Glistening turquoise water, clean white lines and endless wild greenery; this is what it’s like to be tucked away in a remote part of Greece. This Cycladic villa is perfectly situated to combine the rural tranquility and peace of Mykonos with its famous town. For the interior, think traditional, with whitewashed walls, plus beam and archway ceilings that give way for minimalist, simple wooden furnishings, antique ornaments, and quirky rugs that create a stylish yet homely ambiance. Designed with space and comfort in mind, the home is divided into two separate buildings – the main villa and a guest house – with all bedrooms benefiting from en-suite bathrooms and king-sized beds, so you can slow right down and unwind with ease. Speaking of unwinding, the outside living space is lined by lush trees and greenery, downhill views of the Aegean Sea fit for the Gods, and a crystalline swimming pool. Escape from the midday heat in the cooling chill-out area shaded by a thatched pergola – this spot is ideal for alfresco lunches in the sun. Secluded yet conveniently located, when dinner time arrives you’ll be a short drive away from the delights of Mykonos town, an area famous for its glorious local cuisine, hip bars and authentic sugar-cube buildings.
