Things to Know

Minimum stay 7 nights. Paxos is known for its stunning beaches which are mainly pebbly so packing some beach shoes is a good idea. Please note that the villa’s pool is ungated so younger ones should be monitored around it. Bath and pool towels are included in the rental, and there is a safe provided. There are 3 shower rooms but no bathtubs at the property. There is air conditioning in the bedrooms and WiFi throughout. Car hire can be included as part of the rental. There is parking available on-site but please note that there are 31 steps down to the villa from the parking area making it unsuitable for those with reduced mobility. The host’s concierge team can help arrange a variety of in-house extras such as chefs/catering, babysitting/childcare services, boat hire, pre-arrival fridge stock, airport transfers and taxi bookings. Please let them know at the time of booking.

About the Location

The villa is located on the northeast coast of the Greek island of Paxos, part of the pretty Ionian islands. Beautiful Monodendri beach is on the residence’s doorstep, a 5-minute walk downhill – just slightly longer on the return! It has 2 waterside tavernas serving up local lunches (they are not currently open for dinner but do serve evening drinks in the high season). The island is easy to get around by car with most towns and villages accessible in under 20 minutes. Bustling Lakka and Gaois are 5 minutes and 12 minutes away by car, while pretty and peaceful Loggos is a 5 minute drive, providing access to the sheltered bays of Marmari and Levrechio. Boat hire is a popular way to get around the island and is available at most of the ports. Journey out to Anti Paxos for the day for turquoise waters, sandy bays and more excellent tavernas. The closest international airport is Corfu 1 – 2 hours away from Paxos by hydrofoil/ferry and a 10 minute taxi ride between the Corfu International Airport (Ioannis Kapodistrias) and Corfu port.

Style Notes

Coastal rustic. Light, bright and contemporary, this airy hillside residence overlooks the azure Ionian Sea in all directions. Interiors and exteriors nod to traditional island design with whitewashed brick, warm woods and a generous use of natural stone throughout. Contemporary furnishings add chic, modern vibes alongside luxe textiles and linens. Large French doors and windows showcase the views from the living room and bedrooms, opening fully for seamless indoor/outdoor living. The terraces are simple but smart with shady chill out spots, sun drenched decks and alfresco dining, set off by a stylish infinity pool. We love the elevated beachside location, with pretty Monodendri bay below providing the ultimate idyllic swim spot, just minutes away.
