"Stone Castle Villa" panoramic sea view, in sandy beach, near Athens

A rare Greek traditional house, full of character, with great sea views, 9 bedrooms, next to a beach, to enjoy the best Greece offers: sea and countryside + Acropolis and Athens city center, all from a most convenient base.

The intended abudant use of natural and low treated materials, like stone, wood and iron, create a feeling of immediacy, comfort and inner relaxation in a way that few places can do.
It is tastefully decorated in a country but luxurious manner, with antiques, hand crafted wooden and iron furniture, that invite you to unwind in casualness comfort and style.
The house is built in the gated settlement of Judges & Attorneys.
It is positioned on the cliffs, 50 meters above the sea, providing privacy, and great views to the picturesque bay underneath and the Aegean sea.

Schinias, belongs to the municipality of Marathon, where the famous ancient battle took place and where the world renowned Marathon run originates.

Beyond exceptional accommodation
The villa is very spacious and beautiful with a lovely terrace and pool area. It was extremely hot during our visit, so this was where we spent the majority of our time when we were at the villa. The beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning enabled us to escape the heat for a good night’s sleep.

Perfect property for large family gathering
The Stone Castle Villa was the perfect property for our large family reunion. It really is just as stunning as it looks in the photos! Well appointed and with plenty of space for our party of 18 around the pool and at meal times. There was a good mix of sun and shade which worked well with our group spanning ages 10 to 80. The outlook from the villas location is stunning. The rocky local beach is a nice spot for snorkelling. Schinias is a short drive for a sandy beach, bars/restaurants and a bit more life. Michael was the perfect host. Communication was excellent and he couldn't have been more helpful with arrangements both in advance of, and during our stay.

Quick off-season vacation
My wife and I had a wonderful time at the Stone Castle Villa. It was everything as advertised. The views of the Aegean Sea were fantastic. Michael, the Villa host, was very helpful about showing us all aspects of the Villa. The area was totally Greek. Would really recommend the local Pleasure Restaurant. Also, recommend the stay at the Villa. We hope to stay there again in the future.

Wonderful Family Vacation!
My family and former exchange students stayed at Stone Castle Villa for a week vacation and it was perfect! There were 15 of us, 4 kids ages 2-10 and 11 adults. There were plenty of bedrooms (and bathrooms) and enough space for us to spread out and not be on top of each other. We hired a private chef who used one of the kitchens while we used the other kitchen for breakfast/lunch items. The location was great as we could reach the basics by walking – a small corner store and beach – but jump in our cars to head to cafes, sandy beaches, or a 30-45min drive into Athens. Michael was a wonderful host and was very responsive! Several of our group arrived prior to check-in time and hung out by the pool as the cleaning staff was readying the rooms. Michael provided snacks and drinks, walked us through all of the “to knows” about the villa, and even showed us recommended things to do on a map. He continued to check in through our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and provide additional recommendations on things to do/places to see. This was the perfect rental for our vacation – allowing us to go on day trips to explore but having a beautiful home base with a large outdoor table for all of us to relax and catch up! Would highly recommend both the villa and working with Michael!

Unbelievable
Stone Castle Villa is better than you can imagine! The moment you arrive to see the beautiful architecture of the home and the breathtaking view, you won’t want to leave. Michael was there with warm greetings and explained everything we wanted to know. He was a wonderful host and now our friend. We rented a car to get around and that worked out well for day trips, runs to the store and to and from the airport. We picked up an inexpensive snorkel and mask and walked down to the incredible clear warm sea several times to swim off the rocks. Most of the time we ate fresh fruit, vegetables and cheese by the pool while taking in the view. The beach bars are 10 minutes away and offer two chairs and an umbrella with service for about 15 euros a day. Easy drive into Athens. We ate at the Argentinian restaurant a few times enjoying the grilled lamb and fresh Greek salads. There is little store at the end of the street you can walk to for any necessities. If your looking for a relaxing place to stay with friends or family away from the bustle of the city, this is the place. Thank you Michael for sharing your incredible home with us. We can’t wait to come back!

We absolutely loved staying at Stone Castle Villa! After seeing the beautiful pictures of the villa online, we decided to book it for a week and it exceeded all our expectations! Our three-generation family loved staying here!! We had plenty of room, the views are gorgeous and we really enjoyed the pool. The house had every amenity that we needed. We also liked the neighborhood. We spent time in Athens and other cities, but loved coming back to the quietness of this area after a busy day. Michael was very accommodating throughout the entire process. Michael was very easy to reach and responded quickly to any questions we had. I asked him for recommendations for a chef and a tour guide, and he gave us names for both. His recommendations were wonderful!! We cannot say enough good things about this villa and our stay in Greece! Thank you Michael for making it such a wonderful vacation for our family!!

Michael, the host, was outstanding! He helped with directions to the villa, was there to greet us (even though we were late), and provided us with recommendations for eating, transportation, and sightseeing. He was always available through text for anything we needed. The home itself is one of a kind! The stonework is gorgeous, the layout and location great! The Villa is actually two almost identical homes connected by a covered porch and pool, with a separate guest house …. Plenty of room for family and friends! Anything you could possibly want is included in the Villa …. huge tables, MANY outdoor lounges, chairs, beach towels. It was truly a great place to unwind and enjoy our first time in Greece. We spent two weeks there in early June, and the weather was delightful, with a constant breeze throughout the day and evening … no need for air conditioning, although it is available in the bedrooms. Marathon beach was nearby, with delightful places to eat right on the beach! A small food purchase actually comes with shaded lounge chairs to spend a delightful afternoon by the sea! Of course, there are several other beaches within 5 minutes to also enjoy. Since we spent two weeks there, the Villa was cleaned between weeks, and they, too, did an outstanding job! The washer provided was a great bonus! It is hard to put into words how much we enjoyed our stay! Next time we may stay for a month!

Spectacular Stay at Stone Castle Villa
Eleven of us stayed her for five nights. It was everything we hoped it would be and much more. There was plenty of room for all of us. Everything was as described. The views of the Aegean Sea are amazing. The pool was lovely. The neighborhood is quiet and serene. It's an easy drive from the airport, but you do need a car as it is somewhat remote. The host, Michael, was so gracious and helpful. We were celebrating my 50th birthday, and I couldn't have asked for more. I highly recommend this property for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I hope to come back again someday.

Fantastiv Villa!
We were a party of four families; 8 adults and 10 teens/children. We had the most wonderful week in the lovely Stone Castle Villa. It exceeded our expectations by far! The view of the ocean from practically all rooms and patios is spectacular. Beyond the beautiful, spacious and homey house we also got to experience a five star host in Michael. He is attentive, kind and very service minded. Any and all requests we had, Michael fulfilled. The location of the villa is perfect; a couple of minutes by foot to take a morning dip in the blue ocean, and a few minutes drive to a beautiful sandy beach and some nice taverns serving tasty Greek food. We can highly recommend staying in the Stone Castle Villa, and hope to come back soon.
