Delightful country villa, private pool, near sea , peaceful Skinaria , Zante.

Quiet and private with a beautiful garden and pool. The bench near the olive tree at the back on the house is my favourite place in Greece.

Excellent communication with George on the ground and the owner. Perfect spot for a 12 night stay. Really large outside space offering shade/pool and protection from extreme heat of the island. Highly recommended- thank you

Absolute perfection. Privacy, rustic charm, beautiful private pool. Could not have felt more comfortable and relaxed.

Spiti Martini is what you can describe as a cosy refurbished barn, set up in the hills with a sea view from the pool. It had all we needed for a wonderful peaceful holiday. We absolutely loved our stay. Well appointed for breakfasts and light lunch and plenty of wonderful restaurants to visit locally by car for suppers. Or a bbq for dinners. We took to the local restaurants as the evening option which there are lots to choose from with an array of price options. Our favourites were Micro Nisi, La Storia, Madrakia and Stinos. You can do boat hire at MN. We were a family of 4 (12 and 14)yo and 2 grandparents. Grandparents needed to sleep in the main en-suite due to steep stairs from the mezzanine floor to access the bathroom at night….children were in the twin and us on the mezzanine. The kitchen is quite small but perfectly adequate for our holiday. The outside area certainly more than made up for it. Martini boasts an amazing pool with so many different beautiful outdoor seating areas. Seeking sunshine / shade / views and peace. The host Martin and George the manager were great. Communication 5* Would highly recommend!

A well renovated traditional Greek cottage. Just beautiful. Calm, relaxing, beautiful outside spaces including a fab pool. Great for a family holiday or for escaping the world. Set in beautiful hills just a short drive to the beaches, tavernas and local villages. Captures the Greek Islands of old! Recommend to anyone. Great communication and information from the owners made the stay easy.

Absolutely loved our stay at Martin and Jane's other home. The gardens are magical and the photos don't do them justice, the pool was great - definitely big enough for all of us (6 inc 4 children from 5-14 years). Only slight niggle was it would have been great to have some comfier sunbeds. There are wasps and bees around the pool but they are definitely tolerable and you did get used to them quickly. They only come for water so they don't bother you. Inside the house is lovely. It's very rustic and traditional which is what we wanted. I prefer to stay in a place with the local charm over a very new home so I loved it. Beds are good. Main bed could be bigger but it was fine for 2 weeks. Kitchen is small but has what you need. We didn't find any issues at all with it at all. Ate under the gorgeous pergola most nights. The added table tennis table was a nice touch to the garden too. The location is lovely. Staying away from the south was a great choice as there are so many beautiful local beaches with much fewer tourists than down south. We drove down to some beaches and a Waterpark near the south of the island but it doesn't take long, 40 min or so. Just try and hire a car that can manage to get up hills! Definitely read the visitors book in the house, we left some details of some great places we visited and went to some that previous visitors had mentioned. Well worth it! Martin, thanks for having us and also for helping us with the car hire connection!

Such a peaceful, authentic home in delightful grounds. Perfectly private yet within easy reach of so many beaches and tavernas as long as you’re happy to drive a few miles each day. Awesome pool and spaces to relax, with all the facilities we needed. We’d highly recommend hiring a boat for a day to enjoy some of the swim spots and beaches only accessible from the sea!

We spent 5 wonderful days at Spiti Martini which felt more like the real Zakynthos. We were looking for a place that was out of the main hustle and bustle of Zante and we were so pleased as we climbed the mountains on the way north. After winding our way through the hills we arrived to find a wonderful charming property. The landscaping was lovely, and the house felt like it had been harmoniously built with the trees and shrubs of the area. The house was a perfect size for our family of four and a mix of traditional and modern. The AC kept us cool on warm nights, but there is also a lovely breeze that passes through at night. We loved cooling off in the beautiful pool after a day exploring the island/beaches. We took full advantage of the grill to make some meals we ate al fresco under the flowering vines, and other nights took advantage of many of the nearby restaurants. Martin and Jane were excellent hosts. They were so communicative prior to our arrival even sending us a map, directions, and lots of suggestions in the mail. They answered all our questions and you can tell how much they love their home away from home from the care they have taken to maintain it. We would recommend this to anyone looking for the quieter side of Zakynthos where you will see amazing views, have access to lots of beaches, access many of the smaller local villages selling crafts & food, and at the end of the day come home to an authentic well loved home.

The location of Spiti Martini is wonderful, quiet and very private but within a ten minute drive of local shops and great restaurants. The house has rustic charm but with modern conveniences such as wi-fi, air conditioning etc. The pool is utterly beautiful with wonderful far reaching views. There is a lovely bbq terrace. Spiti Martini exceeded our expectations and we will most certainly be returning

Spiti Martini is a truly wonderful property offering everything needed for a relaxing family holiday. The decor is lovely, with a great sitting room and shared space including a well-equipped kitchen area. The bedroom layout is perfect for a family stay. The garden and outside space are the real gems of the villa, set in the hills and with a view over the coast from the pool, it is gorgeous. We really enjoyed the olive grove and the kids loved the large and well-maintained pool, looked after by Vangelis and Georgios who were very helpful. Our whole experience of Zakinthos was no doubt improved through having a great base to return to in the afternoons while the recommendations on local tavernas led to some great local dishes and friendly people. Dealing with our hosts Martin and Jane was a pleasure and I can not recommend this more thoroughly!
