Villa Margo II | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Paros

Ten guests, five bedrooms, one unbroken view across the Aegean toward Ios, Sikinos, and Folegandros—this is what morning coffee tastes like at Villa Margo II, a luxury villa rental Paros that sits on the island’s quieter northeastern edge, just 2km from the crystalline waters of Faragas Beach. The villa commands its hillside position with the kind of understated authority that makes you forget your phone exists.

Inside Villa Margo II

Villa Margo II sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, with each sleeping space paired to its own ensuite. The main living area unfolds on the ground floor: a lounge anchored by a corner sofa and television, positioned to frame those sea views even from indoors, plus a stargazing telescope for anyone awake during Perseid season. The dining table seats eight comfortably; the open-plan kitchen extends beyond it, lined with professional-grade equipment that transforms from backdrop to focal point the moment someone decides to cook.

All five bedrooms are configured as doubles with televisions in each. Four occupy the upper levels; one ground-floor bedroom with ensuite provides the accessibility that matters for multigenerational groups or anyone who prefers avoiding stairs after sunset. The bathrooms follow—five fully equipped spaces, each with quality toiletries, heated towel rails, and the kind of water pressure that makes showers feel medicinal.

Climate control runs throughout via individual air-conditioning units. Wi-Fi covers every corner—a practical detail that feels essential when relatives want to video-call from home. A SONOS sound system threads music through the interior and exterior spaces, controlled from your phone. The gym equipment tucked into a dedicated corner addresses that persistent voice suggesting you should exercise on holiday.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The real estate here exists outdoors. A 20-metre private swimming pool sits at the property’s heart, framed by a timber pergola dense enough to create genuine afternoon shade—rare enough on Paros that you’ll notice. Sunbeds radiate outward in clusters; you can position yourself by the pool or migrate to the terrace without moving more than metres.

The alfresco dining table seats ten, the kind of setup where breakfast stretches to eleven because no one wants to leave. A prep station nearby means grilled fish at sunset doesn’t require retreating to the kitchen. The garden cultivates Mediterranean species with deliberate restraint: thyme, oregano, and rosemary release their scent when wind moves through them; olive trees provide historical texture; flowering shrubs add colour without artifice.

From multiple vantage points—pool deck, dining terrace, master bedroom—the view surveys a 180-degree arc of Aegean horizon. Antiparos sits directly across the water, visible from the sunbeds. The sunsets here move through colours you don’t have names for. The sound of the sea penetrates most spaces, even the upper bedrooms, a constant white noise that stops feeling like ambience and starts feeling like home within 48 hours.

Location: Paros and the Surrounding Area

Villa Margo II occupies the quieter shoulder of Paros, the Greek island best known for its marble quarries and its refusal to be Mykonos. The location delivers immediate access to natural calm while positioning you within reasonable distance of everything the Cyclades actually offer.

Faragas Beach, 2km south, is the closest water. A short drive reaches Piso Livadi (6km), where whitewashed buildings cluster around a working port and waterfront tavernas serve fish that arrived that morning. The village maintains that increasingly rare quality: it exists for locals first, tourists second. Walk the narrow alleys early, before day-trippers dock their boats.

Naoussa, 8km northwest, presents the opposite energy—a lively harbour town where colourful fishing boats compete for space with restaurant tables, where boutique shops line pedestrian lanes, and where the nightlife extends to 4am without apology. The contrast between Naoussa’s buzz and your villa’s silence becomes the rhythm of your stay.

Alyki, 4km southwest, functions as the island’s capital but retains charm. The central square hosts the weekly farmer’s market (Saturdays) where produce comes directly from village gardens and orchards. Supermarkets cluster here; fuel stations, pharmacies, and the ferry terminal occupy the surrounding blocks. It’s practical without being characterless.

The Faraggas Environmental and Cultural Park, accessible via hiking trails from the northern part of the island, winds through scrubland and rocky terrain, offering perspectives across multiple islands and down to coastline that feels genuinely remote. Marked trails run 3-8km; the park office in Parikia (12km) provides maps and route suggestions.

The island’s marble heritage emerges in unexpected places: historical quarries near Marathi (9km) operated from ancient times; the Museum of Cycladic Marble in Parikia documents the stone’s role in Greek sculpture and contemporary architecture. Wine production matters here too—Paros Winery, 10km south toward Alyki, welcomes visitors to tastings in its modern facility overlooking vineyards that produce whites and light reds suited to Mediterranean food.

For wider exploration, our luxury villas in Greece span every major island, but Paros offers something specific: the infrastructure of tourism without the tourism saturation. Our full collection in Paros includes properties across the island’s varied neighbourhoods. For deeper context, our Paros travel guide details seasonal rhythms, dining recommendations, and less-obvious attractions.

National Road 1, which rings the island, connects most destinations within 15-20 minute drives. Paros National Airport handles domestic flights from Athens (35 minutes flight time); the journey from Athens International “Eleftherios Venizelos” Airport takes approximately 3.5 hours by car and ferry, or 90 minutes via domestic flight plus ferry. Summer ferries from Piraeus (Athens port) run 3-4 times daily and take 3.5 hours; winter schedules reduce frequency.

May through September offers reliable heat and minimal rain; July and August bring peak crowds and prices. April, May, September, and October deliver warmth without intensity, fewer tourists, and that particular Greek light that makes photographers abandon technical settings and just point. November through March sees variable weather, higher winds, and reduced tourism—ideal if you want the island authentically, less ideal if you prioritise beach time.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families spanning three generations find Villa Margo II effective: the ground-floor bedroom and bathroom serve grandparents or anyone avoiding stairs; teenagers cluster in upper bedrooms without feeling separated; the pool and outdoor space accommodate simultaneous activity—some swimming, others reading, others at the dining table across meals that extend for hours.

Groups of friends renting together appreciate the five ensuite bedrooms (no bathroom negotiation), the scale of the pool, and the configuration that allows one subgroup to rest while others explore. The prep area and open kitchen naturally split cooking between volunteers—one person manages grilled fish while another handles salads.

Couples seeking privacy within a larger group dynamic benefit from individual bedroom ensuite arrangements and outdoor spaces expansive enough that you’re never forced into shared areas. The ground-floor bedroom offers particular seclusion.

Families with children find both safety features (the enclosed pool area, ground-level access, proximity to Faragas Beach for supervised swimming) and activities (gym equipment provides outlet for energy; telescope invites nighttime exploration; the calm setting permits the kind of unscheduled downtime that makes children manageable). Babysitting is available if adults wish evening freedom.

Professionals seeking a working retreat appreciate the consistent Wi-Fi, SONOS system for structured breaks, and outdoor spaces where a laptop becomes tolerable at dawn before heat intensifies. The villa’s quiet position supports focus.
