Villa Finikas, a Romantic and Serene Retreat in Ano Mera, Mykonos

Tranquility, Refined Decor and Lush Garden

Villa Finikas is likely to be one of the oldest villas for rent on Mykonos. The more than 100 years old traditional mansion is surrounded by lush gardens and located in the traditional settlement Ano Mera. Nowadays, villas are usually built as close to the sea as possible, disregarding meteorological conditions, but most traditional settlements were well elevated and wind sheltered. The Meltemi Wind can be very unpleasant at times and locals know very well where they would be protected. Accordingly, Villa Finikas was built in Ano Mera, a central location with easy access to all sides of the island but yet well protected from harsh weather conditions. Additionally, a wall and old trees surround the property also increasing the privacy and serene atmosphere of the property.

The antique furnished sitting room of the main building has floor to ceiling French doors opening onto a romantic terrace shaded by a giant Eucalyptus tree. The attractive master bedroom with its impressive four-poster bed has a fully equipped bathroom en suite with a large marble shower and a dressing room. The kitchen reflects a true country style feeling and adjoins a bright, exquisite dining room charmingly decorated with local pieces of art. A large marble staircase leads the visitor down onto the main terrace, escorted by majestic palm trees.

Surrounded by an oasis of rich Mediterranean vegetation, flowers and Greek amphorae, the swimming pool is completely private and features stylish antique deck chairs.

The pool’s guests house with separate entrance from a private garden patio, features two lovely and spacious bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom.

A new outdoor dining area, located next to the pool in a private garden setting, offers a large pergola-shaded table and an open-air fully equipped kitchen with cooking appliances and a wood fire BBQ.

Live-in staff guarantees maximum comfort, quality service and personalized attention. A second small garden house with an extra bedroom and a small living room is available and most suitable for teenagers or staff.

Best suited to a more mature lifestyle and refined taste, this authentic Mykonian villa offers guests marvelous moments of relaxation and pure inspiration. The villa boasts an atmosphere of quality, tranquility and charm; hard to define in words.
