Description Close to the Clouds: Paros

Perched on top of a hill in the north of Paros, this villa has the double whammy of having no neighbours and a quintessentially Cycladic view of the azure sea and distant islands on the horizon.

There are many ways of enjoying this fortuitous combination, whether that's taking a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, catching some rays underneath the verandah or up on the villa's rooftop terrace.

Although it faces stiff competition from the scenic panorama outside, the home's interior is worthy of attention, too. The high ceilings and white walls lend a feel of airiness that's sure to be appreciated during sunny spells, while the furnishings are contemporary in style. Come the evening time, there's also an open fireplace to get cosy next to.

Due to the size of the island, you're always going to be close to plenty of attractions. There are lots of beaches nearby, starting from as close by as twenty minutes' walk away. The restaurants and museum of Parikia can be reached in ten minutes' drive, too.
