We first visited the magical Greek island of Zakynthos for a short holiday in 1997. But the unspoilt beauty of this Ionian island was too much to resist for long.

Since that first sight of Zakynthos, we've gone on to build two enchanting villas on the island - Tramontana, Tal Hamsa and restored one - Xyloporta.

But the Dorman Villas story really starts well before we first came to Zakynthos.

We've always been keen skiers and our favourite resort soon became Zermatt .

The Apartment Pauline is part of the Haus Zayetta complex set in the the centre of Zermatt - ideal for summer and winter skiing holidays.
