Bright and minimalist, this villa will scratch the itch for island living. Because of its location, perched on a Mykonos hill near the airport, the terrace – perfect for sunbathing and sunset drinks – and the private pool both have a beautiful view of the island and the sea beyond. Throw in a gym, concierge, daily cleaning (so you don't have to) and a location where sandy beaches and tavernas lie only a short drive away, and you're onto a winner.

Home truths:
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times

*Hen and stag parties are not allowed at this home
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
