We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Aphrodite. The location and views are absolutely gorgeous. While it's a little bit of a hike out to Faros Armenistis from downtown Mykonos, (only about 15-20 min drive), it's well worth it. If you plan to pop around the island to different beaches and locations, it's definitely worthwhile to rent a car. Leonidas and his team provided us with a cab recommendation for evenings and we had a wonderful experience with them.
Leonidas's team was absolutely incredible. They were so attentive for any requests, made great recommendations, and even brought me a cake on my birthday-- such a sweet and thoughtful touch! We would rate their service 11/10. Five stars!!
Each morning we would walk down to the beautiful Armenistis Lighthouse and see the stunning views, idyllic homes, and animal life along the way, (cows, goats, cats, dogs, chickens). It was a quick drive into town (only about 10 min to the nearby AB market) and coffee shops and very easy to pop over to nearby beaches.
The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are gorgeous. Each day we were delighted to come back to the rooms made up and every few days our towels being changed. We were provided lots of pool towels and made great use of the ample seating and social space outside. Note: Mykonos is incredibly windy and the wind comes from the North. If you are going to visit during the time of year when winds are especially high, know that there may be days where it will be too windy to enjoy the outdoor space.
There was ample space inside the villa for the 11 of us when it was too windy to be outside, but it isn't quite as spacious as the pictures show. If you plan to have the full 16 people I would not recommend visiting during the windy season as it will be a bit tight to have everyone inside in the main quarters.
The downstairs bedrooms were very nice, but as they are down below they tend to be a bit damper with less airflow than the top ones. They have dehumidifiers which do the trick, but note that you should not have anyone sensitive or with allergies staying in the bottom rooms.
All this said, the villa is absolutely amazing and a great deal. 10/10 would recommend. We hope to go back soon!
