Ibid - One Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 2

Perched on the side of a hill in the unspoilt countryside of northern Zakynthos, little Ibid is a charmingly styled, panoramic retreat offering peace, a heatable pool, seclusion, a magical atmosphere, and close proximity to a selection of beaches and tavernas. Whether you're planning an unforgettable honeymoon or simply a memorable escape with the one you love, Ibid is hard to beat.

Inside: accommodation at Ibid is all on one floor.

The main entrance takes one into a bright, airy open-concept space, where soft grey polished concrete flooring lays the foundations for the overall feel of the property. Cleverly, this material rises to create a curvaceous moulded frame for the kitchen's wooden cabinetry and, in the shower room, morphs into a surround and shelving for the sink. The same colour is found in the window and door frames, creating a pleasing homogeneity throughout the house.

To one side of the open-concept space is the kitchen, which features a breakfast bar with stools, while to the right is a comfortable sitting area with a sink-in sofa. A wall of sliding glass doors drinks in the fabulous views and allows a seamless flow into the gardens.

The double bedroom, which is accessed from the living area, comes with a stylish shower room, sea views and more sliding glass doors opening out onto a shaded sitting area.

Outside: Ibid's grounds are essentially a natural, subtly managed extension of the surrounding countryside. The open-concept living area and kitchen spill outside to where the evocative remains of a stone-built mill preside over the views. A dining table and a sitting area looking out to sea make this a well-used spot throughout the day.

Delimited by ancient dry-stone walls, the grounds offer up a variety of furnished spots for gazing at the views, sipping on a coffee or reclining in a hammock. This area also hosts a panoramic pool with glorious sea views.

The icing on the cake at Ibid, however, is its roof terrace, from where the views out to sea and over northeast Zakynthos are transformed from the spectacular into the sublime. Equipped with comfy loungers and a shaded dining area, this is an unbeatable location for sunset aperitifs and long romantic dinners under the moon and the stars.

Please note that, due to its location, there is no phone network at Ibid, and the internet network is slower than in many of our properties. While it does allow standard browsing, it is not adequate for online streaming or remote working.
