Going beyond the home-needs, all guests have access to complimentary concierge services when they book through onefinestay. In advance of the trip, the dedicated concierge, with in-depth knowledge of the destination, is on-hand to personally tailor their guest’s experience to ensure they have an effortless, high quality stay and get the best out of the islands from the moment they arrive. They will help with anything from as simple as arranging VIP transfers to securing the most in-demand private chefs to curate a local gastronomic feast, to arranging a boat charter to the most secluded beaches or curating a bespoke wellness programme to follow during the stay.
“Over the past 10 years Mykonos and Santorini have gained notoriety as the ‘go to’ islands for European summer holidays, and after a year of travellers having to put their plans on hold, we are excited to see increased demand for our private villa experiences and broaden our footprint to some of the most desirable islands in the Mediterranean.” said Amanda Dyjecinski, onefinestay’s Chief Brand and Marketing Officer. “We’ve handpicked the new collection of homes, choosing them for their style, design, comfort and above all their location, providing uninterrupted ocean views. Our aim was to add a variety of homes that are ideal to host groups of families and friends; from traditional Greek style villas, to super luxe modern homes as well as dazzling sea-facing retreats. We have taken great care in inspecting and carefully selecting homes that match our guests’ tastes and needs, whilst delivering the same ubiquitous and exceptional quality service that we at onefinestay have become known for.”
Characterised by their picturesque white stone villages, silky soft beaches and balmy Mediterranean clime, there are endless reasons why a fully customised villa experience in the Cyclades should feature at the top of a traveller’s summer holiday list. Below, onefinestay selects its finest new villas on these idyllic islands.
