Neighbourhood information
Meli is the Greek word for honey, which is an apt description for the mellow natural feel of this lovely villa both inside and out. It’s the perfect base for both a peaceful beach vacation and exploring the most photogenic spots on Zakynthos, as pebble coves such as Climati and Kremeidi are just a 2-minute drive away, while the Blue Caves and Navagio beach are easily reached in 30 minutes by car. Meli is one of three detached villas, each well separated from the others, with individual entrances and swimming pools offset to maximize privacy. Meli is the highest of the three, with Yasmi set below it but not obscuring the view. The Athens-based owner designed the villas for her children, and therefore included some common areas, including a large additional sun terrace and a boules alley, which all guests are welcome to use. For a larger group, Levandi, Yasmi and Meli booked together would be a fantastic combination to mark a special occasion. With polished wood floors, exposed beams and an open plan living/dining space, Meli is both cozy and airy, finished with a subtly French flavor and impeccable taste. The master bedroom is on the ground floor, with direct terrace access, whilst upstairs there’s a cozy twin, also with a delightful sea view from its large porthole window. The outside space feels really generous for four, with sunny and shady spots for relaxing or dining, plus plenty of room around the pool for rest and play. From Meli’s lofty position the craggy coastline beckons temptingly, lapped by translucent turquoise water. There are many little swimming spots nearby, including the so-called sulphur beaches at Xigia, popular for the supposed health-giving qualities of the water, and the sandy, family oriented Alykes around 25 minutes to the south.
