Villa Despina | Stunning Sea Views, Private Pool & 2 Minutes to the Beach

Villa Despina was a delightful place to stay for a week. The central villa of the group of three, all are well positioned above the clear waters of Glioni(?) beach. The coastal road runs between the beach and the three houses, two of which are owned and rented by Spiros and one is owned and rented by his cousin. The two to the north are identical in size and layout, and smaller than the larger villa to the south. The villa is clean, simple, comfortable - and the air conditioning worked very well. Spiros is extremly hospitable and welcoming without being intrusive. Sheets changed twice in the week, and the pool maintained and cleaned. The wi-fi is a bit slow, but that is to be expected. The views from the villa over to Parga on the mainland to the east are magnificent, particularly just after sunrise. We rented a car, drove to Gaios, Magazia, and Loggos for lunch and supper; we also rented a motor boat which we enjoyed enormously. The coastal road is not too busy: its quiet in the morning, but there is traffic from 8am-7pm. We love Paxos and would certainly consider returning.

We stayed in both Villa Despina and Kalypso. Both excellent properties with a stay in Epirus on mainland in between. We felt like we were returning home to our second stay. The beach so close and the pool lovely. I will miss the views from the balconies . Spiros has the kitchen set up with food which was awesome so we need not rush out for groceries. The listing description and photos are accurate. Beautiful setting! Late May the island is not so busy and people so welcoming . Ocean chilly but nice . Swam daily on the pool.

Never in all of the years of renting have we been welcomed with this generous amount and variety of fresh food and beverages. Thanks to Spiros, we could avoid the market for days. The setting is lovely and the outdoor areas were perfect. Quality linens and ample size bedrooms. My only negative, the common living, dinning and kitchen area would be too small if you were stuck indoors.

Fantastic villa with beautiful views and well placed.Beach below the villa was lovely. Two beach bars within a moment’s walk. Spiros was excellent and really helpful. We would love to go back.

Best views ever. Close to Gaios but better to rent a car. Would love to go there again. Only down side is the ferry from Corfu to get to Paxos. Do not book the hydrofoil. Everything else was fantastic.

The property is perfect for 3 couples or a family. Well equipped, comfortable and clean, the only thing that didn't seem to work properly was the washing machine, but this was a tiny detail in what was otherwise a very enjoyable stay. The cool infinity pool was the perfect place to end a hot day on the beach or on the sea, and the aircon in the bedrooms was very welcome during the heatwave. The proximity of the port and town a bonus. Would recommend this villa to friends, and would return. We met the owner, who speaks good English and was very friendly and helpful. Thank you, Spiros.
