We spent a wonderful week at the villa. We have 3 boys and they enjoyed the house and the pool. The views from the villa at sunrise and sunset are the most beautiful we have ever seen. We also went to Mykonos and other isles but it was difficult to leave the house. It was georgeous. The owners are very helpful and the house has all amenities.

Thank you for a lovely stay in your beautifully positioned villa. The views of the see were breathtaking and were truly appreciated. As a base for an independent traveler, the villa has been in an ideal location with easy access to Athens by driving to the metro; an easy drive to Delphi and finally to explore the Peloponnese. The swimming pool proved to be a great way to relax and cool down after a day spent exploring Greece and its ancient history. Raphael, London

My husband and I travelled to Greece to celebrate two 40th wedding anniversaries (my parents and our very dear friends). We had the absolute pleasure and good fortune of staying at Villa Stella! The house was amazing…the view was stunning and we enjoyed the pool more than you can imagine! Vasso was a true gem! We enjoyed the many conversations we had with her and appreciated her hospitality, humor, knowledge and recommendations. Vasso and her sister, Despina, ensured the 40th wedding anniversary celebration was a huge success by arranging for a private chef and providing such a welcoming environment! Despina and Vasso were truly gracious hosts and we could not have asked for anything more! We took Vasso’s and Despina’s recommendation and used Stavros as our tour guide. There are not enough words to describe the value he added! His knowledge of the country, its history, culture and people was spectacular. He was so kind and accommodating! To quote my husband…”he walks on water”! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! We had such an amazing time!

Our trip to Greece and staying at Sella Villa with family and friends for our 40th wedding anniversary was AMAZING . The accommodations were outstanding and the views stunning. It was perfect for the 10 of us.Great location for a getaway yet close to great beaches and good restaurants. Vasso and Despina were great hostess and helpful with our travel needs. We did use Stavros as our travel guide he was extremely helpful with transfers and driving us to Dephi.Rented a van from Clio rent a car very good service. Our stay at Stilla Villa was more than we could ever have imaged . Thanks for all your help and kindness. Cindy & Harry

All we can say is WOW! Vasso (and Despina), thank you so much for all of your wonderful hospitality. Your home was perfect for our both the "sixtysomething's" and the "thirtysomethings". The views were stunning and the pool inviting!!! You were extremely helpful and accommodating, specifically during the 40th wedding aniversery festivities...one of our favorite nights and we enjoyed toasting, talking and laughing with you both! We decided to use Stavros as our tour guide...by far the smartest thing we did our entire stay!!! He was extremely intellegent, kind and patient;) Laying out by the pool and Schinias Beach was the perfect ending to the vacation. Thank you Vasso and we hope to see you again.

This was one of the best vacations I have ever taken, and the accommodations were stellar. The views from the property are the main attraction: from almost every window in the house you have amazing views of the sea laid out before you. Basking in the pool while gazing out on the bright blue ocean is an experience everyone should have at least once in their lifetime. Multiple patios that allow you to sunbathe or relax in the shade were a nice bonus. Inside, the house is well-appointed with nice details (like marble floors and pretty bathrooms). I loved sitting in the living room with the floor-to-ceiling windows during the heat of the day and reading. The property gives you a feeling of being "away from it all," in the lap of luxury, yet within half an hour there are multiple fun towns to explore, sandy beaches, restaurants, shopping. It's close enough to Athens, Delphi and Sounion (all of which I highly recommend) and yet it's away from all the hustle and bustle--which was the perfect mix. Local restaurants were yummy, and you can't beat eating in your bathing suit and sarong (talk about casual!). Of course the property was clean, well-maintained, great customer service-- we had no complaints and would love to return someday.

Villa Stella Review
Guest: A man

Review Submitted: 06/02/10
We arrived in Athens after a Med cruise on NCL. We rented a 9 seat van from the owner recommended Clio car rental. The vehicle was delivered to the airport as stated, but we found the van an older, well used, vehicle with 65000 km and absolutely no vehicle options. Do not get the GPS as there are numerous areas where it will not work, like getting to the house. The directions to the property provided were adequate, but could be improved by indicating kilometer distances between turn points. We met the owner at the entrance to the subdivision, but found no gate to the gated community and only occasionally a guard that never challenged our nonstop passage. Arriving at the house we found the property to be generally surface clean. However, items such as the coffee maker would not even percolate because it was so dirty, the pool had not been cleaned and the house smelled of cigarette smoke. The owners lived on the lower floor and continued their smoking that filtered upward until we addressed the issue with them. If prospective renters typically sleep on a softer mattress, note that these are rock hard. The satellite TV service did not work and the owner did not make any efforts to reinstate service. The house has a great view at a remote location, but it takes say 20 minutes to get out to the main road for restaurants, shopping, etc. We have rented previously, typically at ski areas (Aspen, etc) where the properties are expertly maintained, but found the maintainence lacking for a property in this category.
Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback and criticism. We will certainly take it into consideration, especially things we are responsible for and can fix, such as clogged coffee makers.
