About this property

Meliti traditional stone villa is located in the picturesque village of Fontana in Paxos island. The villa overlooks the Ionian Sea and the Greek mainland. The villa yet quite modern in facilities, was build with the famous Paxos stone with respect to traditional architecture and style. It is surrounded by a big garden with swimming pool and wide terrace, which offer privacy and relaxation throughout the day and night. One of the advantages of the house is that visitors can enjoy almost absolute privacy in the house as it is situated in the middle of olive grooves, and at the same time they can walk to the village of Fontana in two minutes time, where one can find mini market, tavernas and bar. The Villa is in two levels. The villa is very sunny, decorated in country style. The villa is kids and pets friendly.

Total joy!

A wonderful villa, extremely comfortable with so many different areas to sit, equipped with everything you could want and less than ten minute drive to almost anywhere on the island. Loved this house and the host was incredibly helpful, particularly when our ferry was cancelled and we hadn’t been informed. Hope to visit again!

Relaxing Villa

A great villa in the middle of Paxos. Very clean, and everything as stated. The second bedroom is accessed via its own door and is en-suite with a fridge which was ideal for our 18 year old. A great outdoor space and pool. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a great stay.

Perfect in every way.

We had an amazing time, the house is stunning and perfect. The host was quick to reply and very friendly. We loved that there were different zones so you could spread out and relax. It was well stocked with lovely soaps, we were left with a bottle of wine, coffee and some snacks - what more could you want? We could have happily stayed there for the whole week, but also there is one of the best taverns a 4 minute walk away and a little shop. It’s centrally located to get everywhere on the island within ten mins.

Perfect relaxing week in wonderful Villa Melti.

Ioanna is a wonderful host and helped with booking cars etc before arrival. Beautiful view from the terrace Easy access around the island from this cental location. Tavernas and markests in walking distance or a 2 minute drive. Perfect for my wife and two daughters to switch off for a week. Thank you Ioanna we loved it.

Im Zentrum von Paxos

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in dem Traum-Haus von Ioanna! Paxos ist ebenfalls sehr schön und das Haus liegt zentral mittig auf der Insel, nahe zu vielen Dingen, Das Haus ist traumhaft gestaltet und möbliert, mit allem Comfort, den man sich wünschen kann! Das zweite Schlafzimmer ist unabhängig auf der unteren Ebene des Hauses, dies fanden wir ideal. Ioanna ist sehr freundlich und hat uns viele Dinge wie Kafffee, Wein und einiges mehr zur Begrüßung eingekauft! Wir möchten wiederkommen!

Lovely Villa, great host

A lovely peaceful villa on the beautiful island of Paxos. A great place to relax and enjoy your holiday. Ioanna the host was helpful. We were very pleased to have hired a car to get to the coast/ports as the villa was in the middle of the island.

perfect host - perfect location

very warm welcome by our host Ionna. She was always ready to help when we needed her. The villa and its surroundings are perfect if you want to be private. However, everything is also within a few minutes reach - take a 15-minute walk down gorgeous Kipiadi beach. Or enjoy a wonderful dinner in one of the Tavernas nearby. To summarize, perfect host and perfect location! We will come again.

Private and perfect

What a stunning home and garden. The last home with no neighbours able to look in, this really is a private home. The pool, sunning area, brilliant brick bbq provided all the right ingredients for a summer holiday. Paxos pretty and small and certainly not busy on the smaller beaches. You will need to rent a car or a small boat to get to those, but well worth it. Ioanna made us feel very welcome and the house, garden and pool were cleaned every other day.

Pure paradise

We had one of the best holidays ever at Villa Meliti. Everything was 5 star and it really had all we could possibly need - and more! Location is ideal for exploring the whole island. The setting is beautiful with a variety of seating areas including a hammock and the view from the balcony is breathtaking. The added bonus is the 2 fantastic tavernas, bakery and shop a short walk away. The beds were very comfortable including the pull out sofa bed that my 18 year old son was very happy with. Ionna is a super host. would highly recommend - we will certainly return!

Pure relaxation

Thank you Ioanna for a wonderful stay- we were sad to leave. Your cottage is very comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The pool was just delightful. We loved the central location of your house to explore all of beautiful Paxos. Thank you again for arranging all the extras like ferry ticket, car hire etc- it was very much appreciated. We hope to see you again in the future. Silke

Perfect location. Beautiful vista. Very clean and well kept. The owner is the perfect host.

The property is set in a perfect location. The owner is friendly and more than helpful. We recommend this property for its layout, well kept grounds, facilities and cleanliness. A perfect villa on a beautiful, although small, Island. A fantastic way to chill out.

A hidden Gem

Ioanna , Akis & Arco the dog made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. The villa built to a very high standard and the garden and pool areas are a delight, with lots of attractive seating and shade. We love Paxos and this location is ideal for exploring the rest of the island by car although you can walk to the restaurant in the villge in a couple of minutes. Ioanna has created a fabulous holiday home full of personal touches including original artwork . We will be back.again. Andrew & Linda Glasgow Andrew & Linda Glasgow

A hidden heaven, perfectly positioned in Paxos

We had never booked before with Owners' Direct, and being naturally inclined to pessimism, I arrived at Villa Meliti armed with bin-liners, detox wipes, spare towels and a readiness to possibly be disappointed. We had, after all, head some gruesome scare stories about booking directly with owners. That said, our dealings with Ioanna, the charming and efficient owner, has been excellent, so perhaps I needn't worry... Arriving at Villa Meliti, every anxiety I had, melted away. Ioanna and her nephew Akis welcomed us like old friends, collecting us from the port and being patient and kind as we wearily blinked under the un-used-to sunshine. Meliti is a home-away-from-home, decoarated with style and flair (and certainly appealing to more artistic temperaments) and posessing much that sterile holiday lets do not: an ecclectic CD library; multi-lingual book collection and decorated with original art and 'objets' which make it feel so special. The space is generous - the outside space alone houses a day-bed, perfect plunge pool, hammock, various sitting areas and outdoor kitchen, all lushly planted and situated amongst the olive trees. Maid service is frequent, discreet and thoughtful, and even a welcome pack awaited us on arrival. The house is a two-minute walk from the oldest - and in our opinion, the best - taverna on Paxos, plus a bakery, market and walks across the island along ancient footpaths in shaded olive paths leading away from the house in every direction. This is also a nature-lovers' paradise and the garden alone teems with flowers, butterflies, bees and bird-life. The situation, house, garden, host, location and ambience were perfect for us, and we have determined to return. In fact, we should probably have suggested that the Villa is dreadful. That way, we could keep this hidden gem of a property all to ourselves...

Most amazing stay at beautiful property great host

We had had the most amazing week away at Ioanna's beautiful house. Ioanna was a great host and stayed in touch throughout the whole booking process. She even booked our rental car and boat transfers from Corfu and these turned out cheaper than I found anywhere else. It was a beautiful house, perfect for two couples or family with kids or just a couple, the downstairs is completely self contained and almost like an annex so perfect if you want some separate space. There was a lovely bottle of wine and lots of other Greek food in the house too. We both absolutely love Paxos and will be returning next year and would certainly stay here again if we could. The best host and amazing house, thankyou Ioanna. Oliver + Rosannagh

Juste parfait !

Accueil excellent, hôtesse charmante, maison toute mignonne, île relaxante, criques et plages tranquilles, nous y avons passé une excellente semaine et en gardons de merveilleux souvenirs. Inconvenient avec des petits enfants, les chambres ne sont pas communicantes mais divant lit dans le salon. Si non, rien à redire : propreté impeccable, les draps sont changés tous les 3 jours et la femme de ménage passé également tous les 3 jours. Adresse que nous recommandons vivement !

Fabulous Villa

We had a lovely time throughout our week at this beautiful villa. It was so comfortable and homely and we really felt like we could relax there. The pool was great for having a swim when it got too hot. We loved exploring the island but ended up spending a lot of the time at the villa as it as so nice. I would recommend hiring a car as the island is quite hilly and the villa is more or less right in the middle of Paxos so a little way away from the main villages but still within walking distance if you are a keen walker. Ioanna was extremely helpful and was always on hand to help out with anything if needed. We will defiantly be back soon!!

Wonderful house, wonderful holiday

We had a marvellous time at Ioanna's house on Paxos. It is beautifully furnished and very comfortable, with the most beautiful views over the island to the sea. It is lovely to sit on the balcony with a glass of wine in the evening, or barbecue at lunchtime. The pool was refreshing for a morning dip. The house is situated in a very peaceful place, within walking distance of several tavernas. We particularly enjoyed the nearest taverna in the local village. I'd also recommend hiring a boat to go and explore Antipaxos for the day. Utter peace and quiet - bliss. It's not essential (there are taxis, or you could hire bikes - but it is hilly!), but I'd recommend car hire if you want to explore the island.

About the host

Hosted by Ioanna Vlassi

Ioanna is the notary public of the island as well as the keeper of the Land Registry of the island. She came from Corfu 20 years ago and fell in love with the island, so when she eventually decided to built this house she tried to to find harmony between tradition and modern interior design. Ioanna together with her nephew Akis look after the villa and welcome the guests. For many years Ioanna has been an active member of the Cultural Association of Paxos. She now participates in the Philharmonic Band of the Paxos Community. She loves music and travelling.

Why they chose this property

Because of the energy it emanates and for the surrounding landscape. The feeling of calmness and relaxation.

What makes this property unique

The total privacy and tranquillity and yet so close to the village.
