Villas and apartments in Tsilivi

Our family had a wonderful stay at Villa Olive - we were extremely pleased with the accommodation, spacious, comfortable, quiet, clean and well-equipped. Our children really enjoyed the pool, which was clean and very well maintained - also having good quality wifi was important. The villa is well placed for excellent beaches (short 5-10 minute drive) at Tsilivi and the small seaside town of Planos (full of excellent tavernas, shops, bars etc); a little further afield you have boat trips (turtle spotting and caves) from Laganas and you are not far from Zakynthos town - you will definitely have to hire a car during your stay. This villa is certainly an excellent base for exploring the south of the island - would strongly recommend.

A really great responsive service from the hospitality manager, Casa Alma - , as I have said , is beautiful - Were not quite so keen on Tsilivi itself , only in that it was more commercial than we were expecting but once wed realised that we could find some quieter restaurants/tavernas outside of the main drag , it was fine. I appreciated the whats app communication! We especially liked the fruit/wine and water that was there for our arrival - a very nice touch considering it was very late( 10pm and very hot!)

Ok, I've put off writing this review because I'm torn. The property was great, a few problems with electricity and the pool but between Simone and Costas ( who was a gem) they were sorted. I wouldn't recommend this property to a young family as it would be impossible to walk a buggy or young children into tsvili, it's much too dangerous. No foot paths and blind bends. A taxi one way is 6 or 7 euros, which can mount up over the course of your holiday. We had a ball with 3 teenagers, we loved the pool and watching the swallows in the evening. Zante, as a whole, has a major problem with rubbish as there's no door to door collections and refuse has to be taken to the skips along the road sides. Animals trail waste out and there is also fly tipping, which us a shame. People are lovely. Best restaurants were Damaras on the way into tsvili on the right, if you love meat and half way house in tsvili itself for a special night. Hope this helps. Pam xxx

Had few problems with pool lost Internet couple days. We had a car so basically it was a comfatable holiday it wouldn't have been so good if we didn't have the car it was quite a walk for village especially if returning home late on dark evenings after meals out. Bbq could do with some tlc not what we would call clean for cooking on
