About this property
Villa Zenaida offers a panoramic view of Mykonos old town and the Aegean Sea. This modern villa is located on the west of Mykonos, one of the Cyclades islands, in the Greek Aegean Sea.
The villa features seven spacious ensuite bedrooms, with five in the main house and two in separate exterior suites, accommodating up to fourteen guests. The 360 square meter villa spans three tiers, constructed from white-washed Cycladic stone, and surrounded by palm trees and succulents. It includes private parking for up to three cars and provides complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The interiors have high beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, furnished with contemporary pieces and decorated in whites, greys, and beiges.
Upon entering through an arched gateway, the villa offers open-plan living with sea-view windows and white curtains. The dining area features a ten-seater table, while the adjacent kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer, and coffee maker.
The entrance floor has two bedrooms with double beds and ensuite bathrooms, as well as a guest cloakroom. The upper floor, accessed by traditional Cycladic stairs, has three more bedrooms: two with double beds, one twin with two singles, all with ensuite bathrooms and furnished balconies. The ground floor has two suites with twin beds, ensuite bathrooms, sea-view verandas, and a shared kitchenette.
The terrace includes an infinity swimming pool, teak decking, and grey cushioned sun loungers. Guests can relax on bean bags, stone seating, or built-in sofas under a pergola. The terrace is ideal for socializing, with a dining table for alfresco meals and a barbecue for grilling.
Villa Zenaida is located on the hillside overlooking the old town of the jet set 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 a few kilometres from Mykonos airport, which is served by both local and international flight operators.
If you are island hopping, then nearby Naxos and Syros also have their own airports. The nearest beach is at Ornos, a short drive of two and a half kilometres away. The village of Ornos is to the north of the villa, with two beaches, streets lined with traditional tavernas and a harbour with boats that can take you to local beaches and nearby Delos. The coastline is populated by many beautiful golden sandy beaches and beach clubs, take your pick from the fashionable Buddha Beach Bar, the family-friendly favourite of Agios Stephanos, or party, party, party all day long on hedonistic 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, or nearby the church of St George Spilinnos, uniquely built into the cavity of the rocks. Take a short walk into Mykonos town, known locally as Chora. Here you can wander the maze of streets with the colourful Cycladic houses and beautiful bougainvillaea, and do some serious designer label shopping in one of the many luxury boutiques. Enjoy a moonlit dinner at a seafront restaurant 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 slightly of town to Lena’s House to discover how the islanders lived. Take a walk up to the landmark windmills, or as they are known locally, Kato Mili, where once the wheat was ground to make bread and is now a mini museum and residencies. Walk along the waterfront to Little Venice, where the original and colourful merchant houses overhang the sea, and is 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. If you’re feeling flush, charter your own yacht and discover secret coves and hidden bays and beaches. For the romantics, nothing beats a sunset cruise, cocktail in hand as the sun sets over the horizon. Hop aboard a ferry for a day trip to the adjacent island of Tinos, see the landmark Renaissance-style Church of Panagia Evangelistria, tilt at windmills, visit the fifty villages, walk the ancient fortifications, and coo at the famous dovecotes. 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.
