The seating area has a smart L-shaped elephant grey sofa, which can be converted into a sofa bed for two, a wooden coffee table, and a sideboard, which is home to a flat-screen television. There is an elegant six-seater dining table and chairs, ideal for some impressive indoor entertaining. The light wood and stainless steel kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest appliances and gadgets you will need to cater for your holiday.

Slide open the doors of the living space and step out onto the tiled terrace. Take a dip in your own private, ladder-entry, infinity swimming pool. Cool off under the poolside solar-powered shower. Relax on the strategically positioned white cushioned, wooden sun loungers, with matching shady parasols. Take a seat on a squishy cushion and catch up with this summer’s best seller. As dusk falls, meet for cocktails under the garden gazebo.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AgaricusVilla Agaricus is set in nature, surrounded by olive groves, with a mountain backdrop, in the charming village of Agrilia, on the south coast of the Greek island of Zakynthos, in the Ionian Sea. The villa is only four and a half kilometres from Zakynthos International Airport, or island hop and arrives by ferry at the port of Agios Nikolaos. Local cafes and bars are within walking distance, and minimarts with provisions for your holiday, are a short drive away.
The villa is perfectly positioned between the busy resort town of Laganas, and the quiet secluded spot of Kalamaki, rated one of the best beaches on the island. Laganas is famous for its seafront shops, bars and restaurants, bike and boat hire, sandy shores and water sports, thermal springs and nesting turtles, and lively nightlife. A fifteen-minute drive will take you to the holiday hot spot of Tsilivi, with banks and supermarkets, cafes, bars, and restaurants, and a beautiful sandy beach. Have fun on the pedaloes, take to the water on jet skis, and the air with a spot of parasailing. Feel the beat at Zante’s famous Pure Beach Club, party all day to the vibes from their state-of-the-art sound system, and discover the delights of a Champagne Spray. Go north to the unique Navagio beach, with a shipwreck on shore, and accessible only by sea. The island is renowned for its excellent hiking, trek the local countryside to discover nature’s flora and fauna.
The main town of Zante is only five kilometres away, visit the Byzantine Museum, the church of Agios Markos with its imposing belfry, and the impressive church of St Dionysus, the patron saint of the island. Go on a guided walking tour from Solomos Square, and be impressed by the historic Venetian architecture. Shop in the souvenir stores, and sip an ouzo in a Greek music bouzouki bar, as you watch the world go by.
Take to the water with a catamaran tour around the coastline, join a day trip from Zante harbour, or hire your own private yacht complete with a captain. Southwest of the island is Keri Lake, a village that combines the sea, forests, valleys, and streams, and is abundantly rich in agriculture. Walk through the scented pine forests, pick grapes and olives in season, be amazed at the bouquet of natural wildflowers, take a boat trip to the Keri Caves, and then dine by the waterside.
The picture-perfect village of Bochali has an ancient Venetian castle with stunning sea, coast, and town views, and a tiny church, charmingly named Zoodos Pigi with beautiful Byzantine icons. Make sure you take a tour of one of the many vineyards across the island, sample the wine, and take a bottle or two home with you. You may be there for the Zante Carnival, inspired by the island’s Venetian heritage, the festival starts with drinking and dancing, and ends with eating cheese – need we say more!
