This oh-so-Greek cottage set back from the west coast of Paxi has charm and green shutters in spades. Nestled amongst olive groves as ancient as the hills surrounding them and with the deep blue Ionian Sea as your backdrop, its setting is sure to inspire.

Lose the hours and the day bobbing about your private infinity pool. Surrounded by extensive walled gardens and terraces tumbling with magenta bougainvillaea, it’s blissfully secluded here. Or pad across the cool, stone floors to head indoors to beat the heat with a reading marathon in the light-filled living space.

When it’s time to dip your toes into Paxi island life, the village of Magazia, complete with bustling tavernas, cafés, a supermarket, and an irresistible traditional bakery to pick up essentials, is just a twenty-minute stroll away. And for a hefty dose of sea air, the picture-postcard fishing villages of Loggos and Lakka, with crystal-clear waters for swimming and snorkelling, are only a ten-minute drive away. Just be sure to make it home in time for a sunset barbecue – the views are dazzling from your private terraces.
