Driftwood Chic

Driftwood Chic: Paros

‘Coastal chic’ is the name of the game at this gorgeous island home on the outskirts of Naousa. From its whitewashed walls to its beachy design accents – think oceanic wall art and lightbulbs suspended from nautical ropes – there’s nothing here that feels out of place. Inside, an airy, open-plan living area is the perfect place to shelter from the midday sun, while through the French doors, a shaded terrace with ocean views is ideal for a spot of alfresco dining. And that’s not all, because beyond that is a dreamy outdoor pool with its own barbecue area. The only downside is that you’ll have to share with your next-door neighbours.

For the beachy keen among you, you’ll be pleased to hear that the nearest stretch of sand is just a short walk from your front door. Settle in for a day of sunbathing at Xifara beach or head into the heart of Naousa and treat yourself to an Ouzo cocktail at one of the local tavernas. The choice is yours.

Home truths:
*This home is spread over three floors and may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*The pool and barbecue area are shared with two neighbouring villas, so you won't have total privacy here
*While there's a bus stop nearby, we'd recommend hiring a car if you want to explore the island – you'll be able to park on site

*The second bedroom is equipped with a sofa bed
*A high chair for little ones is included in your stay
