WOW, this home was absolutely AMAZING in every way possible and my family and I can't wait to come back. My family of 6 made a last minute reservation for 1 week in Paros & we were so happy we chose this home over any others that we found on ABnB.
First of all let me start with the hosts who were tremendously accomodating to us throughout our stay. Loukia, her husband Vasilis and Eva their house maid are the nicest people and so willing to help in any way they can to make our stay perfect. The stocked the kitchen, fridge for us with juice, water, some local pastries, fruit, coffee, etc. and even brought us freshly pressed olive oil from their own farm to take with us back to the US. Loukia met us at the house to show us all the amenities and we fell in love with everything about it. Loukia gave us a "locals" perspective on teh best beaches, towns to visit, restaurants and even helped us schedule a taxi with a local driver she knew since we had a 5:30am departure and UBER doesn't exist on the island.
Now the house itself. Most of all you cannot believe the AMAZING, STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL and truly PANORAMIC view this house has of the entire eastern foothills of Paros, the Aegean Sea and the island of Naxos in the distance from every one of the 4 back bedrooms (minus the one in the front of the house) and pool area. The house was spotlessly clean in every respect from the linens, towels, floors, counters and bathrooms. The AC is central with units in every room to adjust for the hot days(worked great!) and has been decorated very tastefully throughout. We used the laundry & did many loads without issue. Vasili is hte architect/builder and he has done an amazing job with the layout and the beautiful grounds surrounding the house which are full of flowers, fig trees, lemon trees, fresh herbs and even a small vineyard (in contrast to the rest of the island which can appear a bit barren and dry). The infinity pool is just gorgeous as you over look the amazing view and there is even a small lap pool though we didn't use it. The common space inside of living room/dining/kitchen is ENORMOUSLY spacious and could accomodate over a 20 people easily. The TV and Wi-Fi worked great throughout the house and there was plenty of water pressure in the bathrooms. The outside patio and table is also well positioned with a glass window on the north side to block the wind when enjoying the view over B-fast/lunch or a glass of wine. The pool area has plenty of comfortable seating for sun-bathing or just reading a book and the stone flooring is reasonably cool to walk on without burning your feet. If you wish to cook there is a fully stocked kitchen and even a bbq area and pizza oven outside. There is also an outside roof area upstairs but we didn't much use it since the view is equally beautiful from the pool deck.
Lastly let me say that although the house is on the hill ~ 10mins from the peripheral road that circles the island, you are only 10-20 mins from visiting many beaches and restaurants in the area including the beautiful picturesque town of Lefkes we visited many times for lunch and dinner. The house is very private and quiet. Our favorite beaches of Kalogeros with its natural clay for giving yourself a clay facial (15mins) and the more popular beaches like Golden, Mikri Santa Maria, Faraga are less than 20-30mins with great restaurants and accomodations.
We cannot wait to come back to Paros and we will definitely look no further than this phenomenal Villa Nisides in Kostos and the wonderul owners!
