As a large family, we enjoy traveling a lot and have stayed in many great places around the world. Villa Jocaste in Mykonos reserves a special place in our hearts. Entering the Villa’s main gate, we drove through wonderful blooming gardens. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the Villa’s manager and a lovely lady caretaker who had already stocked the fridge with an abundance of fresh fruit, snacks and drinks. The sea views from the pool, the living room, the kitchen and all the bedrooms are heavenly stunning and we could clearly see the nearby islands of Paros and Naxos to the south. We had the great pleasure to experience a dramatic Strawberry Moonrise from the deep ocean blue directly from our king sized bed. The spacious Villa is built on a large piece of land to the ultimate of standards, immaculately clean, well maintained, fully equipped, stylishly decorated in light tasteful colors, and located on a hillside right above Kalo Livadi beach which is only a 10-minute downhill walk. The beach itself is amazing and definitely one of the best sandy beaches the island has to offer. We chose to spend most of the time sunbathing by the huge infinity pool which is secluded and absolutely private. The manager helped us rent an SUV which we used to explore the nearby beaches during daytime, while for our night ventures downtown we booked a Mercedes minivan with a chauffeur. The caretaker prepared our breakfast with fresh products in accordance with our dietary requirements. We also booked a private chef who cooked a delicious lunch full of local specialties and with vegetables organically grown at the Villa’s own backyard that we enjoyed by the poolside, accompanied by fine Greek wine. The open air massages and private yoga lessons were an unforgettable experience. Our daughter took over the Villa’s central sound system, loaded her summer playlists on the iMac and entertained the family throughout our stay. In the evenings we enjoyed fierce table tennis battles and a late night basketball game at the Villa’s open court while listening to motivating hip hop music from the Villa’s waterproof speakers. The house manager took great care of us and provided us with insider’s tips for booking tables at the best restaurants and beach clubs of the island. All in all an incredible experience, the location, the ocean views, the personnel, the atmosphere, the vibe of this Villa is simply exceptional. Our older children had such a great time that they have booked the Villa with some of their friends for another week of holidays in September !
