Kookis Village

We had a wonderful time at Kookis Villas. Antonis, Nicky and the team work so hard with a smile. The villa and surrounding areas are spotless. Fabulous aircon. Huge, comfy bed. The breakfast that we collected from reception and took back to the villa was varied and delicious. Easy walk to the beach, a choice of restaurants and a nice bar for casual drinks too. A car is a must if you want to easily get about and see the island. We loved seeing the turtle in the port nearby but was sad to hear that excursion boats chase them and do so much harm. We hired our own little boat instead and made sure we didn’t cause the turtles any stress! Thank you to the team for a fabulous stay. We will return!

This is our happy place.This is our 9th visit and we will be back. It is still as special and wonderful as when we 1st came. Villas are lovely, clean, comfy and the pool is awesome. The owners are super helpful and all the staff are wonderful too. A perfect location to chill and unwind. Close to fabulous places to eat too. All just perfect..roll on next year.

Very clean, proper, well maintained houses with private terrass and pool in quiet surrounding, but very nearby centre and sea, where you can rent a boat or go on a trip . At the house, all you need available, including pool, good, silent airco, kitchen, etc. Great host welcomed us and make you feel more than welcome. Breakfast was super with on the balcony nice view. All with all a super experience! Thank you Antonis, at Kookis Village.

I can’t begin to explain the tranquility of Kookis Village and just how amazing the staff are. Athena and Nico were friendly and attentive and set out our breakfast each morning on the balcony. We had bed and breakfast but have an autistic son who is a fussy eater - I told them to just serve breakfast for 2 as not to waste anything but they made him little pizzas each morning, they will never know how much this act of kindness means! This was above and beyond. The villa is cleaned daily - another amazing gesture as usually villas offer a couple of times per week. All the families around were respectful of each other and there was no excessive noise or loud music. First time to Zante and will return.

1st time back after the pandemic .. this is our 6th visit. It’s amazing. It is still wonderful. I was worried that after 2 yrs away I may have been remembering this place through *rose coloured glasses*..I need not have worried..it is still a wonderful place we both feel rested and have had the best holiday.. Yes there are cats ( I am allergic) ..have a water bottle to hand and this always deters them . Athena and Maria work hard daily cleaning your room and towels and bedding are changed every 3 days or so . They are always cheerful. If you have a breakfast with your holiday … these are a feast and set you up for the day. So glad to have been back to our happy place .. a really wonderful relaxing comfortable clean gem of a location. Antonis and his staff are always helpful ( oh yes our pump for the pool broke ,.. all fixed within 24hrs and all was good ) and always pleasant. This was a special place for us ,,, would always recommend and always go back. Can’t wait for next year.

These 7 lovely villas are located on the edge of a small, quiet harbour resort away from the bars and other noisy attractions that can be found in the larger resorts in Zante. The villas are homely, spotlessly clean, with a comfortable bed, a covered veranda to relax on and a small refreshing pool to sit beside and take a swim when the heat turns up. Breakfast is the feast, as commented by others, meticulously set out on your veranda. A special thanks to Nik and especially Athena for their cheerful "kalimera" and "kalo proino" along with a few other greek sayings Athena tried to teach us during our stay. Everyone at Kookis Village, both family and staff, were so welcoming and polite and do a great job in attending to the villas, gardens and the guests. One example being that we mentioned it was a special anniversary the following day and Nicky suprised us with a delicious chocolate cake with '40 happy years' iced on the top along with candles and a sparkler. There were also flowers from their garden and many good wishes from everyone. It was so thoughtful and made our day! The villas are about a ten minute walk to Keri Limni with its small harbour, beach and a selection of tavernas/restaurants looking out towards 'Turtle Island'. When we visited, it was the perfect place if you want a relaxing holiday. Yes, there are stray cats (who looked particularly healthy on the scraps provided by the guests), and they do tend to congregate around the verandas at breakfast. However, we didn't find them troublesome, although we tended to keep our front door shut in case one wandered in. Some other small and positive points, free air con in the lounge and bedrooms, free security safe and free parking outside under the olive trees opposite. Also, fly screens to the windows (including the bathrooms, bedroom and kitchen) meant we could keep the windows open without the fear of letting in flies etc. Towels were offered to be changed every day, and the beds changed every three days. The only thing that did go wrong for us was that the pump for our pool stopped working, but this was rectified with a replacement within 24hours. A huge thanks to all at Kookis Village for making our special Anniversary extra special!
