Holiday rentals near Vríka

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.

The best property we have stayed in, location, cleanliness, the pool, facilities were perfect. We were only a couple but the place is perfect for 2 small families. Everything you need is close by, we hired a car as well to see the rest of the island which was worth it. What a relaxing holiday for my husband and I on our baby moon.

Absolutely beautiful views from the villa! Loved the outdoor space and Gaios is a beautiful town. Loved to go down and just sit looking out over the water while having a drink. We had this trip booked 5 years ago and due to COVID had to cancel. Andreas is a wonderful host who recommended great places to eat and things to do. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wow what a location. Sarah and George were fantastic helping us with whatever we needed would definitely stay there again . We didn’t want to leave.

Lovely spacious accommodation (we were just 2 people). Bedroom is on the lower floor making it cooler, together with the (two!) bathrooms. Good water pressure in the showers, quiet air con, efficient wifi. Location is lovely. There's a little rugged footpath next to the property which takes you down to the beach by the Harami bar (excellent food), from where you can walk along the waterfront to town - a pretty walk but does require flat shoes and a bit of scrambling. You will need to arrive with your luggage by vehicle as the road to the property is too rough to wheel cases along. Pool is lovely - mostly very shallow with a small deep area at one end. Infinity edge is a little sharp to rest your arms on, but resting there to admire the view is a must! Delightful, very cheerful and entertaining host who also has a business in the town.

Absolutely the place to chill out. Close to all amenities but a car is recommended. The landlord is an amazing person. He runs family owned restaurant in Lakka, Nionios which we thoroughly enjoyed. The villa is immaculate and private and we hope to return next year.

A gorgeous villa with lots of space and fabulous sitting kitchen area. Great location with a very good local restaurant. Highly recommend it and would stay again.

Stunning views Over the sea to the mainland, lovely pool, good outdoor seating. Kitchen has dishes and cutlery but is quite difficult to cook in. No hot water for washing up. Very friendly and helpful owners. We would definitely come again!
