Sounio Villa - Stunning Athenian Riviera

This was a Fantastic Property. It was like staying in a Royal Castle, the views were beautiful. We really appreciate Beth and Zoey

Our entire stay was magical. The place is so beautiful and obviously loved by its owners that it’s a pleasure to be there.The pool itself is ideal for the days when you just want to sit in a great place and enjoy life. Highly recommended for families and people who appreciate the times of life that truly matter.

Owner was great to work with, very good communications. Property was as good as advertised! The pool area is resort class.

We booked with Nikos, who’s speed of communication is exemplary, for a two week family holiday; based on the description and previous reviews. A family of 5 with children’s ages of 13, 15 & 17, we are classified as 4 adults and 1 child, the villa is described as sleeps 9, with 4 bathrooms. We were quite shocked that on arrival (slightly late due to SwissAir), and during the villa handover with Nikos parents (lovely couple), that the two girls were instructed they would have to share a bed, also that the adults and girls share a shower; our son took the top floor en-suite room, the third shower is outside and fourth is an optional extra. When I communicated this to Nikos, the reply was additional bedroom/bathroom is available at an extra pp/night. This is not how the villa is advertised or the terms we booked. That said and to be fair and balanced I will review the villa as a beautiful house with exceptional poolside area, fully self contained. The beach and local shops are all very close by, villa is actually in Legrena not Sounio, car hire is not essential but recommend (Morphis Athens were great). The villa is a home from home, which is both a positive and negative, herbs available for cooking but medicines and cosmetics on display could be a problem for younger visitors. The house is large, very well presented and has everything you require for day to day needs. Space for unpacking is limited due the the owners possessions taking priority. The pool & pool-house do deserve additional mention, as they are the main attractions to the villa, cleanliness of the pool and water quality are 100%, the gardener does a wonderful job. In summary a very nice holiday rental villa, but advertised and costed as sleeps 9 is "economical with the actualité ".
