Hotel berhampiran Lefkes, Paros

Piccolo albergo nel centro di Paroikia in zona tranquilla ristrutturato da poco pulito ed arredato con gusto contemporaneo. La camera enorme dotata di terrazzino con un letto comodissimo e scelta di cuscini tutta sui toni del verdeazzurro Tiffany una meraviglia così pure il bagno con finestra e piastrelline a mosaico; tutto molto luminoso. Colazione a buffet in sala o terrazzino molto buona con prodotti freschi e musica/ambiente in sottofondo. La signora Markella che lo gestisce molto gentile e disponibile: mi ha sostituito la lampadina dell'abajour in tempo zero! Unico miglioramento sarebbe un armadio più grande, una sedia in più e qualche gancio per appendere le cose, per il resto perfetto. Ci tornerei sicuramente!

Beautiful view, very friendly and helpful staff and gorgeous setting. Before we had even arrived the staff were so helpful arranging transfers, and when we arrived they were so accommodating arranging taxis and a trip to a local winery which was the highlight of our trip. We also ventured into the port town one of the nights (€20 taxi each way for a 10 mins drive so it is pricey), and had amazing local greek food on a recommendation from one of the ladies at reception which was lovely. The pool area was beautiful (no mad rush to the loungers here in the morning also which was nice) which a lovely view, the rooms were really modern, clean and nicely set up as individual units, and the setting was really pretty. Breakfast had a really good range and was of a high standard, the pool food options were nice and reasonable and the BBQ at the hotel we had one of the nights was a highlight (nice authentic greek food). I also had a massage one of the mornings which was such a treat and reasonably priced. Overall it was a lovely, relaxing and warm setting to have a chilled few days, and as a good base camp to explore the island if you rent a car/quad. Definitely good value for the price and I would happily come back/recommend it. Couple of minor bits for the hotel/a guest to consider. Only a standard body/hair wash combo was provided. It would elevate the hotel further to have a few more toiletries on offer. On one of the nights there was a party going on nearby which was quite loud until 3am - it was just one night but worth bringing earplugs just in case. All other nights were quiet however.

If I could rate Saint Andrea higher than a 5/5 I would. My husband and I came here for our honeymoon in September 2023 and can’t say enough good things about it. The best way I can describe it is better than the “Fairmont” experience. So luxurious. The staff were exceptional, especially Nikos and Argy who provided top notch service. The breakfast, food, drinks, pool were all the best we had on our Greece honeymoon. The rooms were so comfortable we felt at home. Cannot say enough good things about Saint Andrea. Thank you to the Saint Andrea team for making our honeymoon so special

Since the beach is narrow and busy near Parikia port, it was most refreshing to have an immaculate pool to dip into at this convenient hotel, walking distance to the port, bus station and the village. We had a simply furnished downstairs unit with three single beds for our double room, with A/C and refrigerator. The continental breakfast included meats, cheeses, yogurt, pastries, breads, cereals and hard-boiled eggs, coffee, tea and juice. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful, giving us restaurant recommendations and bus schedules. No need to take a taxi from the port or bus station if you don’t mind wheeling your bag for about 10 minutes down the tiled sidewalks. Another five minutes’ walk and you’re in the heart of Old Parikia, near the 5th century Monastery of Panagia Ekatontapiliani.

My partner and I stayed for five nights, renting a car for four days from the hotel. We stayed in a suite with a private pool and sea view that overlooked the main pool and dining area. The start of our stay was indeed sloppy. We took a ferry from Santorini to Paros, and advised reception of this the day before, as a transfer from the port to Mythic was included in our package. They had the information, yet attempted to reach us asking where we were as our driver couldn’t find us. While our ferry was significantly delayed, I assumed they would track the ferry and adjust accordingly. We waited for ten minutes for our driver to show up. Once we arrived, we were told to leave our bags at reception, and we got a tour of the hotel and it’s amenities , as our bags would be brought to our room. It took more than an hour for our bags to arrive, we even had time to go eat a meal at the pool before the bags got there. At this meal, we ordered two margs, and one was supposed to be priced at 13, the other 15 (spicy). We got charged 15 for each. 2€ isn’t a big deal, but it was sloppy. The car rental from the hotel was convenient, and necessary because the hotel is quite isolated otherwise with nothing within walking distance. The car was given to us with barely half a tank of gas, and again, as we discovered only a few hours into our drive, without ANY windshield wiper fluid, an obvious safety issue. We reported this to the front desk, with the manager standing there as we did it. Of course nothing was done about it for the duration of our rental. There was also no discount given for returning the car with 7/8s of fuel. Breakfast was quite good, but on at least two occasions we were served stale bread, and not a little stale - I’m talking rock-hard, could be used as a weapon stale. The room itself was fine, except while we were given a bottle of white and some fruit on check-in, we naturally assumed our room’s fridge was on. We put the bottle in to chill, and a few hours later noticed it was warm. I saw the dial at the back and turned it to its coldest setting. 30 minutes later, nothing. Finally I pulled the fridge from it’s little cove to discover it wasn’t plugged in. Sloppy. The shower’s handle sprayed more water from the base of the shower head than the actual nozzle. The manager did say he’d send maintenance so fix it, and that was fixed, so credit where credit is due. He also comped us a couple’s 30 minute massage to make up for all the problems at the start of our stay. Our private pool had paint chips peeling off it, and whatever type of paint they used left small marks wherever you touched it (typically fingertips). You guessed it - sloppy. The menu is limited at the pool bar, so be prepared to rent a car to eat elsewhere. The main pool is amazing, and the masseuses were incredibly good and worth the 120€ for an hour. My 2€ - Mythic is great for 2 nights max if all you want to do is relax by the pool, drink, eat, and maybe workout once.

Notre voyage à Paros aprés Naxos loin de l'affluence saisonnière nous a enchantés mon compagnon et moi! Eloigné du port principal et au calme dans un cadre authentique et préservé, nous avons adoré l'endroit en retrait et ce côté de l'île où nous avons passé 5 jours merveilleux, quasimment seuls touristes! D'un bon rapport qualité-prix, simple, sommaire et fonctionnelle, notre chambre au charme désuet était trés propre et trés agréable, avec une petite terasse avec vue sur la mer et le jardin, trés mignon et bien entretenu! Nous nous sommes quelquefois fait à dîner simplement, avec des produits locaux, pour profiter du calme et de la vue. Une jolie petite plage crique quasimment privée à quelques pas au bout du chemin, et des collines autour, trés préservées, voire sauvages. Nous avons pu faire de belles ballades à pied dans ce coin de l'île, et découvrir de magnifiques criques et plages, toutes différentes, et malgré des températures en baisse, le soleil présent, nous nous sommes baignés chaque jour de cette fin octobre! Le petit port de Piso Livadi est charmant et tranquille comme tous les alentours. Et surtout, un grand merci à Vlasis, aussi enthousiaste et chaleureux que discret, qui nous a accueilli avec son vin et ses olives maison, plein de petites attentions et de bons conseils sur son île, ainsi qu'à ses parents, adorables, prêts à exaucer les petites demandes. Nous garderons un excellent souvenir de ce séjour, en attendant de revenir!
