La Vie In Blue - La Vie In Blue

The best place to be on the planet!

Amazing villa with stunning view. Highly recommended!

I am lucky enough to have stayed in beautiful villas all over the world, this house is by no means the grandest, nor the swankiest, but it has something else so special that I will remember it as probably one of the best houses I have ever stayed in. Its greatest attribute is its host, Nestoras. Even though he was away for almost our entire stay he remained in contact with me on a daily basis. I have never experienced anything like that before, normally I prefer to be left to my own devices. Nestoras was so funny, knowledgeable and extremely caring that overnight I found myself turning to him for everything. He rented me his huge brontosaurus of a car, through which I actually gained control of the entire island. The small roads of Mykonos require nerves of steel and a car like Nestoras' provided me with the greatest enjoyment and confidence. Staying at his house was ridiculously pleasurable. The pool was the perfect temperature, the staff were very kind and discreet. He even sent 'The World's Greatest Masseur' over to provide a complimentary massage. The house sits above a heavenly bay, there is access from the property to a glamorous, but not MOBBED (very important in Mykonos)beach club which is attached to the super glamorous and totally idyllic Santa Marina Hotel. the restaurant and the bar are divine, you can hang around in your bikini, or in couture, all looks are appreciated. The food is heaven, the guests are absurdly beautiful; my favourite was one afternoon as we sipped the obligatory Aperol Spritz we watched a deeply glamorous blonde woman of a certain age saunter down the jetty wearing a transparent black lace mini dress over a gold bikini. In her arms she held a tiny, perfectly groomed Pomeranian, behind her a tall dark and handsome member of her staff (presumably), carried two beach baskets for her, one black and one gold. She walked down that jetty like it was a Paris runway. During the time we were there Valentino and Armani moored their spectacular yachts. Most afternoons we would head down to the beach and swim, peaceful and very, very happy. The compound where the villa is is very safe, and far, far from the madding crown, but also perfectly located to nip into town for dinner or shopping. We barbecued and ate dinner on the patio some nights, but every night without exception we sat there and watched the hypnotic and fascinating goings on in the bay, taxi boats whizzing around, the glamour of the large yachts, the sky, the maddening beauty of Greece. I don't think we ever went to bed before 3 am, we were so entranced. Thank you Nestaros, you have one of the best houses I have ever stayed in.

This is the best view I have seen. I've been to many countries and stayed in many properties with great views but this is by far my favorite. My whole family had a great time. The owner was very welcoming and took care of everything immediately

Perfect view. Super clean villa and near to beach bars. The host was very helpful and accessible all the time. Enjoy the view with the pool and a good music. Stronly recommended!
