One of a pair of villas perched on a hilltop on the east side of Mykonos, guests staying here are treated to a simply stunning view of rolling green hillsides, some of the island's beaches and the Aegean Sea stretching beyond. It's the sort of panorama that you'll barely tire of gawping at and fortunately, there are plenty of spots where you can do just that. The swimming pool in the middle of the outdoor space is one option, but the scenery is no less impressive from one of the loungers or the table underneath the pergola. If the exterior is dominated by bright colours, it's the complete opposite when you step inside the home. Cleansingly white walls, ceilings and furnishings are both strikingly modern and instantly soothing on hot afternoons. Much like many a contemporary art gallery, they also act as a blank canvas, particularly in the bedrooms where some upliftingly colourful murals have been added. Even better, just five minutes in the car will get you to some local attractions, like the village of Ano-Mera and its market, as well as the beaches of Kalo Livadi, Agia Anna, Lia and Kalafati.
