About this property
Villa Osias is a beautiful modern villa, located within a hillside amphitheatre, overlooking Mykonos old town, and the crystal clear waters of the Greek Aegean Sea. The villa has eight spacious en suite bedrooms, three within the main house, and five in separate exterior suites. The villa can comfortably and stylishly accommodate up to sixteen guests and is ideal for a large family gathering, or friend’s get together.
This three hundred and eighty three square metre architect-designed villa is built over three tiered storeys, and constructed out of classic white-washed Cycladic stone. The villa comes with private parking, and an alarm system for peace of mind and security, and for your comfort and entertainment, it has complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout. The interiors are luxurious, with wood timber beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the villa with natural light. Villa Osias is furnished with contemporary pieces, equipped with top of the range facilities, dressed with some seriously funky modern art and sculptures, and decorated in an elegant palette of clean crisp whites, shades of grey, and beiges.
Enter the main villa to find a holiday home of open plan living with a stunning vista, with floor-to-ceiling sea view windows and billowing white curtains, that let in lots of natural light and air. The seating area has two comfy grey beige sofas and matching chaise longue, 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 modern 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. On this level there are three separate attached suites, all with double beds, en suite bathrooms, and substantial verandas with sea views. Take the traditional white Cycladic stairs to the upper floor, where there is a master bedroom, with a double bed, an en suite bathroom, and a beautifully furnished balcony with sweeping sea views, the perfect place to watch the sunrise and start the day well. Take the internal stairs down to the ground floor where there are two more large attached suites, one with a double bed, the other with two single beds, both have en suite bathrooms, and large sea view verandas.
The terrace is simply glorious, whether you wake up to watch the sunrise over the sea drinking tea, or sit back and watch the sunset cocktail in hand, as the stars begin to twinkle over Mykonos town, the views will get you every time. The centre of attention is the superb step entry infinity swimming pool, long enough for a few lengths before breakfast. The pool is surrounded by big comfy grey cushioned sun loungers with superbly positioned strategic sea views. Running parallel, under a shady pergola, is a smart grey cushioned built-in sofa with free standing matching chairs, and state of the art coffee tables. The perfect place for a lazy afternoon catching up on this year’s best seller, or meeting for sundowners as the sun sets over the horizon. End the day with dinner at the alfresco dining table, served with dishes freshly grilled on the barbeque, and watch the lights of Mykonos town come to life.
Villa Osias 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, and 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 Super 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.
Mykonos town, known locally as Chora is a ten minute drive away. 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.
