“Magical place - movie like experience !”

Pure magic! Being in Villa Nautilia is out of this world experience! It is as if you entered another dimension or some movie set. The hosts (Thierry and Arnaud )are fantastic! Very friendly and artistic (Arnaud is an excellent cook too - if you have a chance do not miss his cooking!) and the villa itself is a paradise like/ movie like place. It is set in an amazing south part of the island - much more private, quiet and wild .... you get the full experience of the elements here yet it is a short drive to the cute little village where you ll find all you need. The views from the villa are breathtaking - overlooking the ocean, the sunsets and the light at all times is just glorious! If you come without a car you can enjoy villa's many lounging spaces, pool area, and walk to two great near by beaches in front of the villa (one with sunbeds and beach restaurant the other the most perfect little secluded beach ) and in the evening eat in Lia tavern or at the villa itself and you would not need anything else for a fantastic dream like vacation ... if you prefer more dynamic vacation do rent a car (we did that ) and the whole island will be your oyster but again the best part will be the time you spend in and around this place. Our apartment was very spacious and beautifully decorated with some original art pieces (you can find those throughout the villa ) that we enjoyed very much. The bed was supper comfy and the specious private outdoor area had fantastic 180 degree view overlooking both the ocean and sunsets over the hills All in all we could not be more pleased with our experience and will come back for sure ! Highly recommended !!!

“Our hosts Arnaud and Thierry were wonderful and looked after us so well! Everything was perfect.”

Beautiful location in a quiet part of Mykonos with amazing sea views and just a few minutes walk from the beach. This place is a gem! We definitely want to come back.

“Superb! Relaxing stay in a luxury boutique hotel.”

Arnaud and Thierry welcomed us into their fabulous home as if we were family. The villa is superb and is equipped and furnished to the highest standards. We stayed in the Yellow Room, which was extremely comfortable and spacious. It had everything we could possibly need, was very tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and we were fortunate enough to have dinner cooked by Arnaud on two of the three evenings we were there. Arnaud is also a very talented artist, and we thoroughly enjoyed viewing his extensive collection of paintings. We couldn't fault anything - we wanted a comfortable, relaxing holiday away from the sometimes hectic parts of Mykonos where the nightlife is the main attraction, and the Nautilia delivered this in an exceptional manner. You do need a car to make the most of your stay but that's not a problem. Overall, it's a definite 10 out of 10 from us - we would give it 11 if we were allowed!

“Amazing hosts, hotel and location, one of our best ever trips.”

The location was fabulous, host excellent with communication pre arrival and whilst there. Cannot describe in words how wonderful the hotel is which has been created by Arnaud and Gerry. Stylish, interesting and very comfortable.

“This is not a hotel, it’s a magical villa on a fabulous island.”

This is, without a doubt, the most exceptional hotel I have ever stayed at. There is something truly magical about the property—it’s not only stunning and cozy but also beautifully furnished and artistically decorated. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel completely transported, embraced by a sense of peace and serenity, and lovingly cared for by the remarkable owners, Arnaud and Thierry. They are the most gracious hosts, always ready with thoughtful advice and a warm smile, offering an unmatched level of care and attentiveness, all while maintaining a quiet and gentle presence. Each morning, they prepare the most delightful homemade breakfasts, going above and beyond to cater to individual preferences with genuine kindness and flexibility. What sets this place apart is the enchanting atmosphere. There’s a bohemian charm that will captivate your soul. Arnaud, a talented artist, has his own atelier within the villa, so you’re surrounded by an inspiring world of art and beauty throughout your stay. I highly recommend staying at least a week to fully savor the breathtaking sunsets, relax by the wonderful pool, indulge in the soothing jacuzzi, and enjoy Arnaud’s delicious dinners. The property is ideally located in one of the island’s most picturesque spots, with two beautiful beaches and charming tavernas just a short stroll away. Lia Beach, in particular, is the island’s best-kept secret. Next time, we plan to spend our entire vacation at the villa, soaking in the beauty and tranquility of this perfect getaway. It’s a hidden gem that will leave you longing to return.

“Great stay for bohemian gypsetters and Mykonos lovers”

It feels like your own villa and you feel home

Arnaud and Thierry have created a magic oasis in the quieter part of the island, walking distance to a small lovely beach and very close to Lia beach which has a nice beach club. Their beautiful home is very well designed with many places to sit and read, and decorated with Arnaud's paintings, furniture, and a lovely view across to Lia beach and a gorgeous infinity pool. The welcome is exceptional. A wonderful place to return to for a real rest. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, the breakfast extremely well presented and delicious, and the home-cooked dinner and selection of wine first-rate. We got very helpful suggestions for beaches and tavernas too which we liked very much. Thank you both once again. We are looking forward to coming back to Villa Nautilia again soon!

“One of the best places I've stayed on my travels to date”

My partner and I stayed in this villa a couple of weeks ago. We were absolutely delighted with the huge amount of attention and care to detail as guests by the kind and supportive Arnaud and Thierry. I had sent a message beforehand explaining my allergens, but Arnaud was able to make some gluten free/lactose pastries that I thoroughly enjoyed. They also provided some great recommendations of places to eat during our short stay and helped with advice on car hire, which honestly was above and beyond most hosts we've stayed with. Hugely generous and kind people. The spread of food at breakfast was substantial and varied - a mix of continental and Greek with some wonderful homemade bread and cakes. A highlight was Arnaud's homemade quince jam made from the quince they grow on the property. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to use the fabulous jacuzzi and pool which was situated on the property, due to our short visit - both of us definitely could have benefited from relaxation time by the pool if we had stayed a few days more. Both my partner and I were incredibly pleased with our choice of stay - we both wanted an idyllic and peaceful property without the bustle and busy nightlife of Mykonos and this villa fitted that criteria perfectly, so we had some perfect rest and relaxation whilst we were there - the private beach a short walk from the property was a lovely touch. The size of our room was wonderful - high ceilings with some incredible views overlooking the coast and Lia Beach. The decor was perfectly matched to the hosts who greeted us - typical Greek villa with a touch of French interior decor - this decor carried on through to the rest of the property, including the comfortable lounge area. The place is decorated with some of Arnaud's paintings which made our stay really feel like we were staying in their home. The size of the bed in our room was very comfortable and perfect for my 6'4" partner!

A week at the end of May 2024 at Villa Nautilia, an unforgettable time! Perfect hosts, a breakfast fit for a king, and an excellent dinner on request. Away from the usual hustle and bustle, in the southern part of Mykonos with a wonderful view of Lia Beach. The very well-kept property is a dream, the interior exquisitely designed with great attention to detail. The art of enjoying life is the motto here and combines Greek island life with the savoir vivre of the French hosts in the best possible way. We felt like we were among friends with charming hosts. Not least because of our decades of experience in the Aegean, we can wholeheartedly recommend Villa Nautilia and their hosts Thierry and Arnaud! It was a stay of superlatives. Wonderful in every way. Car rental is highly recommended, Thierry and Arnaud have the best recommendations for the most beautiful spots on the island. Klaus & Angelica

“Amazing Stay with beautiful view and great hosts!!”

This place very beyond words, not just for its beautiful architecture but also for the wonderful hosts ( Arnaud and Thierry) who makes you feel so warmth that you don't want to leave the place 😁😁. The best stay in mykonos.Im definitely coming back!!

“Epic”

This place is an oasis - tastefully done with amazing views. Fabulous food and the best hosts… just do yourself a favour and book it

Everything absolutely fantastic!

This is by far one of the most amazing places I have visited in a long time! In one word "magnifique"! Arnaud and Thierry make it feel like a home, with the service and facilities of a 5 star hotel. I would love to give this an 11 if possible. Thank you again for making our holiday so enjoyable! Bisou bisou

Fantastic place to chill and enjoy the stunning see view from the terasse and infinity pool. Very nice breakfast and the dinner is also delicious. We enjoyed our stay and definetaly will come back. Thank you so much for Arnaud and Thierry being such a nice hosts.

“Oasis of peace and luxury”

It is an amazing villa with a stunning view. Arnaud and Thierry are amazing hosts and again thank you for everything! Little oasis of peace.

“We would highly recommend this property if quiet and relaxation is what you want on Mykonos.”

The hosts were very attentive and made the stay more special. They cooked an amazing breakfast every morning and even offered a 3 course dinner. We had their dinner 2 times and it was beautifully made and presented, with a gorgeous view of Lia Beach and islands beyond. Our bungalow 9 was a traditional stone building, with a lovely private lounge area in the sun and a shaded sitting area all outside. We were moved to bungalow 11, which was a little bigger and a more direct view of the beach when it was vacant and offered by the host. The property is gorgeous with an infinity pool and plenty of shared outdoor seating and shared living room. Walking to the beach was an easy 10 minute walk. We would highly recommend this property if quiet and relaxation is what you want on Mykonos.

“Thierry and Arnaud are warm and attentive hosts. The level of hospitality was exceptional, delicious breakfasts and dinn”

Villa Nautilia is a beautiful property situated in a quieter part of Mykonos. The standard of the accommodation was outstanding and it felt as if we were staying as house guests..

This place shows another side of Mykonos, offering views of peacefulness and beauty. The food was also delicious. Truly a hidden treasure that exceeded our expectations. If ever back in Mykonos, this would be our first choice.
