Our favourite rooms
Monolithoi’s two villas have given local materials and heritage a contemporary makeover: the clean-lined residences are a modern take on the region’s stone tower houses. The indoors and outdoors seamlessly blend thanks to vast picture windows, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and bedrooms that open onto the poolside terrace. Villa One is slightly more spacious, but Villa Two has a second, breeze-tickled terrace that overlooks the pool and gardens. Big family clans and coteries of friends can book both villas together to create one super-villa, connected by a door in the garden.
Poolside
Each villa has its own pool, which overlooks the distant sapphire sea and nearby terracotta-hued villages. You’ll find sunloungers dotting the terrace; Villa Two also has a separate day-bed area for any lunch-induced siestas. The two ground-floor bedrooms in each villa also open up to the pool, which means you’ll have easy access for any day-starting dips if you bag one of these rooms. The pool can be heated in certain months for an additional charge.
Packing tips
Stunning scenery wraps the villas, so ditch the screens in favour of more wholesome pursuits: poolside card games, sketches of the sea, or that book you’ve always meant to read but haven’t gotten around to (yet).
Also
Staff can arrange in-villa yoga classes and spa treatments; just let them know in advance if you’d like to book in a wellness session.
Children
Welcome. Each villa has three bedrooms and a sofa-bed in the living room, sleeping up to seven guests in total. Baby cots and high chairs can be provided on request; babysitting can be booked with advance notice.
Sustainability efforts
In a bid to protect the local landscape, Monolithoi villas rely on solar panels and energy-saving devices, and single-use plastic is eschewed in favour of biodegradable alternatives. The houses are built using traditional techniques and local stone, which is naturally cooling, and their organic gardens grow herbs and fresh produce.
