We would like to tell the world about "Stargazer" Villa and how fortunate we were to find it. The panoramic views from the Villa's balcony/patio are breathtaking. It has the most fantastic sunrises and at night the lights of the coastal communities are beautiful. Stargazer Villa comes with the most accommodating and interesting hosts

Thank you so very much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! After 6 weeks of traveling all over France and down through Italy and taking the 17-hour ferry over to Greece, we finally slowed down and truly relaxed for the past 2 weeks here at Stargazer Villa. It truly feels like home! Bill& I, not cooks by nature, really enjoyed making salads, pasta, breakfast, etc. in the open, spacious kitchen, then enjoying our meals at the table by the windows enjoying the spectacular view! Thanks for the many special personal touches such as: the welcoming basket, breakfast items left in the refrigerator for our first breakfast the following morning, plenty of paper goods and washing products, the conveniences of a washer and dryer, computer, phone line to the U.S., etc. We enjoyed the Acropolis in Athens, amazed by the drive to Delphi, Corinth, Nafplion, and Mycenae, but we really enjoyed the quiet solitude and beauty of the natural God-made surroundings of this lovely area.
Despina, it was always a joy talking with you by phone or exchanging e-mails. Would love to meet you and
Stavros one day. It was a delight to meet Rosa and Stavros. They were wonderful and very helpful during our stay.
Thanks again, and God bless you both for making it possible for us, and so many others, to have a special place like Stargazer Villa to come to and make memories that will last a lifetime.
All our love,
Marilyn & Bill

We had an wonderful time at the Stargazer, and Despina and Stavros were AMAZING hosts! The view is even better than the pictures, the local beach and the tavernas were a welcome break from sightseeing in Athens, and the lower guest house space is huge and homey. I definitely recommend renting a car for future guests so that you can get around easily (which we had) and also hiring their neighbor (also named Stavros) for a private tour up to Delphi! It couldn't have been a better field trip for our family or euros well spent. Cape Sunion was also an easy hour or so from the Stargazer, which we found with the help of Stavros' directions on our own. I hope we can come back some day soon. You could spend months at the Stargazer and never get tired of the sights! I would love to stay in the upper penthouse next time...

We stayed at the villa in September 2002 for our honeymoon, it was amazing!
A lifetime of memories :)
We have never seen such a beautiful place since...so unique with that sense of freedom you experience when looking down towards the sea from the awesome terrace...
We have never been welcomed so lovingly and kindly as by Despina and Stavros.
Thank you so much - it was truely a holiday we shall never forget!

Despina and Stavros,
It was amazing staying at the Stargazer Villa.
The veiw from every window in the house was amazing!!!
It was fantastic waking up every morning lookig out at the Adriatic Sea.
There was so much room in your house! 10 of my apartments could fit inside your home.
It was AWSOME going to the beach every day.At Schinias it it was nice to swim on my own because the beach was so
shallow and when you got hungry you could just go up on the beach to the Taverna/Tabepna and eat fried sardines and
french fries and bread.
Another cool thing was zig zaging up the mountain to your house.
it was nice when we arrived and you welcomed us into your home and took us down to the beach .( And waking up at 4:00 in the morning to say goodbye to us when we left. )
I hope that I get to go back to the the Stargazer Villa!

What a wonderful time we had at Stargazer! Our family, consisting of my wife and me, our son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, and our daughter, found the house to be well-suited for both family time and separate time. The high-speed internet and direct line to America certainly helped us keep in touch with the happenings of home. The property was well-furnished with every possible amenity and was very clean. We very much enjoyed Rosa and Stavros, who helped make our time in Greece very pleasant. Stavros was our guide for several days and was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. Rosa was very kind to us and kept us supplied with wonderful Greek desserts. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

I had always dreamed of a family vacation on mainland Greece, and the minute I saw the Stargazer Villa's website, I knew I had found the perfect spot and hosts for our adventure. From the moment I contacted Despina and Stavros, they were most helpful and gracious in providing us with all the information and advice we needed for our trip. Their villa is absolutely fabulous with so many amenities and so comfortable and roomy for my husband and I and our three teenagers. The villa is so close to a very relaxing beach, and centrally located to visit many wonderful historic sites. Ten days in Greece was not near enough to enjoy it all. In their gorgeous villa with the incredible views, Despina and Stavros will treat you like family. I guarantee that a stay at Stargazer will be incomparable to practically any other vacation villa you have ever visited! Thank you Despina and Stavros for everything!!

Thank-you to Despina and Stavros for their wonderful hospitality in their beautiful villa. The views of the ocean from the deck and from the large picture windows were absolutely gorgeous! Closeby are sandy beaches, hidden rock coves, tavernas with delicious Greek salads and cold beer.
The house is roomy and beautifully decorated. We stayed with our three teenagers and there was plenty of room to spread out. Despina and Stavros were very thoughtful giving us advice as to where to visit and good restaurants to try. They even invited us to join them for a lovely 4th of July barbeque. We have wonderful memories of our stay at their villa.
