Are there two of you or eight? We can accommodate you. We can rent you just the two bedroom part of the villa or add a third bedroom and bath to accommodate your needs. Just ask us! Visit our guestbook, learn from our other guests' experience!
Our villa has three main floors, of which the first floor is currently for rent (ask us about the penthouse part of the villa starting in September 2008). It is completely self contained, with its private entrances (3) and verandas (2). The rental floor has 150sq m (about 1600sq feet) of living space, with two bedrooms and two baths.
The living room, dining room and kitchen areas form a large open space, flowing easily from the kitchen with the marble pass-through to the dining room with the uninhibited view of the Aegean from the 4 oversize living room windows. Large open spaces of our living room are adorned with three stucco veneziano Doric columns, hidden lighting and marble/tiled flooring. Windows overlooking the islands will entice you to spend many an hour on the wide tiled verandas or the living room. On a clear day one can see as far as Andros, Kea, Evia and several uninhabited islands.
The master bedroom has a queen sized bed, the second bedroom includes a loft (perfect for kids and young adults) and a total of 4 single beds (or two single beds and a queen size bed). The third bedroom has a double bed with a private exterior entrance to the rest of the house. All three bedrooms have their own private bathrooms.
ThE AREA
Stargazer Villa is one of the most impressive private Greek Vacation Villas located in a 'gated" community of THEMIS by the Schinias environmental Park (the only one in Greece). Located within 50km from down town Athens, it overlooks the plain of Marathon and the most pristine beach of Greece, Schinias. The 'start' of Marathon is just a 10 minute drive from our home, access to the port of Rafina where you can pick up the boat for Myconos is just 20-30 minutes away. Corinth, Mycenae, Delphi and many other great places are within an easy day's excursion.
Only a few minutes down the hill from our villa, you can enjoy delightful swims, snorkeling, scuba diving, or diving off the rocky coast in the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea. This rocky untouched coast is one of the best kept secrets in Greece and it is part of our community, Themis. The water here is immediately about three meters deep. Diving off the rocks is very popular among the young and not so young! The fish and other marine life are delightful to watch while snorkeling. The rocky coastline abounds with secluded spots perfect for sunbathing in privacy.
Small children love Schinias Beach, one of the most popular in the Athens area. Unlike many beaches in Greece, it is a sand beach. The water is clean, clear, and protected from large waves and sea currents. You can walk a long way before the water comes up to your waist, about a couple hundred meters for an adult. The kids love it! It is perfect for toddlers. They learn how to swim without being afraid of the water, by playing and wading in and out.
There are many little restaurants and sports places on the beach as well as plenty of night life within 5 minutes from our community.
PROFFESSIONAL DRIVER AND PRIVATE TOURS:
Do you want to see the sites without having to battle the locals for the road? Do you want to enjoy the country side and leave the driving to us? We can provide an English speaking professional driver who can use his own taxi service or drive your rental car which ever is most appropriate. He can pick you up from the airport and escort you to the villa. He can recommend many special daily excursions tailored to your needs. From visiting Delphi, Athens day and night, Corinth, Mycenae, trekking in Evia and many more. He knows his country and history like the “back of his hand” and his prices are unbeatable! |
