When you’re stuck in the office and the weather outside is dreary, this is the kind of villa you daydream about. This gorgeous home in Mykonos is a perfect sanctuary, far away from the lively party scene the city is known for – but not so far that you can’t get involved should you fancy it.

As you lie on the terrace with a toe dipped in the swimming pool, you’ll feel your worries drift away. It’s practically impossible to hold onto any stress when your toughest decisions are about where you’ll sunbathe – we’re fans of the loveseat, in case you wondered. A pergola sits over a comfy seating area, overlooking the Aegean Sea. Whether you’re a sun-worshipper or prefer to stay in the shade, there’s outdoor space here for you – you never have to miss out on the view.

If you’re lucky enough to nab the master suite, you can look forward to waking up and heading straight out to your private balcony. Whether you use it for early-morning yoga sessions or sipping coffee while soaking up the tranquil vibe is up to you.

When you’ve drifted in the pool long enough to fancy a change of scenery, you need only drive eight minutes to reach the beach. Psarou is one of the most popular beaches on the island, with lovely clear, calm water.

In the evening, sip something chilled on the terrace while you gaze at the breath-taking sunset. When the stars start to emerge, stroll fifteen minutes to the Old Port for an alfresco meal by the water.
