Villas for Extraordinary Celebrations: Villa Aetos

Accommodation at Villa Aetos is spread over three wings of a palatial two-storey main house and two fully independent guesthouses. All of this, along with the extensive terraces, gardens and grounds, means that there is an abundance of space, not only for coming together when it's time to make merry, but also for private moments - an ideal set-up for multi-generational families and large groups of friends.

When it comes to those convivial, celebratory moments, there are a number of gorgeous spots in which to gather.

At the top of your list might be the dreamy al fresco dining terrace accessed from the kitchen in the main house. Perfectly shaded by an elegant, cane-topped metal gazebo, and looking out to sea, this gregarious space feels like being on the prow of a ship. Designed to make every meal memorable, its long table and sense of seclusion creates an intimate, companiable atmosphere.

Another special spot in which to congregate is the leaf-shaded lounge area near the pool. With its capacious, well-cushioned, built-in seating and a bar, it is a tempting proposition for champagne moments and pre-prandial cocktails.

Both the main house and one of the guesthouses (the Studio) has space for dining inside, while the former also has a fabulously proportioned, double-sized living room furnished with generous array of sofas and armchairs.

A large swathe of manicured emerald lawn provides room for fun and games, and a series of terrace wrap around the main house, offering guests a wealth of choice when it comes to al fresco living.

"Villa Aetos is a slice of paradise. It’s elegantly decorated, luxuriously finished, and set in a secluded, private location. The friendly, attentive staff could not do more for us. The food was lovely, and we ate outside on a terrace with wonderful views of the sea."

At Villa Aetos, an in-villa cook is included for breakfasts and either lunch or dinner every day.

An expert in rustling up authentic expressions of traditional Greek cuisine, the cook sources the freshest, most flavoursome ingredients, both from the villa's kitchen garden and from trusted local suppliers.

For something a bit different, such as a celebratory gala dinner, you might wish to engage a professional chef and waiters, something which we'd be delighted to help with.

Most meals are taken on the above-mentioned al fresco dining area accessed from the kitchen in the main house.

Working alongside the in-villa cook is a dedicated team of staff who ensure that Villa Aetos is spotlessly clean and perfectly maintained, both inside and out.

"Villa Aetos was very comfortable, in pristine condition, and the perfect size for our group. The staff were helpful and wonderful. It was a memorable experience. We were extremely comfortable and felt pampered. We would love to return."

Celebrations held at Villa Aetos can be enriched by a variety of extra services, each one capable of transforming your special occasion into a memory-making event of a lifetime.

As already mentioned, if you wish to organise an extra-special dinner, we can arrange for an external chef and waiting team to come to you. But if you're happy with excellent, homecooked, traditional Greek cuisine, you'll be in good hands with the in-villa cook.

To add a splash of colour and natural flair to your celebration, there is the option of organising flower arrangements, bouquets or other floral decorations to mark the day.

Live music is also on the menu at Villa Aetos, whether you prefer a traditional Greek group with dancers or a DJ to help you party the night away. If you opt for the former, you will, of course, be welcome to join in - nothing says "celebration" quite like a dancing a hasapiko, or a sirtaki (Zorba-style) with those you love.
