Kourteika holiday lettings

This is a beautiful compact stone cottage with a lovely pool.It stands amongst olive trees in a quiet location in a lovely friendly village called Magazia in the middle of this small beautiful island so everywhere is easily accessible. The hosts and staff were really helpful kind and pleasant. The towels and bedding were changed every few days. Checking in and out was very easy. I would stay here again in a hesrtbeat. The worst day I had was the day I was leaving!!

We enjoyed our stay in Maggie’s house very much. It seemed typical of what local people normally live in and not a homogenised tourist offering. As such, kitchen and bathroom facilities were functional rather than slavishly fashionable. The very large living room was charmingly furnished. There were lovely beamed ceilings with tongue and groove boarding in most of the rooms. Casa di Nonna Nina was homely and welcoming as a place to come back to and relax after a busy day enjoying what Paxos has to offer. The house was well suited to the hot weather as its orientation, shading and solid walls kept us cool (not too cool) and so there was no need for aircon. Maggie was an excellent host. She made us very welcome and was a great source of information about Paxos, things to do, where to shop, who to contact and how to go about arranging things. She even introduced herself to us at Corfu airport when we arrived at approximately the same time from different directions. Maggie’s daughter was also helpful. Maggie’s place is located in Vellianitatika, a quiet village located about 1.5km from Gaios. It only takes about 20 minutes to walk to Gaios and there is a pleasant path that can be used as an alternative to the road most of the way. Vellianitatika is also only 500 metres from the west coast where there are lots of pleasant walks e.g. to Trypitos Arch, Lessiantis Windmill and Avlaki beach. We particularly enjoyed snorkelling round the rocks at the sea end of the Avlaki beach inlet. There is a bus stop conveniently located near Vellianitatika and so Lakka and Loggos, as well as all places between, are easy to get to without the need for a car.
