This stunning Greek villa echoes the traditional architecture of Mykonos

On the beautiful island of Mykonos, just ten minutes from the main town but soaking in solitude, is a glorious and luxurious 10-bed villa. Expect a stunning exterior with 1,000 sq m of living space, sitting on 13,000 sq m of land with the best view on the popular island.

Enjoys views over the sea from the swimming pool

Styled in the traditional white stone, albeit with contemporary flourishes, this villa is set over three floors beside a separate guest house closer to the pool. The hub of the household will be the ground floor, where a stylish kitchen is on show (and the workaday kitchen is more tucked away!) to provide the assembling station for your dinner parties (inside or out).

Stunning terraces are ideal for al-fresco entertaining

In addition to the dining area that seats eight, there is a larger external dining terrace that can be accessed from this floor. The area includes a spacious, bright sitting room with direct access to the pool area and uninterrupted views of the deep blue ocean beyond.

Bright and spacious rooms invite the luminous Greek sunshine inside

There is no shortage of beds for the many visitors that are sure to follow you: there are ten bedrooms, including staff rooms as required. The owner will get to enjoy the impressive master suite, which has access to a private balcony for personal moments of peace.

Ten bedrooms are spread across the property to provide ample accommodation for householders and guests

All bedrooms are accompanied by stylish, sleek bathrooms with a variety of bathing options to suit any householder. For those guests who would prefer their own autonomy while staying over, there is a guest house above the pool complete with bedrooms and a private kitchen-living-dining area.

Classic, neat yet luxurious design is visible throughout the villa

Your outdoor space is as beautifully designed and executed as the interiors, with various shaded and open terraces and a spectacular swimming pool (the salt water variety) with loungers. There is also access to a small private beach if you need to turn the view into a plunge.

Mykonos town – or Chora – is just ten minutes drive away and as pretty as a picture, with its car-free centre and charming knot of boutiques, cafes and restaurants. There is an international airport on the island (approx. 10 minutes drive from the villa) while ferries connect Mykonos with mainland Greece (Athens) as well as many of the other neighbouring islands.

Views from this hillside villa are sublime

Nestled on a hill on the stunning Ionian island of Lefkada, this Greek villa offers the ideal property from which to enjoy the best this beautiful destination has to offer, plus the luxurious seclusion and stunning views we’d all like to have out of our kitchen window…

Spacious driveway starts the splendour of this Scandi-touched home

Night or day, the entrance to this impressive villa is a welcoming prospect. The interiors are elegant and contemporary, touched with a hint of Scandinavian style to make this home comfortable yet chic.

The ground floor is designed around multiple terraces; sliding doors create a seamless flow between out and in

The main section of the house is designed around two terraces, making use of large windows and sliding doors to create a sense of outdoor living even within the walls of the property. There is an open-plan sitting and dining area which opens onto the pool and the outdoor cooking area: a superb hub for entertaining all your friends and optimising the glorious setting.

Large dining area opens onto the terraces where seating areas provide more space for entertaining

The kitchen also has ample space for dining and is kitted out with all the latest conveniences without seeming to be – the slick, sleek design characteristic of the whole house is clearly evident here.

Neat but exquisitely fitted, the wood-toned kitchen is a beautiful space for food prep

In addition to a guest WC, this main floor also has one of the five bedrooms, which could make it ideal for guests in need of the privacy of their own suite. This room has a spacious sleeping area, a dressing area and an en-suite, in addition to a seating area and a terrace.

Five bedrooms are spread across the property and offer impressive views and access to terraces

The bathroom is – as all the bathrooms are – eye-catching and impeccably designed, almost more of an art piece than an area for showering (although the latter is delivered superbly!).

Elegant design in the bathrooms makes these areas more art work than ablutions

Many of the bedrooms could be deemed suites as they offer such space and privacy, some with seating areas and private terraces to allow a busy household to find spaces of contemplation and solitude.

Spacious bedrooms include seating areas for admiring the pool and the sea beyond

There are five bedrooms in total and a full house will surely spend much of the shared time out of doors in the beautiful grounds that surround the main villa.

The infinity pool is the feature of the back terrace, stretching towards the seemingly endless sea

The infinity pool stretches the length of the villa and hangs over the beautiful sea view that the hillside location of the space affords the property. It is surrounded by seating areas for dining and lounging options at different times of the day. You’ll soon find your favourite ‘sunset spot’.

Seating areas have been carefully placed for enjoying sunrises or sunsets

The outdoor kitchen area is just as sophisticated as the indoor facilities, complete with marble worktops, a sink and a barbecue. It will be a serene spot to grill your fresh fish amid the scent of pines, as your guests splash happily in the swimming pool. The dining area will provide one of the most stunning views you will have ever enjoyed with a meal.

A well-equipped outdoor kitchen and covered dining area are bound to be much used through the warm summer days

Despite its island status, Lefkada is accessible via a causeway by car or bus, with the closest airport situated 20km away: Preveza Aktion Airport. In addition to the beautiful beaches and some impressive historical sites, the island has many cafes, bars and restaurants. In Lefkada town, the marina comes alive on summer evenings, but day time pursuits include visiting the museum and the serene ‘Poet’s Garden’.

A grand entrance, circling around a fountain, will prepare owners for the grandeur within

The grounds have been dramatically landscaped to create a truly elegant property

The ‘wow’ factor starts from the moment you enter this property, with the grand entrance hall leading the eye to the glorious circular marble staircase.

A number of fantastic reception rooms spread off this main entrance and are ideal for a range of activities, from recitals and salons to dinners or drinks.

Furnishings are opulent and the multiple reception areas can cater for a range of needs

The villa has been exquisitely designed for ample natural light to cascade into the classical beautiful rooms. Period furnishings and wood panels are used throughout to lend Utopia an aristocratic feel.

Wood panels and darker furnishings lends the study/library a more distinguished style

The run of reception rooms includes a library, dining room and various sitting rooms, as well as a stylish kitchen for meal preparations.

Bright, chic but very spacious kitchen is ideal for those who enjoy cooking (and eating)

Below the ground floor is something of a hidden gem of entertainment space for the days when the pool is less appealing – here you will find a games room and home cinema, as well as a gym and a sauna.

The games room is part of an entertainment area that includes a stylish private bar

There is also a bar area and a dining area, as well as plenty of seating to allow large parties to share a long, cheery evening without disturbing the sleepers on the higher floors.

If you just step behind this curtain you’re in for a big surprise…

The higher floors are packed with bedrooms and bathrooms, all of which are stylish and thoughtfully designed to create distinctive ‘looks’ that will surely appeal to different guests.

Bedrooms are spectacularly furnished and spacious

The master suite is the most impressive, with a seating area to accompany a grand sleeping area, with beautiful furnishings for a truly regal experience.

Bathrooms are large and opulent, complete with showers and baths to cater for all preferences in terms of use. The palatial, aristocratic features continue throughout all these spaces and will ensure even daily ablutions feel spectacular.

The bathrooms are regal and as large as anyone could ever need

In terms of internal property, there is also an auxiliary area (904 sq. m.) which currently houses a garage, a storage area and a security center, with an option for the new owner to build an additional building on the site up to 700 sq.m – this could be an interesting prospect.

Do you think the pool is large enough…? Day or night, the exterior areas are a sheer delight

The grounds are landscaped but the main feature is the vast, inviting swimming pool which will more than cater to full occupancy of the villa! A variety of al-fresco dining areas surround the pool to provide ideal spaces to share meals or coffees at any time of day.

Situated in the popular residential area of Ekali; a slice of peace not far from Athens

Utopia can be found in the popular residential area of Ekali and within close reach of upscale shopping centers, restaurants and bars, art galleries, private country clubs and international schools. Athens International Airport is around 40km away and provides all the required travel connections. The main port of Piraeus is around 30km away – this is where ferries to the Greek islands can be caught. But then, living in a place like Utopia, would you really need to leave it?
