Corah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had an amazing stay at Summer Shades. The rooms and hotel were minimal but clean and spacious. The staff were really friendly and helpful when booking excursions etc. The hotel was a 10 min walk to the centre of Naousa which we didn’t mind at all, and the hotel was surrounded by coffee shops, bakeries and super markets, so the location was perfect and it had everything we needed. Overall, would highly recommend staying here!!
Sophie, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

clean and comfortable.

super cute and clean hotel. It is a little further away from the hustle and bustle of Naousa but just a quick 10 min walk or 3 min scooter/car ride! Hotel does have its own little parking area which is super convenient. Rooms were clean and AC worked well. Pool was a little chilly but that’s to be expected with the end of September! Overall, perfect little space to stay in Paros!

Great hospitality. Cleanliness. Would recommend!
Eva, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Summer Shades as lovely place to stay in Paros. It is a decent walk from the centre of Naousa (maybe 10/15 mins) but it felt relatively safe. The staff at the hotel were lovely. They were so helpful when we arrived, they provided lots of information and were always on hand to answer any questions we had. The pool was really good to have and it was never noisy or crowded. I look forward to going to their new hotel in Mykonos.

6/10 Good

Nothing wrong with the property. The staff were nice and helpful; however, there are better and cheaper options
Thano, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The pool area was lovely but closed at 7pm, as most people eat quite late would be good to have it open a little longer …. 8-8.30? Staff were very attentive. A but if a walk uphill from Naoussa Square but also nice to be in a quieter area at night. We would recommend!
Lee Margaret, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed for our honeymoon in Paris. We absolutely loved the pool, ease of convenience to downtown Naoussa. Staff were friendly and very helpful when asking for restaurant recommendations, scheduling our transfers to the airport & overall questions. Conveniently located to coffee, laundry, food, etc. we would most definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Staff was so lovely and the hotel was clean, quiet and in walking distance from many wonderful restaurants in town.
Jamila, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I don’t understand the reviews for this property on Expedia. we had to switch hotels the second night cause the beds, room, and noise from the road, were so uncomfortable that we weren’t able to sleep. Seriously, I’ve stayed in 1 star hostels nicer than this. Do not believe the reviews here.
Garrett, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Close to Paros main area of restaurants and shops

Beautiful pool area and close to the Paros main area. Nice to have a bar by pool atea. Owner George and his staff were amazing. But rooms need to totally updated. Including the AC units. I paid extra superior room, far from it. Showers tracks were gross with mold. I didn’t like the fact that you couldn’t bring your own snacks or drinks by the pool. I get it that they want you to buy from them. Overall the pool is the best part of the hotel.

Abby, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay at Summer Shades. The hotel is located in a quiet area close to local shops and restaurants.
Michel, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were incredibly kind and generous with their time and super helpful for getting around. The room was very nice but the only issue was the bathroom is a bit old and has a slight sewage smell. Also the walk from the town center is a bit grueling in the heat. The only other issue was that they only give you one room key so in the summer the room heats up when you’re not home because the AC requires the key plug. Overall the staff were super helpful with giving us a lot of instructions and support and help with recommendations and getting around.

We loved our stay here! It was quiet with a good pool and easily walkable into the town. The staff was amazing and even helped me get a hold of the laundry cleaners when I missed our pick up. Couldn’t recommend enough!

So good for the price. Front desk was very helpful and the housekeeping service was amazing. We loved the pool as well, but they should add more lounge chairs.

Nice pool, good cocktails! We didn’t take breakfast but across the hotel was a very nice coffee bakery and a supermarket. Scooter rental is a few minutes away. Restaurant Marmitta was also a few minutes walk, just outside the centre, very nice food .
