Overlooking endless olive groves, this contemporary villa on the west coast of Paros has a go-slow allure that’s pretty hard to beat. Inside, there’s a satisfying white and sage green colour palette in the laidback living area and a boho-chic approach to the bedrooms – think plenty of natural textures and earthy tones.
Spend lazy afternoons lounging by the pool as the musky scent of herbs carries on a gentle breeze. When it’s time for lunch, chop, season and grill in the summer kitchen before dining altogether in the shade of the pergola.
If a beach day is on the cards, grab your seaside essentials and walk to Parasporos Beach. Or why not head into the capital and port of Paros – Parikia? Stroll along the narrow cobbled paths, past quaint churches and blousy blooms of bougainvillea, to traditional tavernas for stuffed vine leaves and an ice-cold beverage.
