My Heart in Mykonos

My Heart in Mykonos: Mykonos

Look down towards alluring golden sands and glittering sea from this traditional stone villa. This home is perfectly set for alfresco living and dining, with its own pool, sun loungers and thatch umbrellas to really get you in the summer mood. Each bedroom has its own ensuite, plus sliding glass doors that let you step out into the sunshine as soon as you wake up. Famous for a reason, Elia beach is the longest in Mykonos with no shortage of amenities. If you're travelling with little ones though, be aware that nudity is allowed toward one end of the beach.

Home truths:
*There is free parking in the garage
*You'll need to bring your own cot and high chair here if travelling with little ones
*This home is spread over two floors with no internal lift – there is a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor though, so it may be suitable for guests with limited mobility
*There's a chance you may hear some noise from neighbours during your stay
*There are no curtains in the bedrooms, so you may want to bring an eyemask so the sunlight doesn't wake you up
*Bed linens and towels are provided for free here
*Your host can store your luggage for you for convenience
*The pool here is unfenced, so children should always be supervised when playing outside
