About this property
Experience tranquillity and comfort at Villa Aleksei, a traditional Cycladic cottage nestled on a hillside overlooking the Aegean Sea in southwest Mykonos. This three-storey detached villa is crafted from local whitewashed stone and traditional hewn rocks, offering a serene retreat surrounded by a high wall for privacy and shade. With four en suite bedrooms accommodating up to eight guests, it's perfect for families or groups seeking a memorable holiday.
Amenities include private parking, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi throughout.
The villa spans three hundred and fifty square meters of living space, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that invite natural light and refreshing sea breezes. Enjoy breathtaking sea views from every angle, including the private infinity pool. The interior is elegantly furnished with contemporary pieces against a backdrop of minimalist white tones with subtle pastel accents.
Upon entering through a white picket fence gate, guests are greeted by an arched entrance leading to an open-plan living area with panoramic sea views. The space includes comfortable seating, an open fire, and a flat-screen smart TV, while a sleek dining set accommodates eight for indoor gatherings. Adjacent, the modern kitchen is fully equipped for holiday meals, complete with essential appliances and a coffee maker. A guest cloakroom adds convenience on the ground floor.
A white stone staircase ascends to the upper floor housing the master bedroom suite, boasting a king-size bed, walk-in wardrobe, and a marble bathroom with sea-view balcony access. Descend to the pool level to find three additional ensuite double bedrooms, each with sea views and access to the terrace. A separate staff bedroom with ensuite is ideal for accompanying personnel.
The pool terrace offers a serene outdoor retreat with a double-level living space, stone accents, and wood decking. An infinity pool invites relaxation, surrounded by modern loungers and shaded seating areas perfect for enjoying sunrise coffees or evening cocktails. The lower terrace features cushioned armchairs overlooking expansive sea vistas, complemented by a poolside shower for refreshing breaks. An alfresco dining area on the ground floor terrace, complete with pergola-covered seating and a barbecue grill, invites guests to savour local delicacies under the Greek skies.
Villa Aleksei is located on the southwest coast of the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos, part of the Cyclades in the heart of the Aegean Sea. The exclusive island of Mykonos measures only ten kilometres long by fifteen kilometres wide, so wherever you want to go it’s only a short drive away. The villa is just four kilometres from Mykonos airport, which is served by both local and international flight operators. If you are island hopping the nearby Naxos and Syros also have their own airports. The new port of Mykonos is a hub of activity for those landing and departing from island hopping ferries, or super yachts cruising the Aegean, and is a quick twenty minute drive to the villa. The villa is near the village of Psarou, with a white sandy beach, and local shops for your holiday provisions.
Whilst the village of Ornos is to the north, with two beaches, and streets lined with traditional tavernas. Try Korfos for kitesurfing, Buddha Beach Bar for fun in the sun, or take a boat from Ornos harbour to local beaches and the ancient island of Delos. To the south is Elia and Agrari beaches, offering a selection of water sports, a children’s playground, and cafes and bars, and calmer sea waters than those in the north. Near the villa there is a tennis court, fitness centre, and fishing opportunities. The coast is surrounded by many beautiful golden sandy beaches, take your pick from nearby nudist Elia beach, to the family-friendly favourite of Plays Gialos Beach, or party, party, party all day long on Paradise Beach, with its crystal clear waters, restaurants, bars, and clubs with resident DJs, there’s something for everyone on the island of Mykonos. During daylight hours play penance in one of the eight hundred churches that populate the island, most notably Paraportiani, which is a unique construction combining four styles of architecture.
Take a visit to Mykonos town, known locally as Chora, and only five kilometres from the villa. Here you can wander the maze of streets with the colourful Cycladic houses, and do some serious designer label shopping in one of the many luxury boutiques. Take a table at a seafront restaurant and enjoy a dish of freshly caught seafood, whilst sipping ouzo and watching the beautiful people pass by. Find out the island’s history and culture at the Archaeological Museum, the Folk Museum, and the Maritime Museum, then go out of town to Lena’s House to discover how the islanders lived. Take a walk up to the landmark windmills, known as Kato Mili, where the wheat was ground to make bread and is now a mini museum and residencies. Walk along the waterfront to Little Venice, where original merchant houses overhang the sea, and are now home to cafes, bars, restaurants, and galleries, best enjoyed at sunset with a retsina or two. Admire the Armenistis lighthouse, still fully functioning and an essential asset of Mykonos’ maritime history.
No visit to Mykonos is complete without a day at sea, join a catamaran jolly and snorkel in the sea, or if you’re feeling flush, charter your own yacht and discover secret coves and hidden bays and beaches, and for the romantics, nothing beats a sunset cruise, cocktail in hand as the sun sets over the horizon. Further afield the uninhabited island of Delos is well worth a visit, a unesco World Heritage Site, home to the birthplace of Zeus and Leto, go with a group or arrange your own private tour.
