Simone - Vier Schlafzimmer Villa, Schläft 8

A home with golden sands a flip-flop away.

With its laid-back Mykonos vibe, 17m-long infinity pool and gentle sea breezes, Simone is a perfect home for those who wish to do nothing, whiling away the hours gazing out to sea, reclining in style, and contemplating the horizon. But with the gorgeous beach, restaurants and watersports facilities of Kalafati just a 250m-stroll away, it is also sure to satisfy those in search of a little action.

Inside: accommodation at Simone is divided into two distinct areas: a communal hub and a sleeping wing with four bedrooms on a lower level. A covered, secluded veranda with a wood and cane ceiling, connects the former to the latter, which is reached via a staircase. One of the bedrooms is accessed externally.

The communal hub is home to a generously proportioned open-plan space in the form of an L. Three tall picture windows gaze out to sea, a sitting area with a large sink-in corner sofa and a scattering of easy chairs offers plenty of space for lounging, and white wood-beamed ceilings combine with smooth grey-tiled floors to bring a touch of informal elegance. Towards the end of this space is a dining area and wide glass sliding doors opening out onto the main terrace. Finally, an opening allows the space to flow into the well-equipped contemporary kitchen with access to its shaded al fresco counterpart. The stylistic features, the quality of the finishings, the subtle contemporary lighting, and the laid-back vibe of this communal space is replicated throughout the property.

Back on the veranda, off which there is a shower room serving the main terrace and the pool area, a door opens onto a landing and an elegant stairwell with a large panoramic sea-view window above. Following the stairs down one comes to the main sleeping quarters, which comprise three bedrooms accessed from a long corridor with skylights:

• first are a pair of doubles with luxuriously finished en-suite bathrooms with skylights and saloon-door walk-in showers (features common to all the bathrooms), and access to a shared sea-view terrace
• the third is the main bedroom, a generously proportioned double with a long walk-through wardrobe, an en-suite shower room, a sitting area, sea views and access to a shaded section of the shared terrace

Accommodation at Simone is completed by another double bedroom, located next to the suite but accessed externally via a path and steps leading down through the gardens from the pool area. It too comes with its own en-suite shower room, sea views and access to the shared terrace.

Outside: oriented southeast and gazing out over the golden sands and electric blue waters of Kalafati beach, Simone's terraces and gardens offer all you could need for stylish al fresco living.

The communal hub flows out onto an extensive sweep of terrace, which incorporates the gorgeous cobalt-aquamarine infinity pool, a solarium with quality loungers, a trio of whispering olive trees, and a capacious, wood-framed, cane-topped pergola. This latter is home to a bar, curvaceous, well-cushioned built-in seating, a few easy chairs, and a stylish convivial dining area served by both the indoor and the outdoor kitchens.

The pool is bordered on one side by the moulded white walls of the stairwell, whose form evokes a Greek chapel. To the other the terrace opens out into the gardens, which fan out over the roof of the sleeping wing and around the property.

Planted with low-lying Mediterranean shrubs, grasses, flowers and cacti, the gardens are crisscrossed by a weave of paths, two of which lead to the fourth, independently accessed bedroom, and the shared sea-view terrace outside the bedrooms. Here, there is a shaded area with built-in cushioned seating, and, outside the first two bedrooms, a sun-kissed spot.

As with the interiors, subtle lighting has been installed throughout the gardens and terraces, and the effect, when these illuminations are switched on at dusk, is utterly enchanting.

Simone features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop off the infinity side so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.

Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.

While the villa itself remains private, please note that the nearby beach, just steps from the property, can become lively and busier during July and August due to its prime location
