Villa Thekla, Paros, Greece

Warmth dominates the interiors of this Cycladic structure, a series of sugar cube-like buildings connected by soaring arches. Homey furnishings are elegant but welcoming, with rustic wood furniture, color schemes and decorations that lend its rooms a laid-back and cozy character. The country-style kitchen is spacious, featuring a convenient cooking island and leading directly into a large living and dining area equipped with inviting white sofas. Bedrooms enjoy direct access to their own external patios which, combined with the independence offered by the main and various guest houses, ensure that visitors can retreat in solitude as needed to contemplate the scenery or read a good book. Even the beds inside this home are elevated, giving you a unique sensation that you are indeed above it all!

Attention to every guest’s comfort is a key advantage of this home, with a friendly layout providing disabled access both inside and out. The oversized saltwater pool is also sure to please children with its beach-like entrance, as are the cubbyhole bunk beds – the perfect place for little guests to curl up and drift away after another day of adventure. Not far away is sandy Golden Beach, an ideal spot for families with children. As the sun sets, gather in the lovely shaded dining area, turn on the chandelier and raise a toast to an unforgettable getaway.
