On Mykonos island within walking distance of the village of Ano Mera, on the tranquil hilly interior, lies this traditional, over a century old stone house with its typical for the island cubic shape and white and pastel color.
The house was recently fully renovated by the famous designer/architect, WernerMaritsas.
Fully equipped, It is beautifully and traditionally decorated with old pieces of furniture. Typical for the age of the house are its thick (60cm/24inches) walls which are made of granite stone as well as the wooden high ceilings. All this gives you a feeling of deep calmness and cosiness. The house consists of 2/3 bedrooms, living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a mezzanine. Due to the building’s position on the hill, the rooms are spread over different levels and linked with two to three stony steps. It has two fire places and due to its bio-climatic effect there is no need to use an A/C. The house has a beautiful garden and its surrounded by a lovely old stone wall
The Rock Garden: The house has a dramatically wild, romantic rock garden with 3 terraces, many local flowers, plants, an olive tree, a fig tree and a pergola. There you can sit and enjoy your tea in the peacefulness of the countryside, from where your view will stray over the open wide fields, while the rays of the sun make their way through the leaves to tickle your skin and a gentle breeze takes over the smells of the country and makes them dance around your nose. Or you can invite your friends over for a stylish barbecue under the moonlight and the stars.
The Surroundings: The House is strategically situated, only few minutes walk from the picturesque village of Ano Mera, with the oldest, historic Monastery of the island, with restaurants, taverns, supermarket, bakery, pharmacy etc.
An open air market on Sundays, offers you a choice of local products, fresh fruit and vegetables, goat cheese, mediterranean spices, eggs, fresh fish and lobsters.
There is no real need of a car. A short bus ride of 15 min. from the nearby bus stop, takes you to Mykonos town and to the old picturesque port. You reach the most of the southern, most beautiful, both sandy and stony
Beaches, with crystal clear waters, within a shorter bus/car ride of approximately five to ten minutes. Alternatively, you may rent a car or motorbike for total flexibility.
This is the perfect venue for those who like to experience the elegance of a fully renovated, truly traditional Cycladic house and you can be sure to have some unforgettable holidays.

Fantastic stay!
Hi there!
Me and my friends from university decided to to have a small reunion somewhere and chose this place as it looked pretty and Greece is always a good destination.
At the beginning of May is the island quite empty and the weather fine, but not too hot like in summer. We had a fantastic time on the island and in this house. It's big enough for up to six people, we were five, it lies quietly and makes you leave all the stress behind. We had some peaceful days there. The rock garden is superb for BBQs and the rooms are like on the pictures.
We were picked up at the airport, brought to the house and back to the airport after a week. The house was tidy and clean and it had everything we needed.
The owner and his staff and very friendly and helpful.
Yes, there's no doubt, I'd go there again!

An unforgettable holiday
I went there twice, once with my wife and children and once with some friends. The house is really nice and we all were amazed by its beauty. It's the perfect location for both, a family and a group of friends. The surroundings are were nice and it's very quiet there.
We liked the photographs, but weren't sure what to expect. We weren't disappointed at all. The house and its rooms and garden look exactly the same as on the photographs.
Everything was clean and tidy, we were picked up from the airport and brought to the house, the owner and the people working for him are extremely nice and English speaking, which is an advantage for a tourist. Whatever we needed was there and all our queries were handled with care.
I'd definitely recommend it!
Tres bien. Aucune surprise
Les photos sont conformes au descriptif. La maison se situe dans un endroit calme tout en étant à proximité des commerces du village d' Ano Mera. Une voiture est nécessaire pour se deplacer et se rendre aux plages bien que tres proches de la location. Propriétaire disponible et parlant tres bien le français .
Ottima casa, macchina necessaria
Casa davvero bella, arredamento completo e di gusto. Il giardino è godevolissimo, contando anche l'aria che tira continuamente sull'isola. Ci siamo trovati bene sia con Pavlos, nei contatti per mail, che con la sua assistente Helen una volta giunti sull'isola. La casa è un po' distante dalla movida cittadina ma si raggiunge tranquillamente ogni posto in 15 min di macchina.
Consigliato!
Ottima vacanza.
No internet / No bbq / No TV DVD / No music...
The house is nice but don't trust the owner !
This house is absolutly not connected with wifi and a lot of equipements where missing. Just a nightmare if you need to stay connected with to work.
The owner never refund my deposite and try to justify his lie by saying that you can bring your wifi, bbq, ... Shame on him.
Never Again
As I occasionally also rent when traveling I keep my expectations in mind when preparing my home and always think what I would expect if I was renting my property. So I always try to make the travelers stay in my home the most comfortable and memorable.
Unfortunately this traveler had forgotten or has chosen not to mention a couple of details which are fundamental at least for the bond (deposit). By law an owner cannot withhold a bond unless there is an outstanding bill and in this case this traveller requested for several nights a baby sitter which I arranged and he did not pay for.
As far as the BBQ there is a fixed outdoor bbq installation, made of granite stone, including several grills etc, the only thing its not provided is the charcoal, which can be bought at any super market.
This traveler also forgot to mention that he decided to stay after the agreed time of midday and when asked to leave he bluntly refused and stayed till very late. This resulted in the cleaners coming after hours. For this after hours service I paid double to prepare the house for the new tenants that were arriving the following morning
As far as the internet is concernd there was no wifi advertised, but plug in connection availiability, people staying can have their personal 3G internet connection.
Unfortunately there are some travelers that can not be pleased and this was one of them .
