Villa Aleo

Seeing is believing when you vacation at the award-winning, architect-designed, uber luxurious Villa Mandra, on the south coast of the holiday hot spot of Mykonos in the Greek Aegean Sea. This incredibly swish villa is perched on the escarpment of a hillside, hidden from view to the onlooker, yet with unobstructed panoramic views across crystal clear waters to the neighbouring island of Delos.

The villa is built over two storeys, in two blocks, one of which is cleverly submerged to a lower eye level, yet still commands stunning sea views. The central courtyard is the social hub of the house, where guests can gather to appreciate the beauty of the setting, swim in the infinity pool, and sip cocktails at sunset. The concept of Villa Mandra combines mother nature’s gifts with the latest modern technology, and a superb sense of style, to create the ultimate relaxing holiday home. The villa comes with private parking, complimentary air conditioning and Wi-FI, a Smart Home Control 4 system, and two dedicated team members.

This five ensuite bedroom villa can house up to ten guests, ideal for a large family gathering or a group of friends get-together. The villa is built of classic Cycladic white-washed walls, set within stone-walled gardens, that screen it for a sense of privacy and seclusion. The interiors are exquisite, designed with minimalism in mind, for maximum visual impact, and furnished with traditional Cycladic materials, including lime wash, local stone, and natural wood. The décor is a palette of subtle earth tones, which creates a warm, welcome, calm, and tranquil ambience.

The ground floor level has the most inviting living space, light, bright, and breezy, and furnished to the very highest specifications, with integral B&O and Sonos surround sound systems. The seating area has deep cushioned sofas, natural woven chairs, handcrafted coffee tables, and a smart television with a DVD player. There is an elegant indoor dining set to seat ten guests for the most impressive indoor entertaining. Walk down the connecting corridor which is hung with contemporary art, to the state-of-the-art kitchen. The professional Boffi kitchen is fully equipped with the very latest Gaggenau home appliances, and those must-have Rocket and Nespresso coffee machines, as well as an informal dining area. A private chef is yours for the asking by prior arrangement.

The lower ground floor is home to five spacious beautifully-appointed ensuite double bedrooms, with access to the lower terrace and sea views. For those who wish to work on a holiday, there’s room for you too. In addition 4 of the 5 bedrooms along with the entire villa have a sunset view. Which is why the area of Aleomandra is considered among the best. The shared communal space is where you will be spending most of your time, dipping in and out of the sea-view infinity swimming pool, and relaxing on the plethora of deeply cushioned sun loungers that populate the terrace. Work out at the Techno gym, and if you desire, the concierge can arrange yoga sessions and spa services with a sea view. Take morning coffee under the shady chestnut pergola as you watch the yachts sail by. Enjoy some downtime after the sun sets, and meet on the terrace for sundowners, before feasting alfresco at the outdoor dining set with dishes freshly grilled on the barbeque, and the Grecian stars come out to shine.
