🌿 The Universal Language of Villa Petalouda: Week 18 – Pátho̱s
Some words burn quietly — not loud, but deep.

the sun on bare skin, and a glance that stays with you long after.

At Villa Petalouda, Pátho̱s is the moment before you surrender —
to the now, to the feeling, to summer lived with your whole heart.

🌿 The Universal Language of Villa Petalouda: Week 17 – Anatolí
Some moments don't ask for attention.
They simply unfold — slowly, softly, like the sky turning gold.
🌅✨ Anatolí (Ανατολή) is the quiet magic of morning light over the Ionian Sea,
the promise in the air, and the first shimmer that touches the olive leaves.
💛 As July begins, the light deepens and the days open wide.
At Villa Petalouda, the morning begins with wonder — and the kind of stillness that makes you fall in love with now.
Yes, the pool is private.
Yes, the view is ridiculous.
Yes, Jenny is actually sitting there, thinking about getting a cold drink. 🍹
No, you don’t have to swim — but you might not resist.
Because some days are made for sunbeds, splashes and pretending time doesn’t exist.

In July 2017 we got married and wanted a honeymoon to remember. We went to a small independent Travel Agent who managed to find us a small Greek Island holiday which was to be the honeymoon of a lifetime!
Our first experience of Paxos resulted in us falling in love with everything it represents…… peace, serenity and making you want to go back for more.
When we got home we missed it so much that we set our dream to one day live on Paxos.
After a lot of thinking and researching we came back to the beautiful Island in 2018 with the sole purpose of making our dream come true!
In 2019 we finally launched our Luxury Villa to rent as a holiday destination and would love you to have the experience that we did and get the feeling to want to come back again and again.
Jenny decided at an early age she either wanted to become a nurse or an artist! Sometimes life is destined and she started her Nurse training in 1985. After qualifying in 1988 she worked and lived in Essex UK. Jenny has had a varied and eventful 29 year career in the NHS, jobs included district nursing, specialist Nursing and as a Public Health Practioner. Eventually going into management, she has seen every aspect of NHS life and needed a well earned rest after taking early retirement in 2016.
She has been a busy mother (now with grown up children) and carer. She decided to start a new adventure with Phil.... having met him in 2015! A new chapter was about to unfold....
Philip started his career as an Aircraft Engineer for a small airline in Essex where he worked for 11 years then moving on to a more interesting job working for the MoD testing military engines then progressing into the field of Health and Safety. After 16 years in he decided to join the NHS as a Health & Safety Advisor where he has now worked for the past 11 years specialising in the mental health sector.
This job can be very stressful at times, so thank god for finding Paxos which is the idyllic place to de-stress and unwind and spend precious time with his beautiful wife Jenny.
