Villa Aura

Villa Aura is a 320 square metre estate at Elitas on Paros, made up of two almost identical modern Cycladic houses set side by side.

Together they offer six bedrooms, four bathrooms and room for up to 12 guests, which makes this an ideal villa for two families or a large group on Paros who like to share holidays but still keep their own space.

The architecture is clean and minimal: whitewashed cubes, flat roofs and crisp lines, with big windows and balcony doors that open the rooms to the views. The houses are built on several levels, so bedrooms are well separated, and some rooms open onto private terraces.

Because the estate is effectively doubled, there are two fully equipped kitchens, and the whole property has air conditioning, Wi-Fi and TV, with a laundry service available.

Outside, each house has its own infinity pool looking out to the Aegean, with sun loungers alongside. Pergolas shade several outdoor dining and seating areas, barbecues make it easy to grill in the afternoon, and a garden offers a quiet place for a morning walk or a little yoga.

From almost everywhere you see the sea in front of you and the green Parian countryside around, with the lights of the coast coming on after dark. Free parking is available on site.

The sandy, clear-water Livadia Beach is less than 4 kilometres away.
