An illustration of a guest book

Our stay at Villa Espera was carefree and fabulous. We were spoiled. The house was clean, well-stocked, came with lots of bathrooms for everyone, and was ideal for a baby. I would strongly recommend this villa and everyone in our group would easily return to Paros and the villa.

Your Local Specialist helped us have the most wonderful holiday and we had a peaceful experience at Villa Espera. What stood out was that it had lots of bedroom options.

Once my sisters and I arrived at Villa Espera we knew we made the right choice: the home, the views, the pool and the island were exceptional. If I could go to Villa Espera every year I would.

We would return to Villa Espera. The location is great and we love Paros.

Verified guest, September 2024

We had an excellent experience at Villa Espera. It is in a very relaxing and beautiful setting and delivered on many levels: it's a well considered house that is well designed and efficient; all the amenities are there and kitchen equipment is excellent; the owner has left certain thoughtful touches; it has a beautiful view and direct access to the beach; the Santa Maria area and this particular location is exceptional; nice grounds. I would strongly consider renting it again.
