The details

Perched on the edge of a cliff above the shimmering waters of Achai Bay, Zoe is the kind of place that takes your breath away before you’ve even unpacked. The freshwater pool overlooks the stunning Ionian Sea, its glassy surface reflecting endless blue skies. Slip into the cooling waters for a leisurely swim, stretch out on a sun lounger with the scent of wild herbs drifting by, or simply sit on the pool’s edge and watch boats glide towards the bay’s famous blue caves.

Just above, the raised yoga deck offers yet another extraordinary vantage point. Here, with nothing but olive trees and open sea stretching out before you, morning sun salutations feel deeply grounding and sunset meditations utterly magical. The views are vast, cinematic and ever-changing, shifting from bright turquoise at noon to molten gold as dusk falls.

Built 300 years ago on Paxos’ west coast, this beautiful stone house has been lovingly transformed into an intimate home that feels both authentic and indulgent. Surrounded by ancient olive groves and terraced gardens, there are countless secluded corners to unwind. Sway gently in the hammock with a good book as cicadas hum in the background or enjoy an afternoon snooze in the dappled shade. Meander down stone steps between terraces designed for lounging, playing boules or simply losing yourself in the view.

Inside, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The ground floor hosts a cosy open-plan living and dining space alongside a traditional Greek kitchen fully equipped for relaxed holiday cooking. Doors open directly onto the outdoor kitchen and vine-covered pergola, making alfresco feasts effortless. There’s also a serene double bedroom with ensuite shower room and terrace access. Upstairs, with its own independent entrance, you’ll find a flexible double or twin room, a single or double bedroom, a shared shower room and a charming breakfast nook with fridge, all enjoying wonderful sea views.

Long dinners beneath the stars are a highlight here. Choose between the "cote campagne" terrace when too hot or windy, the outdoor kitchen terrace with its pergola or another tucked-away dining spot in the gardens, each offering a different perspective of sea and sky.

Beyond the villa, Paxos invites exploration. Swim in crystalline coves, snorkel in deep grottoes, walk to Magazia' tavernas, coffee shops and bakery, wander through the picturesque villages of Gaios and Lakka or toast the sunset from a clifftop taverna. Whether you’re seeking stillness or adventure, this emerald Ionian island delivers both in unforgettable style.

A gem of a place to stay . We had the most amazing relaxing holiday . Particularly enjoyed the stunning view, garden & terraces , tranquility and the colours and attention to detail . The pool, hammocks and yoga spot were a real hit . We fell in love with Paxos and the gorgeous crystal clear waters. Accessible and friendly . Lots of lovely tavernas and bars , beautiful Emirates beach nearby and a boat trip round the island highly recommended . Excellent responsive host .
