In summary
A stunning two-story stand alone villa (410 sqm) sitting on a two acre plot nested southwest of Paros in the premier Krotiri hill overlooking the Parikia Bay, and nearby the main village of the island, Parikia. It has 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a WC and a large infinity swimming pool. It comfortably accommodates 12 without feeling crowded; fully air-conditioned.
It offers unrivaled tranquility and beauty. Inside and out, the building’s soft, calm, undulating lines give the appearance of a sculpture combining traditional Cycladic style with modern architecture elements. Recessed floor lighting both indoor and out, enhances the serenity. The interior features high ceilings, large sea view windows, polished cement and distressed wood floors. Livable, stylish custom-made furniture is featured throughout.
Sitting outdoors is almost a meditative experience. Visitors are inclined to take in the stunning scenery as it transforms throughout the day. As the light changes so do the colors of the sea and sky, and the mood. The movement of the ferries and all sorts of boas arriving and departing the Parikia Bay lends a theatre-like quality to the scene. Sunset is magic, a perfect time for cocktails and soft music. As the sun sets into the sea, the succession of colors change from gold, to bright red to deep purple, giving an incredible look to the horizon, the distant islands, the village and the villa itself. By night the lights of the town and the boats continue to enhance the view. It makes it really difficult sometimes to leave the villa.
