Prinos Villa (Paxos)

Description from the manager

Villa Prinos is a new three-bedroom property with broad outside terraces, a large swimming pool and panoramic sea views, located in a country setting between the villages of Magazia and Fontana. It is a perfect choice for those who seek the peace and quiet of a rural villa. The views over the west coast of Paxos and down to Anti-Paxos are breathtaking, and on a clear day you can see even as far as Lefkada and Kefalonia.

The villa has a marvellous range of outside areas, for dining, or lazing away the hours around the pool, or simply letting the pressures of life beyond this small island drain away. It’s a great place to do nothing!

... Tastefully updated by its artist owner, the property offers a very high standard of accommodation at a very reasonable price. The owner lives above the rental property but spends only a short time there during the summer. If she is in residence, she uses the back of the property and doesn't interfer with people's enjoyment of the gardens and pool.

The property consists of three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a lovely open plan kitchen/dining/living room. All the furnishings have been hand picked by the owner, whose artistic taste is reflected throughout the wonderful interior.

The nearest villages of Fontana and Magazia both have mini markets and tavernas and can be reached on foot in 10-15 minutes. A car would, however, be advisable at this property.Read more

Additional Location Information

Visitors to Paxos are always captivated by its picturesque simplicity and easy pace of life. A morning stroll to the baker for fresh, warm bread, then off in the boat, or on foot, for a relaxing day at the beach, back in the evening for dinner at one of the harbourside tavernas, and a romantic walk home beneath a sky of brilliant stars.
Paxos, the smallest of the Ionian islands, is an unflawed gem lying a short sea journey to the South of Corfu. Seven miles long by two miles wide, it can only be reached by sea and so is visited by relatively few tourists for most of the year. Only in peak season do the tavernas in Loggos, Lakka and Gaios, the three coastal villages, begin to fill as holidaying families coincide with Italian lovers of Paxos.
The island's east coast is dotted with small coves and bays whose warm, clear water is perfect for swimming and snorkeling, while its tiny sister island, Anti-Paxos, reached by fast sea taxi from Gaios, offers two of the finest sandy beaches in Europe. Inland, the hills are covered with olive trees, more than 200,000 of them, which produce one of the world's finest olive oils. Walk among the olive groves in May and June, before it grows too hot, and discover the old Paxos, where goats wander among abandoned stone houses, and the ground is carpeted with wild flowers.
Little has changed in Paxos over the years, thanks to careful control of tourism and development.

"This was our idea of the perfect Greek island holiday, with a chill factor of 100%! Good walking, fine beaches in easy reach on foot, a truly excellent variety (though not many in number) of bars and places to eat, a reliable bus service, interesting wildlife and entertaining boat trips."
