Villa Maritsa is the perfect option for a family holiday on Paxos, offering privacy, extensive terraces, a large pool with sea views and comfortable accommodation for up to six guests. The owner, Maritsa, is very proud of her villa and ensures that this property is well cared for.
Ideally situated in the centre of the island, the villa sits between the villages of Fontana and Magazia, both of which are within walking distance and have a choice of several excellent tavernas, traditional Kafenia, a bakery and a mini-market.
Villa Maritsa has a bright, open-plan living area with a separate dining area that is suitable for six, there is a fully-equipped kitchen where you can create anything from a simple Greek salad to a full meal for all the family. The focus of the room is a lovely traditional stone fireplace with comfortable sofas for you to relax in.
Upstairs you'll find three air-conditioned bedrooms. Both twin bedrooms have French windows that open out onto a large roof terrace with great views across the olive groves to the sea. There is a bathroom with shower on the ground floor and another large bathroom with shower on the first floor.
You'll fall in love with this charming villa as you spend lazy afternoons sunning yourself on the private terraces among roses and flowering shrubs. During the heat of the day mature trees offer shady spots, or cool off by taking a dip in the large 10m x 5m swimming pool. Come the evening there is a stone-built barbecue and a hardwood table and six chairs for al fresco dining.

Located in the centre of the island, Magazia is a small hamlet which offers a mini-market, a bakery, a cafenio and a taverna.
Magazia is a good location to explore the island including the beaches on the east coast and the wild scenery of the west coast.
A second mini-market and another taverna is available in the tiny hamlet of Fontana which is approximately 900m from Magazia. The pretty hamlet of Fontana has a lovely old church and offers several walking routes to explore.
Paxos is a tiny gem that lies in the Ionian Sea just an hour's hydrofoil trip from its larger neighbour Corfu. With no direct flights, this island of pretty harbours and undiscovered coves is delightfully laid-back and off-the-beaten-track.
Gaios is the island town, main harbour and centre of island life. Harbour-side tavernas greet arriving visitors but are well worth a return visit during your stay. Loggos is a pretty village harbour just a 10 minute taxi ride from Gaios and home to several of our Paxos villas and apartments. Perhaps the best way to explore this island is by small boat - simply potter along the shoreline to find your own idyllic cove.
