Oneiro

The house of white cliffs The space Dreamy, enchanting, seductive: Oneiro is the ultimate romantic retreat away from it all. Perched on a hill in the centre of the tiny island of Antipaxos and imbued with an intoxicatingly sensuous Mediterranean atmosphere, Oneiro combines never-ending sea views, exquisite seclusion, shady al fresco areas, a panoramic pool, stylish interiors and easy access on foot to beaches and tavernas. Inside: Oneiro is a simple villa with a practical layout that makes the most of its panoramic position and its generous outdoor areas. The main entrance takes one into the luminous, open-plan living area and kitchen-diner. Furnished comfortably and boasting great views, this charming room features lofty white-beamed ceilings and connects directly with the outdoor areas and pool via a series of large glass doors. A short corridor leads from the living area to two bedrooms, a double and a double-twin each with its own en-suite shower room. In-keeping with the overall style of the house, these bedrooms have high white-beamed ceilings and direct access to the terraces surrounding the house. One has views out to sea. The third bedroom, a double-twin, is situated under the terraces and accessed by an external flight of steps. While not being as attractive or as bright as the other bedrooms, it is large, has a comfortable sofa, a small fridge and its own dedicated shower room just next door, and might be suitable for any teenagers in your group. Outside: Oneiro's outdoor areas are superb! Shady furnished terraces, accessed from both the living area and the two bedrooms wrap around the house. Directly outside the indoor living area and overlooking the pool and the sea is the largest open-air lounge area, furnished for relaxing, chatting and reading. Another great spot is to be found just a few metres under some shady trees. To one side of the house is the inviting al fresco dining area and outdoor kitchen. It is equipped with a large barbecue, gas hobs and a sink, making it the perfect spot to rustle up your meals. When you're not cooking or dining, however, you'll probably be reclining by the attractive pool from where the views of the sea and Antipaxos' verdant coastline are at their best. Due to the relatively limited number of hydrofoil/ferry connections between Corfu and Paxos in the shoulder seasons, we recommend arriving in Corfu by midday or, alternatively, adding a night in Corfu town the day before and/or after your time in Paxos. Please note that the bedroom on the lower floor is not quite at the same standard as those on the main floor and its bathroom is accessed externally. There are no proper roads and no shops on Antipaxos. We will stock your fridge with food and wine on arrival (foodstuffs not included) and then you can either go shopping yourselves in Paxos or request the shopping service at a small charge. There are a couple of tavernas on the beaches (open from June to September), but they do not usually open in the evening. Should you wish to discover the beaches and coast of Antipaxos by boat (which we would thoroughly recommend!), we would be happy to arrange the rental of a boat that could be moored on Antipaxos. Please contact us for information and prices. Please note that due to the risk of wildfires, the use of fire pits and barbecues is restricted when the weather is windy or temperatures are high. This is particularly common in July and August. More information will be provided in your House Guide and via your local specialist. Registration Details 0829K91000347901
