Sea View Village

We’ve just returned from a wonderful ten days in this idyllic hotel, we had the duplex two bedroom apartment and it was perfect for myself, my wife and my teenage son. The view from the room of the ocean, the pool and the pine forest was just amazing, all of the staff were fantastic and very helpful and Maria the owner should be very proud of them all. The whole of the hotel and the wonderful pool are absolutely spotles, there is no bother getting a sunbed at anytime, and a special mention has to go to the fantastic Greek breakfast served in the stunning restaurant, especially the rice pudding and fig marmalade. We loved the sounds of the owls at night and the rooster in the morning, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return, highly recommend.

Beautiful location in the hills. Best view we have ever had from a balcony, stunning. So you have all the information (as we did not): The beach, Porto Kaminia, is across a busy main road and down a very steep, windy road. The hotel only runs a shuttle at 11am and then back at 4pm. Trying to walk up that steep road at the end of the day, in heat would be very hard indeed. Also the hotel is up a very steep track from the road. The air-con is 15 euros extra each day. Safe is free but you have to ask for a key. There is also tax at an extra 10 euros per day. Rooms are nice but no soundproofing at all and you can hear other guests, especially as in our room there was a piece of plywood in what used to be a door? Balconies close together, so you can also hear other guests. Rooms could do with an update. The hotel bar is very quiet at night. They provide towels for the pool but take your own beach towels. The Taverna Florida along the road towards Argasi is amazing. It would be very dangerous to walk along the main road where there is no pavement, so walking to Argassi not possible. Hope that helps.

We stayed at the Sea View Village Zakynthos for 5 nights and it was the best hotel experience our group had ever had. Every single member of the staff went above and beyond to provide service to us. Maria the owner is the sweetest most caring lady who made sure we were accommodated for at all times. The bar staff, restaurant staff and breakfast staff were warm and constantly asking in a genuine way if there was anything they could do to further help our stay. You can really tell these employees care as every guest was so comfortable having long conversations them - we could’ve talked to Mark for hours! Our highlight of the stay however would have to be the Greek dance night we participated in on Sunday night. They bring in traditional dancers who perform and then teach you how to dance. It was the best environment with all the village guests dancing as well as the staff - it felt like a genuine Greek experience. On top of this we got fed a fractional Greek dinner before hand with a buffet of souvlaki 1000/10. As promised in their name the view was fantastic and you could even see the main land of Greece! The pool was another highlight for the warm summer days as they had comfy sun beds and umbrellas for shade! We also had lunch by the pool a couple days which was amazing. I would highly recommend staying here if you’re after a traditional Greek accommodation as well as a welcoming experience with the most amazing staff!! Thankyou so much sea view village for everything especially Maria 😇😇😇

Maria is very proud of her beautiful “village” - and rightly so. Everything is quality - exceptionally clean and tidy. Our accommodation large and airy with stunning views through the pines to the bluest of blue sea. A truly peaceful haven set in the hills - the only noise we became aware of was the chirping cicadas in the trees and the cock crowing in the morning. A generous buffet style breakfast taken in the restaurant or sitting on the surrounding veranda provided a variety of local produce including the delicious village bread, thyme honey and local biscuits…..and Greek Coffee! We enjoyed a couple of dinners in the restaurant where the seasonal menu changed daily with some rather good local wines. Maria hosted a “Greek Night” which was good fun, plenty of freshly prepared meats, salad, potato and flatbread. Local musicians and dancers entertained us before being eagerly encouraged to join in. A good night was had by all. The pool and surrounding area again, pristine clean. Plenty of sunbeds with towels provided. An array of drinks available and snacks from the pool bar provided refreshments required and a daily “Happy Hour” gave the opportunity to try the “barman’s special cocktail” . Sea Village is happy, happy place - all the staff, smiling, chatty and accommodating. A daily transfer down to Kaminia Bay is offered - a peaceful beachside location with safe shelving swimming area and a choice of two bars providing sun beds on grassy tranquil areas. Within the vicinity of the village is a local well stocked supermarket and three tavernas which were all equally good. There is a local bus - limited timings but it got us into Zante Town and back. All in all we just couldn’t fault anything and would gladly recommend and hopefully return. We thank you all for your kindness making our holiday on Zante so memorable.

This ultra-charming hotel is an absolute must-visit. You are welcomed with open arms, and the whole staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Rooms are immaculate and the breakfast is amazing. Just perfect!"
