St. John Villas Zakynthos in Planos 291 00, open May–August.
St.
John Villas Zakynthos occupies a restored traditional stone property in Planos, originally built in the early 1900s as a family residence before being thoughtfully converted into a luxury hospitality venue.
The renovation preserved original architectural elements while introducing modern amenities, creating an authentic Ionian setting for ceremonies and receptions.
Guests enjoy panoramic views of olive groves and the Ionian Sea across 8+ acres of manicured grounds.
We booked the villas for 5 days. The fotos didnt match and it was definitely not 5 star worthy. Didnt allow us to cancel. We could stay at the suites for 2 nights which were nice, but then we left the Resort. Can not recommend the villas.
