About this property

Hilltop Villa with Private Pool | Panoramic Views | Sea Turtle National Park.

Perched on a hilltop above the Bay of Laganas, Buena Vista Villa commands some of the most breathtaking panoramic views in Zakynthos — 180 degrees views, stretching across the entire southern coastline of the island.
This is a villa designed for those who want to slow down. Mornings begin with coffee on the veranda as the sea catches the early light. Afternoons are spent in the pool — 9 metres long, surrounded by sun loungers and a hammock, with nothing but open sky and sea views ahead of you. Evenings finish from the west-facing balcony, watching the sun drop into the Ionian.
The villa sleeps up to 15 across five bedrooms, making it ideal for a group of friends, two or three couples travelling together, or a multi-generational family gathering. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower, and opens directly onto the large upper veranda overlooking the pool and sea.
Inside, the villa is spacious and well-equipped — a fully fitted kitchen, a generous dining area for 10, comfortable living spaces across two floors, and three bathrooms including the master en-suite. Air-conditioning throughout keeps things cool during the warmer months.
The location is quietly special. You are three minutes from the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, where loggerhead sea turtles nest on protected beaches — one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences in Europe. The sandy beaches of the south coast, boat trips, local tavernas serving fresh seafood, and the island's famous Navagio viewpoint are all within easy reach. Yet up on the hill, the villa feels entirely removed from it all — peaceful, private, and unhurried.

Amazing Villa!

We had an amazing time at Buena Vista Villa. This was my Mum’s first abroad holiday experience since 1978! Buena Vista gave her that extra bit of luxury and charm we were looking for. We were extremely well looked after by the owner who went over and above so we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend! Will definitely visit again!

Jessica and her family proved to be exceptional guests during their stay at the villa. Their conscientiousness in maintaining cleanliness was highly appreciated upon their departure. Communication with Jessica was excellent throughout, and we would be delighted to welcome them back in the future. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend them to fellow hosts.

The house was very clean. Beautiful and big swimming pool with a lot of outside space. Panos was very nice en welcoming. There’s not so much around in the area so I would recommend a car.

A must visit villa!!

Our stay at Buena Vista Villa was amazing the views from the hilltop where breath taking, the pool outside was amazing and very clean. A truly memorable holiday. In addition to this the owner Panos was a 10/10 host upon arrival the fridge had cakes wine and beer. Nothing was too much for him, he was always ready to help if need be. Zakynthos is a wonderful holiday destination and this villa truly made the holiday perfect.

The best time at Buena Vista villa

Our stay at Buena Vista villa did not disappoint, it was truly exceptional. The villa, the pool, the location were all just perfect for our stay. We had 8 adults and a 7 month old and suited our needs perfectly. Panos was a true gentleman, he was around to assist whenever you needed, he cleaned the pool, tended to the garden and emptied the bins daily, he gave us lots of advice on what to see and do and always with a smile. I would definitely go back!

About the host

Hosted by Panagiotis Markoutsas

Host profile image
We are a Greek family from Zakynthos, and this villa is something we built with real care — not as an investment project, but because we wanted to create somewhere that does justice to this extraordinary corner of the island. We know every olive tree on the property.
As locals, we are genuinely useful to have on your side. We know which tavernas are worth the drive and which ones are coasting on tourist footfall. We know the quiet beaches that don't appear on the main maps, the best mornings to visit Navagio before the day-trip boats arrive, and the local boat captains who will take you to sea caves and turtle spotting areas that most visitors never find. We are always happy to share this — just ask.
We particularly enjoy hosting guests who want to experience Zakynthos properly rather than just sit by a pool for a week. Not that there is anything wrong with sitting by this pool — we do it ourselves whenever we get the chance. But the island has layers, and we love helping guests find them.
What we ask in return is simple: treat the villa as you would your own home. It has been built and maintained with a lot of love, and the guests who enjoy it most are always the ones who feel that and respect it in kind.

Why they chose this property

We chose this hillside above the Bay of Laganas for one reason above all others: the view. From up here, you can see the entire sweep of the southern coastline of Zakynthos — the deep blue of the Ionian, the curve of the bay, the green hills rolling down to the sea. It never gets old. Guests tell us they spend hours just sitting on the veranda watching the light change.
What we love most is the contrast the location offers. You are completely removed from the noise and bustle down below — up on the hill, all you hear is birdsong and the breeze through the olive trees. Yet within a few minutes you can be at a quiet beach, a family-run taverna serving fresh-caught fish, or the edge of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, where loggerhead sea turtles come ashore to nest each summer. Watching a sea turtle in the wild, on a protected beach at dusk, is one of those experiences that stays with you.
The south of Zakynthos is also perfectly placed for exploring the rest of the island. Navagio — the famous Shipwreck Beach — is an hour's drive north and absolutely worth it. The island's vineyards, the Byzantine museum in Zakynthos Town, the boat trips through the sea caves — there is always something to do, but never any pressure to do it. Most of our guests tell us they end up spending far more time at the villa than they planned. That's exactly what we hoped for when we built it.

What makes this property unique

Buena Vista Villa sits on one of the highest points in the area, and that elevation is what makes it truly different. Most villas in Zakynthos are set in flat, enclosed plots — you have your pool, your garden wall, and not much else to look at. Here, the land drops away in front of you and the entire southern coastline of the island opens up. The 180-degree view from the pool is the kind of thing that makes guests go quiet when they first see it.
The pool itself is larger than most — 9 metres long, properly sized for adults who want to actually swim rather than just cool off. The pool area faces west, which means late afternoons and sundowners by the water with the sun setting directly over the Ionian Sea.
The villa is also one of the very few properties in Zakynthos sitting within minutes of the National Marine Park — home to the largest nesting population of loggerhead sea turtles in the Mediterranean. Between June and August, guided dusk visits to watch turtles coming ashore to nest are bookable locally and are genuinely unforgettable.
And then there is the quiet. The hilltop position means that despite being close to everything — beaches, tavernas, the ferry, the airport — the villa exists in its own world. No road noise, no neighbours visible, no sense of being in a resort. Just the view, the pool, the breeze, and the sound of the island doing what it has always done.
