Overview
Many of the older family cottages once lived in by generations of island families have been recently modernised and converted to provide comfortable holiday accommodation in beautiful surroundings. Eleana Cottage, built by the present owner’s great grandfather using local stone, is a lovely example, and because it is a traditional Paxiot cottage it is surrounded by fruit and olive trees, all thriving in the fertile soil. Depending on the season, visitors can pick their own fresh figs, lemons, mandarins and quinces to enjoy in the shade of statuesque olive trees before a refreshing swim in the large swimming pool.
The substantial stone terrace which surrounds the property is adorned with attractive and colourful plants and shrubs which give the villa a real home from home feel. The cottage interior, with its timber-lined ceilings, is simply but very comfortably furnished. Old and new blend together beautifully to provide a welcoming and romantic atmosphere.
