CAMELIA VILLA, PAROS

Sitting proudly on the top of a hillside, above the picturesque village of Lefkes, Villa Camelia, majestically crowns the Aegean Sea where lines of Naxos, Mykonos and Ikaria islands mark the horizon.

The villa is situated in the most beautiful spot of the island. Lefkes village is only a 3-minute downhill walk. One may easily walk uphill back home for a really healthy and relaxing exercise. For fans of long walks the place is considered a “walkers’ paradise” with miles of walking possibilities in the green and quite paths of countryside around the villa through the old mills and monasteries.

Rough-hewn walls covered in white plaster, hand-crafted pergolas and Mediterranean gardens create the backdrop for outdoor spaces designed for soaking up every second of the summer.

Nice dinners can be held on the poolside pergola with an old monastery table allowing alfresco dining for 10, an adjoining large barbeque and a built oven.

The stone-paved terrace features an inviting swimming pool. By day, enjoy a fresh dip and get some sun at one of the sun lounges and by night, step out onto the lit terrace with a glass of wine and look out at the village’s lights twinkling below.

In the same spirit, the interior celebrates the effortless beauty of country living all year around with an exquisite Cycladic-Parian architectural style. The place is thus designed to offer quietness, relaxation, privacy and enjoyment of all possible comforts for both summer and winter seasons.

The whole villa is stone built with the walls, partly left uncovered and the arches separating the living spaces. The interior is decorated with artworks that add a dash of sophisticated style to the rustic décor. All the rooms are fitted with tall windows that connect the inside to the outside and provide access to different verandas and porches -perfect spots to laze about and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature.

What we really love about villa Camelia is that while it can gracefully entertain a group of friends or an extended family, one can find his own quiet corner even in a ‘full house’.
