A Stone Across Water

A Stone Across Water: Mykonos

Found on nearly half a hectare of Mykonos land, this luxurious home is a homage to beauty and tranquillity. Step inside to see how natural, rustic elements like exposed brickwork and beams sit side by side with modern finishes. A sturdy wooden table stretches across the dining space as natural light comes streaming through the windows, making it the perfect place for breakfast and deliberation.

The sofa, a cushy L-shape tucked into the corner, will be the family bookworm’s idea of heaven as they sprawl out with a few dozen books and a freshly-brewed cup of coffee. From this spot, family time can be had by watching a movie together or cracking out a board or card game.

With access to the terrace or balconies upstairs, the bedrooms are made even more idyllic by the ability to step outside whenever you’d like. Watch sunrises from the balcony or stay out late-night to enjoy a bit of last-minute stargazing.

Of course, the showstopper here is the outdoor area. Lounge in the sun, dip into the pool whenever Helios is at his apex, dine alfresco at sunset, and whatever you do, keep an eye on the beautiful horizon.

For days out, explore the coast by stopping off at all the beaches within driving distance, starting with Platis Gialos. Dine at the seafront restaurant, visit the dairy farm, and explore the rest of the island knowing you can return home for rest and relaxation whenever you choose.
