About this property

Votsalo 1 - Alykes, Zakynthos

Votsalo is a seaside resort at Alykes bay in the Eastern part of Zakynthos. Driving through a wonderful olive grove you will find yourself in a quiet and peaceful spot where you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and at the same time the tranquillity of a private beach. The location is ideal due to a combination of desirable isolation and easy access to the fully equipped village center.


The votsalo resort is located at Alykes of Katastari. Alykes, which means salt lake, is known for the long coastline with beautiful, sandy beaches and warm, shallow, crystal clear waters. It is also one of the most well-organized areas of Zakynthos offering a plethora of exciting water sports, trips to the world famous shipwreck and blue caves, vibrant night life, delicious local food, carriage rides with horses, ideal for families and couples. The village center provides all kinds of services like supermarket, cafe, restaurants, pharmacies, public health center etc.

The votsalo resort is developed on two levels. The main building which is a semi-finished new construction lies on the upper level offering an amazing view where you are able to see the sun rising from the sea. At the lower level extends a 500 m² open space suitable for relaxation, reading, enjoying the sun and playing games. Sunbeds, umbrellas, beach tennis rackets, canoe kayak, masks for diving, wind surf and inflatable water toys are at your disposal. You will have the unique opportunity to experience the convenience of your almost private sea.

The apartment consists of two master bedrooms with double beds, a fully equipped open-plan kitchen and a bathroom. The place is accommodated with air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi access. Free parking and washing machine are also available.

Upon your arrival you will find the apartment with a clean set of bed linen for each bed and a clean set of towels (for body, face and feet) for each guest. You can clean the apartment by yourself since everything you need for cleaning is provided (broom, dustpan, mop etc). You will be provided with a clean set of bed linen and clean towels every five days. Please bring your own towel for the beach.


Zante's landscape variety provides a wonderful scenery of traditional villages in the mainland, where you can explore mediterranean architecture, wineries and extended olive groves. You can taste the local wines, raisins, oil, food and desserts. The Southeast part of the island is characterized by beautiful, sandy, well- organized beaches with warm, shallow waters, such as Gerakas beach (one of the last protected areas in the world for the Caretta-Caretta turtle), Banana beach, Azzuro beach, Alykes and Alykanas. In the northwestern part of Zante the ionian sea sculpts the edges of the island forming breathtaking beaches such as the world's famous Shipwreck Cove, the Blue Caves,Porto Limnionas and Porto Roxa.

Beautiful apartment
Apartment was clean and modern. Great kitchen and bathroom, powerful shower. Watched the sunrise most mornings. Seconds from the beach and shallow water. Kosta’s family were very friendly and accommodating and saw to our every need. Zakynthos is a stunning island we discovered so many beautiful places and the views were jaw dropping. Shoestring cafe bar is definitely worth a visit great food and views right by the beach. Lots of inflatables, canoes and airbeds free to use. Some really good local restaurants too. We loved it so much we are booking for next year and this will be the first time we have ever gone back to the same place it was perfect.

Idyllic
What a great spot. Perfect in every way. Extremely well priced with everything you want in a great location. We loved chilling out on the cabana bed, watching as our young children played in the shallow sea. We loved taking the kayak out, and all the sea toys. ‘Paradise’ was just 2 minutes walk away when we fancied the pool instead of the sea. Apollo Restaurant was fantastic. Recommend Fish Restaurant and Asteria Reataurant, they’re are great too. Pre-book sunbeds at Fish before you get there 😉.

Paradies! 💙
Wir haben eine Woche in dieser schönen Wohnung erlebt. Die Bilder entsprechen der Wahrheit und in echt ist es gefühlt noch schöner. Es sind wenige Schritte zum „eigenen Strand“ der allerdings aus Steinen besteht, was uns aber nicht gestört hat. Die Übergabe war unkompliziert und sehr nett. In der Umgebung gibt es alles was man braucht. Ein Mietwagen wäre von Vorteil. Fast alle Hotspots sind innerhalb von 30-40 min erreicht. Rundum war es perfekt! Macht weiter so, wir würden wiederkommen!

Perfekte Ferienwohnung
Wir können uns den positiven Bewertungen nur anschließen. Die Lage direkt am Meer ist perfekt. Die Wohnung war sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sauber, die Küche sehr gut ausgestattet. Der Vermieter und seine Familie waren äußerst hilfsbereit und gaben einem das Gefühl, wirklich willkommen zu sein. Unseren Kindern hat außerdem besonders gefallen, dass Kajaks, Bälle und diverse Plastiktiere vom Vermieter zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. Insgesamt eine Ferienwohnung,in der wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben und die wir uneingeschränkt empfehlen können.

Amazing holiday destination!
The reviews are all true...Votsalo really is as perfect as they say! Our whole trip, from start to finish was great. Kostas was excellent at communicating while we were booking and organising our holiday. We were welcomed so warmly by his family on arrival and the little extra touches were so appreciated. The apartment is beautiful and very well kept. The attention to detail makes it extra special. Votsalo is positioned just far enough out of Alykes village to make it lovely and peaceful, but close enough to walk in and enjoy the bars, restaurants and stock up on supplies at the small supermarkets. Having the beach at bottom of the garden was just gorgeous and we also enjoyed a couple of morning kayaking trips up the coast...so relaxing.

Thank you Kostas and family for making our stay truly wonderful, from the moment we arrived to when we left you made us feel at home and nothing was too much to ask. The accommodation is beautiful and so well equipped, the views are breathtaking it’s such a lovely spot in alykes, close enough to everything but not too close. We would definitely recommend here to anyone and can’t wait for our return trip

Traumhaft schön!
Die Fotos werden sowohl der Wohnung und Umgebung gerecht. Die Wohnung ist sehr gut und geschmackvoll ausgestattet. Zudem ist alles gepflegt und sehr sauber. Jedes Detail war erstklassig. Handtücher, Bettwäsche und Matratzen hochwertig und gut. Und nicht zuletzt ist noch hervorzuheben, dass Kostas und seine Familie uns einen herzlichen, freundlichen und sehr hilfsbereiten Empfang bereitet haben. Die Wohnung und die Vermieter kann ich sehr empfehlen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Tolle Lage, super nette Betreuung, rundum zufrieden!!!
Die Lage der Ferienwohnung direkt am Strand ist einfach toll. Ruhig gelegen und doch nicht weit zur Stadt Alykes, mit all ihrem Trubel. Die Familie von Kostas ist nur nett und freunlich und stets bemüht, ihren Gästen schönen Urlaub zu gewähren. Hier kann man sich erholen und ungestört relaxen. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und lliebevoll eingerichtet. Der Wäschewechsel ist regelmäßig und klappt immer. Es stehen kostenlos Sportgeräte, wie Kanus Paddelboot, Fahrräder ..., zur Verfügung!! Im Nachhinein noch einmal vielen Dank an Kostas und seine nette Familie.

A beautiful, tastefully decorated apartment
Votsalo 1 is situated in a peaceful part of Alykes, minutes from the town but enjoying peace and quite in its location. The apartment has two good sized bedrooms with excellent storage space - fully fitted wardrobes - not usually found in holiday apartments or hotels. Both rooms have very comfortable beds with crips white linens. The bathroom has a wonderful shower and is spotless - as is the rest of the property. The kitchen and living area is a delight! All newly fitted out with everything you could possibly need including a very snazzy oven. The attention to detail is first class. We enjoyed sitting on the patio (beautiful furniture, of course - chairs, table, loungers) for breakfast in the sunshine overlooking a garden and out to sea. Then again with a glass of wine in the evening as the sun was going down. Kostas' family was so very welcoming and we thank then very much for their kindness. It was also lovely to be greeted by Natalia, Kostas' friend who kindly gave us lots of information about the area to help us enjoy our stay in Alykes. Thank you to all. We hope to return soon!

A fantastic week in a lovely apartment, with amazing views, and a great location. Loved it!
The location was perfect, within 10 mins walking to the centre of Alykes, and handy for touring the rest of the island which we chose to do with quad bikes. The apartment has everything you need, with the bonus of a fantastic welcome and hospitality of Kostas" family. It was great to know that we could get information, and advice on our travels easily. The apartment is well equipped, great wifi! Comfortable and very modern. There is loads of room to relax on the sun beds provided on the terrace, and just take in the views around you of the mountains behind and the sea which is a few steps away. Whilst the beach is stony in a few steps you are into a shallow sandy bay. For us the location on the island was great as we went to visit villages in mountains and across the other side of the island easily on the quads, and in a short time. The garden area provides another alternative seating area with its swing bed, vines (with loads gorgeous grapes), and access to free inflatable toys, raft, balls etc to enjoy. We also borrowed the push bikes which again are provided for anyone's use, should you feel energetic enough. In summary we had a great time in Zante, and this was definitely on part due to where we stayed, and the Greek welcome we received. Thank you Kostas and family, we hope to return some day!

Fantástica situación . Frente al mar y en una zona tranquila.
Apartamento ideal. Muy limpio y con todo lo necesario. Kostas y su familia son muy amables y están pendientes de todos los detalles. Tienen a tu disposición tumbonas , colchonetas y flotadores para hacer tu estancia todavía más agradable . El mar es muy tranquilo y poco profundo. Caminando 5 minutos llegas a la zona de restaurantes y souvenirs .

appartamento nuovo e fresco, molto piacevole la terrazza con accesso diretto al mare cristallino
Soggiorno molto piacevole nelle due prime settimane di Luglio,descrizione corrispondente alla presentazione. Proprietari ospitali davvero gentili discreti e disponibili che ci hanno accolto con grande simpatia.Posto tranquillo.Molto godibili gli spazi circostanti,doccia, lettini, ombrelloni, canotti. Spiaggetta ghiaiosa, mare con fondo sabbioso che degrada dolcemente in acque limpide. Vacanza decisamente rilassante con aria di mare e di collina ma anche per la vicinanza ai servizi essenziali.Siamo rimaste molto soddisfatte del nostro soggiorno.Lucia
