Family hotels and homes in Pounda

This place was incredible. Whoever designed this place deserves a medal. The aesthetics… the views… the pool… the room… the service… all a 10/10. AND it’s only 3 months old!! This hotel is located in Pounta, Paros. It is off the beaten track, so quiet and situated on a cliff overlooking the Pounda Port. At times, it felt like we were the only people staying here. If you’re looking to relax, this is the place to go. It really is a hidden gem and the staff run the place SO well. You are so well looked after, it is kept exceptionally clean and we felt so relaxed after staying here. They do a buffet breakfast and it was so tasty. The coffee they offer as well was great. This was an epic start to our trip island hopping around the Cyclades. We also had a 6pm ferry the day of check out and they told us we could stay as long as we needed and even sorted us a transfer to the port. They are doing it right, here at Kouros Blanc! We hope we can come back again! Some tips…. - If you are staying here, hire a car, ATV or beach buggy as we found the transport situation a little difficult. A short taxi ride sets you back about 25€ which hurt and the bus doesn’t go past this accommodation as it is quite remote. The staff at the hotel will sort out a rental for you if you request it. We hired a beach buggy for the day on Sunday to go exploring and it was so nice to be able to come back to such a quiet and relaxing base. - Set aside one night to sit by the pool and have dinner to take in the incredible view this hotel offers. They have an all day food menu with the basics like pizza, pasta, salad, sandwiches etc. After a whole day out on a boat, or driving around beach hopping and visiting the busy Naoussa, this is all we needed. It was nice to be able to come back and relax. Check out my Instagram @itchyfootsteps for a video on this incredible place.

Beautiful views, has everything you need and is a comfy stay

A great residence built according to local architecture, providing all necessary amenities for an amazing stay! Very clean, very comfortable with more than necessary equipment of all types! Fully recommended for all types of travellers! Hopefully we will visit it again in the future!!!

Everything was fine and Barbara was really helpful. Very close to Paroikia . Cosy and comfortable,quiet and sunny.

We had a great stay at Acoya. People were very friendly and welcoming, giving us a lot of good tips about what to see and where to eat over the island 🙂

Breakfast was yummy 😋, especially the omelette. Breakfast area felt homely, like our front yard. We enjoyed the personal attention. Staff are cordial. Views from the balcony and the sun set are awesome. Thanks to Chryssa for her personal attention to the guests.

From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was exceptional. The property was stunning – beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and offered breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making us feel immediately at home and completely relaxed. Our host went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. They were incredibly welcoming, provided great local recommendations, and were always available if we needed anything. It’s rare to come across such genuine hospitality. The location was ideal – peaceful and scenic, yet close enough to explore nearby attractions, restaurants, and beaches. Waking up each morning to the sound of the sea and sipping coffee on the terrace was pure bliss. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and will absolutely return on our next trip to Greece. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable getaway!

The place was clean and very charming. Backyard was very much in the Cyclades style. We didn’t hear any noise. It‘s close to the seaside. The staff was very friendly and they even provided us a list with top restaurants, beaches to be visited in paros. That was very helpful and reduced the research time.

Beautiful stay in the heart of the center but still calm und cozy. The staff is super nice and try to help with everything they can.

Everything, the host meet and greet, how they thought of everything you needed, coffee, dishes, soap… how clean it was, the cleaning staff were excellent, the even tidy up the clothes… one of the few occasions we have received this excellent hospitality and great service
