WOW -- Despina's is an absolute gem!!! The breakfast was outstanding, the location was amazing and the rooms were perfect. Despina is one in a million. Her care for her guests is unbelievable -- personally greeted us, arranged transfers, arrival snacks in our room, and the biggest and best breakfast prepared by her every morning with a smile. We would highly recommend and really hope to return again. Thank you Despina and Anna for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

Absolutely everything! Despina is incredible, it feels like you’re staying with your family. The rooms are immaculate, she even welcomes us with some pastries. The breakfast spread was wonderful, felt so spoilt. Only a 5-10 minute walk into the centre of paros! She was so accomodating and welcoming. 10/10 recommend this incredible accomodation!

We had a wonderful stay at Despina's Mare. Breakfast was great, the location is excellent - quiet area and just a few minutes walk to the center of Naoussa, and the room was comfy and spacious. Despina was so kind and helpful - not only did she give us great tips about Paros, it was our first vacation with our baby and she did everything she can to help us feel more comfortable. We highly recommend!
