It was PARADISE ! From our arrival, the owner welcomed us warmly at Paros Airport, helped us with our luggages and then accompanied us to our rental car company before heading to the Villa. From the start when we arrived at the villa, it was magical. Even in the dark (due to our late arrival) the location of the villa on the flank of a small mountain, has an amazing view on the sea and the island of Naxos opposite to Paros. The lights in the garden and the swimming pool gave us a good idea of the peaceful view we would have during our two weeks stay. Besides the owner, a very nice lady, Angela, our point of contact on the island for the 2 weeks gave us a tour and all the explanations we needed for the running of the house (in and out) going through an easy and straightforward check list. They were plenty of delicate attentions, the owner had filled the fridge with food for the dinner and breakfast so that we could really settle and not run to a grocery late at night or even the day after. (Fresh drinks, fruits, vegetables, eggs... ) it was so thoughtful we felt that we were settling at a friend's place! Then when they were sure we had all we needed, they left us to settle with ONE motto : make yourself at home!! And that how we felt. We had an amazing stay on the island and in the villa. When we opened the house in the morning on the first day, we were even more impressed by the view, the garden, the swimming pool...it was fulling all the description promises of the villa...and even beyond expectations. The house is really a piece of Heaven very restful with all the confort you need. (a pool person, a cleaning lady and a gardener were discreetly visiting to make the logistic easy!) We did explore the island a lot but we always loved coming back to our small paradise. The villa is incredibly well located, not even 10 minutes away by car from the trendy and pittoresque village Naoussa where there is a restaurant to please everybody and the nightlife reminds you of trendy Saint Tropez in France 20 years ago... Very trendy but affordable with so much charm! The owner has advised us lot on the best beaches to visit, there are so many in Paros that we could not visit them all. The good tips though helped us to choose one or another depending on the wind or the type or rest or activity we wanted. There is an incredible choice of activities we could do kite-surfing, water-skiing, paddling, resting on a beach bed sipping cocktails in a lounge atmosphere, hiking, cultural visits, day trip to Santorini by ferry, and even easier 10 minutes ferry day trip to Anti-paros (magical as well!) We even discovered very close to the house Tao, a retreat and meditation center where,...
