About this property
Villa Tourlos is set in the natural landscape at the highest point of Tourlos village, overlooking the new port as the ferries and super yachts dock at the holiday hot spot island of Mykonos, part of the Cyclades, in the heart of the Aegean Sea. This eight bedroom, nine bathroom, villa is built over four storeys set into the hillside, and can comfortably accommodate up to sixteen guests, perfect for a large family gathering or friend’s get together.
This ultra-modern villa is built out of local stone and traditional whitewashed walls, so synonymous with the Greek islands. Positioned high on the hill, this stunning villa offers panoramic views over the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea, Tourlos town and beach, and the busy working port. Set apart, the villa offers privacy and seclusion, and comes with off road parking, complimentary Wi-Fi, and hot and cold air-conditioning throughout. This unique villa has been architect designed to the highest standards in the very distinct Cycladic style. The complementary interior is furnished using lots of natural local woods, wicker, and stone, local art and handcrafted artefacts, funky lighting, and a contemporary neutral colour palette of crisp clean whites, with black and green highlights.
Enter the villa at ground floor level, where there is a light and airy open plan living space, with floor to ceiling windows offering sweeping sea views. The seating area has a wicker white cushioned sofa with matching chairs, and unusual white curved coffee tables, with a flat screen satellite television for your entertainment. There is a second wicker chair soft seating area, with a slightly more relaxed vibe, the perfect hot spot for a morning coffee with a sea view. An adjacent dining area is home to a wood and wicker table and ten chairs, ideal for some impressive indoor entertaining. The all white kitchen is fully equipped with every state-of-the-art appliance you will need to cater for your holiday, including a family size fridge freezer, in-built oven and hob, microwave and dishwasher and that must-have morning coffee maker. There is also a convenient guest cloakroom with WC and hand basin that completes the ground floor. The eight bedrooms are arranged throughout the villa, all of them decorated in white with a variation of black, green, beige and white leaf trim, with wicker and handcrafted driftwood accessories. Four of the bedrooms have double beds, and four have two twin beds, which can be pushed together to make doubles if desired. The bedrooms all have smart fitted wardrobes, soft seating areas, flat screen TVs, ensuite marble bathrooms with walk-in showers and stone hand basins, and large fully furnished balconies with stunning sea views.
The terrace and gardens can be accessed from the living area, and is home to a beautiful roman step entry rectangular infinity swimming pool, just imagine a few lengths before breakfast, or a lazy dip after sunbathing. The pool is surrounded by uber cool white sun loungers, moulded to the contours of your body, with cute little side tables to place your coffee and cocktails. Relax in one of the two swing seats, or curl up on the white egg-shaped chairs reading this year’s best seller. Dine alfresco under the shaded pergola covered wooden table with ten chairs, whilst your food is prepared in the outdoor kitchen and barbeque by a private chef. Watch the sunset cocktail in hand, from the terrace and natural garden surrounds, under the twinkling Grecian skies.
Villa Tourlos is located on the hillside of the village of Tourlos, overlooking the busy new port 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 four kilometres 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.
The coastal village of Tourlos on the North East side of the island, and is surprisingly cosmopolitan, with celebrity spotting seafront bars and traditional tavernas, and local mini marts to cater for all of your holiday cooking. The coast is surrounded by 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, there’s something for everyone on the island of Mykonos. 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, or nearby the church of St George Spilinnos, uniquely built into the cavity of the rocks.
Take a visit to Mykonos town, 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 an ouzo, 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 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 are 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, and 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.
