Wonderful gem in the heart of Naoussa
We had a wonderful stay at Despina’s Mare. Despina was so welcoming. It was a 5 minute walk down the hill into Naoussa, such a fantastic location. There was a lovely beach about 10 mins walk away. You do have to pay for sunbeds. We couldn’t fault our stay, the room was modern and clean and would definitely recommend.

Great location
Despina was incredibly helpful in arranging transportation for us, which made our trip so much smoother. The hotel is in a very good location, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and we loved having a small but nice kitchen to use. Highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Despina is an amazing host. So friendly and so genuine. The room was very clean and beautifully kept. Despina was kind enough to leave sweet and salty snacks in our room every day. The spinach and cheese pie was homemade and delicious. She even gave us a gift when we left. Fresh herbs for tea and loukumi sweets. Best place to stay in Paros.

Beautiful room with sunset & ocean view
We were so impressed with our stay at Despina’s! Despina was kind enough to let us check in early when our ferry arrived. Our room had a good size patio with an amazing ocean and sunset view! The shower and water pressure was the best we have had on our trip. The bed was very comfortable. Despina personally made recommendations of places to visit on the island. The daily housekeeping was greatly appreciated. And they were kind enough to even do some laundry for us. The staff were very kind. The room is centrally located and made it easy to walk everywhere. There was also convenient parking right in front of the hotel. We appreciated having an A/C unit at night. We would love to stay here again in the future.
The patio door and window have nice screens so you can leave them open for fresh air.

Enjoyed our stay at Despina’s Mare. The location was fabulous, close to downtown Naoussa and the beach. The room was clean and functional. Our only note is that the AC did not work very well so we had some trouble sleeping (keeping in mind it was quite hot outside while we were there). All in all, a nice stay but something to be mindful of for temperature sensitive individuals :)

Super location with ocean view. Very clean and beautiful petit hotel. Nice terrace in the room. Constantina was very kind welcoming us. The breakfast is very good, with a variety of options, really good breakfast!! The recommendation that I will give is to add a blackout in the window so people that cant sleep with some light can sleep longer and less starchy sheets. The bed was very comfortable! Thanks for all! We had a great time in the hotel and in Paros.

I absolutely loved my stay at Despina’s Mare. Despina was so accommodating from helping me get taxis to/from the airport to printing out my ferry pass. Her home cooked breakfast was divine and she was kind enough to welcome me with home made bread upon my arrival (which was well after breakfast). The property is extremely comfortable, charming, and close to all the sights of old town Naoussa. If you visit Paros, you MUST stay at Despina’s Mare.
