This place was hard to leave. We are still reminiscing about our stay at the villa. The hosts prepared a pdf that was beyond words and helped the ease of stay. The house easily accommodated three couples very comfortably. We appreciated the food that was here when we arrived late in the evening and had something for breakfast the next morning. The views are breathtaking and the aroma of plants and flowers mixed w the sea is unreal. We had a taxi driver recommended in the pdf and we got to know well going above and beyond. We also had the chef come and cook a gourmet meal after the marathon that was outstanding. You must come and experience this for yourself. We could talk about this place for hours

We had the most incredible stay at this amazing property and can't stop raving about how gorgeous it is - stunning architecture and design, perfect & peaceful setting with picturesque views, and truly unforgettable. The host owners are fantastic; great communication, very thorough information provided before our visit and so welcoming when we arrived.

This property is fantastic in so many ways. The kitchen is completely stocked. It is great for preparing family meals. The gas grill came with two full propane tanks. You can order your groceries, including great wine, from the My Market and they will deliver them to the house. You can walk to the beach easily and enjoy 2-3 restaurants on the beach. Socratis was an extremely kind and helpful host. We had never been to Greece before, and did not know much about how to get around. He helped us navigate Taxi's, a trip to Poseidon's temple. and investigate local wineries. If you are interested in the wineries, you have to make a reservation ahead of time. We did not get to go because there were no openings left for the week. The house has a wonderful pool to enjoy, board games, cards, and wonderful places to sit and read. The view is absolutely amazing. The bathrooms were slightly inconvenient with all the bedrooms except one having to share the upstairs bathroom. However, the house is so spectacular and the location so amazing that the bathroom situation does not ultimately matter much. If you are traveling before June, just know that some restaurants are not open yet and the water is still pretty chilly.

We all had a wonderful time at Socratis' stunning villa. There was everything we could have needed, the kitchen was so complete. Our hosts had even left us fresh vegetables and tomatoes straight from the garden. We were invited to make use of the fresh herb garden for our cooking. On top of all that, Socratis was incredibly easy to get hold of and was incredibly accommodating. All of our group had such a fantastic time we were sad to have to leave.

Socrates was brilliant at communicating over booking of his villa. It is their ancestral home and very well looked after with beautiful furnishings and gardens. The maid who came twice during the week is brilliant and ensured we had no problems. The view from the terrace is spectacular across the bay and lovely to sit on to watch the sunset. We arrived on a Sunday and as local shops were closed the owners had left us a comprehensive starter pack which was amazing! We teamed this with a trip to Athens which was also fantastic and less than an hour away. We also visited Poseidon's temple which was well worth the short drive. The local tavernas are mainly fish based- but amazing fresh fish!

Our group of 6 adults + 9 kids enjoyed a lovely week in Daskalio. The villa fulfilled and exceeded our expectations with nice and personal architecture, excellent views and a couple of good tavernas in walking distance. Our wishes regarding baby bed and high chair were considered, and the welcome was very friendly. The owner had a contact to a local chef, who then came to cook for us one night.
Villa Daskaleio can be highly recommended in all aspects.
5.0
The villa was truly stunning, with beautiful ocean views, a wonderful pool area, and lovely furnishings. The owners had thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with enough basics that we didn't even have to go out for groceries the first evening or morning in the house—made us feel so at home! The house is kept very clean and the AC made us very comfortable, even in the heat of summer. We hope to return again and again.

As stated by previous commentators, this villa is quite special. An architectonic gem from its time with many beautiful design details and quite different from other houses in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
The villa is in a beautiful setting and was perfect for our group (2 families with 3 children each). We have rented together for many years in France and Spain, and each year there is some anxiety whether the reality matches what was communicated online, but in the case of Villa Daskleio it is really as good as it sounds/looks in the reviews or even better.
Great pool area in constant use by the kids, but also very accessible and enjoyable ocean swimming via the rocky beach right below the house.
Fantastic terrace with breathtaking views great for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Overall very well equipped house. Socratis and Laertis took great care of us - we did not miss anything.
The area is quiet, but we spent most time at the house. Cap Sounio was a great excursion - try combining the visit to the temple with a beachfront lunch at the Grecotel Resort.
We would highly recommend Villa Daskleio.

It is a wonderful house with lots of space (in- and outside). A bit of 50' style - lovely decorated.
We stayed here with 3 generations (from 1 year to almost 70 years) and it was great. The pool is separated with a fence (the terrasse is a bit tricky for very young kids, but it worked well with ours) and the tennis and basketball court was great fun for young and old.
The view on the terrasse and balcony could not be better.
For nice beaches we went to the west coast (30 min drive).

The house is fantastic and the owners are most helpful and friendly. Comparing to numerous other houses we have rented in the past, the condition of the property was excellent. No broken little things or such at all.
When we arrived in the late evening, the owners had done some basic shopping for us. What a great start.
During the off-season time the village was dead, but we did not mind it at all. Instead we visited Athens. The sea is there for you to swim and snorkle. Only thing that is good to be aware of is the owners cats and dogs who visit you every now and then. We did not mind it, but I could imagine somebody could.
Distance to airport is also a benefit.
All in all the house is highly recommendable and we are considering getting back to the same house.

Wonderful villa, unique location, crystal clear sea just a few metres away.
We enjoyed a long weekend there and we can't wait to visit again.

The most wonderful, interesting villa offering all you could possibly need for a relaxing, peaceful break. We were a family of 10 from 2-83 years and would say a car is essential for sightseeing. Daskaleio is the perfect place to get away from the daily pressures and just appreciate the stunning location, great company and freshest of local produce...the delicious homemade jams and over 100 different varieties of basil growing in the garden. The most helpful of hosts...huge thanks to Liza, Sokratis and Laertes. The happiest of memories which we will hopefully relive on a return visit. Thank you

The Villa meet all the expectations we had and are even more beautiful in reality than on the pictures shown.
The house/interior is fantastic and very well planned. We were 13 persons and it never felt crowded.
The evenings we spent on the large terrace with wonderful view over the sea.
The pool area is absolutely fantastic and the garden around it as well. The kids just loved it.
The owners ,Sokratis and Laertis has been very helpful from the first request and served us with all information we asked for. Very smooth and trustful.
We also had a warm welcome from Laertis who guided us around the area/house and also served us with food,snacks and fantastic marmalade made from his mother.
We wish we could have stayed longer at Villa Daskaleio ....
We warmly recommend this wonderful place
Best wishes,
Eva with family

We had a lovely week in your elegant family home. You went to great lengths to welcome us. We had many fun hours in the pool and the view in the evenings was outstanding. A happy week, thank you.

We cannot recommend this property highly enough - we just can't fault it in anyway! The kids thought it was like something out of a movie! It was absolutely stunning and the photos don't do it justice, you cannot show the size and beauty and atmosphere in a picture, you have to see for yourself! The property was decorated very tastefully with rustic charm and had every amenity to make you feel right at home. The view was simply breathtaking, and sitting out on the veranda first thing in the morning and last thing at night would never get old, it was magical! The gardens and the pool were immaculate and very picturesque, you can tell its a home that's been cared for and loved for years.
Everything was thought of from lots of beach towels, washing powder so we didn't have to buy any for our mountains of washing (there was 11 of us) a lovely welcome pack of food, homemade pesto and delicious jams that we're still eating at home…everything was thought of to make our stay as comfortable as possible and it went a long way to making it the best holiday in years.
The booking process was so easy right from the start and there was no hassle in whatever dates required or silly questions asked; Sokratis was so friendly and answered them quickly. when we arrived nothing was too much trouble for Laertes and it was much appreciated, he made the trip so much less stressful - thank you so much for everything you did and for making our holiday such a memorable one!

Well, we needed a relaxing location break for the family to recharge together and that is exactly what we got. With adult offspring flying in from different parts of Europe, it was so easy and convenient to be able to reach the beautiful location of Villa Daskaleio. and immediately feel at home, open a Mythos and drink in the view!
Laertes greeted us warmly on our arrival, gave us a conducted tour including the extensive collection of homemade preserves and even guided us to the supermarket in Keratea.
The villa, pool, sun terrace and gardens were excellent and perfect for our needs. The information booklet was most helpful, particularly in respect of the tavernas.
Thank you, we wish we were there now!

We had a great week staying at your house. The sea scene is amazing. The photos in the web site give an excellent description of the property. We could sit the whole day long and only stare at the sea. When we arrived Sokratis brother, Laertis welcomed us. The house included everything one can think about, including all the necessary groceries for the first day. Both Sokratis and Laertis were very helpful and responsive with great travelling suggestion. The sport options like swimming in the sea or at the pool, playing basketball, tennis & table tennis even in the evening upgrade the house and our vacation. To summarize, a great vacation in a beautiful house with great hosts and high return for our money. Thank you Sokratis & Laertis for turning this week to an amazing one.
