Paxos is a small island of just ten kilometres long and four kilometres wide, yet it has captivated many people over the years for its peacefulness, genuine friendliness, traditional way of life and sheer serenity. Unchanged and still very under developed despite the presence of tourism for the last thirty years, it is not until you get into the hills do you discover what Paxos is all about, tradition and beauty.

This part of Paxos is a haven of peace with wonderful walks that cross through the olive groves guided by the dry stone walls. A part of Paxos that thousands of passing sailors have only dreamed about visiting and seen merely from afar. Nestled into the hillside close to Magazia and a short drive to Gaios is Villa Ita. This two bedroom villa surrounded by olive trees is the epitome of Paxos, small, understated, traditional yet perfectly shrouded from any passers by.

Villa Ita is the perfect size for a family, two couples or even two people on their own. Set over one level and built out of local stone, this villa blends superbly into the surrounding olive trees which also give this villa privacy as well as the peace and quiet. On entering the villa from the rear you walk into the open plan living room and dining room. All rooms lead towards the front terrace and the views that take in the south western vista of the green carpet of olive groves on the island towards the sea, the caves that housed smugglers in years gone by and to Anti Paxos.

Attached and open plan to the living room is the small but well equipped kitchen. The double and twin bedrooms are either side of the living room, both with access to their own bathrooms and to the front terrace. The pool area and sun terrace are to one side and located slightly behind the villa carved out of the hillside. All the terraces are surrounded by olive trees giving a vast amount of natural shade.

Built by Thomas as his family home and traditionally decorated by his wife Effi. Villa Ita combines family villa living in a peaceful, comfortable and serene environment.
