Carved into the wild hillside above the sea, Villa Mandrakia is a peaceful Cycladic retreat with sweeping views of the Aegean and a rare sense of privacy. Tucked into stone-walled terraces just above the postcard-perfect fishing village of Mandrakia, this home feels delightfully removed yet remains just a short stroll from the beach and one of Milos’ most beloved tavernas.
As you wander through the villa’s sun-dappled paths, you’ll discover four distinct units, each with its own entrance and veranda, offering a beautifully flexible layout for families or groups. Inside, the décor is crisp and calming, whitewashed walls, sea-blue shutters, and light wood finishes create a breezy island atmosphere. The main house features a fully equipped kitchen, spacious dining area, and a comfortable lounge that easily transforms into an additional bedroom, complete with a private bathroom and closing door for privacy.
The other three units offer a blend of self-sufficiency and connection, with well-equipped kitchenettes, inviting living spaces and verandas made for al fresco breakfasts or sunset dinners. Thoughtful details like wind-protective glass panels and shaded seating ensure comfort whatever the weather.
Outside, a heated pool sits at the heart of the villa, hemmed in by natural stone and facing the sea. Sun loungers are perfectly placed for long, lazy afternoons, while the terraces above invite guests to curl up with a book, a glass of wine, or simply the view.
Villa Mandrakia's location is something truly special. From here, the island seems to unfold in every direction. The sandy cove just below the villa invites morning swims, while the charming Medusa restaurant next door offers fresh seafood and traditional flavours right by the water’s edge. With Plaka and the airport both just 10 minutes away, you’ll find comfort, culture and coastline all within easy reach.
Whether shared with friends or extended family, Villa Mandrakia offers the gentle pace and effortless charm of island life, surrounded by beauty, bathed in light and deeply rooted in the character of Milos.
