restaurants as the evening option which there are lots to choose from with an array of price options. Our favourites were Micro Nisi, La Storia, Madrakia and Stinos. You can do boat hire at MN.
We were a family of 4 (12 and 14)yo and 2 grandparents. Grandparents needed to sleep in the main en-suite due to steep stairs from the mezzanine floor to access the bathroom at night….children were in the twin and us on the mezzanine. The kitchen is quite small but perfectly adequate for our holiday. The outside area certainly more than made up for it.
Martini boasts an amazing pool with so many different beautiful outdoor seating areas. Seeking sunshine / shade / views and peace.
The host Martin and George the manager were great. Communication 5*
Would highly recommend!

The Real Zakynthos
We spent 5 wonderful days at Spiti Martini which felt more like "the real Zakynthos". We were looking for a place that was out of the main hustle and bustle of Zante and we were so pleased as we climbed the mountains on the way north.
After winding our way through the hills we arrived to find a wonderful charming property. The landscaping was lovely, and the house felt like it had been harmoniously built with the trees and shrubs of the area. The house was a perfect size for our family of four and a mix of traditional and modern. The AC kept us cool on warm nights, but there is also a lovely breeze that passes through at night. We loved cooling off in the beautiful pool after a day exploring the island/beaches. We took full advantage of the grill to make some meals we ate al fresco under the flowering vines, and other nights took advantage of many of the nearby restaurants.
Martin and Jane were excellent hosts. They were so communicative prior to our arrival even sending us a map, directions, and lots of suggestions in the mail. They answered all our questions and you can tell how much they love their home away from home from the care they have taken to maintain it.
We would recommend this to anyone looking for the quieter side of Zakynthos where you will see amazing views, have access to lots of beaches, access many of the smaller local villages selling crafts & food, and at the end of the day come home to an authentic well loved home.

What a gem!
Absolutely loved our stay at Martin and Jane's other home. The gardens are magical and the photos don't do them justice, the pool was great - definitely big enough for all of us (6 inc 4 children from 5-14 years). Only slight niggle was it would have been great to have some comfier sunbeds. There are wasps and bees around the pool but they are definitely tolerable and you did get used to them quickly. They only come for water so they don't bother you.
Inside the house is lovely. It's very rustic and traditional which is what we wanted. I prefer to stay in a place with the local charm over a very new home so I loved it. Beds are good. Main bed could be bigger but it was fine for 2 weeks. Kitchen is small but has what you need. We didn't find any issues at all with it at all. Ate under the gorgeous pergola most nights. The added table tennis table was a nice touch to the garden too.
The location is lovely. Staying away from the south was a great choice as there are so many beautiful local beaches with much fewer tourists than down south. We drove down to some beaches and a Waterpark near the south of the island but it doesn't take long, 40 min or so. Just try and hire a car that can manage to get up hills!
Definitely read the visitors book in the house, we left some details of some great places we visited and went to some that previous visitors had mentioned. Well worth it!
Martin, thanks for having us and also for helping us with the car hire connection!

Perfect rustic getaway
Spiti Martini is just what we were looking for. An easy drive from the airport in the quiet north of the island. Plenty of excellent tavernas a short drive away and local shop at the bottom of the hill for essentials.
Had to ask the manager for some shade over both the pool eating area and the main table as it got very hot around lunchtime.
Unfortunately the washing machine stopped working on our third day. Despite a repair attempt the next day it couldn’t be fixed until our last day. One of those things but still a little frustrating.
Would we go back? Yes!

Beautiful and peaceful
This is our second time staying at Spiti Martini, and it was a wonderful place to retreat to. The garden was just as beautiful as we remembered, with its gnarled olive trees, and cypress trees and steps up to the pool. Spiti Martini is the perfect location to explore the beaches and coastline of Northern Zakynthos, and not far from our favourite swimming spot, Porto Limnionas. The villa is very nicely decorated and furnished; it's very easy to feel at home here, unlike many villas we have stayed in in Greece over the years. Giorgios the house manager was wonderful and friendly and helps answer any question. Now back in London, we miss it and will always want to go back again

Simple, relaxing , luxury. A perfect family villa
We had the most wonderful week here at spiri martini. Relaxing and easy. The villa was perfectly clean, the pool was spotless and cleaned all week. A lovely sized pool perfect for my teenagers. We loved every minute of this week. Giorgios the property manager was friendly and helpful. The cleaner did an exceptional job mid week. The outside are was lovely. So many lovely tavernas and beaches to visit. Post Covid lockdown we chose well in Zante. No quarantine restrictions going back to UK. It was truly an escape. Feel very grateful to have had this week away

Justine thank you for your very positive feedback as it will help future guests .
Jane and I are pleased that the swim pool was large and big enough for three teenagers and house was spotless. During and after Covid our staff are making a special effort. Also we note you enjoyed the large garden and nearby Tavernas and beaches for your family. We hope you might return to Spiti Martini one day.

Lovely house in an idyllic setting
Spiti Martini more than fulfilled our expectations. The house is very attractive and the beautiful garden, with all its different seating areas, was the perfect place to relax and unwind. And the pool is amazing. Set in a beautiful part of Zakynthos with some lovely beaches, although inevitably they were pretty busy in early July. A great base to explore the north of the island, or just take things easy.

Amazing tranquil villa. Would suit family or couple looking for peace and quiet
We have just returned from a lovely week in Zante at Spiti Martina. Want to cover a few points to note about the property before the good bit:
It is a two bedroom property with an open planned mezzanine above the living room. This would only be suitable for families as we took a friend who did not have any privacy apart from changing on the shared bathroom. Also not appropriate for older famiky members as mezzanine is up a steep set of stairs. Take lots of insect repellent, we did but were still eaten alive as property is rural. Ensure that you hire a good car and do not mind driving on coastal cliff roads as this is the only way in and out of the villa and can be a little worrying if you are not a confident driver at night. Make sure that you fill up with shopping on the way to the villa at one of the large supermarkets near Zante town as is much more reasonable and the villa has a fridge freezer. Please note it does not have an oven so cooking will be by hob or grill on the BBQ. The swimming pool is set up steep uneven stone steps and therefore can not be seen from the house not ideal for young children to be left unattended.
We had a wonderful time at the Villa, we went with my three children, husband and a family friend. The children loved the pool and I loved the sun terrace. Very private and all day long suntrap. The walled garden outside the villa gave us a lovely setting for al fresco dining or chilling with a coffee and a book in the shade. The villa was lovely and clean an rustic just what I needed. There is a small shop over the rd for basics and cafes in Volimes which is a 8 min drive into the hills. Go to Aghios Nikolaus only 8 mins downhill and catch boat trips or attend a Greek night on a Friday at the small seafront restuarant at the end of the bay. Be sure to go on Trainaki in Alykes leaves at 10.45 every day feom the Jammin bar is a lovely tour. If you are looking to be able to rest and enjoy self catering this holiday is for you , it is not within walking diatance of bars and tavernas so you will need to drive. The amenities were great and the staff (pool and cleaners) very helpful. Spiti Martini is a lovely place to be creative or just kick back and switch off. My children enjoyed not having Wifi and although their 4g worked they dis not use it instead we played Coita, Boule, Cards, Draughts , Backgammon and one night they put on an X factor type show on the natural stage in the garden. We will definitely return to the villa

Dear Ian and Stacey
Thank you very much for your thorough and helpful review.
You explain and describe very well the house , as we do on its website. We tell all guests that they must have a car or jeep, we show on our website the steps to the pool area. The fact you and your family loved the pool sun terrace makes us happy , as we have given a lot of thought to this area of our garden.We are very pleased that you found Spiti Martini very clean, and our staff friendly and helpful. For us , knowing you had a happy carefree holiday is important. We are especially pleased that you will stay again...we have plans to open up some of the acres at the rear , creating more secluded spots to relax .
Regards
Jane and Martin

Spiti Martini = Paradise
Excellent location. The house is really comfortable and has plenty of room to allow some privacy when needed. Beaches (pebbles) are really close, and even the first sand beaches are 20 minutes by car. We had a couple of requests for the house manager, Giorgio, and he solved both in less than 20-30 minutes (Thanks Giorgio!).
So, overall, we had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Thanks.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?
We discovered this place with its pleasant climate and visited on holiday several years. We bought the house in a lovely position in the quiet hamlet above Megaloni in Skinaria..restored and rebuilt and re equipped it . Walled the estate and excavated and built a modern swimming pool , terracing , seperate driveway. It gives us peace and a place to return to year after year. We decided to let it to help defray the costs for part of the year whilst continuing to keep a home in Wiltshire.
Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?
Peace . Lovely rural position yet close to the sea and local tavernas as well as far enough away from the busy coast road to afford a good holiday. Friendly neighbors.
