The location
Perhaps the best view on Paxos
Directly above the turquoise bay of Lakka — a short walk down to the beach and village.Villa Blotto sits on the hillside directly above the bay of Lakka — the sheltered, turquoise horseshoe at the northern tip of the island. Watch the yachts drift in from the pool at sunset, then walk down to the beach and the waterfront tavernas.

How we do things
A home,
not a hotel
Villa Blotto is a real Paxiot family house, not a managed luxury villa. We take care of the things that matter, then leave you to enjoy the place in your own way — it suits independent travellers who would rather have the best view on the island than a turndown service.
What you’ll find
Spotless on arrival
The house is professionally cleaned and made up before you arrive.
Linen & towels provided
Fresh bed linen and towels, with a change on longer stays.
A kitchen made for cooking
Everything you need for long lunches and barbecues on the terrace.
Us, when you need us
A WhatsApp message away for local tips or anything in the house.
What you won’t
Daily housekeeping or towel changes
We'd rather keep the price fair and leave you in peace.
Concierge, butler or turndown
No staff on site — the house is yours for the week.
Hotel-style formality
Bare feet, salt water and slow mornings are very much encouraged.
Hidden extras
The price you see is the price you pay — no service fees.
If you want room service, we’re probably not for you. If you want your own space above the most beautiful bay on Paxos, you’ll feel at home here.

Good to know
Villa Blotto FAQs: booking, ferries & the pool
How does booking work?
Every booking is a request. Tell us a little about your group and plans, save a card (nothing is charged), and we'll reply personally within 24 hours. If we accept, we take a 30% deposit and you're booked. If we decline, nothing is charged.
How do I get to Paxos?
Fly to Corfu, then take a boat across: fast boats take about an hour and the slower car ferry around two hours. Most boats arrive in Gaios, the island's main harbour, about 25 minutes' drive from Lakka; a few summer services stop in Lakka itself.
Do we need a car?
Not to enjoy Lakka — the beach, the village and the waterfront tavernas are a short walk down the hill. To explore the rest of the island, most guests hire a small car or scooter on Paxos, which is simpler and cheaper than bringing one over from Corfu. There is free parking at the villa.
Is the pool heated?
No — the pool isn't heated, but the Ionian sun warms it nicely from June to September. Early and late in the season it's refreshing rather than warm.
What is the cancellation policy?
Full refund up to 60 days before arrival, 50% up to 30 days, and non-refundable after that. Nothing is charged until we accept your request.
