“breakfast under trees with the sound of cicadas”

This accomodation is in fact built a bit like a Cycladic village - with its whitewashed studios by a courtyard and garden with trees, where breakfast is taken.

This accomodation is in fact built a bit like a Cycladic village - with its whitewashed studios by a courtyard and garden with trees, where breakfast is taken. There is a description given by the hotel on how to reach this place in old Parikia not far from the Ekatontapyliani church. It is in walking distance from the port. Reception was friendly and check-in was easy. Besides a big bottle of water also a bottle of wine was offered as a welcome. Our room was just opposite reception, thus a bit more exposed to passersby, also by the side window from people going to their studio. Privacy was not the strong point here. The studio itself was aesthetically pleasing with its slate floor and the marble in the bathroom. There was a small kitchen, which we didn't use. Probably due to corona there was no room service. The bed was comfortable and there was enough storage place. The bathroom had old fashioned plumbing and toilet paper had to go into a bucket, as in the old days. Breakfast only starts at 8.30am, which is a bit late, if one wants to go on a hiking excursion. From a buffet counter one could help oneself to three kind of seasonal fruit (watermelon, grape and fresh figs, when we were there). It also had yoghurt, fried eggs, bacon and two types of cheese. There was a good coffee from a machine available. Especially nice it was to sit under trees and to listen to the cicadas.

Following a couple of days in busy Mykonos we were looking for a bit of peace and quiet in Paros to relax ... which is exactly what we found in Aegean Village! The secluded quiet garden had plenty of areas to sit, read and eat (I believe they serve breakfast but plenty of lovely places to eat very close by) and the staff were so friendly. It had a real family feel. The hotel was a traditional white/blue Greek building all centred around the garden and was clean and well looked after. Our room was big, with a small kitchenette and bathroom. The bed was big and comfortable and had a couple of windows with shutters. The room was quiet although you could sometimes hear noises on the street and people next door but that is understandable given our central location! One suggestion for a visitor would be to try and get a room higher up (we were on the basement floor) as it would be lighter and airier. Although I believe these rooms are more expensive I think a view would’ve been nice as we just looked into a side path. The staff were friendly and welcoming, always saying hello and nothing was ever too much trouble for the receptionist and owner - always willing to help and give advice on places to go and how to get there. Really cute place to go and very well priced - would recommend!!

“Could be so Much Better if Refurbished”

Lovely central location with garden is a plus. Room and furniture are dated, weathered, and somewhat dingy. The kitchenette wasn't of much use since it was impossible to actually cook. Staff were friendly and helpful.
