hôtel petres naoussa

From the outside, Petres, a family-run hotel close to the little fishing village of Naoussa on Paros looks like typical Cycladic holiday accommodation: cubical shapes interrupted by an occasional arch, white walls, blue shutters and balconies, and a large swimming pool flanked by sun beds. Attractive enough, like so many other hotels in the Cyclades. But there’s actually a lot more to Petres than that. Owners Clea and Sotiris poured so much energy and passion into making their hotel stand out, and it does, in many ways. Common spaces (a small reception room, a dining and a sitting room) are furnished with charming furniture, including several family heirlooms, creating, along with many tasteful details, a warm and inviting atmosphere. Recently revamped bedrooms are all different. Some have a modern look, while others are more romantic in style. Tasteful decorative touches (and antique brass double beds in some rooms) give each its own charm. Full marks go to the atmosphere of relaxed and sincere hospitality.
