Milos Dream

Perched on the waterfront in Pollonia, this villa puts the Aegean right at your feet – step onto the stone terrace and you're watching fishing boats drift past as the sun drops behind the hills. Inside, it's all about fuss-free, Cycladic charm. But it's the location that steals the show. Sandy beach access is just down the stairs, Pelekouda Beach is a three-minute walk away, and village cafes and bars are well under 300 metres from your door. Daily housekeeping and a welcome hamper mean you can arrive and unwind immediately, saving your energy for the boat trips out to Kleftiko's sea caves and the surreal lunar landscape of Sarakiniko, just 5 kilometres away.

Home truths:
* One bedroom includes a double sofa bed, and there's a second sofa bed in the living area. However, space may feel a little tight, so we recommend this home for a maximum of four guests.
* You'll want a car to get around the island comfortably, especially if you'd like to explore further afield.
* The villa is set in Pollonia's Pelekouda area, right on the seafront – expect to hear some noise from the boats and beachgoers throughout your stay.
* Daily housekeeping is included with your stay.
