Villa

Greece, South Aegean, Mykonos, Kalafati

This sublime five-bedroom villa on the gorgeous Island of Mykonos is situated on a gentle hillside overlooking the sea, set on a site of 5,103 sq. m. with ideal south-facing orientation. Surrounded by handmade stone walls, the grounds contain mature gardens with an abundance of flowers and numerous olive trees.

The spacious villa was completed in 1998 and boasts a welcoming bamboo-shaded entry courtyard, decorated with various plants and palms. The main house features a large salon with a fireplace, a mezzanine-level library, a dining room with a dramatic double fireplace and a cooking counter, and a modern kitchen opening to a pergola-shaded dining terrace. A secluded master suite includes a bedroom with a private garden entrance and terrace, a dressing room with extensive built-in closets, and an extraordinary bathroom with a dome-shaped ceiling and skylights. A guest bedroom with a bathroom completes the main house. The house features a soothing color scheme of cool white and calm pastel tones, natural stone floors, wood-beam ceilings, underfloor heating, sophisticated lighting and sound systems, and stylish custom-made indoor and outdoor furniture. It offers a superb level of comfort, with air-conditioning in every room and a private power generator.

Set in the lush garden across a charming wooden bridge and sheltered among olive trees, there is as well an old Mykonian cottage that has been renovated into an independent guest house with a private patio. A large swimming pool measuring 12 meters by 20 meters contributes to the atmosphere of serenity. Two independent guest bedroom suites are accessed from the poolside. Numerous terraces with built-in seating areas offer magical views of the pool and the residence.

The property benefits from its own private water source. It is in a quiet natural area and offers stunning views of Kalafati Bay and the neighboring Cycladic islands of Naxos and Paros. It has convenient access to the beaches at Lia and Kalafati, which offer excellent swimming and fine dining at seaside tavernas.
