Introducing Kokkinochoma Slow Living Retreat
Born from red earth Once upon a time in the heart of Zakynthos, a handful of seeds were planted in the red soil of our family land, Kokkinóchoma. Slowly, the seeds grew into trees until they all blossomed into a plentiful orchard. Season after season, the reddish land blessed us with precious gifts—juicy fruits, fragrant herbs, colorful flowers, and the invaluable wisdom that life takes time. As we grew, that wisdom became our guiding light until the moment was ripe to pass it on.
Drenched in earthy glamour and sublime elegance, just 20’ minutes drive to Zakynthos Town, offering exquisite architecture, design, and privacy, where indulgent home comforts meet spaciousness and thriving wilderness. Perched in Lagopodo and just a 15 minutes drive from a sandy beach, a fusion of designer-led exteriors and authentic escapes combine at Kokkinochoma Slow Living Retreat. Moulded from earthen materials, this bespoke home features privacy among all. With a captivating pool, bespoke sun beds, iconic outdoor settings, fire pit & an outdoor signature kitchen with BBQ (Charcoal), this home has all the hallmarks of a unique hideout, but with a regional twist. Featuring 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 3 Living Room areas, 3 Kitchens, the architectural villa gem can comfortably welcome up to 12 guests to cherish a utopian holiday break with loved ones.
Slow living
The art of slow Slow living is about slowing down to live life moment by moment, listening to our inner sounds, restoring our natural rhythms, and tuning in with our surroundings and peers. It's the art of starting the day full of energy and laying to rest full of meaning. Slow living is about making time to care for ourselves and create unique memories with our loved ones. It's the natural way to enjoy the world around us with all our senses, enrich our experiences with authenticity and passion, and spend time savoring every little detail.
A few words from the Homeowner
More than a villa Inspired by our story and philosophy, we created Villa Kokkinóchoma to co-exist in harmony with its natural surroundings—the red-soiled land, the verdant gardens, the warm sunlight, and the azure Ionian sky. Natural and green materials, like eco-friendly cement and lime mortars, exquisite Greek marble, genuine wood, metal, and clay, have been used on surfaces, furnishings, fabrics, and decorations. Almost everything is colored in warm, earthy tones, evoking our familial land's calming, unobtrusive aura. The artfully designed accommodations are spread across 2 independent levels. Outside, the beautifully landscaped oasis features a shaded BBQ area, an outdoor lounge with a cozy fireplace, and an inviting saltwater pool for taking refreshing dips and basking under the Mediterranean sun. Villa Kokkinóchoma is more than a modern, high-end holiday residence. It is an ode to slow living, refined simplicity, and unassuming luxury where life flows naturally between seamless spaces, unique moments, and shared experiences.
