Alkioni - Trois Chambres Villa, Couchages 6

A wonderfully positioned, homely villa with plunge pool Jacuzzi and garden gate access to the irresistible waters of the Ionian Sea.

Sitting in an enviably private location on the little promontory of Mongonissi in the south of Paxos, Alkioni possesses a striking set of greatly sought-after attributes: not only does it have a little pool and direct sea access, but it's also within easy walking distance of a pair of tavernas and Paxos' only sandy beach. What more could you desire for a summer holiday to remember?

Inside: accommodation at Alkioni is spread over a main house and a garden room. The former has a simple layout all on one floor. At the centre is an open-plan living area and a well-equipped modern kitchen, complete with breakfast bar-cum-island. Comfy sofas are strategically placed to take in the sea views via a wide sliding glass door, while lofty beamed ceilings, white, grey and creamy stone walls and a variety of windows create an airy, luminous atmosphere.

Flanking this space on either side are two good-sized bedrooms, a double and a twin-double, each with its own en-suite shower room and access via sliding glass doors to the main sea-view terrace. A guest WC off the kitchen area completes the accommodation in the main house.

The garden room is reached via 11 steps that lead down from the main house. Accessed independently from its very own sea-view terrace, it is home to a spacious double bedroom with en-suite shower room.

Outside: the main focus point for al fresco activities is the large shady sea-view terrace outside the main house. Accessed from the living area and the two bedrooms, this super space is furnished for lounging and dining, and it is here that you will take most of your meals. Superb sea views fan out in front of you, and you might like to gaze at them from the adjacent plunge pool Jacuzzi, a winning addition to the outdoor areas.

The garden room, meanwhile, has its own covered terrace, part of which is given over to a table tennis area. A path leads from here down through the gardens to the rocky seafront, where, via a ladder, you may lower yourself into the translucent waters of the Ionian Sea.

Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.

The sea access in front of this property is via rocks and so may not be possible to use if the sea is rough.
