We stayed at Spiti Marie in July for 10 nights. It is a beautifully presented, well maintained home. The host is fabulous and couldn't be anymore helpful and attentive. It is a excellent size accommodation for a group or family. There is a small balcony with a dining table and chairs. A larger separate balcony with gorgeous sun loungers (and the view is magic), and there is also a courtyard at the rear. A good size kitchen/dining area and a large lounge. Upstairs bedroom has a lovely view through the glass doors. There is an upstairs bathroom too. Downstairs has a massive bedroom with a small lounge area and another smaller bedroom with twin beds. There is also a bathroom downstairs too. This was a fantastic retreat, we were totally relaxed coming back from a day of beaching and sightseeing. It is not too far from the small town of Drios and local bars and restaurants and nearby beaches. You would need transport to explore this delightful island. I would most definitely stay here again if we were with family or a group (and with the upstairs/downstairs accommodation friends travelling together would have privacy)

Amazing Greek villa with everything you need
This villa was excellent. Lovely facilities and very nicely decorated. Lovely balcony with amazing views of the sea. We had everything we needed at this villa and the host Ali Boyle could not have been more helpful. We will definitely be back :)

A Slice of Paradise
We visited the beautiful island of Paros at the beginning of September and spent the best 7 days exploring this little slice of paradise.
Spiti Marie is a gorgeous, homely villa with a tasteful interior and the perfect terrace from which to admire the beautiful view across to the neighbouring islands. This was our place to drink a bottle of the local wine (a steel at €3.50 and very good).
Situated just outside of Drios, a quaint little village with a number of authentic bars and tavernas and a really good, well stocked supermarket.
You will need to hire a car. We loved our little Fiat 500 cabriolet hired from Sardis Rentals, recommended by Ali, who throughout the booking process and entire stay, couldn’t have been more helpful.
Ali and his partner Mark (Pop) are passionate about the island and the gorgeous homes they have to offer and their knowledge is second to none. They recommended all the best restaurants to eat in, beaches to visit and places we must see and believe me, we did most of it.
The local cuisine is amazing, the beaches are idyllic and pristine and you have the option of being remote or a beach club with chilled music and atmosphere.
Paros is also great for shopping. Nauossa is very pretty, with its cobbled streets and upmarket boutiques and a gorgeous harbour that is buzzing in the evenings.
One of our favourite places to visit was Anti Paros, a 7 minute ferry ride from the port at Pounta, a short car ride from the villa. At €1.50 each by foot, it’s a must. It’s even more quaint and sleepy with gorgeous boutiques and lovely places to eat as well.
If you love Greece you’ll love Paros. We combined our trip with a 3 night stay in Mykonos but we will definitely revisit as there is still so much to see and do and is the perfect base to explore other neighbouring islands.
Thank you to our amazing hosts for helping make our holiday so special and memorable in your little slice of paradise.

A piece of paradise in Paros
We have just left Ali's magnificent villa and are all absolutely delighted by our time there. The villa itself is beautifully designed in a traditional Greek style but with a whole host of modern touches; we were 5 friends staying there and we had plenty of room. The quiet location of the villa, and the amazing views, also proved perfect. As much as we loved the villa - it truly is beautiful - it was Ali who made out stay truly first class: he is such a lovely, lovely man and made sure we got the most out of our time on Paros. Not only did Ali help us with transport, he also spent time recommending some fabulous places to go on each of the days we were on Paros; the little personalised touches in the villa to welcome us were absolutely delightful. Paros is a quiet, authentic island and Ali is the best host you could ever wish for: perfect holiday time!

Stunning villa!
Spiti Marie is a fabulous villa, it is finished to an extremely high standard in a very tasteful contemporary style and comfortably sleeps 6. Páros island is truly an unspoilt gem with locals making you feel so welcome, I would recommend a car but it is literally only a few minutes drive to absolutely stunning beaches. A must visit is ‘Anna’s’ restaurant in nearby Dryos, food was traditional with local ingredients and exceptional value. Thanks to Ali for being a superb host with fantastic advice and tips to find even more beautiful spots on this special island.

Faultless!
Cannot fault this villa, it is beautiful, so well equipped and has with great views over the surrounding countryside. Paros is a lovely, unspoilt island, there are great beaches within easy reach of Spiti Marie and the nearest village, Dryos, has a supermarket and some great restaurants. You do need a car but the roads are quiet and it is easy to get around. Ali really is the best host, he has thought of everything in the villa and is on hand (right from arrival in Paros) to make sure his guests have everything they need, offering advice about where to go, how to get there, what to do, where to eat, just brilliant! Our only negative is that our stay was too short - we will be back and stay longer next time!

EXCEPTIONAL!
WOW WOW WOW! What an amazing week we had in Paros, staying at this stunning villa near the village of Dryos and all of it's beautiful beaches and tavernas (a few minutes drive away). We hired a car and Ali (the amazing owner) met us at the port and showed us the way. The island is easy to navigate through as it's quite small so definitely hire a car/scooter and explore. The beaches have plenty of space and you can often feel like you are the only ones there. The villa is just perfect, it has everything you will need for a beautiful holiday and the sunbathing deck at the front is the perfect spot for looking across the sea to other islands. The villa is split over two levels with a front, side, internal and rear dining area - plenty of choice. We cannot wait to visit again - thank you from the bottom of my heart <3
