Private Greek Villa with swimming pool, near beach & ancient history

Epidaurus. Such a historically, culturally, and aesthetically unique area, even for Greece's standards. Reputed to be the birthplace of Apollo's son Asclepius, the God of healing and medicine, Epidaurus was known for its sanctuary, and even more for its theatre, which is still in use today; an architectural masterpiece marvelled for its extraordinary acoustics, which hosts exquisite theatrical and musical performances on cool summer evenings. This, surrounded by a landscape which is a true example of what we Greeks call ''Blessed land''. Combining steep hills, lush vegetation, and of course wonderful beaches, it is simply a delight to behold.

Epidaurus is at the heart of Greece's most treasured historical sites. A short drive in almost any direction will lead you to Ancient Corinth, the ruins of Ancient Mycenae, the Castle-port of Nauplio, Ancient Tyrinth, and several more historical sites, all intertwined with a marvellous coastal countryside. Villa Thaleia itself is separated by a 5 minute walk from a long beach boasting crystal clear waters, and a less than 20 minute drive will get you to the ancient theatre and its performances.

Villa Thaleia is surrounded by a large private garden -offering complete privacy to the estate-, filled with Mediterranean vegetation ranging from citrus trees, to herbs, spices, and home grown vegetables of all sorts just waiting to be savoured. The front-facing large patio is designed for entertainment and dinning, with large tables and chairs enjoying the shade of palm trees; while the back-facing patio and veranda lead directly to the perfectly round swimming pool, ideal for cooling off, while perhaps enjoying a glass of the local wine.

The indoors of villa Thaleia are quite unique in style, and very spacious. The two story estate boasts 2 large living rooms, 2 kitchens, 6 bedrooms with double beds (3 on each floor), 4 bathrooms, and an extra large veranda. The view from the top floor veranda overlooks almost all the gardens and swimming pool, while raising your sight will reveal the twinkling Aegean and the uniquely shaped hills of Epidaurus. The two floors are interestingly quite different in style. Classic stone and marble dominate the main living areas on the top floor, whereas lighter colours and wood prevail in the ground floor. Both floors, are wonderfully styled and especially practical, so the choice of bedroom and floor depends on your personal taste.

Villa Thaleia and its surrounding area provide an all-encompassing experience, offering a large portion of Greece's culture, history, and natural beauty, while enjoying the comfort and luxury of a marvellous traditional Greek summer villa.

Best family holiday ever!

We had the perfect summer holiday here! The villa is amazing, peaceful, clean and so pleasant. A morning coffee in the veranda, watching the gorgeous private garden and enjoying a dip in the pool: heaven! This place is ideal for families. We were a group of 10 adults and 2 children and we were all accommodated. The kids loved the pool (of course!) and had a lot of space for their games, without disturbing the quiet members of our group who preferred a nice corner with their book. There is also a lot of room for dining at the veranda where everyone can be together and very comfortable. We were positively surprised at how cool it was inside the house, even though we visited during peak summer. There is airconditioning in all the rooms but we hardly needed to use it at all, especially on the ground floor. Beyond the amazing villa, the surrounding area also has so many things to offer. There is a lovely beach a few minutes away and then there are lots of places to visit. We felt like we are at the heart of Greece, able to explore all the wonderful things: delicious food, glorious sun, scenic walks, ancient ruins, towns, museums. Definitely visit Ancient Mycenae! We also spent a couple of afternoons in Nafplio, a walk around the old city downtown is a must and for the cherry on top, have some ice cream by the sea side. Thank you so much Alex, the manager and Elpida, the owner. You both made everything super easy!

Amazing family holiday in beautiful location

We had an amazing family holiday at Villa Thalia. We loved the house and Nea Epidaurus—all the sun, pool, sea, bars, restaurants, oranges, tomatoes and more than you can ask for! The place was just what we were after and really appreciated the attentiveness of the Villa team. We would definitely recommend a stay, and hope to visit again sometime soon! Thank you!

Large and comfortable family villa

We loved our stay at Villa Thalia. We were holidaying as 3 families and there is more than enough space to accommodate everyone without being on top of one another. The house is comfortable, safe and traditional. The owners were incredibly responsive and helpful, answering any of our queries very quickly and the couple who look after the house were also great. We loved the pool area, set amongst the orange trees, including having pool towels available for our use. Our only comment would be maybe a few more deckchairs or sun beds for relaxing as it’s so nice to spend time there. The local area was busier than we expected with probably 4 or 5 restaurants in walking distance. The local beach was also good for lazier days when we didn’t want to drive. We had lots of options for days out and enjoyed exploring the attractions and beaches a bit further afield. All in all, a fantastic holiday in a beautiful home - we loved it!

A spacious and impressive villa with a superb 1st floor balcony looking out to sea

This is an impressive villa, with 5 large bedrooms and 1 smaller, and 3 bathrooms; for most of the time we were just 3 couples with a baby which gave us plenty of room to spread out and retain some privacy as well. The 1st floor balcony is easily its best feature, with a large table at which we sat 10 people for 2 days when our guests overlapped, and it was fine, but usually there were only 6 of us. The balcony has the dining table on one side and comfortable seating on the other, sufficient for 6, although as the villa has numerous chairs it was easy to pull a few extra out when required. We sat and ate on the balcony almost all the time, as it possesses a fabulous view across orange, grapefruit and pomegranate groves towards the sea, the view enhanced by the addition of the islands of Agistri, Aegina and others, as well as the peninsula of Methana. We were unlucky enough to encounter Medicane Zorba during our last few days, which brought cold weather and rain, forcing us indoors, but the upstairs reception room is enormous, with another huge dining table, and plenty of comfortable seating, so there was no shortage of space. We even lit a fire in the fireplace on one dismal evening which we really enjoyed. The only slight disadvantage to the villa is the kitchen which although amply equipped is rather small for a villa for up to 10 people or more. However, we took it in turns to cook and went in to Palea Epidavros for many meals so managed perfectly well. It would have helped us with the baby if there had been steps into the pool, but apart from this it is a good pool although with such a wonderful beach near by we did not use it very often. The downstairs apartment is rather darker, but our couple with baby made good use of it and enjoyed the privacy and space it offered them, as well as its french doors opening towards a little patio and the pool. I would definitely recommend the villa and all our guests agreed it was a marvellous find.
