A review of villa Dion Suite & Spa, Zakynthos (a sun holiday in Greece)

Dion Suite & Spa is an appealing villa with an interior style all of its own and a wellness corner. And this ‘mini resort’ makes a strategic base for visiting Zakynthos's finest sights.

Dion three times over

In our search for a suitable holiday place on Zakynthos we came across Dion Suite.

So as the travel editors of ‘dionvacation’ you end up at Dion Suite & Spa, owned by Dionusia… A delightful coincidence, but above all a pleasant aside.

The main thing, of course, was the accommodation itself. A villa with several facilities for an exceptionally comfortable stay.

Dion Suite & Spa: a light interior with plenty of white, and glass elements

• That comfort starts the moment you step inside. Thanks to the generous use of white and glass, the interior looks light, airy and transparent.
• From top to bottom various elements are made of glass. The coffee table in the upstairs sitting area, for instance, and the basin in the generous open-plan bedroom.
• The villa is pleasantly fresh, partly thanks to good ventilation and air conditioning. Rugs and cushions bring welcome balance to the coolly designed interiors.

Everything is there and everything has been thought of. If you are looking for a holiday place with space, ease and facilities, this is the one.

Room enough

When your editorial team consists of people who like to go their own way, space is essential. And Dion Suite & Spa has plenty of it.

With several sitting areas upstairs and down, indoors and out, everyone can relax on their own.

A sun holiday in Greece: a spa bath, a private infinity pool and your own loungers

Speaking of relaxing. Besides a terrace and a lounge corner you have a private infinity pool and your own sun loungers.

The infinity pool also has a waterfall you can switch on, rather good for your neck and shoulders.

Back inside? Diagonally opposite the bed is the spa bath, an inviting whirlpool with a little shelf for a tablet and tapas. Pure pleasure, this.

Dion Suite & Spa as a base for Zakynthos’s sights

Villa Dion Suite & Spa lies high in the north, towards the settlement of Agios Nikolaos. Relatively far from Zakynthos town, Argassi and the Keri “Lighthouse” Restaurant.

But nicely close to the boats to the Blue Caves and Navagio (Shipwreck Beach). Two top attractions we absolutely recommend.

The healing, exotic Xigia Sulfur Beach is nearby too. In short, as a ‘mini resort’ Dion Suite & Spa makes an excellent base for the northern sights.

One drawback: there is little in the area genuinely within walking distance. Which makes renting a quad no luxury.

A sun holiday in Greece: what Dion Suite & Spa costs

• For 2 people and 2 nights we paid a few hundred euros.
• That was probably a last-minute stroke of luck, as prices sometimes start at 1,000 euros.
• So keep a close eye on the price swings; who knows, you may land a bargain too.

You can book Dion Suite & Spa for 5 people if you like, thanks to the sofa beds. That makes the price easier to bear.

The dionvacation® verdict

Luxury, space and ease. All of it is welcome on a sun holiday. On the one hand the villa is somewhat remote; on the other the northern sights are close by.

Value for money can become a matter of debate when the price peaks. All in all we give this villa a 4.5 (out of 5).

Excellent for a few days; for variety you can book something on the south side afterwards.
