Villa Alaster Greece

Peace and privacy are the keys to a vacation in Villa Alaster. This stylish property is one of six luxury villas nestled on the south coast of the island of Paros, in the heart of the Greek Aegean Sea. This detached villa is built over two levels and has one hundred and five square metres of living space. Villa Alaster has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to six guests, ideal for a family or friends sharing. From the living space and terraces, the villa enjoys sweeping panoramic views across the azure Aegean Sea to the sister island of Antiparos.
The villa is part of a small complex made up of six unique detached properties, located in the valley of Petaloudes, in Glisadia on the southern coastline of the beautiful Greek island of Paros. These architect-designed properties are built in the traditional Cycladic style of whitewashed stone, on the slope of a large two-acre plus estate, set in an ancient olive grove. The villas have been purposely positioned to be protected from the north winds, and maximise those enchanting turquoise Aegean Sea views. The villa interiors are light and airy, furnished with contemporary pieces, with lots of natural light-coloured woods, and decorated in a palette of crisp cool whites and soft hues of blues, which gives them a classic beach house vibe.
All the villas come with independent entrances, private parking for two cars, and complimentary Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout. Use of a shared fourteen metre by eight-metre sea view swimming pool, set in a generous five hundred square metre terrace, is included. The pool is surrounded by sun loungers and shady parasols, and there is an adjacent relaxing lounge and bar, and changing facilities too. The villa benefits from an on-site Concierge, who can arrange anything from yacht charters, daily boat trips, and sight-seeing tours, to in-house dining, restaurant reservations, and yoga and wellness therapies. The property can be booked in advance and by prior arrangement to host social events and the wedding of your dreams. Most importantly, the nearest family-friendly sandy beach is but a short drive away.

In the seating area floor to ceiling French doors with billowing white curtains, open onto the upper terrace. There is a built-in sofa, and two armchairs, facing a forty two inch flat-screen smart television. There is a round wooden table with six chairs for some informal indoor dining. The adjacent white and stainless steel kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances you will need to cater for your holiday, including a family-size fridge freezer, and that must-have Nespresso coffee maker. Take the stairs down to the lower floor where you will find two rustically furnished spacious bedrooms, both with floor-to-ceiling doors that give access to the sea view terrace. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, a sofa bed to sleep a further two guests, and a forty inch smart TV. The second bedroom also has a queen size bed, and there are two bathrooms complete with showers, hand basins, WCs, and complimentary toiletries.
Villa Alaster boasts two spacious sea-view terraces, the upper level has a dining table for four, perfect for breakfast with a vista.

There is a built-in seating area for six, ideal for sundowners at sunset, before eating alfresco at the eight seater dining set.
Villa Alaster is located in the stunning setting of an exclusive six-villa enclave, on the south coast of Paros, one of the Cycladic islands, in the heart of the Greek Aegean Sea. The villas are built on the slope of an ancient olive grove, with panoramic sea views as far as the eye can see. The villas are near the beautifully named Petaloudes valley, which means Valley of the Butterflies, in the area known as Glisadia. The villa is only four kilometres from the international airport of Paros, and for those who are island hopping, it is just four kilometres from the port of Pounda.
The villas are near lots of lovely sandy beaches with calm, easy entry, shallow waters, most notably the nearby secluded Paralia Agia Irini, and Kite Beach. Other recommended slightly further afield beaches include, Kolymbithres for its amazing rock formations, golden sands, and crystal clear waters, Faraggas and Monastiri especially on windy days, as they offer natural shelter, and the popular cosmopolitan Santa Maria, and Golden Beach. Take time for a day trip to the town of Parikia, the historic capital of the island, on the west coast. Make sure you visit the fourth-century Byzantine Greek Orthodox gem of Panagia Ekatontapiliani and admire the marble screens and original icons.
Walk up to the top of the town to see the Frankish castle with thick marble and rock walls, built by the Venetians in the thirteenth century. Here you will find a blue-domed church and sweeping scenic views. Visit the Archeological Museum, charting the cultural history of the island from antiquity to Ottoman times, and noted for its collection of statues. Amble down the cobbles streets, with its charming blue and white houses, and colourful overhanging bougainvillaea. Lose yourself in the labyrinth of souvenir shops selling hand-crafted artefacts, relax in a local ouzo bar, and enjoy lunch in one of the many restaurants. Hit the beaches, choose from Parikia’s laid-back white sandy beach, go slightly north to busy Lividia, or south to Delfini, set in a small cove. At the end of the day, find your spot and watch the famous sunsets, a glass of wine in hand. Go further north to the holiday hot spot of Naousa, a picturesque fishing village, that has managed to retain its original rustic charm. Walk the maze of stone streets to discover tiny churches, admire the thirteenth-century icons in the Byzantine Museum, visit the Venetian castle, then find yourself a seafront taverna and dine off freshly caught fish.
After dark Naousa is known for its nightlife, here you can dance till dawn. For those who want to get active Paros has thirty eight hiking trails, nine running ones, and six road bike riding tours, take your pick. Go kitesurfing in Pounda, windsurfing at Golden Beach, and water skiing and wakeboarding at Naousa. Take a tour of one of the island’s many vineyards, sample the results of the harvest, and take home a bottle or two. Venture further afield with a day trip to the sister island of Antiparos, just across the water from the port of Pounda, for a fabulous laid-back relaxing day, seek out the beautiful beaches of Faneromeni, Agios Georgios, and Sifneikos Gialos.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
