The Lost Statue

The Lost Statue: Milos

One of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture, the Venus de Milo, was rediscovered on Milos. And it’s easy to understand why this gorgeous Cyclades island serves as a muse for beauty and creativity.

While you might be here to enjoy coastal delights peppered along its rugged shoreline, you can also find landmarks such as the city of Phylakopi and the Papafragas Caves. And just a ten-minute drive from both of these historic sites, this villa joins the long list of eye-catching sights on the island.

Set over two floors, this striking white home retains traditional elements with a modern twist. The main draw is the vast outdoor kingdom, featuring a terrace with a twig-lined shelter, bamboo sun loungers, a huge swimming pool, private outdoor barbecue and dining snug, all surrounded by lush lawns and bright foliage. But peer in through the classic wooden shutters to check out its bright interiors.

As you’re sipping the complimentary welcome drink, wander across the marble tiled floors, or up the natural wooden staircase. You’ll find an understated colour palette of cream, white, and neutral tones which allow the views of the green, rolling hills to stand out.
