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.

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.

About Paxi

Just south of Corfu, the island of Paxi (or Paxoi) is cast out in the Ionian Sea.
