Loutrovio
1 Bedroom / 1 Bathroom / Sleeps 2
About a kilometre inland from Gaios, a small country road winds its way through the old village of Velianitatika and after a further 500 metres, ends at one of the most beautiful locations above the west coast – the hamlet of Galazio. A natural and peaceful landscape of olive groves set on hillside terraces, peppered with tall cypress trees and majestic umbrella pines.
Velianitatika was once the residential capital of Paxos. The village has a stepped, flagstoned “High Street” with a weathered belltower, a small chapel and a church flanked by olive trees, eight grand houses dating back to the early 19th Century and peaceful seclusion.
Just set back from the small access road to Velianitatika is Loutrovio. Once a village olive press, the owner has cleverly converted it into a modern, compact open-plan cottage.
There is a small courtyard with outside seating and a barbecue.
Loutrovio is ideal for a couple wanting to be out and about rather than spending time around a swimming pool.
For keen walkers, the hamlets around Galazio have many ancient goat paths crossing a wild landscape of valleys and hillsides above the west coast. Weathered olive groves, enclosed by lopsided dry stone walls, hide the occasional house and church – here there is only the sound of cicadas.
Maid service and linen change twice weekly.
Location: car hire recommended but not essential. A good supermarket is just 500 metres away. Shops, tavernas & boat hire of Gaios are 1.5 kilometres away. Avlaki beach, on the west coast, is a 5 minute drive or a 20 minute walk. Vontza taverna is on the outskirts of Velianitatika - just a 5 minute walk.
