50m from the beach with sea view

The villa is located on a hill, 50m from the coast, on 4000sqm of land facing the Southwest Aegean sea and the temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounio.

It is a private residence of 250sq m, designed by Manetas a well known Greek architect, and decorated by Stelios Anastasiadis' painting on the main atrium. It combines the principles of modern architecture with the ones of Greek traditional Aegean architecture keeping its dimensions small and human, fitting nicely with the nature of the 4000sq m land surrounding it. In the interior of the house the simple built beds and sofas create a fully functional environment for relaxed living. The out of season months provide a real escape to peace, tranquillity and relaxation.

Around the house we have no car traffic. This makes our community very private, quite and safe.In 100 m distance from the house you can dive to the sea and snorkle in the crystal waters from a small remote sundy beach with a rock cave that provides shade.

The house:

A 250 sqm villa in ground and first floor constructed with respect for the nature surrounding it (as it fits perfectly at the slope of a hill by dividing into smaller fragments).The design of the lodging incorporates the very best in indoor and outdoor living whilst ensuring the maximum of privacy.

Review Submitted: 03 June 2012 Date of Stay: July 2011
My family and relatives stayed in the house for one week in the summer of 2011. The view was stunning, really beautiful. The house had an interesting arcitecture and was very clean. Everything you could ask for was in the house. The house had different stages wich was perfect if you wanted your own space for a while.
The owners were very helpful and serviceminded!
The sea was only a few steps away. A car is necessary to go for groceries or to visit restaurants in the area. Two restaurants and a mini market was in walking distance.
I definately reccomend this house!

We spent one week during Easter this year in Kostis house, we really enjoy the place and the house. The view from most of the rooms but especially from the terrace is amazing. Kostis and his wife are both very helpful and hospitable.
The house is in a very good condition and has everything that can make your stay comfortable.
The beach is just 5min walking and Lavrio is only 5min driving and you can find everything there. From your newspaper to Supermarkets and beautiful restaurants and cafes.
Two restaurants that we really enjoy: Posidonia in Lavrio and Syrtaki on the way to Sounio just couple of khms from the house.
Thank you Kosti and Hara was very nice meeting you and deffinetely will come back

The villa is really beautiful and elegant. We had a very promising welcome from Kostis, wine available for a first toast in the beautiful terrace looking at the bay below.
I enjoyed especially looking at the stars at the end of the day in the windswept upper terrace. It was a perfect base for our sightseeing trips to Athens and the surroundings.
Clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable and relaxing. We would have loved to stay more.

Ein Traumurlaub

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 28 August 2012 Date of Stay: July 2012
Wir verbrachten 10 Wunderbare Tage in dieser Traumvilla. 6 Erwachsene mit 4 Kindern. Traumhafte Lage mit grandiosem Ausblick.Genügend Platz für jeden. Vor dem Haus ein Sandstrand in 5 Minuten Gehweg und hinter dem Haus nach 8 Minuten Gehweg eine Traumhafte Kiessteinbucht die wir unter der Woche fast immer für uns alleine gehabt haben. Im Ort sind ein kleines Geschäft und ein Bäcker wo man die notwendigsten Dinge einkaufen kann. Mit dem Auto ca. 5 Minuten zu fahren. Im Haus hat es uns an nichts gefehlt. Die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet und in den Schlafräumen ist überall eine Klimaanlage.Da es den ganzen Urlaub lang nie unter 30 Grad hatte war die Dusche im Garten Gold wert. Im Umkreis von 20 km sind einige gute Lokale wo man ausgezeichnet Griechisch essen gehen kann.Im nächsten größeren Ort Lavrio sind zwei Supermärkte für den Großeinkauf, Fischmärkte und etliche gute Lokale.
Bei der Ankunft hat uns Kostis ( Hausherr) mit seinem Wagen vom Flughafen abgeholt.Danke nochmals.Transferzeit vom Flughafen waren ca. 40 Minuten.
Alles in allem ein gelungener Urlaub den wir sofort wieder machen würden.
