Watching the yachts glide across the horizon from the sun-kissed terraces and infinity pool of this charming Paxi island villa is a moment to treasure, folks. Perched high in the forested hillsides and just a five-minute stroll from the beach of Kakilangatha, only birdsong and cicada chatter could disturb you here. Soak up the next-level sea views from the glorious infinity pool and stylish terraces. Sneak away to the shady pergola with a good book for some quiet reflection. Then gather together for a Mediterranean feast beneath star-lit skies on the alfresco dining terrace. The twinkling lights of the mountain villages on the mainland beyond will bring all the ambience. Stepping inside, bold nautical stripes and elegant maritime artefacts remind you the coast is never far away. While the rest of the home is gloriously muted and pared back, with rustic touches and exposed stonework in the serene bedrooms perfectly echoing the laidback charms of this chilled isle. When it's time to soak up island life, follow the ancient goat paths to your local beach, just five minutes downhill. Hop in the car to the sleepy village of Fontana with its authentic tavernas (just a five-minute drive away) or, just a smidge further,... Loggos (a ten-minute drive). Its café bars, shops and boat hirers for a jaunt along the glistening bays is an afternoon well spent.

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.
