Blue Coast Villa | Elegant Villa on the Athenian Riviera near sandy beaches

We booked the Vila for a week at the end of September 2018, for our daughter's destination wedding at the Athenian Riviera - Island, in Varkiza. The Vila, the location, the views, the friendly owners (Theodore and Angela) not only met but by far exceeded our expectation. The house is fantastic and better than what the photos show. the Views are panoramic and unobstructed. We had about 8 of us staying in the Vila very comfortably. we also had a pre-wedding party at the Vila the evening before the wedding with catered food etc. Again, very nice accommodations for all the above at the Vila. Not to forget the owners, Theodore and Angela: they welcomed us with a home -baked cake and champagne and they were available to help with anything we needed. plus, the have the Vila all decked out with anything you may need (from supplies to linens, dishes...etc.). You will love this property!

We arrived at Athens airport around midday and were met by a smiling Theo who welcomed us by name, as old friends! He needn’t have, as the car rental company, arranged on his recommendation, was there for us too. We were in Athens for a large destination wedding with activities centred around Vouliagmeni and chose the Villa Blue Coast to be far from the maddening crowd. Traveling as a family of four with two grown up daughters, we knew we would have other guests, but weren’t sure how many, so this villa seemed to be the right kind of size with enough flexibility.

The view was an important consideration and did not disappoint. An array of facilities for a chance family holiday was also important and the location was near enough to where we needed to be for the events. The neighbourhood is rustic, authentic and offered excellent privacy and security. The interior design showed the owners great passion for a simple and relaxed lifestyle and love for entertaining.

There are so many chill out zones for everyone and is really perfect for large family holidays. The many great features include the panoramic windows offering expansive views of the coastline and sea beyond, the large and very deep swimming pool with glass viewing from the media room below, the Home Cinema and separate powerful stereo systems for upstairs & downstairs and the lift! The comfortable rooms and excellent bathrooms shouldn’t be overlooked either.

The kitchen is very well equipped and the outdoor BBQ an essential luxury! Theo arranged for a lovely, English speaking cook to come in every morning at our request and Athena treated us to several great local dishes that set us up well for the rest of the day. He treated us and a dozen guests to a terrific BBQ on our penultimate night, showing his hands on brilliance in this area too!

We all enjoyed being in the house so much we didn’t get to see anything of Athens, not even the Acropolis! That’s how great the house is!!! Even the easy 20 minute drive to and from the airport didn’t take us past any view of the city, so we have plenty to do when we return. And that, we hope will be very soon.

We arrived as guests for a 5 night stay in their lovely home, but left as though we had been friends forever!

Great people and a great villa make for a great holiday!

Thodoro and Angela were absolutely wonderful. They treated us like family. The home and property were perfectly maintained and they offered us many amenities. I would highly recommend staying in their home.

The villa is pure Hollywood! Spacious, classy and well equipped. The rooms are huge, all with en-suites. The pool is superb (no chlorine) and has a window from the play-room, cue video fun.

Great location for airport & city centre as well as Temple of Poseidon.

To cap it all the hosts are incredibly helpful and friendly.

The house is beautiful. Theo and Angela are incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful hosts. Angela's carrot cake was sinfully delicious. The house itself is luxurious and well fitted. The master bedroom and bathroom were particularly enjoyable, with an enormous and comfortable bed. The pool was amazing and much deeper than most pools, which made it extra fun. The best beaches are about 15 minutes' drive. All in all we had a great stay with a big group, felt like home away from home. Theo was totally available and gave lots of good tips. Our only wish was for a bigger dishwasher.
