A charming, spacious summer house with pool and gorgeous views.
Panayia View, named after the little island it overlooks, sits in a tranquil position amidst a garden of olive groves. It offers airy, flexible interiors, plenty of panoramic terraces, a peaceful ambience and a lovely pool, all within a short walk of the tavernas, bars, harbour, beach and gentle bustle of Gaios Town. The best of both worlds.
Inside: accommodation at Panayia is spread over a main house, a guesthouse and two independently accessed bedrooms.
In the main house, a few steps lead down from the front door into an open-plan living and dining area, whose white-painted walls, lofty beamed ceilings and large sliding glass doors opening onto a panoramic sea-view terrace, all make for a bright, airy atmosphere. One half of the room is given over to a corner sitting area, the other to a dining table. Wherever you sit, the views over the olive groves to the island of Panayia and out to sea are gorgeous. At the back of this space, a few steps leads up to an attractive open kitchen overlooking the communal area.
A few steps at either end of the living-dining area lead to the bedrooms. To the right is the soothing main bedroom, complete with en-suite shower room and access to a terrace with outdoor shower. To the left are two shower rooms and two bedrooms, a double-twin and a quadruple (with twin beds and a bunk bed), both with their own access to a lovely terrace with a table tennis table.
The remaining accommodation at Panayia View - a guesthouse and two independently accessed bedrooms - are accessed via a couple of paths running above and below the gardens from main house.
The guesthouse comprises large, open-plan, split-level space with high, white-beamed ceilings and banks of large sliding glass doors. From the dining table a few steps lead down to a sitting room and kitchen, off which is a small shower room. Stairs lead up to the first floor, where there is a double bedroom with garden views and an en-suite shower room.
A few steps away from the guesthouse, and sharing its furnished sea-view terrace, is one of the two independently accessed twin bedrooms. The second is reached via a path running below the main terrace. Both have en-suite shower rooms.
Outside: Panayia View's gardens stretch all along the front of the property and overlook the olive groves, the sea, Panayia Island and, in the distance, the Greek mainland.
Outside the main house is a fabulous sea-view terrace, partly shaded by olive trees. Other terraces on either side of the main house are accessed from the bedrooms and ensure that there is plenty of space for everyone to find their own perfect spot.
A rosemary, lavender, agapanthus and cactus-lined path leads from the main house's front terrace both left and right. Head right and down a few steps and you come to the lovely pool area, encircled by whispering olive trees. Head left and you'll soon come to the guesthouse and one of the independent twin bedrooms, which are served by their own fully furnished sea-view terrace.
Due to the relatively limited number of hydrofoil/ferry connections between Corfu and Paxos in the shoulder seasons, we recommend arriving in Corfu by midday or, alternatively, adding a night in Corfu town the day before and/or after your time in Paxos.
The access to Panayia View includes around 500m of unpaved road.
Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.
You may also wish to know that the pool has a single depth of 1.6m.
