We can't recommend Maria and her house highly enough. This typical Cycladic-style 'upside down' house was very clean and comfortable with two bathrooms, large bedrooms with lots of storage, and a comfortable lounge area with TV - though I spent most of the time on the terrace watching the amazing view of the bay with ferries, sailing boats, and brilliant sunsets...not to mention the donkeys in the field below! The kitchen area is limited, but fine for organising breakfasts and small meals, with a big fridge and dishwasher. There is a communal pool just 30 or so metres from the house with a couple of loungers and the same view down to the bay. The house is a 15 minute walk from Parikia town - close enough to be accessible for shopping and restaurants, but far enough up the hill to escape the crowds and bustle. Driving is fine (though watch out for the mopeds/buggies!) but parking can be hard to find in the town. We had a rental car so were able to visit other parts of the island easily. Covid PCR tests were also relatively easy to obtain for return travel, we used the Iatro Nisos clinic in Parikia which returned our results within a day. Maria and her family were very communicative and responsive regarding any questions we had, and made us feel very welcome. We loved our time on Paros and would not hesitate to return to this ideal holiday home.
