Open the sliding doors from the living space to the flagstone pool terrace, which is home to a pergola covered fully-equipped wooden kitchen, with state-of-the-art integrated appliances, including an American style family sized fridge, microwave and dishwasher, oven and hob. The adjacent eighteen-seater wood dining table and chairs is seriously impressive, and the perfect place to enjoy some alfresco entertaining under the Aegean skies, especially if it’s the local delicacies grilled on the built-in barbeque. Work off any excess with a swim in the step entry infinity pool, wallow in the summer sunshine as you enjoy the superb sea views, before relaxing on one of the surrounding sun loungers under a shady parasol. There is also a convenient separate guest loo and useful shower room adjacent to the pool. The terrace is just part of the extensive grounds and garden, populated with indigenous shrubs and trees, wonderful for a morning stroll before the heat of the day. The other six bedrooms are accommodated on the lower ground floor of the main building, some of which are suites, and some ensuite bedrooms, all of them beautifully dressed in cool white linens and hand-crafted wooden furnishings. The largest is a three bedroom family sized suite, which consists of a spacious seating area, with a black cushioned wicker sofa, a white soft seating chair, a fabulous beige cushioned pouffe, all worked around a handmade wooden coffee table, facing a flat screen satellite television.

Villa Mykonos Roc is built into the rocks of the bay of Paralia Ftelia and is just three hundred metres from the beach front, enjoying sweeping panoramic Aegean Sea views. The villa complex is located in the northern part of the island of Mykonos, part of the Cyclades in the heart of the Aegean Sea, and noted for its strong winds. 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 nine kilometres, a twenty minute drive from Mykonos airport, which is served by both local and international flight operators. If you are island hopping the nearby Naxos and Syros also have their own airports. You’ll be surprised by how much there is to see and do on this small but oh so charming island. The Mykonos coast is surrounded by many beautiful golden sandy beaches, take your pick from the nearby windsurfer’s favourite Ftelia beach and its uber trendy alfresco beach clubs, to the family-friendly Playa Gialos Beach, or party, party, party all day long on Paradise Beach, with its crystal clear waters, restaurants, bars, and clubs with resident DJs, there’s something for everyone on the island of Mykonos. The inland village of Ano Mera is slightly south of the villa, where you will find a traditional Cycladic town with a rustic vibe, home to the sixteenth century restored monastery of Penagia Tourliani, a white washed complex of orthodox churches, bell tower, fountain and fabulous frescoes and icons. Walk the cobbled streets to discover lots of local eateries, including a bakery, homely tavernas, and cool cafes. If you are feeling active join one of the walking trails that cover the island and discover the local flora and fauna, and make sure you stop off at a wine tour along the way. Near to the villa there is a farm tour, where you can partake of a barbeque, or walk up to Gyzi Castle situated above the village of Ano Mera. During daylight hours play penance in one of the eight hundred churches than populate the island, most notably Paraportiani, which is a unique construction combining four styles of architecture. Take a visit to must-see Mykonos town, known locally at Chora, and only seven kilometres from the villa. Here you can wander the maze of streets with the colourful Cycladic houses, do some serious designer dress shopping in one of the many luxury label boutiques, before taking a table at a seafront restaurant and enjoying a dish of freshly caught seafood, whilst sipping and ouzo whilst 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 of town to Lena’s House to discover how the islanders lived. Take a walk up to the island’s landmark windmills, or as they are known locally, Kato Mili, where the wheat was ground to make bread, and is now a mini museum and residencies. Walk along the waterfront to Little Venice, where original colourful merchant houses overhang the sea, that are now home to cafes, bars, restaurants and galleries, best enjoyed at sunset with an ouzo 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 fun and sun day at sea, join a catamaran jolly and snorkel in the Aegean, if you’re feeling flush, charter your own yacht and discover secret coves and hidden bays and beaches, and for the romantics nothing beats a sunset cruise, cocktail in hand as the sun sets over the horizon. 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.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
