“It was paradise, we felt so at home and can’t wait to return!”
We loved how private the villa felt despite other people being around it felt like our own sanctuary! Having a private beach with gorgeous views.

“Paradies”
Where do we even begin… This place is heaven on earth. The area is huge and offers a lot of space and so many cute spots. The private sea access is the most beautiful on the entire island. We found a new place to relax on the property every day. The apartment is truly fully equipped, and we lacked nothing. The hostess even welcomed us with delicious fruit, bread, olive oil, etc. The hostess Dimitra and her husband Nico were the best and most welcoming hosts we could have imagined. They are so warm, loving, and friendly. All the staff on site were also always so nice and welcoming. We found our paradise, and it's called Lithalona Villas & Houses. We'll be definitely back soon :)

“Absolutely wonderful!”
We loved everything about our stay at Lithalona Villas. The accommodation is thoughtfully designed and very comfortable, the location is unbeatable, and Dimitra’s warmth and generosity as a host are honestly unmatched. We don’t usually return to a place twice, but this was our second visit and we’re already planning a third. Lithalona Villas is a true gem and if you have any doubts about visiting, don’t - you won’t regret it.

“A small heaven in Zakynthos”
The amazing natural setup, which is both respected and made even more prominent by hosts. Facilities are matching the awesome scene, very clean and cared for. Tip the small balkonies over the sea, allowing to enjoy serene views. Beautiful gardens, with attention to their every detail. Professional still sincerely warm hospitality by remarkable Dimitra and staff! All in all, well-balanced atmosphere for relaxation and excellent people making you feel at home. The direct access to a beautiful beach complements a 'small-heaven' sense.

“A paradise, an oasis.”
It’s simply a paradise. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings that offer so much calmness and relaxation. All you can hear are the crickets and other nature sounds. There are so many nice places on the garden where you can sit down and relax and enjoy the view. The sea is just wonderful, perfect temperature and we spent so much time there just floating in the water and enjoying the tranquillity it offered. We even spotted a turtle there! It was just swimming around us and coming up for air. It was just wonderful. We went swimming in the water at least 2-3 times a day. The house itself is wonderful and has everything you can need. And we really liked how private it was. Dimitra is the most wonderful host, so sweet and attentive and always willing to offer advice on where to go and what to see. Truly a unique host. We also highly recommend the nearby restaurants. Especially the Votsalo Taverna, wonderful food and amazing views. We went there four times during our visit. Also the Morocco Café which is really nice and the Marathia Star. We both hope we get the chance to return to Lithalona Villas in the future. And we highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Zakynthos. We already miss being there.

“Overall a perfect experience away from the crowds with a an absolute superhost.”
What a great stay at Lithalona, meeting Dimitra and her husband. If you are wondering what „superhost“ means, stay here and you will find out. From best restaurants, wines and places to explore on the island, Dimitra knows them all. Thank you so much! The very private and clean, secluded houses with a small private beach, really feel like your own staying there. This place is the perfect stay when you are looking to relax and have a cosy little hideaway from all the other island trouble.

Wonderful location in the south of Zakynthos with amazing views of ‘Turtle Island’. The property is very private and secluded and really allowed us to disconnect and recharge. It was a dream to be surrounded by nature with direct access to a beautiful beach. Dimitra and Nicholas were very attentive, friendly and kind. The villa we stayed in was clean, modern and comfortable. A bonus: the location attracts really interesting people from all over the world - we made some great friends during our stay. We will definitely be back!

“A magical place to relax and recharge”
Absolutely everything. The accommodation is the perfect place if you are looking for relaxation, winding down, crystal clear water, quiet corners and an exclusive ambience. The property is as beautiful as in the pictures, or rather much more beautiful. The accommodation is minimalistically furnished with high quality furniture and offers a very comfortable bed. Bathrooms and kitchen are also of high quality and caters to all needs. Everything is super clean and makes it a luxurious stay. You will immediately settle in.

“Quiet, peaceful, beautiful location with a private beach”
Dimitra and Nicholas were wonderful hosts. We arrived very late since our flight was delayed, but they stayed up to wait for us and show us around. As many other reviews have said, we also received a loaf of bread, homemade jam, olives, fresh fruit and veggies, and water to help us begin our stay. There were also basic condiments available in the kitchen, and we had all the equipment we needed to make our own breakfasts and more every day. The grounds are massive and there are multiple comfortable nooks to hide away in with a book or just relax and look at the water. There is an amazing view of the island and they have their own private beach right on the sulfur springs (it's a little brisk getting in because of this!). They were extremely responsive to all our questions and everything was kept extremely clean and tidy. We were traveling with a 9 month old baby and they were also able to provide a pack n play for us. The A/C worked well and the shower was amazing. There are a couple good restaurants 1-5 minutes walking distance so you really never have to leave if you don't want to!

“Truly exceptional, memorable and beautiful”
Now I know what 10 out of 10 actually is, I will never rank a property that high again - this sets a new standard for me, and my adult son, though less well travelled than I am. The location and facilities are superb, with private access to swimming areas and a small public pebble beach - pristine waters. The hosts Dimitra and Nikos are truly genuine and caring, intelligent people who respect the environment and promote local produce and sustainable experiences, including everything provided as welcome gifts to parting gifts, and recommendations for the island. Every villa is stunning, spacious, clean. Of course, fully functioning kitchens, AC, showers etc.. Every detail in every villa is gorgeous and tasteful - I think I have found the sculptor of some 'hanging fish' in one villa. There is privacy, yet conviviality if you seek it. There are private and shared spaces for every time of day for every villa with gorgeous views everywhere - from sunrise to sunset. The extensive gardens are superb, with olive, apricot and plum trees to name just a few. All the staff are friendly and go over above and beyond - from the cleaning lady to the gardener. It's nice to know that everyone talks to one another - so it is a seamless experience - built on communication and true customer service. About the location - there is an excellent restaurant just outside the access gate, and a café during peak season 50 meter's away, and another restaurant which we didn't try only a few hundred meter's away. It is a little away from the overly 'touristified' areas of Zakynthos/Zante a bit overwhelmed with 'clubbers', which we did not enjoy that much. The tips from our hosts for restaurants and activities were spot on. We did most of them, and all were excellent. For me, this was a healing stay, and we extended our stay for an extra five nights - so 12 days!

I would give 10 stars if possible for Dimitra and the Lithalona Villas & Houses. This is the best stay you can ever find. Dimitra, the host is kind and incredibly friendly. My husband got sick right after we have arrived. Dimitra gave us medicines, number for a taxi driver, showed us where to go if emergency occurred. Luckily we didn’t need it, and could enjoy this wonderful apartment. It is clean and tidy, very private, silent. Has two private beaches and a huge garden with multiple terraces to sit outside and enjoy the view. (Our apartment had 4 private terry-like places to sit). Dimitra offered us a boat trip with someone she knows. That’s how we saw a turtle and could swim in the sea beside the beach area. I would spend here months! Do not hesitate to spend your holiday here. I guarantee it’s the best option you’ll ever find!

“Best stay in Zakynthos with a wonderful host.”
This accomodation has the best host/owner we ever had. Dimitra is not only taking care of her guests but also making them aware what to visit over the island - sightseeing as well as acitivties. She's the person that makes this the perfect place. Check-In was very easy - ringing at the door although we were a little earlier than agreed. We had a spot for the car and felt very save on the whole area as there is only a few options to get onto the property. The appartments have been renovated recently (during COVID) and are therefore in perfect shape. The view to the Marathonísi Island enlightend us every day from breakfast until dawn and even in the night you are able to see it when there is a little more moonlight. Direct access to the beach is given, to your own private one (shared with other appartments) as well as the public beach next - that is actually seperated by big stones, so you dont hear or see much of that.

This is the best vacation of all the times that we have been to Greece. Dimitra is a great, friendly, always ready to help hostess. The house has absolutely everything you need and it is very clean and cozy . Well, the place is a small paradise, a huge well-kept garden with many private places where you can feel alone with the sea and nature. It's a pity that you can't put a score higher than ten. We will definitely be back, thanks Dimitra and Nicholas

“It was a great experience, we look forward to stay here again”
The host, Dimitra, was very kind. She gave us clear instructions on how to reach the villa by car or boat. She met us at the villas and handed over the keys, and then she spent some time with us showing around. The villa is very cozy and it has a private beach, which is absolutely wonderful. It's the perfect place to watch the sunrise. Dimitra is very helpful, so just ask her for anything. She gave us recommendations, she was very welcoming, providing us locally made goods at our arrival.

“Very nice and private stay with the best hosts”
I would give rating of 11 if that would be possible :) Dimitra and Nicholas made our stay perfect, we've never had such hospitable hosts before who supplied us with everything we could even imagine and surprised us with even more. Lithalona is very private place, has a private entrance to the sea where you can swim, do snorkeling etc. We were lucky to spot a sea turtle nearby while snorkeling - a really breath taking experience. I do really recommend to stay here.

We spent a week at Lithalona villas earlier this month, and can honestly say it was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. The grounds, beach, and villas are all faultless - but it’s our wonderful host that really made our holiday unforgettable. Dimitra is a generous, friendly and endlessly-helpful host. She told us all about the amazing things the island has to offer and got it right every time; helping us plan days around where to visit, and what restaurants to end up in the evening. The grounds are stunningly landscaped, with cute little seating areas hidden in various nooks (with great views). The beach is gorgeous - a semi-private area with loungers that slopes into crystal clear water (head down for amazing sunrises), and a larger beach just the other side. The villas are clean, peaceful and, again, wonderfully-designed and decorated. Ours had a great patio area with an outdoor shower and loungers in the shade of a tree. To wrap things up, this is the place to go for quiet and relaxing holidays. Even if you don’t want to venture out and visit the stunning places Zakynthos has to offer, Lithalona is somewhere you could happily stay in for your entire holiday.
