Set on a hilltop overlooking the island of Antiparos and the turquoise Aegean Sea, this sprawling Cycladic-style villa is geared up for multi-generational family reunions and big, friendly get-togethers. Cooler mornings begin with a game of tennis on the courts or a mood-boosting cardio workout in the fitness room. When it’s time for breakfast, find a spot under the pergola to tuck into a traditional koulouri. Rustic-chic interiors are unfussy and laidback, with cane furnishings, flagstone floors and a crisp white and blue colour scheme. After watching the world pass by from the main bedroom’s private balcony, find yourself cooking up a storm on the indoor barbecue and practising your mixologist skills at the bar. Interrupt an afternoon of sunbathing by the pool with a trip to the beach – Agia Irini is a quick seven-minute drive from your home. If you’re keen to stretch your legs, hike through the Agios Charalampos-Lagkada Nature Preserve, less than a ten-minute car ride away. Home truths: *We recommend hiring a car for getting to the beach and exploring the island – parking is available at the home *Your host can provide a cot and high chair upon request *Pool maintenance takes place twice a week *Housekeeping attends daily and a linen change takes place every three days *The fifth bedroom is located in a separate guesthouse
