Mirabellain Kostos, Paros, Greece

Mirabella is a secluded hilltop retreat set within eight acres of land, offering wide open views across the southeast coast of Paros and complete privacy. Located in the authentic village of Kostos, one of the island’s hidden gems, the villa benefits from a sheltered position that creates a fresh microclimate. It accommodates up to twelve guests in comfort, making it a perfect choice for families or groups of friends who want to combine quiet relaxation with leisure activities including swimming and tennis.

The property’s exterior is strikingly white with marble details that reflect the island’s light. Terraces look out over valleys and the Aegean, while the gardens mix wildflowers with fragrant herbs. Guests can enjoy time on nearby beaches or remain on the estate for tennis, football, yoga, and evenings by the pool. The shaded pergola is ideal for dinners cooked in the wood-fired oven or on the barbecue, with moonlight illuminating the grounds.

Inside, Mirabella was designed as a family home and offers generous space with natural privacy. The main house sleeps ten guests plus staff, while a separate stone guest house provides additional accommodation for two. Interiors are minimalist with coastal touches, and all bedrooms feature underfloor cooling. The open-plan living room leads into a dining area that seats twelve, creating a welcoming space for evenings at home.

A stay here is made effortless with daily housekeeping, fresh linens, pool care, and the services of a private cook for breakfast and one other meal. Families will appreciate the gated grounds, children’s playground, table tennis, mini-soccer area, and ample room for play. A rental car is useful for exploring, though concierge-arranged transfers are also available for convenience.
