Private Greek Villa with swimming pool, near beach & ancient history

*This property is Disinfection Certified. All areas are covered by a systematic disinsectization and rodenticide program, as well as disinfection of surfaces and volumes internally and externally after the departure and before the arrival of new tenants.*

Epidaurus. Such a historically, culturally, and aesthetically unique area, even for Greece's standards. Reputed to be the birthplace of Apollo's son Asclepius, the God of healing and medicine, Epidaurus was known for its sanctuary, and even more for its theatre, which is still in use today; an architectural masterpiece marvelled for its extraordinary acoustics, which hosts exquisite theatrical and musical performances on cool summer evenings. This, surrounded by a landscape which is a true example of what we Greeks call ''Blessed land''. Combining steep hills, lush vegetation, and of course wonderful beaches, it is simply a delight to behold.

Epidaurus is at the heart of Greece's most treasured historical sites. A short drive in almost any direction will lead you to Ancient Corinth, the ruins of Ancient Mycenae, the Castle-port of Nauplio, Ancient Tyrinth, and several more historical sites, all intertwined with a marvellous coastal countryside. Villa Thaleia itself is separated by a 5 minute walk from a long beach boasting crystal clear waters, and a less than 20 minute drive will get you to the ancient theatre and its performances.

Villa Thaleia is surrounded by a large private garden -offering complete privacy to the estate-, filled with Mediterranean vegetation ranging from citrus trees, to herbs, spices, and home grown vegetables of all sorts just waiting to be savoured. The front-facing large patio is designed for entertainment and dinning, with large tables and chairs enjoying the shade of palm trees; while the back-facing patio and veranda lead directly to the perfectly round swimming pool, ideal for cooling off, while perhaps enjoying a glass of the local wine.

The indoors of villa Thaleia are quite unique in style, and very spacious. The two story estate boasts 2 large living rooms, 2 kitchens, 6 bedrooms with double beds (3 on each floor), 4 bathrooms, and an extra large veranda. The view from the top floor veranda overlooks almost all the gardens and swimming pool, while raising your sight will reveal the twinkling Aegean and the uniquely shaped hills of Epidaurus. The two floors are interestingly quite different in style. Classic stone and marble dominate the main living areas on the top floor, whereas lighter colours and wood prevail in the ground floor. Both floors, are wonderfully styled and especially practical, so the choice of bedroom and floor depends on your personal taste.

Villa Thaleia and its surrounding area provide an all-encompassing experience, offering a large portion of Greece's culture, history, and natural beauty, while enjoying the comfort and luxury of a marvellous traditional Greek summer villa.

Beautiful villa in great location
Villa Thalia was perfect for our multigenerational family The children adored the pool and there were lots of places to sit and relax The view from the upstairs terrace is breathtaking Being able to walk to the local beach and tavernas was a bonus with a well stocked supermarket a short drive up the hill. We visited the beaches In Epidavros as well as visited the ancient amphitheater and Mycenae an easy hours drive away All in all a perfect holiday.

September in Epidavros
We rented the full house (which is divided in two separate floors, each with 3 bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms) for the month of September. Checkin was smooth, with the owners present in person. Even at full occupancy (12 adults) the house was cosy and comfortable. During the first week of our stay, Greece was hit by unusually bad weather, with non-stop thunderstorms and heavy rain for more than 24 hours. It was rather epic. The house did not quite stand up to this assault, with 2 of the 3 upstairs bedrooms and the upstairs kitchen flooding due to leaking windows and roof. Fortunately, we had no guests at that point in time, and the caretaker of the house (Petros, thank you!) came to help us clean things up. It took several days for water and electric to return to the neighborhood, but after that everything was fine and great, with beautiful weather. We got compliments and thanks from all our guests for the beautiful house and the great location. The house was cleaned weekly, and fresh sheets and towels provided (Elvira, thank you!), so that everything was tip-top during our entire stay. Communications with the owners were timely, to the point, helpful, and friendly at all times. Thank you, Chris and Elpida! We would definitely recommend Villa Thalia for a family get-together of shorter or longer duration.

Best family holiday ever!
We had the perfect summer holiday here! The villa is amazing, peaceful, clean and so pleasant. A morning coffee in the veranda, watching the gorgeous private garden and enjoying a dip in the pool: heaven! This place is ideal for families. We were a group of 10 adults and 2 children and we were all accommodated. The kids loved the pool (of course!) and had a lot of space for their games, without disturbing the quiet members of our group who preferred a nice corner with their book. There is also a lot of room for dining at the veranda where everyone can be together and very comfortable. We were positively surprised at how cool it was inside the house, even though we visited during peak summer. There is airconditioning in all the rooms but we hardly needed to use it at all, especially on the ground floor. Beyond the amazing villa, the surrounding area also has so many things to offer. There is a lovely beach a few minutes away and then there are lots of places to visit. We felt like we are at the heart of Greece, able to explore all the wonderful things: delicious food, glorious sun, scenic walks, ancient ruins, towns, museums. Definitely visit Ancient Mycenae! We also spent a couple of afternoons in Nafplio, a walk around the old city downtown is a must and for the cherry on top, have some ice cream by the sea side. Thank you so much Alex, the manager and Elpida, the owner. You both made everything super easy!

Amazing family holiday in beautiful location
We had an amazing family holiday at Villa Thalia. We loved the house and Nea Epidaurus—all the sun, pool, sea, bars, restaurants, oranges, tomatoes and more than you can ask for! The place was just what we were after and really appreciated the attentiveness of the Villa team. We would definitely recommend a stay, and hope to visit again sometime soon! Thank you!

Eine Sommerwoche in Epidaurus
Wir haben, gemeinsam mit der Familie (mit 7 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern), eine sehr schöne Woche in der Villa verbracht. Das Haus mit seinen zwei kompletten Wohneinheiten war nahezu perfekt für uns. Jede Partei konnte ein Schlafzimmer belegen und es gab ein weiteres Zimmer, indem noch jemand hätte unterkommen können, wenn es Bedarf gegeben hätte. Der Pool wurde von unser supergerne angenommen, hatte eine perfekte Größe und wurde zum Mittelpunkt unseres Tagesablaufes. Leider fehlte eine große Palme am Grillplatz (ist im Prospekt sichtbar aber real nicht mehr vorhanden), den wir auch gerne zum gemeinsamen Essen nutzten. Dadurch fehlte Schatten, zumindest bei den extremen Temperaturen im Juli. Leider waren zwei der Schlafzimmer nicht mit Klimaanlage ausgestattet, was bei den hohen Temperaturen, insbesondere Nachts, belastend war. Ansonsten haben wir uns in dem wunderschönen und weitläufigen Haus, sowie dem Grundstück sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Hausservice war gut erreichbar und hat sofort geholfen. Fragen wurden schnell beantwortet. Positiv erwähnen möchten wir noch, dass neben Duschtüchern auch leichte Außenbadetücher bereit lagen. Insgesamt können wir das Haus sehr empfehlen!

A perfect family retreat in Greece
I had the magnificent pleasure of spending 5 weeks in Villa Thallia during this Summer. The grounds look even better in person than they do on the listing! From the beginning communication with the property manager, Alex was excellent- very prompt, warm and enthusiastic, sharing the many options for travel to and around the location and assuring me that Epidarus is a great area of Greece to spend time. Upon arrival it was clear that Villa Thallia was special- sitting in grove of trees laden with oranges, grapefruits, a cherry tree, vegetable garden with cicadas creating the dramatic soundtrack. The house itself is incredibly spacious-- two floors, two kitchens, enough space for large groups to cook and eat meals together. There are plenty of little areas to settle in and read a good book or enjoy an ouzo overlooking the Sea. And the pool is great-- bigger than it looks in the picture, and a good depth for cooling off and for children still learning to swim(it's about 4 foot deep). The grounds were well maintained by the groundskeeper, Petros who cleaned the pool regularly. The house was cleaned thoroughly every week. The owners were super quick to respond to messages and once when the A/C malfunctioned they sent over someone that fixed it within an hour. They were even able to arrange a shiatsu massage at the house for us. The surrounding area was great- 10 minute walk to the beach with many Tavernas and bars to choose from. Low key tourism, friendly people, really unspoiled. Local outings recommended are the Sunken City and The Ancient Theatre. There is a friendly small grocery store a 5 minute walk away (with great local produce) and a larger supermarket that just opened a 5 minute drive away. I cant recommend this special place more highly! We will be coming back.

Découverte du Péloponnèse dans une maison de charme !
Nous avons passé un séjour excellent dans cette maison de bord de mer proche d’Epidaure. La maison est charmante et bien adaptée pour 2 familles, très proche de la plage. La piscine était particulièrement appréciable en cette période de canicule. La localisation permet de rayonner et de découvrir quelques beaux sites touristiques. Les propriétaires sont eux aussi charmants et très attentifs et réactifs à toute question de leurs hôtes. Notre arrivée a été également très bien organisée avec beaucoup d’informations disponibles sur la maison, l’organisation pratique mais aussi les visites à faire dans la région. Nous recommandons vivement cette location et nous y retournerons avec beaucoup de plaisir ! Merci encore à Elpida et Chris de leur accueil chaleureux et de nous avoir fait découvrir le Péloponnèse.

prachtig ruim huis in Epidauros
Het is een mooi en ruim huis zeer geschikt voor twee (elkaar kennende) gezinnen gezien de indeling in twee appartementen met elk een keuken en zitkamer . De ligging is prima , op wandelafstand van de zee en strand. Het zwembad is prima, zeker voor kinderen. Er zijn grote terassen en een buitenBBQ, de tuin is een boomgaard rondom. Er zijn 5 dubbele kamers en één kleinere, eventueel voor twee kleinere kinderen. Het is ongeveer 2 uur rijden naar Athene. Wij bezochten Athene , Epidauros en Mykene - alle méér dan de moeite waard! Het is ook fijn om uit te gaan eten buiten aan de zee - er zijn verschillende restaurants. De eigenaar is bijzonder vriendelijk en verschaft prima informatie!

Large and comfortable family villa
We loved our stay at Villa Thalia. We were holidaying as 3 families and there is more than enough space to accommodate everyone without being on top of one another. The house is comfortable, safe and traditional. The owners were incredibly responsive and helpful, answering any of our queries very quickly and the couple who look after the house were also great. We loved the pool area, set amongst the orange trees, including having pool towels available for our use. Our only comment would be maybe a few more deckchairs or sun beds for relaxing as it’s so nice to spend time there. The local area was busier than we expected with probably 4 or 5 restaurants in walking distance. The local beach was also good for lazier days when we didn’t want to drive. We had lots of options for days out and enjoyed exploring the attractions and beaches a bit further afield. All in all, a fantastic holiday in a beautiful home - we loved it!

Authentic
8 adults, 4 children age 11 to 11 months staying for two weeks: the villa is spacious, ( two separated appartments) feels like your own home and the caretaker of Petras and his wife Elvira were very much appreciated.: taking care of the sparkling pool, cleaning the house once a week, watering the garden and delivering fresh oranges! The owner Chris Skindilias responded to any question or problem immediately, even late at night. we encountered an AC problem in the lower sitting room because a gecko had entered the electronic panel and shortened it, destroying one part. Instead, Chris had a new AC installed in the lower Master bedroom so the baby and parents had bearable temperatures again. (there was a heat wave during our stay) Most striking for us Europeans and Americans was the rural setting, untouched, only Greek tourists and lovely taverns at the beach with authentic food and great service. The Greek people are used to big family gatherings and were always eager to accommodate us (11) no matter how full the place was. Also: almost every person knew some English, so we (ashamed not knowing the Greek language) could easily communicate. We toured many ancient sites, watched an ancient greek drama "Prometheus bound" at the Epidaurus Amphitheater which was outstanding. At the end of every day we plunged into the pool!

gemütliche Ferien am Pool
Wir waren ende Juli mit 12 Personen in der Villa Thalia. Die Villa ist wunderschön, bietet viel Platz und man findet auch mit 12 Personen seine Ruhe. Der Pool ist schön gross und wir genossen viele Stunden darin. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte leider nur im oberen Stock, wir konnten dank den Ventilatoren die unteren Raume trotzdem gut nutzen. Die Umgebung ist schön, voller Orangenbäume. Der Strand ist aber doch mehr als 5min von der Villa entfernt und auch nicht sehr schön zum baden. Grobe Steine und durch den Hafen normal verschmutzt. Die Ausflugsziele und Buchten in der Umgebung bieten dann die schönen Strände und sind mit dem Auto bestens erreichbar. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, unkompliziert und freundlich. Danke für die schöne Woche

Beautiful house, close to beach, quiet location
We had a beautiful vacation at villa Thalia! The booking process was easy and Alex was very quick to answer all the questions and making sure we had a great time. The house is beautiful and even better than the photos. It is located in a quiet village, among orange and grapefruit trees. It is walking distance to the beautiful beach. There are few tavernas right on the beach which serve delicious greek food and the best seafood. If you’re into history there are many historical sites you can visit 1-2 hours drive from the villa.The owners of the property are very friendly and accommodating and were always there to answer our questions. I would definitely recommend villa Thalia and I’m looking forward to return for another amazing vacation.

A spacious and impressive villa with a superb 1st floor balcony looking out to sea
This is an impressive villa, with 5 large bedrooms and 1 smaller, and 3 bathrooms; for most of the time we were just 3 couples with a baby which gave us plenty of room to spread out and retain some privacy as well. The 1st floor balcony is easily its best feature, with a large table at which we sat 10 people for 2 days when our guests overlapped, and it was fine, but usually there were only 6 of us. The balcony has the dining table on one side and comfortable seating on the other, sufficient for 6, although as the villa has numerous chairs it was easy to pull a few extra out when required. We sat and ate on the balcony almost all the time, as it possesses a fabulous view across orange, grapefruit and pomegranate groves towards the sea, the view enhanced by the addition of the islands of Agistri, Aegina and others, as well as the peninsula of Methana. We were unlucky enough to encounter Medicane Zorba during our last few days, which brought cold weather and rain, forcing us indoors, but the upstairs reception room is enormous, with another huge dining table, and plenty of comfortable seating, so there was no shortage of space. We even lit a fire in the fireplace on one dismal evening which we really enjoyed. The only slight disadvantage to the villa is the kitchen which although amply equipped is rather small for a villa for up to 10 people or more. However, we took it in turns to cook and went in to Palea Epidavros for many meals so managed perfectly well. It would have helped us with the baby if there had been steps into the pool, but apart from this it is a good pool although with such a wonderful beach near by we did not use it very often. The downstairs apartment is rather darker, but our couple with baby made good use of it and enjoyed the privacy and space it offered them, as well as its french doors opening towards a little patio and the pool. I would definitely recommend the villa and all our guests agreed it was a marvellous find.

Calm and Relaxation Among the Orange Groves
Villa Thalia is everything its description promised and so much more. Well situated to easily visit Ancient Epidavros, Nafplio, Mycenae, and surrounding towns, the villa is located in the middle of several orange groves which produced a welcome calm and quiet when decompressing at the end of the day with an expansive view of the sea across the trees. There is a decent supermarket within walking distance and two amply stocked kitchens which we made good use of during our stay. Our two families - 8 people in all - used the upstairs kitchen, living room, and balcony as a shared living area and never felt cramped. The downstairs area was dark and cool - a nice respite when needed. Most importantly, Elpida and Chris were very gracious hosts, answering all of our questions readily throughout the week. As it happened, we visited during record rain for the area and as testament to our hosts' kindness, Elpida offered to extend our stay a short while as the weather was supposed to turn warm and sunny again just after we left. If we could have changed our plans, we would have taken her up on the offer enthusiastically. The downsides we encountered at the villa were minor: three bathrooms upstairs and only one down was a bit unbalanced but we dealt with it by strategically locating the family with teenage daughters upstairs; a slow-draining shower in one of the upstairs bathrooms overflowed the shower area onto the bathroom floor at one point - easily corrected. We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated all of the charm, relaxation, and amenities that Villa Thalia offered. We hope to return again some day.

Excellent house for big families or groups
We, a family of eleven from 1,5 to 72 years had a fantastic week in villa Thaleia. Apparently slightly out of season (week 42) made the experience even better. Nice warm days, good temperature in the sea and no crowds anywhere. The house was ideal for our purpose with two separate units, and the veranda upstairs is an absolutely great gathering point for the entire family. Also the service we received needs praise. Wine in the fridge and ample fruit in the baskets are just examples. When we pointed out that a high baby chair was wanted it took less than an hour before it arrived! The location is also very good: Short distance to interesting places with remains from the ancient Greece: The great theatre and temple of Asklepios, fortresses and Castles, not to mention the highlight for us: The sunken city of Ancient Epidauros. An absolutely must! Good restaurants in the harbour are only a short walk away
