Elina
On an island as small as Paxos, wherever you stay you are never more than a 10 minute drive to a village or a beach.
This applies to Villa Elina but its totally private and secluded location gives the wonderful feeling of total escape.
Up in the hills above Lakka a cluster of small hamlets hide away amongst ancient olive groves and pine forest. Vassilatika is one of these hamlets and was once a safe retreat for local families hoping to evade 18th Century pirates but is now deserted apart from a few recently converted houses.
Villa Elina is a 100 year old stone house, set on an olive grove terrace just below the arched entrance to Vassilatika village. It has been brought compassionately into the 21st Century and provides an exceedingly comfortable retreat.
Elina has peaceful seclusion and wonderful views over a valley of olive grove terraces and across the sea to the south west coastline of Corfu and the mountains of the Greek mainland.
From Vassilatika there are many ancient (and largely untrodden) footpaths leading to other hamlets above Lakka, the church and campanile of Ipapandi and up to the west coast.
