Aella Residence
A freshwater pool with sea-view rooms above it
À propos de cet hôtel
Aella Residence gives guests two directions to choose from at booking: garden or sea, and the difference is worth weighing since the sea-view rooms look straight out over the Aegean while the garden units face the freshwater pool and its wooden sun loungers instead. Both share the same handmade beds and orthopedic mattresses, air conditioning and a fridge, with some rooms adding hydromassage facilities for a longer soak after the beach. The poolside bar covers drinks and coffee through the day, and a buffet breakfast is served in the dining area each morning. Naousa's centre, with its restaurants and shops, sits 400 metres off, while Parikia Port is a ten-kilometre drive south for anyone island-hopping onward.

Notre avis
This works well for couples wanting a resort-style pool without leaving the walkable radius of central Naousa, since the 400-metre distance to town keeps dinner options close. Families benefit from the buffet breakfast and kid-friendly options at the dining area. Travellers chasing a beachfront address specifically should look elsewhere, since Aella's proximity is to the beach at 400 metres rather than directly on it.
- ✓Pay the difference for a sea-view room, the garden-facing units look onto the pool rather than the water.
- ✓Use the poolside bar for a light lunch rather than walking back to town midday.
- ✓Rent a car for the ten-kilometre run to Parikia Port if you're island-hopping onward from Paros.

Pourquoi les voyageurs adorentChoosing the sea-view room over the garden option turned out to be the right call, waking up to the Aegean rather than the pool below. The 400-metre walk into Naousa for dinner became a nightly routine, easy enough with kids in tow. The poolside bar handled lazy lunches on days we skipped the beach, and the orthopedic mattresses were noticeably better than what we'd had on a previous Cyclades trip.
