Watching the Ships Roll In

Watching the Ships Roll In: Aegean South

Perched high on a wind-sheltered hill, it's the sweeping vistas that bring the 'wow' at this picturesque, whitewashed suite. Far-reaching and glorious, you'll love waking up to spectacular sea views every day. Sit back and watch the boats bob in the distance in Paros port. Or, head outside and marvel at the mountains from the comfort of your lounger – with a glass of Ouzo in hand, of course.

Take it all in as you cool off in your private pool, or seek shade inside as you continue your holiday read. With a clean and simple vibe, there's ample room for two here, and plenty of space for a family of four.

When the sun goes down, the covered alfresco table is our favourite spot for setting the world to rights while devouring homemade moussaka and tzatziki side dishes. But if you'd prefer to leave the cooking to someone else (you are on holiday, after all), you'll find bustling Paros with its strong dining scene and dreamy beaches just over 3km away by car. Naoussa is just a fifteen-minute drive east, too, with its pretty mazy streets, shops and beach cafes.

Home truths:
*Daily cleaning is included in your stay, as well as linen changes every three days
*Your host offers free transfers here, too – just ask when booking
*There’s a double sofa bed in the living area for the third and fourth guests – we think this is best suited to two children
*The dining table works as a laptop-friendly space should you need to catch up on some work
*The private pool is quite small at just 2.5m x 4m – it’s less for lapping in, and more for taking a refreshing dip
*The bedroom is open-plan to the living area here, so privacy is limited
*There are three steps between the living area and bedroom, as well as steps leading down to the pool, so this home might not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
