This whitewashed villa made of ancient rock stands powerful next to the Aegean Sea. With hand-woven tassel wall hangings, wicker accented furniture, and exposed brick walls, this villa is achingly stylish and pleasing to the eye. Natural woods and tones are the running themes, and occasional pops of colour punctuate the earthiness of this almost Californian-style interior. Beautiful touches of boho chic effortlessly blend with the traditional white stone walls, making this gorgeous home bright, inviting, and warm.

While the home itself is stunning, the natural beauty of the Aegean Sea kind of steals its thunder. With plenty of outdoor space and places to rest, you'll never get bored of gazing out at the peaceful sea and watching the sunlight dance on its calm waters. If you fancy taking a dip, you're spoilt for choice with Paros' glistening beaches. Aliki Beach is an eleven-minute drive away, lined with bars and plenty of sunbeds to rent. We also love the peace and tranquillity of Paralia Agia Irini - you can walk there in twenty-eight minutes or hop in a car for a six-minute drive. Its calming energy matches that of the villa, lined with palm trees. Although you feel like you've been dropped off on a secluded island, you're never far from a beach bar. Grab yourself an icy cold Mythos and take in the sounds of the sea coming to shore, before tucking into some freshly caught seafood for lunch.

Come the evening, when the sea air has turned to a chill, your hot tub awaits. Sample the region's local wine, nibbling on locally grown olives - you are in the midst of 2 acres of olive trees after all!
