Paros & our story

A family dream born between Paris and Paros.

A story to share

A home designed for family, born from a sun-drenched dream.

In 2022, we fell in love with Paros, and with this sunlit plot of land in the peaceful hamlet of Isterni, a few minutes from the lively village of Naoussa. Driven by the desire to create a place for our family to gather, we imagined a home blending the authenticity of the Cyclades with modern comfort.

After a year of careful construction and many trips between Paris and Paros, Villa Ariadni was born. Every space and every architectural choice was thought through to encourage relaxation, sharing and warmth.

Today we're delighted to share this welcoming retreat — born from a family project — with travellers in search of authenticity and serenity on the island of Paros.

We'll also share with you all our favourite addresses so you can experience Paros at its most beautiful.
