About the property

Inside

accommodation at Aperghis is spread over three separate, charmingly Paxiot stone-clad buildings.

The first, the day house, hosts an open-plan, many-windowed living area and kitchen with lofty, white, wood-beamed ceilings, exposed stone feature walls and well-chosen, stylish furnishings. To one end of this space is a utility room and a guest bathroom, while at the centre, a wide doorway provides seamless access to the wrap-around terraces.

A few metres away across the terraces rising above the pool, is the second building, the first sleeping wing. Here there are three calming, stylish wood-clad bedrooms:
  • a double with en-suite shower room
  • two double-twins with en-suite shower rooms
The second sleeping wing also hosts three bedrooms, all doubles with en-suite shower rooms.

Outside

Aperghis's accommodation sits amidst a garden of mature shady olive trees. Dry stone walls give way to stone-flagged terraces and sun-baked borders planted with aromatic plants, herbs and flowers. The terraces wrap around the living and sleeping quarters, offering up numerous areas for sitting, snoozing in a hammock, cooking, and dining.

Immediately outside the day house is a dreamy al fresco sitting and dining area with built-in barbecue. A pergola on the opposite side of the day house offers another option for al fresco meals.

The first sleeping wing, meanwhile, has its own shady furnished terrace from where, via a few steps, one reaches the inviting pool with its submerged sitting area.

About the Area

Aperghis overlooks the northwest coast of Paxos, a few kilometres away from the island's picturesque towns of Loggos, Lakka and Giaos, all welcoming little harbours with idyllic seafront tavernas, shops and bars. The nearest village with tavernas and shops is Magazia, which is just over 1km away. Gaios, the main port of entry to the island, has frequent boat services to Corfu and Paxos' tiny sister island, Antipaxos.

Paxos (measuring around 13km from north to south) is situated 15km south of Corfu and about 20km off the Greek mainland. It boasts some of the most stunning beaches anywhere in the Mediterranean and, as it's only accessible by ferry, has managed to remain relatively unspoilt by mass tourism.

The western seaboard of Paxos is dramatic, with cliffs, sea caves and stretches of rugged, rocky coastline, while the east coast is home to gentle sandy beaches and views of the Greek mainland. The hinterland is carpeted with olive groves, which produce some truly excellent oil.

A holiday on Paxos is all about relaxing and taking it easy, all the more so if you book one of our villas on the island.

Considerations

Due to the relatively limited number of hydrofoil/ferry connections between Corfu and Paxos in the shoulder seasons, we recommend arriving in Corfu by midday, alternatively, adding a night in Corfu town the day before and/or after your time in Paxos.

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

You may also wish to know that the pool has a single depth of 1.5m.

Please note that due to the risk of wildfires, the use of fire pits and barbecues is restricted when the weather is windy or temperatures are high. This is particularly common in July and August. More information will be provided in your House Guide and via your local specialist.

We loved Aperghis, the view, and the grounds. We loved that it was designed for outdoor living. We were very grateful for the food the owner left in the kitchen for us. That was a nice touch! We would return.

Aperghis is a stunning villa, well laid-out, clean and modern. The outside spaces are particularly nice. Paxos is a beautiful island and we received great support from The Thinking Traveller. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Aperghis was just perfect. Really beautiful gardens and pool. Lovely view of the sea and to mainland Greece. Perfectly located on the island so that everything was within easy reach. We would definitely go back!

5 stars for Aperghis. The villa was beautiful and thoughtfully designed and appointed. It was nice to have the range of outdoor seating options. Very comfortable for the 6 of us. The pool and stonework was unique and very well done. We loved being there and I would definitely come back.

We love Aperghis. Every detail is thought about from the kitchenware to the décor! The bedrooms, kitchen, outdoor areas and living spaces are all very well appointed with nice quality items. The beds and linens are very comfortable. The outdoor spaces are dreamy and simply perfect. The housekeeper maintains the house so well!
