Villa Zenaida Greece

A vacation in Villa Zenaida has the privileged panoramic position of a sweeping views over Mykonos old town and the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea. This beautiful modern villa is located on the west of Mykonos, one of the Cyclades islands, in the heart of the Greek Aegean Sea.
Villa Zenaida has seven spacious en suite bedrooms, five within the main house, and two in separate exterior suites. The villa can comfortably and stylishly accommodate up to fourteen guests, ideal for a large family gathering, or friend’s get together. This three hundred and sixty square metre villa is built over three tiered storeys, constructed out of classic white-washed Cycladic stone, and surrounded by tall palm trees and indigenous succulents. There is private parking for up to three cars, and the villa comes complete with complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout. The interiors are luxurious, with high beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the villa with natural light. The villa is furnished with contemporary pieces, equipped with top of the range facilities, and decorated in an elegant palette of clean crisp whites, shades of grey, and beiges.
Enter the villa through the charming arched gateway to find a holiday home of open plan living with a fabulous view, with floor-to-ceiling sea view windows with billowing white curtains, that let in lots of natural light and air. The seating area has two gorgeous dove grey sofas and matching armchairs, a set of coffee tables, facing a flat-screen cable satellite television, with a DVD and CD player, modern art adorns the walls, and an open fire is there for the cooler months and evenings. Under the arch is a dining area with a smart ten seater table and chairs, ideal for some impressive indoor entertaining. The adjacent all white kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including a built-in oven and hob, dishwasher and microwave, family-size fridge freezer, and that must-have morning coffee maker.
The entrance floor is home to two spacious bedrooms, both with double beds and en suite bathrooms. A handy guest cloakroom completes this floor. Take the traditional white Cycladic stairs to the upper floor, where there are further three double bedrooms. Two of the rooms have double beds, one is a twin with two single beds, all with en suite bathrooms, one with a bath and shower, and all have furnished balconies with stunning sea views. The ground floor is home to two large attached suites, both have twin beds, en suite bathrooms, and sea view verandas, and there is a shared kitchenette for making snacks or midnight feasts.
The terrace is the star of the show, with a superb step entry infinity swimming pool, long enough for a few lengths before breakfast. The pool is surrounded by teak decking, and for the ultimate in relaxation, it is populated with the biggest comfy grey cushioned sun loungers you ever did see. Take shade on a squashy bean bag and lose yourself in this year’s best seller. Catch up with friends and family at the stone seating with a sea view. Have an afternoon snooze on the built-in grey cushioned sofa under the shady pergola. Meet up for cocktails on the terrace as the sun sets over Mykonos town, before eating alfresco at the dining table with a view, with dishes freshly grilled on the barbeque. 
Villa Zenaida is located on the hillside overlooking the old town of the jet set island of Mykonos, part of the Cyclades, in the heart of the Aegean Sea. The exclusive island of Mykonos measures only ten kilometres long by fifteen kilometres wide, so wherever you want to go it’s only a short drive away. The villa is just a few kilometres from Mykonos airport, which is served by both local and international flight operators.
If you are island hopping, then nearby Naxos and Syros also have their own airports. The nearest beach is at Ornos,  a short drive of two and a half kilometres away. The village of Ornos is to the north of the villa, with two beaches, streets lined with traditional tavernas and a harbour with boats that can take you to local beaches and nearby Delos. The coastline is populated by many beautiful golden sandy beaches and beach clubs, take your pick from the fashionable Buddha Beach Bar, the family-friendly favourite of Agios Stephanos, or party, party, party all day long on hedonistic Paradise Beach, with its crystal clear waters, restaurants, bars, and clubs with resident DJs, there’s something for everyone on the island of Mykonos.
During daylight hours play penance in one of the eight hundred churches that populate the island, most notably Paraportiani, which is a unique construction combining four styles of architecture, or nearby the church of St George Spilinnos, uniquely built into the cavity of the rocks. Take a short walk into Mykonos town, known locally as Chora. Here you can wander the maze of streets with the colourful Cycladic houses and beautiful bougainvillaea, and do some serious designer label shopping in one of the many luxury boutiques. Enjoy a moonlit dinner at a seafront restaurant of freshly caught seafood, whilst sipping ouzo, and watching the beautiful people pass by.
Find out the island’s history and culture at the Archaeological Museum, the Folk Museum, and the Maritime Museum, then go out slightly of town to Lena’s House to discover how the islanders lived. Take a walk up to the landmark windmills, or as they are known locally, Kato Mili, where once the wheat was ground to make bread and is now a mini museum and residencies. Walk along the waterfront to Little Venice, where the original and colourful merchant houses overhang the sea, and is now home to cafes, bars, restaurants, and galleries, best enjoyed at sunset with a retsina or two. Admire the Armenistis lighthouse, still fully functioning and an essential asset of Mykonos’ maritime history.
No visit to Mykonos is complete without a day at sea, join a catamaran jolly and snorkel in the sea. If you’re feeling flush, charter your own yacht and discover secret coves and hidden bays and beaches. For the romantics, nothing beats a sunset cruise, cocktail in hand as the sun sets over the horizon. Hop aboard a ferry for a day trip to the adjacent island of Tinos, see the landmark Renaissance-style Church of Panagia Evangelistria, tilt at windmills, visit the fifty villages, walk the ancient fortifications, and coo at the famous dovecotes. Further afield the uninhabited island of Delos is well worth a visit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the birthplace of Zeus and Leto, go with a group or arrange your own private tour.
