Villa Tourlos View Greece

Vacation with a vista when you holiday in Villa Tourlos View, overlooking the northeast coast of the exclusive island of Mykonos in the heart of the Greek Aegean Sea. This charming loggia style villa has two ensuite bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to six guests, perfect for a family or a couple of friends sharing. The villa benefits from sitting atop of the town, with sweeping panoramic views across the azure waters of the Aegean Sea. Villa Tourlos View is built on a single storey with classic Cycladic whitewashed walls, and a local stone surround. The villa has a splendid tiled terrace with a private infinity swimming pool and stunning sea views. The property has on-road parking and comes complete with complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout. The interiors are decidedly modern, with contemporary furniture, and decorated with a palette of crisp clean white, and muted shades of grey and beige, with pastel colour highlights.
Access the property through a stone arch, and enter the villa to discover a light and airy holiday home. The sitting room has a soft blue sofa and a pale pink armchair, arranged around coffee and side tables, facing a flat-screen smart television, and French doors that lead out onto the pool terrace. There is a dining set just made for indoor entertaining, and doors that open onto the terrace. The slate grey kitchen is fully equipped with all of the appliances you will need to cater for your holiday, including a fridge freezer, built-in oven and hob, a dishwasher and that must-have morning coffee maker. There are two beautifully appointed spacious white and grey bedrooms, each with a double bed, an open wardrobe, a dressing table, and a sofa bed for guests. Double doors open straight onto the terrace, perfect to slip straight out of bed and into the pool for a morning swim. Both bedrooms have large ensuite grey and white state-of-the-art bathrooms, with walk-in showers, hand basins, and WCs.
The tiled sea view terrace has a step-entry infinity swimming pool as the star of the show. The pool has an inset for two sun loungers, relax and dip your toes in the cooling water as you bathe in the rays, catching up with this year’s best seller. Huge fat double and single grey cushion sun loungers and pouffes surround the pool, lie back and enjoy the view of the boats sailing by. As the sun sets meet on the terrace for sundowners, before feasting alfresco at the eight-seater dining set, and the stars begin to twinkle over Mykonos town.
Villa Tourlos View is located on the hillside of the village of Tourlos, on 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 six 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 coastal village of Tourlos is on the North East side of the island, and is fabulously cosmopolitan, with celebrity-spotting seafront bars and traditional tavernas, and local mini-marts to cater for all your holiday catering. The coastline is populated with many beautiful golden sandy beaches, take your pick from nearby Tourlos to 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. 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 visit to Mykonos old town, known locally as Chora, only five kilometres from the villa. Here you can wander the maze of streets with the colourful Cycladic houses, and do some serious designer shopping in one of the many luxury label boutiques. Choose a table at a seafront restaurant and enjoy a dish 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, and 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 as the sun sets 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, or charter your own yacht complete with a captain, 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, visit 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. And of course, you can always island hop from the new port of Mykonos, where the Aegean Sea is your oyster.
