The Concept: Sunset Glory

Nestled on the tranquil and peaceful hillside of Makria Miti on Paros, surrounded by fragrant bushes and indigenous trees, you will find the sensational villa Duette. Built under the commands of Cycladic architecture with a soft touch of modern brushstrokes, Duette looks down a gentle slope towards the sapphire sea below, all the way to the adjacent island of Antiparos. The villa consists of two distinct – but totally identical – units, ideal for sharing between multi-generational families and large groups of 12 and is blessed with one of the most privileged locations on the island. It will feel totally secluded but it is actually only a 15 minutes’ drive to the busy life of Paros.

Outdoors

Fringed by manicured gardens, Duette’s stone terrace is the perfect setting to enjoy the soothing views that spread all around the villa. Pick a lounger or a built-in sofa to stretch out with a book or a soft drink and gather the much-needed Greek sun. If you get too hot, plunge in the gleaming pool to rejuvenate yourself or, better yet, follow the pathway to the one of the two beaches that border your villa – right or left, both are sandy and unspoiled, so you’ll have a great time either way. Upon return from the beach, gather around the shady outdoor table and enjoy Mediterranean meals against the dazzling backdrop of Paros’ south coast.

Interior Design

Designed by the renowned Greek architect Thodoris Zoumboulakis in a meticulous minimalist style with grey-stone floors, concrete ceilings and clean lines, the villa incorporates two separate units with an identical layout: a serene and luminous living room welcomes guests upon entering, and connects with the modern dining area and an open plan kitchen, fully equipped for preparing meals just like at home. The ground level also features a bedroom with twin beds and an en-suite bathroom – ideal for kids, while two more airy and bright bedrooms with en-suite bathroom can be found on the upper level, able to sleep four more adults and one child. Ready for an unforgettable summer?

Good to know

The village of Alyki is a mere 8-minute drive from your villa and offers a bakery, a supermarket, a pharmacy and several restaurants, while the untouched sandy beach of Voutakos is less than 5 minutes by car from your doorstep. If you want to leave your private sanctuary to mingle with the crowds, all you have to do is drive 25 minutes to the capital, Parikia, or 35 minutes to the scenic fishing village of Naoussa, where you will try fresh fish and local delicacies at the postcard-perfect little port.
