Bricks In Nature

Bricks In Nature: Zakynthos

This charming villa is perfect for a family holiday, with a rustic outdoor eating area and a refreshing pool, it's not only great for the adults but for little ones too. You'll be located in a peaceful conservation area, brilliant for a much-needed getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life. City dwellers can become one with nature, and enjoy the easy-going lifestyle that comes with residing in a beautiful remote area. Enjoy a grilled breakfast cooked on the terrace barbeque under the morning sun, with an energising cup of coffee – we love a good latte.

You're only a short walk away from the nearest beach, so make sure you pack a bucket and spade for an afternoon of building golden sandcastles. Dip your toes in the aquamarine waters and let the ocean breeze cool you down. With those pesky sand grains in your shoes, take a walk to Taverna Gerakas for some delicious Grecian cuisine – wash it down with a sumptuous glass of red or opt for a sparkling glass of lemonade.

Head home to relax on the sun lounger with a new book, followed by taking a dip in the pool while you watch the sun set behind the verdant surroundings. Admire the amber glow of the evening as you unwind and relish in the stillness.
