Mint & Olive

Mint & Olive: Aegean South

Built in 1832 for a powerful local family, this enormous Neoclassical villa is one of a kind. Set over two floors, the villa overlooks the sea and hills of Sifnos. The home will suit families or groups who love to spend time outdoors – the large terrace and hammock-strewn gardens are perfect for lazy days in the sun – and like their holiday properties with some character. The insides are a little eccentric, but that’s part of the charm of this home.
