Cycladic modernist guesthouse
The property reimagines Cycladic monastery architecture as a modern rural guesthouse, centered on a cross-shaped pool flanked by natural granite boulders.
“Minimal design, natural finishes and soothing colours encourage a slower pace of life.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Softer Volumes.
Parīlio isn’t just an exemplary high-end, high-design boutique hotel, but an exemplary piece of Paros architecture, constructed in the local signature style — minimalist forms in whitewashed stone, decorated in soothing neutrals.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Koukounaries Hill rises nearby with trails to an ancient Mycenaean acropolis. The whitewashed fishing port of Naoussa is a ten-minute drive.
The rooms
Cool terracotta tiles and local marble run through the suites, which open to private terraces overlooking the native gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Yellow umbrellas shade sun loungers by the freshwater pool, and private suite patios look out toward rugged hills.
The spa and gym
Elios Spa draws on Aegean botanicals across four treatment rooms, and the 24-hour gym has Technogym equipment.
Mr. E Restaurant
Arched dining halls and shaded pergolas look out toward the gardens, serving à la carte breakfasts with Cycladic specialties.
Wooden shutters are thrown open in the morning, couples snooze under cream umbrellas, and the silence is punctuated by the whoosh of cocktail shakers.
At the table
Circe Bar mixes botanical cocktails beside the pool, hosting live jazz rituals at sunset twice a week.
How it began
Antonis Eliopoulos and Kalia Konstantinidou took over a 1980s resort here, replacing 55 dated rooms with 33 minimalist stone suites.
