Perfect villa with excellent hosts

Stunning villa on a grand scale in a brilliant location with panoramic sea view. Well equipped and and spotlessly clean too. Our hosts made every effort to ensure our stay was comfortable despite the massive thunderstorms and gales! Great location with plenty of very good restaurants to choose from. Poseidon's Temple is well worth a visit with its spectacular location. Thanks to Eleni and her lovely family.

VILLA ELENI: Great!

Even though the temperatures were very high, our holidays were great and the Villa was fabulous, I recommend it! Nothing special to change or improve on the Villa itself. The owner and the persons in charge of the Villa were very kind.

Fabulous villa in a great location for a family holiday

We visited in late May 2024 for a family holiday (mum, dad, 17, 14 and 9 year old children); and were delighted by the large, light and spacious villa with a fabulously large deep pool which is circa 3 minutes drive from a large sandy, clean beach. There are two small shops and several very nice seafood restaurants in the local village less than 3 minutes drive away (or 15-minutes walk), and we were less than an hour away from Athens and 20 minutes from Lavrio, with plenty of holiday towns in between. Eleni and family were on hand to answer any questions and help out whenever required. In short this is a fantastic location for a family holiday and we would love to return one way in the future.

Outstanding

We had really a great time there. Outstanding house and place. Very enjoyable area which gave us options to relax, to have fun, hiking and visiting antique places. The owners are great and very helpful. The pool is awesome, the house is equipped with everything you need. Clear recommendation, as the house also delivers opportunity for larger families to come together and give everybody as well their own space.

A perfect stay!

We booked Villa Eleni as a base to invite family and friends from the UK and we were not disappointed. The villa had everything we needed (and more). Internally the space works excellently for families / friends with everyone having space and privacy yet ample room to get together. Externally the pool was a huge hit. Minor queries we had were responded to and resolved very quickly. We arranged for housekeeping between our guests and Maria did an amazing job and the pool and grounds were maintained beautifully. We loved the local area - great restaurants/coffee shop and bakers in the village and in Lavrio. We rotated between sandy and snorkelling beaches which kept everyone happy. An easy drive to Ellininka and metro to Athens made for a stress free visit. Honestly, we cannot rate Villa Eleni highly enough. We had the most wonderful, relaxing 5 weeks. Thank you

Absolutely wonderful villa - you will love it

We had a truly memorable stay at Villa Eleni. Everything you need is here and it was spotless. Communication with Eleni is excellent which is reassuring too. The location is wonderful; there are several restaurants and a bakery and mini market accessible on foot so you don’t need to drive everywhere. The temple of Poseidon is a must see and only 10-minutes’ drive away. The climb up the mountains behind the villa is also a good thing to do if you’ve older children. The villa is so luxurious and the pool is the icing on the cake. We all slept very well and felt very relaxed and it was a blessing to spend time together, watch movies and read in such a quiet and peaceful spot. Thank you to Eleni, Theo and Maria and families. We really hope to visit again!

Absolutely fantastic place

We arrived Friday afternoon together with my wife and two kids. The guidance provided by Elena was helpful and there were no problem finding the property. We did not expect the warm welcome by Spyros and Zoe, they were very helpful and kind giving the tour around and explaining details of the villa. The property itself is fantastic and has everything one could wish. Everything worked fine and maintained to a good condition and what is the most important thing I can say is that the house has soul which is not the case for the most of commercial properties. Small details make real difference! The location itself is easily accessible from Athenes airport, the city tour is convenient and there are some nice taverns in Legrena village. The closest supermarket we did our shopping is in Lavrio. I definitely would recommend this villa not only to those who ask for but to my best friends, too. Unfortunately this place has one major disadvantage ... the holidays are over too soon here which means I would come again

A-MA-ZING, especially for families

Stayed at Villa Eleni with my wife + 2 young daughters. Read on for detail if you wish, but my review does not include even minor recommendations. This place is incredible. Location = 5 stars! 10 min. drive from the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio. 10-15 min. walk from main village (main square, 2 bakeries, 4-5 restaurants, an espresso bar, butcher, kids' playground, church, etc). Bonus - only a 20-30 min. walk (or a 1.5 min. drive) from either of 2 nearby beaches (our favourite was Xapaka/Haraka). Other bonus - no stray dogs! House + layout = 5 stars! This house could easily be in a magazine. Huge, well-equipped kitchen, all appliances/clothes washing machine are German (Miele). House is very roomy, well-designed open layout, multiple large patios with excellent views for dining/sitting/relaxing. Thick marble flooring + very well constructed bedrooms means footsteps won't wake sleeping children, etc. Even the floor drains are marble! Everything in this house is meticulously thought-out and well-designed - including the massive pool and backyard landscaping. Connectivity + entertainment = 5 stars! Internet connection is strong & fast. Dozens of Greek and international satellite channels available. Lots of electrical outlets for charging devices. Huge microfibre couches for napping/tv watching/reading/entertaining/etc. Night time safety = 5 stars! First of all, we never felt unsafe for one second walking around at night or in to the village. Everybody is friendly, no stray dogs were spotted (a rarity in Greece these days), and it's so peaceful at night, you can literally hear the ferry boats' engines churning as they pass by your patios. But any village that is primarily full during summer weekends is bound to have some bad things happen now and again. As mentioned above, everything has been thought out extremely well. Huge automatic gate provides a secured entrance to the property, which is surrounded by a very solid wall/fence combo. Windows seem to be double-thickness, and are bolstered by metal shutters that raise and lower with the turn of a switch. The front door is basically a bank vault door, you can even see who's knocking with a video screen right beside the door handle! The owners = 10 stars! Emails/phone call are answered promptly, everyone is super friendly and made sure to let us know they were available for questions any time. They were so nice to my family, I wanted to invite them to have dinner with us - at their own house!

September visit

This villa is very comfortable and very private. The pool is impressively large and all amenities are generous. The neighbourhood was very quiet in early September so that small coves and nearby beaches easy to drive to and park. We ate out every night in many local Tavernas and enjoyed a trip to Lavrio and the temple of Poseidon and also an afternoon trip to Athens. We would be happy to return.

Villa Eleni 2019

This is a fantastic villa, set up like a family home rather than a rental property. Lots of room for two families, aircon in all the right rooms, great kitchen and the best swimming pool we've ever had at a villa. Most of it is about 3m deep so great for diving. Views from the 2 balconies are better than you see in the photos, they are also shaded so you can use them all day. At night the clear skies make for great stargazing from the top floor. Communications with Eleni prior to arrival were great and her wonderful parents Zoi and Spyros were there to meet us, show us around the house and even gave us a tour of Legrena. The town has about a half dozen taverna's that serve really good local food at fantastic prices. You can walk to town on a quiet back road in just over 10 minutes. Not many foreign tourists around Legrena so it feels a lot different to most holiday spots in a way that we thought much better. Drop into George in the bakery beside restaurant Theodore and Helens and get him to convince you to buy some of their super pastries with feta and sun-dried tomatoes. He might even treat you to some of his local Greek hooch which will leave a spring in your step. Nearby towns of Annavisos and Lavrion have lots of restaurants and supermarkets, only about 15 min drive each. Across the main road from the villa there are a couple of beaches with bars serving drinks and snacks. Try Kape beach bar, they do nice pizzas for lunch and it was our favourite beach down a few steps. A few minutes up the road is Poseidon's temple, well worth a look. There is a really nice looking hotel there, Cape Sounion I think, which we will definitely visit when we go back to this villa next year. Last thing: the weather was perfect, 30-35 Deg daytime and high 20's in the evening but with a constant breeze so we rarely felt too hot unless you choose to go out in the mid-day sun.

Just perfect!

This villa really is a luxury home from home. It really is the most beautiful villa we have ever stayed in. Location wise you could not ask for s better view. Every balcony looks out towards the sea, and the small islands in the distance. The pool is by far the largest we have ever had in a villa, and is deep enough for diving. The kitchen has every bit of equipment you can dream of - from an ice making fridge, to a milkshake mixer! Locally, there are a couple of lovely bakeries and some fantastic tavernas. Posiedens temple is only 5 minutes away, and the sunset from there is just stunning! If you are looking for a relaxing holiday in luxury surroundings, them this is the place for you. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this villa - it is just perfect!!!

Stunning villa in a peaceful location

We stayed end of June 2018 as a family of 4. Communication with Eleni was easy and she provided information about the area and easy directions from the airport. Spyros and Zoi met us at villa Eleni on our arrival and showed us around which included a trip to the local village and beach which was a lovely touch, and they provided a large bowl of fresh fruit, wine, and biscuits. The villa is very well equipped with air con throughout and excellent WiFi. It is very spacious in a nice quiet location, very secure with private gates on entry , stunning ocean views and a very impressive rather deep pool - We spent most of our time here. The area is very quiet and a car is a must. There’s a few taverns in the village , we ate at one but preferred to drive into Lavrios which is just under 20 minutes away . There you will find many restaurants catering for different tastes. Again, extremely quiet during the week but came alive at weekends with the locals. We were sad to leave and enjoyed the peace and fantastic weather.

Great place, great views, great people!

This is a great place away from the "touristy areas". The house was beautiful with all the amenities you could want (Sauna shower, bathroom for each room, plenty of beds, fully stocked kitchen with plates, silverware, pots, pans, coffee pot, blender, tea kettle, and anything else you could think of) to keep you relaxed and enjoying yourself. The owners, Zoey and Spayros, were outstanding hosts! The provided any information you could want/need to help you enjoy. They are very friendly and open. They were key in providing information about the area, attractions, towns and even culture! This place is only about 45 minutes from the Athens Int'l Airport or 1 hour from Athens proper (tourist attractions). It is convenient enough to drive this short distance for a day trip and be back home in the quiet serenity of the Aegean Sea. The grounds are well taken care of the house is clean and comfortable and I highly recommend this place. From start to finish Eleni was very helpful with booking and understanding and then her parents greet you at the house and provide all the information you need. Just a GREAT way to get away with the family and/or friends! Thanks Eleni, Zoey and Spayros!

Vacation Get Away in Dream Destination Greece

Villa Elleni is a wonderful place that is situated in a prime location. The views are breathtaking and the accommodations are 5 star. The listing accurately describes the location. The property is immaculate. The pool and outdoor kitchen are but a few of the perks for an enjoyable and memorable family vacation. Our family spent days at the beach or touring Athens and Delphi and came back to our wonderful home and relaxed by the poolside while the kids swam. The older kids where close to disco's which afforded them nightlife. The owner/managers are amazing, they answered our every question. Their information was timely and reliable. I not only would recommend this property to others but I look forward to booking it again when time allows.

Spacious Villa, amazing views, cooling breezes

We stayed for 12 days in June. Everything was better than expected - from the reservation process, to the welcome by the owning family, to the villa itself, the pool, the view across the Aegean Sea, and the cooling breezes each day. Five star holiday at a five star villa. The owing family were there to welcome us and show us around the area with recommendations on grocery shopping, tavernas, beaches etc. This is a very well equipped villa. Cool marble floors and amazing sea views. You can catch the sun at different times of the day on different balconies. Pool is very clean - filtered/cleaned daily. The grounds are also maintained regularly. We alternated day trips with rest days in the pool or at the beach. If you want the resort life, this area is not for you. If you want to relax, see the real Greece, meet friendly local people, and have access to interesting day trips - this is a great place to stay. Easy 45 min drive from the airport. Small, quiet (except weekends) but good local beaches nearby. Catch sunset at the Temple of Poseidon only 5 mins away. Athens is an easy day trip. Drive 45 mins to the Metro stop (Elliniko - Line 2). Park at the A-B supermarket, then 20 mins on the metro to Akropoli. Try a day trip to Kea (Tzia) from the nearby port of Lavrio. We loved it. We also did a day trip to ancient Corinth and Epidavros, and another day trip to Delphi. If the opportunity arises - would definitely stay there again.

Fantasic Stay

We had a fantastic stay - a little hard to find in the dark, but we got there in the end with help from the owners. They were very welcoming, and provided a guided tour of Legrena, with tips on the best local tavernas and where to shop. The villa is very spacious, has a well-equipped kitchen, including the obligatory frapee maker and an ice machine, and a living room with amazing views over the sea. The pool is great, although very deep for the most part. Plenty of bathrooms, air conditioned bedrooms, and well located for a day trip to Athens, and a few minutes away from the Temple of Poseidon. All in all, we had a great time, and would certainly consider coming back.

Best vacation accommodation ever!

Super villa with very large infinity pool overlooking the Aegean Sea. Very comfortable, inviting property. In the verandas of the Villa we had the most romantic evenings of our lives. Our kids had a blast in the pool and beautiful garden. At the beaches that surround Villa Eleni, there are many shallow areas that are paradise for the little ones. The owners treated us like family. My wife and I had a great break from our routine. We recommend it to everyone and we will certainly go back with friends.
