It’s a holiday match made in heaven when you vacation in Villa Matthias, located on the east coast of the island of Antiparos, a jewel in the heart of the Greek Aegean Sea. This luxury beachfront property has seven spacious ensuite bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to fourteen guests, ideal for a large family gathering, or friends get-together. Villa Matthias is an impressive detached three hundred and seventy square metre property, surrounded by ancient olive groves. The villa is built in two sections over two storeys, with a veranda and paved terrace, a natural garden populated with mature trees and indigenous shrubs, its own private infinity swimming pool, and stunning sea views.

Villa Matthias is the largest of a small luxury five-detached independent villa estate, located on the east coast beachfront on Antiparos. All the villas benefit from breathtaking panoramic sea views and have access to two private cove-like pebble and sandy beaches, which shoulder the properties. The villas are built in the traditional architectural Cycladic style, with whitewashed walls, and local natural stone, surrounded by lush gardens, populated with Mediterranean plants, flowers, aromatic herbs, and ancient olive groves. The properties are as lovely inside as out, each one is beautifully appointed and fully fitted to top-notch specifications. The décor is a gentle neutral palette of crisp whites, soft beiges and creams, and subtle greys, whilst the furnishings are rustically simple, using lots of local handcrafted natural wood. There is a shared tennis court and basketball court within the complex and in the evenings a barbeque area where you can wine and dine, and treat yourself to your own private chef upon request. All the villas come with a daily maid service, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi throughout, flat screen televisions in every guestroom and the living area, a DVD and CD player, as well as complimentary Apivita luxury toiletries in all the bathrooms.

Enter the villa at ground floor level where you will discover a light and airy holiday home of open plan living. The lounge has a big comfy three-seater and two-seater sofa, a large wooden coffee table, arranged in front of a rustic open fire, and a flat-screen television. The adjacent dining area has a long wooden table and chairs, ideal for some relaxed indoor entertaining, The fully equipped white and stainless steel kitchen has everything you will need to cater for a happy holiday, including a built-in oven and hob, a family-sized fridge freezer, and a useful table for preparation, and breakfast get-togethers. Take the stairs to the lower ground floor where there are two large, fully furnished, stone-floored, double bedrooms. Each with hand-crafted furniture, modern bathrooms with walk-in showers, and louvred French doors that open onto the sea-view terrace. This floor is also home to a twin room with two single beds, suitable for children, and a separate bathroom. There are further four very spacious sea-view double bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, and access to the terraces.

The veranda-style top terrace has a comfy soft seating area, ideal for meeting for a morning coffee, or curling up in the shade with this year’s bestseller. There is a smart rattan dining table and chairs, strategically positioned for maximum sea views. Take the stone stairs to the lower tiled terrace, where there is a centrepiece step-entry infinity swimming pool, which is long enough for a few lengths before breakfast.

As the sun sets, meet for cocktails on the terrace, then feast alfresco at the poolside dining table and watch in wonder as the stars come out to shine.
