Perfect Location
The location is on the ocean with a large pool and wonderful house. The view is spectacular. The trip time to the airport was about 40 minutes, making it a great spot for the initial or final days of vacation.
The owner communicates quickly, and the on-site caretaker is always there to help. There is a security gate.
We'll be back.

Paradise!
The home looks exactly as you see in the photos. Excellent location and view. 10 minute drive to Lavrio for nice restaurants and shops. Prices at food stores and restaurants are very reasonable in this area of Greece. The owners were lovely and very easy to communicate with. The mattresses are a bit uncomfortable but we got used to them as our stay went on. Outdoor shower and bathrooms were convenient with four adults staying in the house. Kitchen has all you need for simple breakfasts and lunch. Washing machine was a nice plus. Took advantage of the incredible view and swam in the pool daily- used the steps to walk down to the sea also a few times. Had a great trip!

Fantastic Holiday
Wonderful villa with the great views & pool.
A few minutes walk from a good taverna, not cheap but great quality.
A short drive or 30 minutes walk to the Poseidon Temple.
10 minutes drive to the town of Laurium, with good supermarkets and a large selection of restaurants.
Almost one and a half hour drive into the centre of Athens with busy traffic. One long day was enough for us to see the main sights, so we then stayed local.
Great holiday thanks to the wonderful villa and attention from the caretakers.

Beautiful Views, private acces to small beach.
The villa was in a lovely location, with beautiful views across the sea, and the pool was the best pool we've ever had at a villa, maintained daily by the caretaker. There was also on site access to a small beach area where we snorkeled. The hosts are friendly and attentive. We stayed for 7 days and really had a lovely reset. Thank you !

Absolutely perfect!
Such an amazing place! We had the best 10 days here, it was the perfect place to relax & recharge. The pool was huge and fantastic, the kids absolutely loved it. The house was just right with everything you could need, air con in the bedrooms was a fab. Location was great, super easy to get to from Athens airport and close to some fantastic restaurants and amenities as well as some brilliant beaches (although really easy access to the sea from the villa itself!)
Hosts were fab, really helpful and easy communication. Just the perfect place for the perfect holiday!

Fantastic holiday
The initial sight of the villa and grounds along with the sea view is breathtaking. Marina and Andrios, caretakers, were there to greet us and show us around. Communication with the owner is fantastic. The villa is lovely inside, all bedrooms have air conditioning and a well equipped kitchen. Plus there is a large built in barbecue and pizza oven at the rear, which was fantastic. We spent most of our time outside. There is a large covered patio area plus a first floor balcony, both with tables and gorgeous views of the sea. The pool is huge and has it's own changing rooms and toilets, along with tables and chairs, umbrellas and sunbeds. There is a wonderful sea breeze which helps to keep you cool. When we fancied a change of scene we made our way down some steps to the sea. There is a hard standing area with sunshades and chairs with metal steps to the sea for the local houses to use. We had great fun snorkeling and swimming, plus looking up at our fantastic villa. We bought swim shoes as there are sea urchins. We had an absolutely amazing holiday, best holiday ever, we loved it. So worth the 2 year delay from covid, I can't praise it enough.

Easy drive, relaxing and fun stay
My husband and I brought our four kids (6-12) for a five day vacation in the midst of our European tour, and it was perfect. My kids’ reaction to the pool (and my husbands and mine to the view) were worth the cost alone. We relaxed and enjoyed ourselves so much and two of my kids only got out of the pool because of a thunderstorm otherwise were in it from sun up to down. I enjoyed snorkeling in the clear Aegean every day. Kind caretakers, excellent communication/rapid replies from the owner, and although the house is somewhat rustic, it is meticulously cared for and spotless. A super easy 45 minute drive from the airport (no super narrow roads and not too many twists and turns). 5 mins from Poseidons temple and a little over an hour into Athens to see the acropolis and other sites. We would return in a heartbeat.

Rustic villa with fabulous outdoors space
The villa is quite rudimentary but this is more than made up for by the outdoor space which provides privacy and lots of room to enjoy the sunshine including a huge salt water swimming pool. The location is also fantastic with uninterrupted views out to sea, a taverna in walking distance and full range of shops etc. just a few minutes drive away. The owners are also super helpful, they responded positively to every query or enquiry both before and during our stay, they really made us feel welcome. Word of warning on the tennis court, it is actually just a fenced area of hard standing with a net, it’s fine for a knock up but there are no lines and the area is much to small for a court so don’t expect to be able to play a game. Overall a good value villa - super place to enjoy the beautiful climate

Family holiday in Greece
The villa has a great location: easy access from the airport and still in the countryside with its tranquility and seafront location. In the neighborhood we dined at many excellent restaurants . The unique and the world famous Temple of Poseidon is just 5 minutes drive from the villa. We drove to Athens to make some shopping and visit museums and the route was easy and took just a little ovet an hour. Thr owner was very helpful and answered immediately to us. The villa was dashing with a world-class swmming pool. We have rented villas in the Mediterranian but never had a pool like this !

Amazing Villa
Amazing Villa highly recommended.
Just recently experienced perfect family vacation at Villa Sunio. House with private pool is located on the cliff with magnificent panoramic sea view. Villa’s main advantage is huge swimming pool 20x10m with sea water, outside showers, WC and even changing rooms. House is cozy and comfortable for 5 people, equipped with all necessary for comfortable living. But we have spent almost all the time outside enjoying sea view or swimming in the pool. Sea is easily accessible from the territory by the staircase. No sand beach, but coast territory is private with minimum people and equipped with all necessary, like benches, shower and even snorkeling equipment. Kind and polite staff lived in neighborhood and was always ready to assist.
Villa is located in 1 hour ride from Athens and we managed to have 4 trips in 15 days. Also there is some memorable sightseeing in close distance, for example Poseidon temple, ancient Thorikos amphitheater or National Park.
Currently whole family is experiencing pleasant nostalgia:)
Honestly I’d strongly recommend Villa Sunio for families, who are looking for unforgettable vacation near Athens.

Family vacation near Sounio
Overall this is a lovely, and very large property. The pool is amazing and the outdoor entertainment space is very large (eating, tennis, access to beach). It is less than an hour easy drive from Athens. The roads seemed quite quiet and no one really drives all that fast. Next door are a couple who help look after things if there are any problems, which is very helpful. A few quite nice tavernas are all within a very short driving distance (5-10 mins max) and also big supermarket in under 10 mins drive. The only downsides: 1. We stayed mid April, and for me the pool was too cold at this time(but that is my choice to come at this time of year, so not a fault of the property), I imagine in the summer the pool is a lovely temperature. 2. The shower is quite disappointing (small , and you really need 3 hands - to hold the shower and peel the shower curtain off you). Again, maybe in the summer the outdoor showers (which look very nice) are fine for this purpose. 3. A small thing, but worth noting given the stair case does not have hand rails it would not be appropriate for very young children. It was fine for our kids but a few years ago that could have caused us a problem. Overall, it is a lovely property and worth noting the owner was very friendly and responsive to all my questions before and during the stay.

The most beautiful place we have ever seen
I just cannot express myself enough as soon as we arrived we immediately realized the magnificence of this place. My wife and I could not believe our own eyes it is the most beautiful place we have ever seen. When we arrived, the owner was waiting on us he was very accommodating and explained the history of the property with a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean Sea. Great restaurants and shops five minutes away with friendly people at every place visited. We could not have ask for a more perfect vacation and we defiantly will go back again next year.

A slice of Paradise!
My family of 6 just spent an absolutely wonderful week at Villa Sounio. I would not have changed a thing. The view, the weather, the history, the area, the food, the people, the owners, and the caretakers of the property. We felt like we were staying with family (family that we like). The house is stunning and the views are simply breathtaking. Although we had several days with planned activities, we also spent several quiet days just enjoying the pool, the view, the semi private lake access. One of the owners, Alex helped us many times with ordering food, recommending restaurants and even dealing with the rental car company when our car broke down. Adonis, who is one of the property caretaker, drove us over an hour to the port to catch our ferry when the rental car broke down and also picked us up again.
The area provides for easy access to restaurants, bakeries, ports for renting or chartering boats, simple shopping a and the the Temple of Poseidon (which is stunning). The area is also not too far from visiting Athens or catching the ferry to one of the Islands (Hydra is a must see).
Reading the other reviews, it is clear that we are not the only ones with these opinions. I cannot compliment this Villa and the owners enough. We certainly hope to come back. Thank you for everything.

Fantastic pool, outdoor space and views
We stayed a week in the villa and had a fabulously relaxing time. The villa is really all about the outdoor space - which is hard to fault. The kids (11&9) were amply entertained by the pool, diving board and popping down for a dip in the sea (with us!). The house is well equipped though quite functional but is comfortable and with charm. Bathrooms fine, but perhaps a little outdated. We appreciated the provision of washing up detergents etc along with basic kitchen ingredients - not that we did much cooking. Good tavernas close by and decent supermarkets in Lavrio along with proximity to Athens and local sights make this a nice easy holiday. On site caretakers Antoni and Miranda are lovely, helpful and unobtrusive and we communicated v well mainly in sign language! We also met one of the owners who is clearly passionate about the work they have done to revive this old house. One final note, the directions when you receive them seem a little vague (series of maps and sat nav/street view pictures) but work perfectly! We hope to return ...
