We had great hopes for Giorgianna Villa from the listing, which was so compelling, that we returned to Paros specifically to stay here after not having returned since 2012. Upon arrival, the owner's lovely Katerina met us promptly and with open arms, and spent a half hour advising us about everything we needed to know.
The villa was gorgeous, it far exceeded every expectation for amenities, size, location, comfort, thoughtful touches, ongoing communication with Margarita, the owner. Margarita was so helpful for anything we asked or needed, responding practically immediately every time we asked a question or needed something.
The location of the villa was absolutely perfect, located within a quiet area overlooking the sea and only a 7-minute lovely walk into the delightful small village of Alyki, its beaches and many wonderful tavernas and friendly Proton Market. I had broken a wheel off my suitcase departing NAXOS en route to the ferry, so Margarita's father was so kind, he left tools for me to repair it. On another day, this sweet lady was outside the villa watering flowers and then left us tomatoes and a melon! Very sweet ... it was the owner's, Margarita's sweet mother! What host endows his or her guests with such kindness?
Although we did not cook, we certainly could have, because everything needed to cook an entire meal was present. Also, plenty of hot water for showers, comfortable front porch to overlook the ocean and get fresh air, work or have an evening wine or cocktail while greeting passersby and neighbors.
We have stayed in many villas throughout the Cyclades and Crete, but rarely have we felt as welcome as we did at Giorgianna Villa. The owner, Margarita, could not possibly have made us feel more welcome and anything we needed was attended to immediately.
The TV offered Netflix and, as we have an account, we were able to continue watching our favorite series from 6,000 miles away from home! Amazing. There were two other bedrooms, all white and welcoming, beds made with spotless white sheets and offering a washer, blankets, luggage stand, everything any traveler could possibly need.
We are planning to return, if possible and we are able to come to Greece next year, to Giorgianna Villa. This villa is exceptional in every way, from style, amenities, cleanliness, communications with owner, location, comfort and security for visitors to Paros.
