St. John Villas Zakynthos

Our second time staying at St. John Villas, it is extremely restful & quiet, being on the hillside above Tsilivi itself. The trade-off for this is that there is a 10 minute walk down the hill to the town, which is pleasant enough - but not so pleasant making the return journey - the 8-10 euros for a taxi is a no-brainer! We had a couple of small issues with the villa which were dealt with immediately by the staff with no fuss.

We will definitely stay here again.

We have just finished our 3rd visit to St John’s villas. Always requested & stayed in the 3 bedroom orchid villa.

Excellent bedroom sizes, 3 bathrooms (2ensuite) amazing pool area.

Daily minimal housekeeping, change towels, remove rubbish & make beds etc.

Had an issue with the main en-suite bathroom as they have removed the Bath & replaced with a huge shower. Unfortunately the shower didn’t drain away at all and had to visit reception 3 times.

Visiting again at the end of October so hopefully they’ll manage to fix the drain!

Overall a fantastic holiday

Great holydays.

Stayed in a villa which was clean and spacious. Great location on the side of a hill. Food was amazing - both breakfasts and evening meals,
Staff were really friendly and helpful.

We stayed here in October 22 and decided to come back this year. Stayed in the same villa (orchid villa 3 bedroom, 3 bath)

Fantastic location overlooking the sea & approx 5-10 mins walk from lots of bars / restaurants/ tourists so very peaceful.

Location is up a steepish hill so bear in mind if mobility is limited. But good for the calves.

Great outside area, fantastic pool, lots of room and shaded areas if required.

Inside spacious, all 3 rooms are double, 2 upstairs both with en-suite. Bedroom downstairs with house bathroom
Next to it.

It could possibly do with a bit of loving inside, a few things starting to look a little worn.

Friendly and helpful staff!

I booked this whilst on Tsilivi for a treat for my wife and our daughter. The stay to a point was really nice, beautiful on site restaurant and views. However when checking out we noticed a lot of ants all over our daughters bed. She was in the upstairs room with the 2 singles, whilst my wife was in the upstairs room with the king size. This was In the Ivy Villa just beyond reception.

We took some pictures of the ants before I went to reception to talk to them. After the first person I spoke to almost dismissed it as ‘it’s not possible’ I asked for a manager and was told they would send housekeeping up. A lovely woman appeared and took me back on the golf cart.

She inspected the room / bed and noticed that there was still ants on the bed. We pulled the bed out but she could not locate the source of the ants. She radioed back to reception and another person appeared with insect spray and she sprayed down the back of the bed and apologised to us said they would be gone for us, not realising my wife was only staying 1 night.

I went to reception and was naturally unhappy about this, particularly that it was my 4y/o daughters bed. They apologised and offered their breakfast free (€30-35). I didn’t feel this was enough and when I got the 2 of them back to our holiday apartment in Tsilivi I emailed the hotel with the pictures to which they have not replied.

Concerns around cleanliness and customer management. I expected a LOT better.

Beautiful place! Highly recommend!

Nice spacious villa, pool area was lovely, kids loved the pool. Good views from terrace. Villa slightly dated inside not that well equipped in terms of utensils and glasses etc. Daily clean and plenty of clean shower and pool towels. On site restaurant was great amazing view and good menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mini market was handy for drinks / snacks but not stocked to cater for meals.
Resort is at the top of a steep hill which is a 10 mins from restaurants/bars/shops and 15 mins from beach fine going down quite tough coming back up especially in the heat and taxis not always available.
Overall we had a lovely relaxing stay.

Amazing experience, wonderful villa.

Sympathique séjour dans une villa tout confort située tout à proximité d' un champ d' oliviers. Un point à améliorer : pas de panneau indicateur au pied du chemin menant aux villas ( les commerçants alentours ne connaissent pas bien).
Belles terrasses dont l' une vue mer.

Heerlijke villas, fantastisch restaurant, super vriendelijk personeel en een prachtige locatie! Ontzettend genoten!!

Das ist keine 5 Sterneunterkunft. Bei der Ankunft haben wir ein Haus mit zerfallenem Verputz an den Wänden angetroffen. Pool war am Rand kaputt, Algen in den Abflussrinnen. Sehr sehr schlechtes Wlan mit stetigen Unterbrüchen.
Wir wurden auf Reklamation hin in ein anderes Haus umgesiedelt, welches etwas sauberer war; aber nicht viel besser. Man kann da ein Paar Tage bleiben, aber nicht zu diesem Preis. Ich wünsche von e-bookers eine Rückerstattung.

The garden/swimming pool was excellent. Plenty of sun beds and umbrellas as well as a BBQ.
The main building and restaurant were excellent and the staff very attentive.
The villa itself was disappointing, very tired and in need of some TLC.
The beds were Terrible.

Extrem freundliches Personal. Schnell und hilfsbereit.

Excellent place to stay very spacious and clean lots of luxury also staff was superb

We had a wonderful stay. The hotel personnel are very helpful. The area is quiet, the view from the terrace are breathless.

Great villas, very friendly staff. Extremely clean and tidy.
