We were charmed from the minute we clapped eyes on the dazzling sea vistas and countless sun-kissed terraces of this newly renovated villa. Perched high in the hillsides of Paxos and just a five-minute drive from the laid-back shores and authentic tavernas of Gaios, it's a postcard-perfect setting. Sunny mornings call for bobbing about that glorious infinity pool surrounded by fragrant mature gardens. Then get together beneath the shade of the pergola for a lazy tapas lunch and drink up the shimmering sea views (and perhaps a glass of crisp retsina). If you fancy a post-lunch slumber with a good book (who wouldn't?), there are so many quiet seating nooks we've frankly lost count. Or take things inside to the light-filled living room united by breeze-fresh interiors and crash out on the modular sofa – those sea views will still be right there with you. While over in the three restful bedrooms bringing all the chic beach-house style, each room is as serene and immaculate as the next and all offer en-suite bathrooms for an added sense of privacy. Ready to dip your toes into island life? Then pack up your beach bags for a morning along the shores of Gaios, just... a five-minute drive away. Or set sail on an adventure with a charter speedboat (no license required) to search out the island's startlingly turquoise bays – just like you've been dreaming of.

About Paxi
Just south of Corfu, the island of Paxi (or Paxoi) is cast out in the Ionian Sea. It’s the smallest of the Ionian Islands, and you won’t find a city or even town on this speck of land, but rather three distinct fishing villages that hug the coast.
