About this property

Large house for families or couples with best sunset views on the island

Milos House (named after its neighbouring windmill) sits proudly on top of a hill just outside of the picturesque fishing village of Alyki on the south coast of Paros. It’s a real home from home, with views that will take your breath away and stay in your heart forever. The sunsets are some of the best you’ll see on the island. You can see many surrounding islands and 360º views of Paros and Antiparos.

Access to the house is through a tiny hamlet and the final ascent is pretty steep. Hiring a car is advisable to take advantage of the beautiful surroundings, although there are buses and you can walk to the nearest beach in 15 minutes. It is a 15 minute drive from the main port. The local village has plenty of excellent traditional tavernas, a few well stocked super markets, an ATM and a great bakery.

The house is very spacious, flooded with natural sunlight and set in a beautiful west facing garden which has eating and sitting areas to take advantage of the views and sunsets. There are wonderful terraces both upstairs (some covered) and downstairs with access via the kitchen, and an additional breakfast area with spectacular views inland over Kamari village and the south coast. then garden has two hammocks.

Milos House sleeps 6 and comprises 3 bedrooms: one with king bed, one with a large double and a third with two single beds, one of which is on the ground floor. There are two bathrooms, both with baths and showers and again one on each floor. All rooms have ample cupboard storage facilities.

The downstairs living space is open plan, with a lovely open fire and the sunny kitchen invites you to cook and eat, either inside or out with two big tables which can sit between 6-8 people.

The house has an electric cooker, washing machine, dishwasher and drying area. There are plenty of towels, including those for the beach. There is a TV and BluRay player, Sonos system and very good wifi connectivity. With no neighbours nearby, it’s the perfect retreat and place to reflect, read and just be.

The house is ideal for families or couples wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of the towns, though still within easy reach of many stunning beaches and other attractions.

Having lived on the island for nearly 20 years we are well placed to advise you on what to do and see. The house will be cleaned prior to your stay and with agreement can be serviced during your stay.

The Sheep Shack (stone brick studio at rear) has recently been built and may be available for your stay if you need extra space for a couple or single (please enquire for separate rates). It is self contained, open plan, with two single mattresses side by side, full kitchen including cooker, washing machine and fridge / freezer, shower / wet room / water. It has two outside patios with sliding doors with view over windmill and sunsets, patio, one leisure table, one work table, coffee table and chairs. There is no wifi in the studio but good 4G signal reception.

Quel bonheur cette maison !
Haute perchée ;-))) la maison est très spacieuse et offre une vue magique sur Paros et Antiparos. Les terrasses sont multiples et la balade à faire derrière la maison est magique. L'équipement est plus que complet ! et Matt, le House Keeper est toujours là pour donner un coup de main. J'adore cette maison.

Un séjour inoubliable
La maison est grande et située en haut d'une colline,accessible par une courte piste, près d'un moulin. L'environnement est très tranquille et la terrasse offre une magnifique vue sur la région et Antiparos, et de sublimes couchers de soleil. Nous y avons passé un super séjour et nous regrettons de devoir quitter Milos house.

Charming house with view near windmill
The house was charming with a nice view, near an old windmill. It is in a quiet area of Paros near beautiful beaches. Bed matresses need to be changed. Otherwise we had a very nice time there.

Why they chose this property

I've been in love with Greece since my first visit to iOS and Paros in 1981. I loved Milos House as soon as I saw it and especially loved the view west across the water to Antiparos. The best vantage point! And great for inspiration...

What makes this property unique

Paros is great balance of traditional Greece with enough of a buzz to provide a range of things to do. It's not too expensive compared to the more touristy and brash neighbours, Mykonos and Santorini.
