About this property
Perched along the hillside of Kounoupas with views that roll effortlessly from rugged Mykonian hills to the glimmering blue of the Aegean, Villa Iriselle is a serene retreat designed for those who seek both privacy and connection. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of calm woven into every corner, light-filled spaces, clean lines, and thoughtful touches that bring comfort without excess.
This single-level home is part of an exclusive gated complex of five villas, yet Villa Iriselle enjoys a strong sense of seclusion. The interiors are understated yet refined, where natural materials, soft textures, and a muted palette invite you to settle in and slow down. The open plan living and dining area is beautifully arranged, flowing into a sleek kitchen that’s both practical and stylish. Indoor-outdoor living is seamless, with large glass doors framing the ever-changing views and drawing you outside.
All three bedrooms are en suite and thoughtfully positioned for both privacy and flow. Two master bedrooms lead directly onto their own private terraces, a quiet space to enjoy the sunrise or sink into a book with the sea in the distance. Each room carries the same pared-back design ethos, creating an atmosphere that’s warm, uncluttered, and deeply relaxing.
Outside, a private pool invites you to cool off after a day exploring the island, while loungers are shaded under a pergola that keeps the heat at bay. There’s a well-equipped barbecue area, ideal for gathering with friends and family over a slow, alfresco meal, and indoor-outdoor speakers set the tone for lazy lunches and sunset drinks.
Despite its peaceful position, Villa Iriselle is just ten minutes by car from Mykonos Town, offering the best of both worlds. Days can begin with a swim in the quiet morning light and end in the island’s lively heart, returning home to your hillside perch above it all.
Villa Iriselle is set on the slopes of Kounoupas, a tranquil and elevated area of Mykonos that offers expansive views, a refreshing breeze, and welcome distance from the island’s busier stretches. From its hillside position, the villa feels completely at ease with the surrounding nature, wild grasses and rock formations give way to uninterrupted vistas of the Aegean Sea. Yet within just ten minutes, you can be immersed in the maze-like lanes and cosmopolitan buzz of Mykonos Town.
This makes Villa Iriselle the perfect base for travellers who want to dip in and out of island life. Spend the day shopping for handmade jewellery and designer beachwear, wandering through whitewashed alleys, or sipping coffee in Little Venice as the water laps below. By night, the town transforms into a vibrant hotspot, full of waterfront restaurants, cocktail bars and live music tucked into candlelit courtyards.
The nearest beach, Megali Ammos, is just a 14-minute drive away and offers an unpretentious stretch of sand close to town, perfect for a relaxed swim or a barefoot stroll. For more variety, you’re never far from other iconic shores like Psarou, Paraga or Super Paradise—all within easy reach by car.
Closer to the villa, the area surrounding Kounoupas is dotted with family-owned tavernas and hillside chapels, giving you a glimpse of authentic Cycladic life. There’s also a nearby monastery in Ano Mera, just a short drive inland, where you can explore peaceful courtyards and learn about the island’s spiritual history.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the elevated terrain around the villa provides striking walking routes and scenic photo spots, especially at sunrise or golden hour. With the airport just a ten-minute drive away and the port a little further, Villa Iriselle is well connected while still delivering a sense of detachment that feels deeply restful.
Whether you’re planning to explore or simply to exhale, this corner of Mykonos offers the best of both worlds.
