Overview
Description
The exquisite Villa Zephyros is named after the wind deity “Zephyros”, who in ancient times embodied the mild west wind and was worshipped as a harbinger of spring. No other name could be more appropriate for this beautiful villa that is nestled in the green valley of Pylaros, where a mild breeze from the western Myrtos Beach cools the air pleasantly in the afternoon, even on hot summer days. Sitting on the terrace, enjoying the rural idyll and the stunning views over the valley and the Ionian Sea is a joy. Villa Zephyros is the harbinger of an unforgettable holiday.This amazing villa has been built to a very high standard, exclusively designed and luxuriously furnished. In a living space of 210 sqm, it can accommodate 8-10 guests and is ideal for a large family holiday or a group of friends.
On the 1st floor there are 3 air-conditioned, individually decorated bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms (each with WC, shower) and hair dryer:
One double bedroom with a king size bed and French doors leading to a large covered terrace with amazing views over the valley of Pylaros, plus a second set of French doors leading to a balcony.
The second bedroom has a king size bed and the third bedroom has twin beds, which can be converted to a super king size bed. The second and third bedrooms share a large covered terrace with stunning views.
The fourth air-conditioned bedroom is on the pool level and has a double bed and French doors leading to the extensive pool area. (Due to safety reasons, it is strongly recommended that children do not sleep alone without an adult person in this room). This bedroom has its own separate wet room and separate WC.
On the ground floor there is a large superbly equipped kitchen – perfectly suitable for keen cooks – with adjacent dining area and smart TV, a stylish furnished living room with wood burning fire and a comfortable TV room with 35” plasma smart TV and sofa bed, which can accommodate 2 further guests. Two pairs of French doors lead from the living room to a large terrace with Moroccan style table and pergola with stunning views over the pool and the valley of Pylaros. There is also a guest WC and a laundry room with washing machine and dryer.
Next to the 4th bedroom on the pool level is the paradise for the little ones: their own playroom with children’s toys and games.
The highlight of Villa Zephyros is the large private swimming pool (11m x 5.5m) with a constant depth of 1.4m (heating available on request and at the extra cost of 110 €/day*), surrounded by a vast sunbathing terrace, a shaded dinging area with a table seating 10, a very well equipped pool side kitchen with two fridges, dishwasher, and a Weber mobile gas barbecue. Comfortable sun loungers invite you to relax or for the more active ones there is an outside table tennis provided. There are several seating areas providing both, sun and shade. The views are breathtaking either down the valley or over Agia Efimia to the sea and the Island of Ithaca.
The stunning Villa Zephyros benefits from its perfect location: secluded, peaceful, and private but within easy walking distance to the popular Agia Efimia with a large selection of friendly tavernas, cafés, bars, shops, bakeries, supermarkets, a good butcher also offering delicious local cheese specialities, boat and car rental, diving school. All this is a breath away from the villa. A car is only necessary for exploring the island, which is also worthwhile.

Fantastic place to stay
By Dee 's Girls Trip on 12-Sep-2026What a fantastic Villa in a beautiful setting. Beautiful views of the surrounding hills/ countryside and just a short 10 mins walk down to the lovely sea front with lots of bars and restaurants. We all loved our stay. The Villa is amazing. Clean, spacious and very well appointed. Can't fault it. We will definitely look to return!.

Wonderful!
By Laura and Andy on 23-Aug-2026The villa was ideal for our family. Great location, short walk to tavernas, supermarket, bakery and ice-cream shop. George was very friendly and attentive. The villas was beautiful and had everything we needed. The icing on the cake was the beautiful pool and outdoor space. We will return.

The most wonderful 2 weeks at Villa Zephyros
By Kerry H on 18-Jul-2026We have just returned from the most wonderful two weeks at Villa Zephyros. The villa is beautiful, nestled up on the hill from the lovely harbour of Agia Efimia. The villa has everything you could possibly need, and the large pool is perfect for cooling down on a hot summers day. We loved the outdoor kitchen. George was a wonderful host, and Katerina kept the villa spotless.There are some lovely restaurants in Agia Efimia to explore.
A truly memorable family holiday in a fantastic villa!
By Jane & Rob on 23-May-2026We had a wonderful time with our family of 9 (6 adults and our 3 grandchildren aged 7, 4 & 1). We were welcomed on arrival by lovely George who showed us all around the amazing Villa and made it clear he was always on hand if needed. He even brought a chocolate icecream cake for us all to enjoy on my birthday! A true gent, with a great sense of humour! The villa itself is so spacious, the photos do not do it justice. It was the most well equipped villa we have ever stayed in, we took a little milk frother but didn’t need to as they actually had one! All couples had their own bathrooms and even a playroom for the little ones which went down a treat. It was spotlessly clean throughout and the cleaner did a great job too. We all loved the huge pool, luckily we were able to pay for the pool to be heated a couple of days prior to our arrival, but the sun kept it warm for the rest of our stay. Plenty of room for lots of inflatables as well as all of us. We had a couple of barbecues and the outdoor kitchen was as well equipped as the main kitchen! We used the local butchers for meat and fish which was delicious. Table tennis tournaments kept us entertained too! Agia Efimia itself is stunning, a 10 minute walk into the village where there are lots of fabulous restaurants and the harbour. Carry on walking along the harbour to more fab tavernas, pretty little pebble beaches, beautiful clear blue sea and picture postcard views. There’s plenty to do if you want to sightsee. We didn’t have a car but taxis are readily available. We did hire a boat which was great fun and visited some little coves/beaches accessible only by boat. However, mostly we preferred to enjoy the beautiful local surroundings of the villa, pool and Agia Efimia. We enjoyed 11 magnificent days and would have no hesitation recommending. Just to add, prior to arrival communication back and forth to the agent Lida was first class, nothing was too much trouble. A great and truly memorable stay.. thank you.

We’re delighted to hear that your family enjoyed such a memorable stay. It’s wonderful to know that the villa’s spotless cleanliness, the work of our dedicated cleaner, and the exceptionally well‑equipped interiors made your holiday so comfortable. Guests also love the huge pool and the easy 10‑minute walk into Agia Efimia with its restaurants, shops and beautiful harbour — we’re glad these were highlights for you as well. A special thank‑you for your kind words about George; he truly enjoys being there for our guests whenever needed. It was a pleasure hosting you and we’d be delighted to welcome you back. Warm regards, Lida
