Wow!! What a great place for our short holiday in Paxos. So many places to walk to and right in the heart of the city, but tucked back for peaceful evenings. House was spacious, beautiful, and clean, outdoor spaces great too!! Helen was an absolute lovely addition!! We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely book again if ever back on the island. Thanks for sharing your space with us, we truly enjoyed our time here!!!

A lovely villa in great location
Had a great stay in the well located and beautifully furnished Villa Eleni. We loved it! Eleni is very helpful without being intrusive and we felt more like friends than customers. We would definitely recommend and hope to return

Lovely villa in Paxos
The villa is centrally located, but very quiet. All utensils you could ever require are provided, excellent showers, a cosy sitting room and lovely terraces. The owner was particularly kind with a welcome pack and gifts of honey and oregano. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the island.

Absolutely amazing!!
We had a wonderful time at Villa Eleni! The property is beautiful and very comfortable and near the town center but also away from the noise. We enjoyed 5 nights there checking out Paxos and Antipaxos. The owner was super nice and offered us suggestions on restaurants.

Wonderful house in Paxos
Overall we enjoyed our stay in Paxos very much. The property is very nice and clean and beautifully decorated and conveniently situated only a couple of minutes walk from the town square and all the shops and the boats to Antipaxos. The town of Gaios has everything you need for a wonderful vacation and we would definitely return. Visitors with luggage should definitely reserve a taxi before arriving at the Ferry Port. The management company of the property said they couldn’t help us reserve a taxi and as a consequence we struggled unsuccessfully with kids and cases to find the property by foot which is difficult to locate. The owner of the property lives upstairs but the management company is in Corfu. As a result check-in was very challenging. Later we were given a complimentary bowl of fruit as an apology for the confusion which was a sweet gesture. But better information about arrival and communication would have been preferable. There were a couple of small things that could be improved…some washing machine detergent , more than two rolls of toilet paper for a week visit and information on where to put trash (only a tiny trash can in the kitchen) … but these are small things… overall a beautiful property in a wonderful location and definitely recommended!!

Fabulous holiday
abulous holiday accommodation in a great location within easy walking distance of a multitude of restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries and grocery store. Would give it 10 out of 10 if the beds were a little better but a 9 as it is. Gaios is an idyllic place to relax in and after the daily tourist boats depart the pace is slow and not very crowded.

Our nice hostess was magical. Well equipped apartment. Nice bathrooms A separate drying rack would have been great and a dishwasher. But that's complaining at a high level

Amazing!
Beautiful villa furnished to a high specification and with two outside patios to enjoy the Greek food and wine. Helena was really friendly and was on hand for any issues (though we had none). The value for money was extremely good and the location unbeatable (everything was super close but no noise at night). A washing machine would be a nice addition but other than that we LOVED everything.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Eleni
We had an amazing stay at Villa Eleni! Sofronios was communicative and helpful in the lead up to the trip. Check in was simple and the villa was very clean and had everything we needed. 1 minute from the seafront and bars/restruants. It was cleaned halfway through our stay. We look forward to coming back!
