We are Greek-Americans and we've been to Greece many times - but this was our first time renting a private villa - and every aspect of this experience met and exceeded all of our expectations!! Nikos from Booking Paros was absolutely fantastic to work with from start to finish. He helped us find the perfect villa, then followed up with me after we booked it but before our trip to offer up and help me with other ancillary services. We went back and forth many times and he responded to all of my emails quickly, regardless of time of day or night in Greece - he's a professional that truly understands top-notch customer service. When we arrived at the port, Kyriakos (who works with Nikos) met us and escorted us to our villa. Then Villa Emmanuel - WOW!! It's just as beautiful as it looks in the pictures, maybe more. I hadn't shown anything to my family beforehand as I wanted to surprise them, and they were all blown away! It was perfect for our family of 8. It's gorgeous - new and spotless with outstanding finishes. And the location could not have been better for us- it feels very private and secluded, even though it's located right in the heart of Piso Livadi, a quaint fishing village, yet not far by car (20 minutes or so) to other parts of Paros we visited (Naoussa, Parikia). The homeowners were there to greet us upon our arrival, and they treated us like their own family throughout our stay; checking in on us to see if we needed anything, etc. - we loved them; they were so kind and warm and welcoming! Overall, this was the first-class, special experience I was hoping for - and I will definitely go back to Nikos and Villa Emmanuel again next time we go to Paros. I'm a pretty tough critic, but I whole-heartedly endorse Villa Emmanuel with zero hesitation - outstanding!!
