Simply amazing ! The sea view is breathtaking, the pool is huge and pristine, the sandy beach is excellent and only 5 minutes walk, the villa itself is spacious, modern and luxurious. The decoration is superb. We had the entire villa on our own and had absolute freedom and complete privacy. Our kids were playing music on the villa's Sound system all day and all night long. We enjoyed great basketball competitions and table tennis battles. Our stay was filled with comfort and sophistication. We hired a private chef that cooked delicious meals for the entire family. The Philippine lady house keeper was discreet and extremely helpful. The Villa's manager took us for shopping in the local supermarket with wide selection of delicacies to choose from. There is a superb restaurant right by the beach within 10 minutes walking distance from the Villa. The manager booked a local driver that took care of all our transports downtown and reserved tables at the top island places. This villa turned a great Mykonos holiday into a memorable experience and filled our hearts with beauty and joy ! Thank you Santa Barbara for taking care of us. See you next year !!!
The breakfast was delicious, offering a variety of fresh options that we enjoyed in the morning by the pool. The location is perfect – peaceful and private, yet just a short drive from the lively town center and beautiful beaches. The villa had spacious and beautifully decorated rooms with comfortable beds. The private pool area is large and has breathtaking sea views to the southeast. The staff was attentive and extremely friendly. They were always ready to assist. The house manager booked for us private deep tissue massage at the villa and an excellent private chef for dinner. The environment is quiet and serene, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The magnificent sandy beach of Kalo Livadi is only 5 minutes walking distance from the villa. We were all by ourselves in the villa, no other guests, therefore we enjoyed complete privacy !!!
The location is unbeatable, only a few steps from Kalo Livadi beach which I think is by far the best beach of Mykonos. The property photos are very accurate, the sea view from the villa is simply gorgeous. The villa itself is huge, fully equipped and nicely done. There is a large private infinity pool and a hot jacuzzi which I simply loved ! I also liked the comfortable air conditioned bedrooms and the fact that they all had fantastic sea views. In the evening, we had plenty of activities, watching free streaming movies or playing video games on large tv screen with my family, playing table tennis, basketball or even board games, this villa has it all. There are speakers inside out and we had our personal playlists playing day and night. I really enjoyed the complete privacy of this villa which gave me the freedom to have fun, dine in style with private chef, have a private massage by the pool, all by myself, I felt like a prince. The host was discreet and lovely, always standby to find the best umbrellas and best tables in town. He took us to the nearby village which is only 5 mins away where there are 3 supermarkets, tavernas and many bars where we bought plenty of groceries. Mykonos town was only 15 mins drive by taxi which was always available on short notice. The care taker kept the villa continuously clean and gave us plenty of towels. This is a sublime villa on an amazing island with real value for money and I'm definitely looking forward returning next year for a much longer stay if my work allows me to.
La configuration de la maison est idéale, et la décoration est magnifique - tout a été méticuleusement planifié. C'est un véritable havre de paix! Un confort inégalé pour notre famille de six personnes. La piscine est aménagée pour plaire à tous : spa, piscine à débordement, espace barbecue, table de ping-pong, et même un terrain de basketball. Le cadre est paisible et relaxant. La plage se trouve à moins de 10 minutes à pied, et on y trouve un restaurant haut de gamme. Les principaux villages sont à environ 20 minutes en voiture. Theodoros est un hôte extrêmement généreux et à l'écoute de nos besoins. Le personnel est très discret. Nous garderons un souvenir éternel de cette maison. MERCI THEODOROS!
We spent a brilliant and crazy July weekend together with my three sisters at Villa Jocaste. The property's location (next to Kalo Livadi beach) was excellent and we greatly enjoyed an early morning swim in the deep blue crystal waters. Our rooms were spotless, large, with extra comfy beds, balconies and magnificent sea views to the South. The swimming pool was massive and hidden away from prying eyes, yet offering staggering ocean views. We spent a lot of time relaxing at the chic bamboo sofa beds by the poolside sipping cocktails as well as the jacuzzi dug in a natural cave and shaped with Mykonian rocks. It was a joy walking through the gardens around the villa which were beautifully maintained with fully grown trees among granite stones. The villa itself was large and tastefully decorated with style and elegance. The private chef that we ordered cooked for us some delicious local specialties on the grill with fresh salads and veggies from the villa’s private organic farm. The staff was absolutely amazing and the house manager went out of his way to ensure that all of our needs were met (from arranging airport transfers to booking front row cabanas at beach clubs). The housekeeper prepared our breakfast and took care of our laundry. After partying downtown till the early hours we witnessed a staggering sunrise from the comfort of our bed. This villa is the perfect place to relax, escape and reboot from the noise of Mykonos city. We are now back in London but the lovely photos and memories that we took while staying there will remain with us forever. We absolutely adored Villa Jocaste and we will definitely return back for more !
The Villa is brand new, clean and very nice indeed. The staff and housemaid are excellent, especially the Villa manager who helped us with transfers and booking great lunch and dinner. We visited Mykonos during off-season, so the island was quiet and tranquil which I personally like a lot. The beach which is only 5 minutes walk from the Villa is super: golden sand, light blue and 100% crystal clean with no waves and no currents. The Villa itself is spacious and tastefully decorated. The sea views to the south were stunning. We tried the heated open air Jacuzzi with hydromassage which was a relaxing experience and booked a 90 minute massage by the pool. The Villa was fully equipped and the Sonos Sound system worked really nice. I could control the sound of the entire Villa from my Iphone ! There is a German-owned windsurfing school nearby but I brought my own board and the wind was perfect. The villa is located only 10-15 minutes away from everything, so you are near downtown but you can still enjoy your privacy and peace for a memorable vacation. There were a couple of traditional Greek Tavernas nearby and we ordered take-away local dishes that were delivered right to our doorstep for good prices. We didn't have enough time to explore Mykonos with all its shops, beach bars and clubs as we were enroute to Santorini, but this Villa certainly made our short stay worth our while and we will definitely rebook this villa hopefully in the near future for a longer stay.....
Honestly, this was the best holiday rental experience I've ever had. The island, the beach, the sea views, the pool, the jacuzzi, the open deck - all just as amazing as the photos show. But the house itself ? Even better in person. It's huge, tastefully decorated, super clean, beautifully kept and had everything we could ever need - tons of space, a great kitchen, many fridges and shocking sea views from every bedroom. The outdoor setup with the spacious pool, jacuzzi and pool deck was perfect for swimming, sunbathing and relaxing in complete privacy. But what really blew me away was the level of service. I have never experienced such helpful on-site staff. Theo, the host, was insanely responsive. I got almost instant replies to all my questions. For example, I asked for swimming aids for my 2 children, I had them in 5'. I wanted a 6 organic egg omelette with strawberries, chevre cheese and gluten-free bread for breakfast, it was immediately arranged and prepared by the care taker. A 2008 Dom Perignon and sugar-free chocolate cake, done. Thai massage for the entire family (all at the same time) by the pool no problem. Night swimming down at Kalo Livadi beach with fire and music arranged. Grilled octopus same day fished by the Villa's gardener and cooked in-house done. You can't get this level of service at a 5* Hotel. All this in perfect privacy with no neighbors or other guests to worry about. This place is truly special, the whole team amazing, couldn't have asked for more!
From the moment we arrived, the panoramic views of the shimmering Aegean Sea captivated us, setting the stage for a truly splendid vacation. The villa itself marries luxury with comfort, featuring expansive, elegantly appointed spaces that cater to every desire for relaxation and entertainment. Each morning, we were greeted by breathtaking sunrises visible from every bedroom, a daily reminder of the villa’s unique placement. The infinity pool, overlooking Kalo Livadi beach, became our private oasis, with its sparkling waters mirroring the clear blue skies. The villa’s proximity to the beach is perfect for those who fancy a short stroll to the soft sands and inviting Mediterranean waters. Our host was the epitome of Greek hospitality, attending to our needs with precision and warmth. From arranging local culinary delights through a private chef to organizing seamless transportation around the island, every detail was meticulously handled. He ensured that our itinerary was packed with the best that Mykonos has to offer, from secluded beach spots to the most vibrant nightlife destinations. Equipped with state-of-the-art amenities and surrounded by lush gardens, the Villa provided not just a stay, but a plethora of memorable moments—whether it was dining al fresco under the starlit sky, enjoying spirited table tennis matches, or simply unwinding with a glass of fine Greek wine by the pool as the sun set. We will surely return next year for more ! Thank you Villa Santa Barbara !
The villa is sublime & stunningly beautiful, built on a hill right above the awesome Kalo Livadi beach & surrounded by private gardens. Each & every spacious bedroom had mesmerising sea views. We could clearly see Paros & Naxos as well as an impressive sunrise from our kingsize bed. The huge steaming hot open jacuzzi was our favourite family get together. The private pool was big & bean shaped with large comfortable sun beds. We celebrated my wife's 50th birthday on a large shaded outdoor table with delicious burgers grilled by the house keeper at the BBQ and then went on zipping cocktails & smoking cigars on the open bar till the early hours. The sound system covered the entire villa & my children played their favourite spotify playlists all night long. It's good that there are no neighbours. The fridges were already fully stocked upon our arrival with local produce, fresh fruits & drinks. The house keeper prepared our breakfast exactly as ordered, did our laundry, kept the villa super-clean and gave us beach chairs & an umbrella that we took to the nearby secluded beach of Loulos where we had a lovely afternoon swim all in private. In the evening, we watched free netflix & played Nintendo on a 75" tv and I caught up with some office work on my bedroom's 38'' ultrawide Mac Mini with fast internet. The host is wonderful & always available. He knows everybody in the island, booked taxis, best tables & protected us from tourist ripoffs. A special exquisite unique experience !!!
