Kallisti Villas – Villa Elia

Surrounded by the glittering Aegean Sea, in the Cyclades Archipelago, Paros promises everything frazzled parents could wish for in a Greek island holiday – lovely sandy beaches washed by crystal clear sea, whitewashed villages festooned in bougainvillea and picture-perfect fishing harbours with welcoming tavernas around the quay. The four, privately owned Kallisti Villas are ideal for families to drop and flop in peaceful surroundings with views of the sea and feel the stresses of the daily grind drift away.

Kallisti Villas are set in 4500 square metres of typically Mediterranean terrain, featuring olive and fruit trees, wild flowers, lavender and aromatic herbs. Each villa also has its own garden area and large shaded stone terrace with luxury loungers and patio furniture for relaxing and eating al fresco, gazing across the sea to Naxos.

Architecturally, the villas are in the traditional, half white-washed, half stone Cyclades style and finished to reassuringly high standards throughout. The interiors are cool and airy, with muted decor, tasteful furnishings and lovely little touches such as twinkling tea lights, lanterns and occasional lamps to create romantic mood lighting after the little ones are in bed. The kitchen/dining areas are open plan and well equipped with modern appliances and baby gear, while the living areas have comfy sofas, flat screen TV’s, DVD players, Wi Fi and iPod dock on request. The bedrooms are relaxing and simple, featuring wrought iron bedsteads, master beds, crisp linen and shuttered windows to help parents enjoy as long a lie-in as possible!
