Villa Armonia is even better than it looks in the photos. The house is very pretty and extremely comfortable. We were fortunate enough to stay five nights here and we loved every minute.
The beds are very comfortable and we slept like babies. Note: There is a steep, narrow spiral staircase leading to the two upstairs bedrooms (just a heads-up), but they can also be accessed from outside, so it is not a problem with the luggage. It's so rare to find a villa with so many bathrooms, so we enjoyed all the space. The main bedroom downstairs is very spacious and had great storage and its own bathroom and leads out to a patio and a big jacuzzi. The two smaller bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom, have their own amazing balcony with seating and an incredible view, and are each about the same size. Downstairs, there is a further third bathroom with a shower as well.
Manolis is an incredible host and even brought us dinner the first night. So kind. He helped us hire a car and also assisted with booking our Covid tests – he truly is a wonderful host. Honestly, he was so thoughtful. We didn't see much of him, but his nephew was there staying in the apartment which is underneath the villa in case we needed anything. I was a bit worried that we wouldn't feel as if it was private with someone below us, but we never felt like that. Our privacy was respected and Manolis texted me rather than came around to the villa. He was incredibly courteous.
The grounds are beautiful and there are multiple areas to sit, eat, drink wine, and enjoy the magnificent view(s) (and when I say views I mean views – they are everywhere!) I was hoping the villa would be a little closer to Piso Livadi as far as walking goes. We are big walkers, but it was super-hot while we were there and the walk home is uphill. So great after dinner when it's cooler, but not so good when it's blistering hot at midday, so a car is helpful.
It's about a two-minute drive to Piso Livadi, one minute to a big grocery store in Marpissa and about two mins to Logaras.
There is one thing I would like to add that you need to bear in mind: The pool is shared with the villa next door (the villa is owned by Manolis's brother). So you won't have the pool to yourself unless you get lucky and it's not booked that week. Unfortunately, we had to share it with another family who were a bit strange, but we still had an amazing time and it did not diminish the wonderful visit. There are three sweet kitties who live on the property and will come and say hello. This just adds to the charm. Very special villa in a very special part of Paros. We feel lucky to have been able to visit.
I think you may need some sort of engineering degree to figure out the high-tech cook top! We did eventually. The kitchen is so well equipped that you could cook anything. Wonderful kitchen! The villa is very, very clean and while we were there the housekeepers popped by with fresh towels and did a quick clean-up which was a very nice touch.
