VILLA MARIA, LOWER APARTMENT

Villa Maria is one of a select group of private villas on Paxos which as well as having their own swimming pools enjoy the luxury of large gardens and terraces.  Maria is thus well suited to an arrangement where two self-contained apartments share the same facilities, since not only do the extensive gardens provide the feeling of space around the villa, but each apartment has its own separate terrace and outside seating facilities, as well as its own garden entrance. Only the pool and stone-built barbecue are shared.  

The lower apartment is reached through a gate from the Fontana-Loggos road below the house, the path leading through the lower garden to a paved terrace to the front of the accommodation. This terrace, furnished with a table and chairs, is 12 metres square, offering a spacious seating area from where to watch the sunlight dappling the trees and shrubs of the large lower garden; the terrace is also enclosed by a low fence, making it a safe play area for toddlers.  Steps to the side of the terrace lead up to the shared pool area, with sunbeds and umbrellas. 

The apartment is entered from the terrace. Inside, to the right, is a good-sized twin bedroom with air-conditioning, and opposite, to the left, a shower room which also houses the washing machine.  Ahead is a corridor leading into a traditionally furnished kitchen-dining room, with electric hobs and a mini-oven for those wanting to do some cooking.  The windows of both this room and the bedroom open onto the front terrace.  

Villa Maria’s location, between Loggos and Gaios near the village of Fontana, makes a car more or less essential for a relaxed stay at the house, although the taverna at Fontana is reachable on foot in 15 minutes, as are the spectacular cliffs of the west coast. In the car, a five minute drive will take you down to the picturesque village of Loggos with its tavernas, supermarkets and boats for hire, while going the other way the road winds through the sleepy village of Fontana with its church and taverna and past the new reservoir and shingle beaches, bringing you to Gaios, the island’s “capital”, in about 10 minutes. Gaios has a wide selection of tavernas, shops and supermarkets and it is from here you can catch the sea taxis across to the crystal clear water and pristine sandy beaches of Anti Paxos.

"Fontana is by far the smallest of the villages on Paxos and is situated on the road from Gaios to Loggos. It is a pretty village with no real signs of the 21st century (or even the 20th), which is one of its main attractions..." ... read more
