Overview
We feel confident in saying that the three villas of which Villa Parga is one could not be better located. One kilometer north of Gaios, this breathtaking private property borders one of the prettiest beaches on Paxos. Under the same ownership, the villas have all been built, furnished and equipped to the highest specifications. Each house has its own private swimming pool, from which a short flight of steps gives access to the idyllic beach fringed by trees and lapped by the vividly coloured waters of the Ionian Sea. The modern Villa Parga sleeps up to ten, with the accommodation arranged over two floors. The views are quite superb, and extend as far as the exquisite and very interesting little town and port of Parga on the Greek mainland opposite.

Layout
All bedrooms have en suite shower rooms and are air conditioned, and on each floor there is a kitchen and a lounge, opening on to terraces. The two floors are connected by an internal staircase with a lockable door, and each has its own front door, making this an ideal arrangement for two separate parties wishing to share the villa but retain some independence. The two floors are connected by an internal staircase with a door that can be locked - if preferred, this door can of course be left open. Each floor also has its own front door. The lower floor has three bedrooms, each with en suite shower room, a lounge and a kitchen/dining area. Most of the rooms open on to a terrace overlooking the pool.
On the top floor there are two bedrooms, each with en suite shower room, another lounge and a kitchen with dining area - again, most of the rooms open on to the upper terrace.

Living room
Downstairs, the attractive, spacious sitting room has patio doors opening on to the pool terrace. There is a fireplace and air-conditioning. The lounge leads conveniently into the dining area and kitchen, while the terrace outside is furnished for outdoor meals and relaxation. TV is provided. At the top of the stairs there is a second sitting room, which has patio doors opening on to the broad upper terrace, also furnished for outdoor living. A fireplace and TV complete the ambiance. As on the lower floor, the dining area and kitchen are conveniently located just off the lounge.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room
There is a kitchen on each floor, making breakfast arrangements very flexible. Modern and exceptionally well-equipped, with the standard of electrical equipment, china, glassware and utensils particularly high, preparing a snack or a full meal here is no chore. Large fridge/freezers and full, modern cookers make catering for ten feasible and enjoyable.

Bedrooms
The villa has 5 air conditioned bedrooms: Three bedrooms on the lower floor (1 double and 2 twins) and two bedrooms upstairs (1 double and 1 twin), all with air-conditioning and en suite shower rooms. Patio doors open on to the terraces, and it is worth noting that the windows have traditional solid wooden shutters and substantial curtains so that the problem of being unable to sleep because of too much light is avoided - another example of the thought that has gone into building and furnishing this house.

Bathrooms
Each bedroom has its own en suite shower room, thoughtfully provided with large mirrors, shaving mirrors and wall-mounted hairdryers.

Pool
The private swimming pool is most attractive and well provided with adjustable sunloungers and large canvas umbrellas. The views are stunning - across the beach, out to sea and the mainland of Greece - the holiday paperbacks cannot compete! Spacious and with plenty of shade, the upper veranda makes a wonderful spot for an outdoor meal, especially in the evening, when the sea takes on that marvellous opalescent sheen and the mainland coastline reflects the last light of the sunset. With a kitchen conveniently located on the same level, and a large extendable table this is where friends and family can gather for a lingering meal in idyllic surroundings, without having to think about getting home.
