Cocktails over Kalafatis

Perched on a Mykonian hillside, this stone-terraced villa is built around an infinity pool that seems to pour straight into the Aegean – swim a length as the sun dips and you'll understand why it's hard to leave. A built-in hot tub, shaded reed canopy for alfresco dining, and a sunken terrace with views over the hills give you several more unhurried ways to spend a day. Below the main level, a spa, gym, and playroom add additional options for unwinding – that's if you don't decide to spend all your time on beautiful Paralia Kalo Livadi beach, less than a ten-minute drive away.

Home truths:
* While not all the bedrooms and bathrooms have been photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s parking for up to six vehicles on the premises. The car park sits at the very top of the structure, with the elevator running down to the main level only. If you're arriving with heavy luggage or shopping, it's worth knowing that the lift won't take you all the way to every floor.
* There's no direct walking route to the nearest beach here – you'll need to drive.
* Daily housekeeping and twice-weekly linen changes are included at this home.
