One of a small collection of villas built on the northeastern tip of Paros, you couldn't ask for a more idyllic setting for a Greek getaway. The Aegean Sea sparkles ahead of you and neighbouring islands sit on the horizon. The home itself is pretty special, too. Starting from the outside, there's a plunge pool that's ideal for cooling off during the hottest part of the afternoon. Just behind this sits a covered terrace with an alfresco table so you can dine long into the evening. The interior is bright and airy, with cleansingly white walls and floors, plus a kitchen clearly inspired by minimalist trends. If this sounds a little anonymous, we can reassure you that there are a few more characterful touches too, like the Aztec-print rug in the living room and the naturally shaped showers. To keep you occupied, there's a sauna, ping-pong table and a home cinema. When you want to see a little more of the island, Santa Maria Beach takes all of three minutes to reach on foot. The coastal town of Naoussa takes just under a quarter of an hour to reach in the car, too.
