Helena

Spectacular views from the exceptional swimming pool terrace, carefully planned contemporary comforts, and easy access to a choice of beaches, this fine family villa in Paxos has it all. A beautiful villa in a blissful setting, Helena sits atop a wooded hillside jutting into the sea. With matchless views of the shoreline on either side, it gazes over the tree-tops to Lakkos Beach, the hills of the Greek mainland and, in the heat hazed distance, the coast of Corfu. The villa is airy, spacious and comfortably furnished in English country house style, with a swimming pool and sunbathing terrace on a lower level reached by steps. As this is a natural daytime focal point, the pool terrace has been thoughtfully equipped with a shower room, games room and outdoor kitchenette, while a generously sized dining terrace is accessed directly from the villa, privately screened with forestry to the side and open to the maritime panoramas facing front. Lakkos Beach is walkable within ten minutes and, each about 2km from Helena, Monodendri beach has a couple of tavernas, and Lakka, its natural harbour favoured by yachtsmen, offers shops, restaurants and a cosmopolitan atmosphere.
