Villa Caster

About this property

For a sublime, luxurious holiday experience, you can’t do better than the wonderful Villa Caster. With a magical blend of Mykonian dazzling white curves, whitewashed beams, sumptuous trendy furnishings, ultra-modern fittings and gorgeous wooden design features, Villa Caster will melt your heart and make you very quickly fall in love with it. It features seven heavenly bedroom suites, sleeping fourteen guests that won’t want to leave! It has been brilliantly crafted into the rocks in Agios Ioannis Diakoftis with sublime sea views looking out to mesmerising islands of Delos and Rhenia. 

Agios Ioannis Diakoftis is a fabulous location, just minutes from the beating heart of this ever popular island and the superb beaches of Ornos, Psarrou and Agios Ioannis. It was named after a small chapel standing above it and is famous for being the filming location of the award-winning film ‘Shirley Valentine’ in 1989 before Mykonos became the hot spot destination it is today. Very close to the villa, the sheltered Ornos Beach is one of the island’s trendiest with crystal clear water, plenty of watersports, loungers, umbrellas, beach bars and restaurants. There is a daily boat service to other beaches on the island including Psarou, Elia, Agari and Super Paradise as well as buses that go to Mykonos Town. 

Villa Caster’s dazzling white exterior and mellow stonework look amazing in its rocky location against splashes of garden greenery and the blues of the sea and sky. It is a sprawling villa with bedrooms in guest houses as well as in the main villa. Its terraces are truly magnificent with very stylish alfresco lounge and dining spaces, trendy luxury day beds and a fantastic infinity swimming pool. From its hillside location, it looks as though the infinity pool and terrace are perched over the sea. Everything about Villa Caster is first class from its furnishings, to the design features, the views and the finishing touches. The pool is the perfect place to swim with a view, listening to the soothing sounds of the sea and being mesmerised by the breathtaking views. 

The living area of Villa Caster is incredibly artistic with gently curved dazzling white walls being the canvas for some meticulously curated wooden design items. It looks rather like an art gallery though sadly you cannot take anything home! The beautiful beamed ceilings match the mellow tones of the wooden floor, blending brilliantly with all of the other features and furnishings. The main living space is a few steps lower than the dining and kitchen areas. It comes with two sumptuous sofas, gorgeous pouffes, oversized vases and super cool wooden lamps and giant wooden candle holders. At the far end, some trendy accent chairs look out to sea. It is absolutely fabulous. The raised dining area is also wonderful, next to a sleek, contemporary kitchen offering all the appliances you would wish for. 

You may have to draw straws for the exquisite master bedroom on the upper level. It boasts breathtaking sea views out to the picturesque islands of Delos and Rhenia, a beautifully dressed, lavish kingsize bed, a stunning living area with a television and sofa, two ensuite bathrooms with showers, access to a terrace and a thoroughly romantic ambience. On the lower level, you will discover two very unique double rooms with ensuite bathrooms and glass windows looking directly into the swimming pool. It is an amazing feature and such fun watching your children kick about in the pool. 

The remaining four bedrooms are all located in guest houses, dreamy spaces with wonderful design features. They all enjoy immaculate, stylish shower rooms. The first guest house comes with a private entrance, king size bed and a terrace. This guest house can be used as a connecting room with the second guest house. This also enjoys an ensuite and terrace access but comes with a kingsize bed and an attic double futon bed so might be suitable for a family within the holiday group. The last two guest houses enjoy their own private entrances, comfy kingsize beds and exquisite ensuite shower rooms. These rooms allow for some privacy. 

Villa Caster is a very special home with a magical blend of ingredients to ensure that you experience the Mykonian holiday of your dreams. You will be sad to leave!

Villa Caster enjoys a superb position looking out to the dreamy Delos and Rhenia islands from Agios Ioannis Diakoftis. It is a heavenly picture where the blues of the infinity pool, the sea and the sky all merge into a beautiful collage. Agios Ioannis Diakoftis was where ‘Shirley Valentine’ was filmed all those years ago. It is one of the quieter beaches but very close to the lively capital and the trendy Ornos Beach. Sitting in the southwestern corner of this lovely island, Ornos Beach is the closest to the capital so is very popular with buses making the journey very easy. It offers a diving school as well as waterskiing and windsurfing instruction. There are plenty of beach bars and fab restaurants.

It can get very busy so you can also walk to the quieter Agios Ioannis and Kapari beaches. Other popular beaches include Kalo Livadi which is set in a valley sprinkled with sugar-cubed homes. It comes with a stunning long ribbon of sand, sun loungers and straw umbrellas and some excellent watersports. With a laid back atmosphere, it is great for a relaxed beach day. Elia, Psarou, Paraga, Paradise, Kalafatis and Plati Gialos are all firm favourites. Elia Beach, on the south coast of the island, boasts Mykonos’ longest sweep of sand. The rainbow flag at the end of the beach marks its lgbt stretch of sand. Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beaches, also on the south coast, are the home of some of the island’s most famous nightclubs.

Mykonos certainly adds a touch of glamour to the Greek Islands, competing with the likes of Ibiza. This wonderful island is brimming with gorgeous white sandy beaches, most offering buzzy beach bars and watersports. It also boasts a long list of nightclubs, a wonderful array of fine dining restaurants, vibrant cocktail bars, classy boutiques and charming whitewashed villages. It is little wonder that Mykonos is a celebrity hot spot. 

The lovely village of Ano Mera should definitely be on your ‘to do’ list. Sitting almost in the heart of the island, this picturesque village offers classical Cycladic beauty, quaint narrow streets, traditional tavernas, unique shops and its famous monastery of Panagia Tourliani. The monastery was built in the 15th century and is one of the main attractions of the whole island. Ano Mera’s main square is pedestrianised and surrounded by charming cafes and tavernas that are renowned for their excellent Mykonian meats cooked on the spit and barbecue. You will also discover the ‘Kopanisti’ workshop where the local delicious spicy cheese is made. 

You can either drive or take a bus to Mykonos Town, the island’s capital. It boasts an enchanting warren of spidery, narrow lanes covered in bougainvillea. Lavished with picturesque churches, quirky art galleries, chic boutiques, jewellery shops and charming restaurants, visitors love an afternoon meander. The town’s museums, the Archaeological Museum and the Aegean Maritime Museum are worth a stop. The ethereal beauty of Little Venice is a favourite haunt of highly acclaimed artists and Instagram followers. It is one of the most romantic places on the island with elegant old houses sitting on the edge of the sea creating a magical aura and an abundance of buzzy bars.

Tourlos is located on the north side of the island, just 2.5km from Mykonos Town. It enjoys a magnificent port, a stop for many cruise ships, and a smart harbour. The houses are freshly painted with colourful shutters and draped in vibrant bougainvillea and other pretty flowers. Many celebrities have chosen to build luxury villas here. The Chapel of St George Spilianos, north of the harbour, is delightful. It is built into the cavity of a rock with a lovely ambience and where you can light a candle. Tourlos boasts a magical, organised beach with watersports.
