About this villa rental
Villa "Ariadne" is a fantastic choice for families and friends who want to spend quality time together, but also value independence.
Ideally located in the quiet hills of Ververonda, the villa sits on 2.5 hectares of mostly landscaped gardens, offering privacy and space, and benefits from a mesmerising view of Porto Heli and the island of Spetses. It comprises two separate houses, which are within the same property, a minute's walk from each other.
The top-hill house has a rustic atmosphere, thanks to its wooden, hand-crafted furniture. It has two bedrooms (one with two single beds and one with a double bed). There is also a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room/dining room with a fireplace, French windows and two sofa-beds that can accommodate additional guests. At the front of the house there is a terrace furnished with a table and chairs, ideal for laid-back mornings. A small barbecue grill can be found at the back.
The poolside house has a more modern feel. The main living area consists of an open white kitchen, a living room with a dining table and - uniquely - a master bedroom. You can wake up in the morning and enjoy a beautiful view of the sea from your bed! There is also a separate bedroom with three single beds. Additional amenities include a washing machine, high speed internet, cable television and a Hi-Fi radio/CD player with an mp3/computer input that connects to the speakers in the terrace, creating a magical atmosphere, particularly at night. In the patio there is a bar, a traditional-style barbecue grill and a private swimming pool, complimented by a long table with chairs, sun loungers, a sofa and two armchairs. Guests have exclusive access to these amenities during their stay.
By car, it takes five minutes to reach the centre of Porto Heli and three minutes to reach the nearest beach.
Small pets that have received basic training and are accustomed to living indoors are welcome.
About Porto Heli:
Porto Heli has become the best kept secret of Peloponnese - a quiet village with beautiful beaches, warm waters and fresh food at every corner. Conveniently located, it is only two and a half hours by car from the Athens International Airport - Eleftherios Venizelos. It is little wonder that some of the most prominent people in Greece have built summer villas in the area.
At the same time, Porto Heli has everything visitors need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, including supermarkets, pharmacies, bars, cafés and shops that sell souvenirs and beach equipment. There are also water sports schools and an open-air cinema that shows the year's blockbusters in their original language. Any facilities not available in Porto Heli can be found in the nearby town of Kranidi (a medical centre, boutiques etc.), which is only a twenty minutes' drive.
The wider region is also wonderful to explore. Delicious seafood can be enjoyed in the village of Koilada. Visitors can explore the seaside town of Ermioni and Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece, or take a boat to the picturesque islands of Spetses, Hydra and Poros. The ancient theatre of Epidaurus, where high-quality theatre productions of ancient Greek plays are staged every summer, is another must-see.

Summary of reviewsAmazing pool, grounds, and view. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Two separate houses great for privacy. Clean interiors with working appliances. Highly recommended!

We stayed at Villa Ariadne for 10 days and had a lovely holiday. Ariadne answered all my questions in advance really quickly and was very helpful with preparing our trip and advising on places to go etc. Her parents met us there and were very friendly and answered quickly if we had any issues. The pool, the grounds and the view are amazing- even better than the pictures. Having two separate houses is a plus for a big group although we did find we all always ended up down at the pool! Inside the houses were clean and all appliances worked - would benefit by the addition of a dishwasher and a little bit of renovation (replacing the odd tile, maybe a new chopping board etc)
Overall a great place - heartily recommended! Thanks!

Because of the higher location ,there are amazing 180 degree views.In the heat of the summer there is always a wonderful breeze.The Owners are very caring and attentive to any and all the needs of the property. We have had an extended stay (2 months ) and became very fond of oour home away from home. We will be back for sure.

We were 10, and we were all impressed. The terrace , bbq (big) and swimming pool (deep) are stunning. We opened ourselves a cocktail bar next to the BBQ , which we called the black and white place. We hardly left the property. The restaurants by the end of harbour are classy and very moderately priced. We rented sailing boats and paddle boards. The beaches near Kosta are great. Madeline is delightful and every effort has been made to ensure a comfortable stay. Wifi excellent. Air conditioning , more than adequate. If your dates are available I recommend you grab this special place. Spetses is a gem , no cars are allowed there. Take water taxis to the best beaches . Very cheap.

Nous avons passé 10 jours magnifiques dans cette région de la Grèce. Les 2 maisons sont fonctionnelles et très bien pour préserver l'intimité des 2 familles. L'aménagement extérieur est extraordinaire, la piscine est immense, la terrasse magnifique et la vue à couper le souffle. Porto Heli est proche, on y trouve toutes les commodités. Nous recommandons la visite de l'île de Spetses en calèche et la plage Kaiki.
Madeleine est une propriétaire accueillante et serviable toujours soucieuse du bien-être de ses hôtes. Bref tout est réuni pour passer de très bonnes vacances.
La voiture est indispensable.
