Photos and Description of the Marathon vacation villa rental
5 bedrooms, sleeps up to 10

This is definitely a special and distinct villa with strong character. Clearly different from what you usually find. It is built in a privileged settlement, in a plot overlooking the picturesque bay underneath and the open Aegean sea from 50 meters above. The villa is built with stones from its own land, in an inspired 'castle like' design, according the local architectural tradition. The ample and intended use of natural and low treated materials, such as stone, wood and iron, create a feeling of calmness, intimacy and feeling welcomed. The tasteful decoration, with matching country style but luxurious furnishings, will make you deeply relax, enjoy and feel so happy and content, that you will not want to leave from this place!

The setting of your vacations can make the big difference in the feeling and their value!

In this place you feel like you are away of it all, while you are less than an hour away from Athens, Acropolis, and infinite cultural and recreational possibilities.

The sea - Surroundings: - 200 m in front of the villa, you can dive to the sea from the cliffs and snorkel in the crystal clear waters.

- In 1,8 km there is the top rated sandy beach of Schinias, with crystal clear and mostly calm waters which extends for more than 6km. Its rather shallow in front and has a rare cone forest in the back ,reaching to the water edge!

In this beach, you can find picturesque fish tavernas, organized parts of the beach with sun loungers and bars, lonely spots to be by yourself under your own tree, and the best and busiest beach clubs of Athens, offering all water sports, such as windsurfing, skiing, tubes, wake board, beach volley and happenings.

The Olympics 2004 venue for rowing & canoeing is also in this area.

Schinias National Park, a Natura 2000 member, is part of this beach.

Many villages in the sea side or at the hills, at short distance, to enjoy walking, dining, or having a coffee.

At 16km Nea Makri, offers a great variety of shops, tavernas and sea front promenade.

Athens, nearby islands & other excursions: Athens, the busy capital, with its world class 'must see' monument of Acropolis is nearly an hour away!

Enjoy a day city tour, visit Acropolis, the so nice and interesting adjacent archaeological sites, walk to the picturesque streets of old city Plaka, and dine in the rejuvenated old area of Keramikos.

If you don't like driving, the bus will pick you up from the beach, 2km from the villa, and drop you off to the reliable subway station, where you can easily access everything at no worry.

A daily cruise from Piraeus port, to 3 picturesque islands of Saronic gulf is a much worth attraction.

If Archaeology inspires you, important places like Corinth, Argolis, Mycenae, Epidaurus & Nafplion can all be visited on one day.

Delphi, with the ancient oracle, the belly button of earth as believed in antiquity, is another option for a daily excursion.

Ramnous with its rich remains is just 3 bays away

And the most important, Schinias belongs to famous for the ancient battle and run Maratho

Environment - Nature: For the Nature & Environment interested, the Villa's settlement is adjacent to the Natura 2000, Schinias National Park.

A part of the beach, the rare cone forest, of only 3 in Greece and very few in whole Mediterranean, and the near by water biotope is a real gem.

For birdwatchers, they can see more than 223 bird species, endemic or migratory, from the 6 observatories, virtually in the heart of their home.

Walking, cycling, or enjoying the forest and the wild life is at its best.

Superb!!

All the family enjoyed a great time at Stone Castle Villa. Michael and Niki were great and their help and support was much appreciatted. Michael was extremely helpful both on a day to day supervision to help to solve maintenace problems to small but also providing very useful local tips.
The maintenance and estate of all the furniture and equipment was well above expectations. All the basics of a rented house were in place, saving a lot of time and small efforts for us on arrival. All the pictures are real and the house is simply superb.
The house is very well located. A short five min walk to the sea (rocky area) and three minutes by car to a great sand beach. There are very interesting tourist atractions within a 60´ radius and the location is perfect to combine tourism and beach.
The area is quite local and there are very few foreigners, making the stay much more real.
Definetely a great choice.
Thanks Michael and Niki for your efforts to make this two weeks a wonderful time for all the family.

Wunderschöne Villa direkt am Meer

Stone Castle Villa ist ein wunderschönes Haus mit fantastischem Meerblick und perfekter Einrichtung. Wir waren 10 Personen und hatten immer noch genug Freiräume, sodaß man sich auch aus dem Weg gehen konnte, wenn man denn wollte. Es war so schön, dass wir gar keine großen Ausflüge unternommen haben. Lieber verbrachten wir die Zeit am Pool oder auf einer der schönen Terassen der Villa! Michael war ein perfekter Vermieter. Gab es Fragen oder Probleme ( Gepäck nicht am Flughafen angekommen..) war er immer direkt zur Stelle um zu helfen.
Danke noch mal, für die tolle Betreuung und für eine so traumhafte Unterkunft. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

We had a wonderful, warm week in this beautiful and quiet area of Greece. We were a big company, 6 adults and 8 children, and still the house gave everybody privacy. With so many bed- and bathrooms, it's a great property for family gatherings.
It is a well-maintained house, you find everything you need in the kitchen. It's great to get towels and lining.
We spent a lot of time by the sea at the cliffs below the house, where you could go snorkelling and discover the sealife, just a few minutes walk from the house.
For lunch, we went down to the beach were we enjoyed the local food at the tavernas.
Our evenings were spent around the pool after having great dinners cooked in the outdoor-barbeque.
It was great with the little grocerystore up the road, the kids really liked to stroll up there to buy fruit and icecream.

We really appreciated Michaels generous and friendly service, thank you for a memory for life!

Exceptional Home for my Family Vacation

The Stone Castle Villa is the absolute perfect location to explore Greece. Our expectations were surpassed upon arrival as Michael graciously provided us with fresh fruit and cold juice while overlooking the Aegean Sea. We then experienced a thorough tour of the Villa, exquisite layout and incredible design, what an absolutely fantastic place to rent.

From the master bedroom my wife and I experienced gorgeous sunrises as we sipped our morning coffee and read the scriptures. We had our four children and two of their spouses with us, all had more than enough space to live in comfort and privacy, when not gathering around the dinner table or having ping pong tournaments.

From the very beginning we found all that was needed to live comfortably in the Villa...just a quick ride to to local grocery store, where again, we found all that our family needed to cook meals for the eight of us. The outside barbecue area is great for those who love to cook and enjoy the beautiful views at the same time. The kitchen is also totally equipped for all cooking needs and was the hub of our family gatherings on many a night.

I'm in total agreement with the other reviewers, Michael brought us a most gracious family welcome, made us all feel like his family, and we couldn't have been more blessed. (Thanks for the Lamb recipe Michael) The Stone Castle Villa superseded our high expectations which is difficult to do, the photos are only a small taste of what you can fully expect as you make your home at the Villa. We had an incredible stay in Greece, we love the Greek people, they are the most gracious and friendly people we've ever met in our travels. Delight yourself to a true blessing and spend a lifetime of memories at the Stone Castle Villa.

Perfect Relaxation Holiday

  • Submitted: Feb 11, 2012

Having just returned from a fabulous week spent at the Stone Castle Villa, I must say the it was way better than we expected. The brochure description and photos do not even come close to how beautiful the place actually is. The scenery from the villa is exquisite. The beautiful views of the Aegean sea and the gorgeous sunrises were just breathtaking. We spent many a mornings sitting on the front verandah just watching the sea and the waves.

It was lovely to see the attention to detail that Michail and Nicki (the owners) had put into the entire place. There was nothing that we needed that we could not find in the property. The kitchen was equipped with every amenity one could think of. Along with this the hospitality of our hosts was amazing. I am especially grateful for the lovely Greek dinner that Michail and Nicki prepared for us. Along with the authentic Greek food we also got the opportunity to experience Greek hospitality. Being with them in their beautiful home felt like being with family.

Since the villa is located in the area of Marathon/Schinias, there are numerous historic places to visit close by. I highly recommend a trip to the Marathon lake and the food at the local taverns. In order to get around though one must have their own car. Having a car gave us the opportunity to venture from the commonly tread path and experience some amazing views of this gorgeous place.

In all, this is a marvelous property with such lovely and thoughtful owners who could not have done more to make our stay more delightful and pleasurable. We had a wonderful vacation and hope to return to Stone Castle Villa soon.
