We spent one week at Villa Messada with my husband and 3 kids : the apartment is as described and functional, and the big asset is the sea view which is really super enjoyable (especially the sunrise you can watch from your own balcony). It's well located on the island of Paros with all amenities at less than 5 minutes drive. You can also enjoy Punda Beach just down the house without even driving. The only shadow from our stay was the beach club located on Punda Beach that played quite loud club music from 12h to 20h : seems like the wind made if worse than usual, but I must say it was quite hard to enjoy the peaceful sea view with banging music all afternoon. I would favor going to Villa Messada out of season when the beach club is closed for the best experience.
