Be the One

Holiday Rental Description

It really is no wonder that this thoughtfully designed home has a clutch of architecture awards and has been featured in a host of international magazines, including Dezeen – we can see why. Situated on the ridge of Aleomandra and facing the stunning Aegean, the views over the neighbouring island of Delos are gorgeous, and the sunsets here are legendary.

Almost entirely hidden from view, this home has an exclusive setting. Sitting behind hand-built stone walls dug from the site – there's a traditional island vernacular palette of materials such as lime-wash, stone, and wood.

This home has been designed for laid-back summer living – lounge by the infinity pool or enjoy some cocktails in one of the many stylish seating areas. Neolithic-like standing stones support chestnut-wood pergolas casting beautiful shadows and giving shelter from the hot Mykonos sun. The rough-hewn boulders are a recurring feature, anchoring this home in the landscape – you'll find them scattered inside this villa and around the pool. We particularly love the ones that form stepping stones through the shallow water to the main outdoor living area.

Inside, you'll find large soft grey sofas, shelves of plants, curvaceous vases and ceramic sculptures and an elegant Boffi kitchen with Gaggenau home appliances (your host can arrange a private chef for you). There's also a techno-gym room and a private gallery space, no less. This place is primed for entertaining – they even have their own summer-inspired playlist for the sound system.

Is it worth talking about the area – will you be leaving this villa? Well, if you do, head to Mykonos Town (Chora) for sublime restaurants, bars and boutiques.
