High Mill Hotel

Just came back from 10 days on Paros, an island we have never been to before. We have tried a few Greek islands where a flight and a ferry is required because many people cannot be bothered to make the extra effort to get there. We are so glad we came to Paros (and Antiparos) and found this hotel to be clean, comfortable and the staff are what made it even better for our visit. Everyone we spoke to had a good command of the English language, which is good because our Greek consists of about 6 words! We arrived quite late in the evening and were taken to our room by a young lady called Nafsika (ay up duck) who even carried my wife's case upstairs to our room. Over the following days, we had a lot of banter with both her and Calliope, who is the manager. The restaurant / bar staff (Mary, Liza & Alex) were all happy to speak to us in English, (even though Liza is from Ukraine) which helped make our stay more enjoyable. You have to try the Ladenia, which is a focaccia based pizza and is big enough to share - so good we had it twice during our stay. We hired a car through Calliope and had 4 days to explore. For 2 days we went over to Antiparos and visited the underground caves and a few beaches. Our room had a tree growing in front of the balcony, so I jokingly asked Calliope to get the gardener to cut it down a little. The next time we saw her, she asked if we would like a different room, and asked again the following day, but we said we were fine where we were, but thanks anyway. We knew before we went that there was not a kettle in the room, so we took our own travel one, along with mugs and supplies of tea & coffee. When I thought I had lost the room key, Calliope joked that it would be $50 euros to replace it, but gave us another 2 keys. I later found the key in the bottom of my backpack. The air con and wifi were good and we really enjoyed our stay. Reading other reviews - yes the doors will bang loudly if you are not careful, and yes it is a little odd that the sink is not in the bathroom, but these are minor things which should not affect your holiday. This is Greece - relax! Thanks again Calliope & the team - ta ra duck.

Beautiful hotel, with an excellent view, very beautiful and well-kept areas and a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere. Everything was clean, tidy, and exactly how you would want it to be on your vacation. But what made the difference was the hospitality. Kalliopi, who welcomed us, was excellent, kind, smiling, warm, and willing to help us with whatever we needed. From the first moment, they made us feel truly welcome. A big thank you to Kalliopi and the whole team for the wonderful hospitality! ❤️ The hotel is one of those places where you leave and are already thinking about when you will return. We will definitely go again!

Excellent stay with perfect service. The room is really clean.
