Luxury 3 Bdrm Villa on Secluded Hillside, Paros

Description from the owner

The Olive House is set into a hillside known locally as 'Maggano', approximately 5 km northeast of the seaside fishing village of Alyki. Built in 2005 by renowned Athenian architect Stefanos Hatzopoulos, the Olive House was designed as a classic island home with a modern flair.

The home has stone floors inside and out and the furniture is a mixture of comfortable modern pieces and carefully chosen antiques. Light and airy, the house has an open floor plan with easy access from the verandas to the shared living spaces and bedrooms.

With three bedrooms and three full baths, the Olive House sleeps six very comfortably. Cribs and tod...dler beds can be provided upon request. At most, the house can accommodate seven or eight – as additional sleeping space is available on the mattress-style sofas of the sunken living room.

The master suite offers a luxurious oversized bathroom with a soaking tub for two and breathtaking views of the sea. The house has a fully equipped modern kitchen and an indoor dining table to seat eight. Alternatively, guests can enjoy the spectacular views while dining outside at vast marble tables overlooking the Aegean and the neighboring island of Antiparos.

Some of the Olive House amenities include: a flatscreen television, wireless internet access, Bose iPod speaker dock, espresso maker, washer and dryer, built-in barbeque, fireplace, outdoor shower, carport, in-room air conditioning and heating, vast gardens, our own small vineyard, and weekly maid service.

The Olive House offers its guests true seclusion and peace. Visitors are likely to make a habit of sitting out on the wide spanning stone veranda with a glass of wine watching the sun go down over Antiparos. Yet, because of the privacy of the home, it is necessary to rent a car during your time with us. Olive and Stone can arrange a rental car for you or point you in the direction of the right agency to speak with. The Olive House is a five-minute drive from the Paros airport and approximately a 25-minute drive from the island's capital city and port, Parikia.Read more

Additional Location Information

Paros sits at the center of the Cycladic islands in the Aegean sea. Its immediate neighbors include the islands of Syros and Mykonos to the north; Naxos to the east; Ios and Sikinos to the south; and Antiparos and Sifnos to the west. Also to the north is the archaeological site of Delos, one of the country's most historically significant.

The Cyclades are some of the most popular Greek islands, due in large part to their beautiful sandy beaches and sparkling azure waters. Paros shares this blessing; the island's beaches are magnificent -- some bustling with bathers, music, and windsurfers, others quiet and practically untouched. Golden Beach, Kolymbithres, and Santa Maria are likely the most well known and perhaps the most spectacular, although each corner of Paros offers its own coastal treasures. Visitors to the Olive House are likely to frequent Voutakos, Pygadaki & Alyki beaches – all within a 10-minute drive of the house and each with their unique charms. Visitors to the Sea House are blessed with their own private beach just steps from the house.
