Description Hold My Hand: Mikonos

Gaze out over rolling island landscapes and magical Mykonos Town from the top of the stairs leading down to this hilltop villa's private infinity pool. Given the island's summer climate, the poolside terrace is tailor-made for relaxing in shaded seating areas, tucking into barbecued meals and stretching out on sun loungers. However, the spacious interiors are no less lovely, with the bedrooms offering unrestricted sea views. Nearby beaches offer a choice between beach clubs serving up deep house and punchy drinks, or secluded coves inhabited by the occasional naturist. Elsewhere, the atmospheric alleyways, waterside cocktail bars and romantic restaurants of Mykonos Old Town are just a short drive away.

Home truths:
*While some of the bathrooms and bedrooms aren’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home

*The villa overlooks the airport, so you'll there'll be noise from the occasional passing plane

*Access to the villa is via a private entrance

*Given the location, a car is a necessity – there's on-site parking available

*The dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace

*The pool is at the bottom of a set of steep steps, so the villa may not be suitable for guests with more limited mobility
