This place is magical. For starters, the view from the terrace is spectacular, with the ever-changing color of the sea, the constant movement of boats, and the sun setting over Paros. We happily spent many hours here reading or eating meals we prepared in the kitchen. The hosts have also put a lot of thought into the studio itself: the bathroom has just the right hooks and shelves you need, the closet is nicely organized, the sound system easily connects to your phone, the bed is very comfortable, the AC works well when you need it, and you have the equipment you need to prepare simple meals in the kitchen (while looking at the sea from the big window!). If you rent a car, you’ll have easy access to Agios Prokopios beach (which you can see from the terrace), the many restaurants and shops in town (although give yourself plenty of time to find a place in the crowded parking lots), and an island full of mountains, orchards, archeological sites, Byzantine churches, hiking trails, and beaches to explore, before returning to the oasis of serenity that is your temporary home at Vista Ariadne. Best of all, the hosts Randy and her husband Maki are extraordinarily kind, welcoming, generous, and helpful, regularly sharing fresh figs and other treats from their orchard and answering any and all questions. Randy is already rated a superhost, but there should be a “sensational, over the top superior host” rating for someone like her.
