Michael, the host, was outstanding! He helped with directions to the villa, was there to greet us (even though we were late), and provided us with recommendations for eating, transportation, and sightseeing. He was always available through text for anything we needed. The home itself is one of a kind! The stonework is gorgeous, the layout and location great! The Villa is actually two almost identical homes connected by a covered porch and pool, with a separate guest house …. Plenty of room for family and friends! Anything you could possibly want is included in the Villa …. huge tables, MANY outdoor lounges, chairs, beach towels. It was truly a great place to unwind and enjoy our first time in Greece. We spent two weeks there in early June, and the weather was delightful, with a constant breeze throughout the day and evening … no need for air conditioning, although it is available in the bedrooms. Marathon beach was nearby, with delightful places to eat right on the beach! A small food purchase actually comes with shaded lounge chairs to spend a delightful afternoon by the sea! Of course, there are several other beaches within 5 minutes to also enjoy. Since we spent two weeks there, the Villa was cleaned between weeks, and they, too, did an outstanding job! The washer provided was a great bonus! It is hard to put into words how much we enjoyed our stay! Next time we may stay for a month!

Beautiful villa overlooking the sea with magnificent views from multiple locations. Our family of 19 had an amazing time at the villa. Would definitely return another visit.

Highly recommend this gorgeous villa!

The Stone Castle Villa is phenomenal and Michael is an amazing host. The villa is in a quiet area of Marathon but convenient to Athens and numerous other points of interest. We highly recommend staying here!

Eleven of us stayed her for five nights. It was everything we hoped it would be and much more. There was plenty of room for all of us. Everything was as described. The views of the Aegean Sea are amazing. The pool was lovely. The neighborhood is quiet and serene. It's an easy drive from the airport, but you do need a car as it is somewhat remote. The host, Michael, was so gracious and helpful. We were celebrating my 50th birthday, and I couldn't have asked for more. I highly recommend this property for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I hope to come back again someday.

What a great four generation family trip at the Stone Castle Villa!! It was perfect for both young and old with all the space and amenities. Michael was an amazing host and connected us with local restaurants, travel guides and tours. We will never forget our trip to your beautiful home and Greece!

this villa was better than I could possibly have expected. the host couldn't have been more helpful and our 2 weeks was a little piece of heaven.

The verbo listing was inviting enough for us to commit a year in advance and we were certainly not disappointed. Communication with the host was clear, quick, and helpful.

We were a party of four families; 8 adults and 10 teens/children. We had the most wonderful week in the lovely Stone Castle Villa. It exceeded our expectations by far! The view of the ocean from practically all rooms and patios is spectacular. Beyond the beautiful, spacious and homey house we also got to experience a five star host in Michael. He is attentive, kind and very service minded. Any and all requests we had, Michael fulfilled. The location of the villa is perfect; a couple of minutes by foot to take a morning dip in the blue ocean, and a few minutes drive to a beautiful sandy beach and some nice taverns serving tasty Greek food. We can highly recommend staying in the Stone Castle Villa, and hope to come back soon.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and enjoy the area. Stunning views and lots of space inside, the villa is a beautiful place to relax. Michael was a great host as well and gave us all the info we needed from the outset to make the most of the local area!

House was everything that it promised to be and Michael was indeed exceptional host with great communication skills and he also shared lots of nice tips about the area. We had 15 people between 5-65 and everyone had great time. You won't be dissapointed if you end up renting this house for your Greek vacation. We also had private chef (from vhef Nicolas) for one dinner, whose info we got from Michael and I can warmly recommend also his services.

This house can comfortably accommodate six couples and three to four children depending on their ages. The owner is wonderful to work with and helped us tremendously to find local resources for shopping and to make arrangements for transportation in the area. If you are looking for a villa with beautiful views where you can comfortably relax with family and friends, this is the perfect place.. There are beach facilities and restaurants about a 15 minutes drive away.

Thank you Michael, the house and your hospitality was excellent, I couldn’t ask for anything to be more perfect !

We had a wonderful experience in the Stone Castle Villa. I would recommend staying here to anyone traveling to Athens.

Perfect for relaxing in a larger group. Michael is a great host that greets and spoils you. Make sure to have a chat with him and hear of his villa and its history.

We had a Keto Mediterranean retreat at the villa and everything was more than perfect! If you know the area, and don’t mind being remotely located, this is the only place you want to stay at! Michalis is a perfect host and I look forward to seeing him again next year!!!

We had such a wonderful stay at Stone Castle Villa. It was everything we hoped for and more. This was our 25th wedding anniversary trip with a vow renewal ceremony. It was originally planned for June of 2020 but COVID-19 restrictions had other plans. We worked with Michael to reschedule it to September of 2021 and it was even more magical. The villa is gorgeous and spacious. There were 14 of us there. The two separate kitchens, spacious living areas and beautiful outdoor patios gave us plenty of room for our friends and family. Most of the rooms have balconies overlooking the sea. We saw some spectacular sunrises from those balconies. We were supposed to have the ceremony outside by the pool but the weather turned windy and cooler that day so we moved it inside to the living area, lit candles all around and it was beautiful. The two large completely separate kitchens allowed us to have the meal after the ceremony catered at the villa. It felt like a second wedding. Michael helped us find an excellent chef to prepare the meal. We also had the chef prepare another meal there for a birthday celebration for one of our friends. Michael introduced us to a great tour guide who helped us coordinate some tours in area. I wish we lived closer to Greece so we could visit Stone Castle Villa every year.

Michael was an excellent host, always available to help and make suggestions. The property is in a fabulous position for swimming from the rocks and a beautiful sandy beach. The views are stunning; and the best holiday beds we’ve ever had.

Our stay at Stone Castle exceeded our wildest expectations. The property is unique and amazing. Views, rooms, location, atmosphere. We stayed with a group of 13, 6 adults and 7 adult children - all of us were so sad to leave the villa. Our host Michael could not be better. Communication, recommendations, help - best host we have ever had. If there is any chance we for sure go back. All of us had an amazing week !!!

We were a big family (3 generations) spending a weeks holiday together. The big Villa with all Its comfortable furnishings, cosy courtyard with pool and amazing sea view was a relaxing setting for everybody. We enjoyed going to the beach near by, snorkling off the rocks below the villa and spending a day taking in all the sights of Athens. Michael is a super host, very friendly and helpful with all our requests and needs during the week.

Our weeks stay has been fabulous! The property is spacious, clean, tidy and in the perfect spot overlooking the sea. It is great for families holidaying together as there is space to cook and eat together but also lots of terraces and rooms to get some quiet time - if needed! The area is quiet and it's not too far to visit places of interest and some breathtaking beaches. Local highlights were a trip to Athens, watching the sunset near Poseidon's Temple and lunch overlooking Marathon Reservoir. From our first communication with Michael he has been a great host, very welcoming and helping us to make the most of our stay - thank you!

We had four generations staying on a so called Familymoon after son’s wedding in the UK. The villa was everything in the pictures and more! It was spacious, clean and well equipped with all the necessities such as plenty of towels and both kitchens were well stocked to cope with large family meals. There were plenty of break out areas and balconies to enjoy quiet time to enjoy the breath taking views. Michael, our host, was charming and full of information and suggestions for day trips. Although a car is necessary to get around, there are plenty of lovely walks around the villa. We had a wonderful time and will certainly recommend the Villa.

My husband and I booked a week at Stone Castle Villa for our 25th wedding anniversary and invited 15 friends to join us. Michael, our host, was so accommodating. He recommended HP Tours to coordinate all of the airport arrival pick ups and for our tours. All of our guests were met individually inside the airport and brought to the villa via private Mercedes. The tours were top notch and included an English speaking tour guide who happened to be an archeologist! The villa itself is breathtaking. It accommodated all 17 people without feeling crowded. The internet service was great. There were plenty of beach towels which we used around the pool and actually took with us one day when we went to the sandy beach close to the villa (about a 5 minute drive). There is a washing machine which came in very handy as some of us went on a cruise after our week at the villa. It was nice to bring clean clothes along. Michael stayed in touch throughout the week, ensuring that we had everything we needed. We had asked Michael to secure a couple of guitars for us and he ended up buying them. We used them every evening sitting around playing, singing and watching the sun set over the Aegean Sea. Both kitchens are well equipped. We cooked breakfast every morning and had a private chef (which Michael recommended) for a few of the nights. On the last night, we went to a local restaurant that we spoke with earlier that week. The name is Paradise and the wife speaks English. They cooked us a lamb on the grill. It was a wonderful experience and the owner actually drove a few of our guests home so that we didn’t need to make multiple trips with our one car. Michael also recommended a company that came and did massages for our guests out on the many private balconies one day. We have used Homeaway many times and I must say that this villa and our host, Michael are the best overall experience so far. I highly recommend Michael and Stone Castle Villa. We hope someday to visit and stay at the villa again!

So much kindness and care and attention to detail in this beautiful villa! We had gathered for a long planned group vacation, and this is truly one of the loveliest places I have ever seen. Our host Michael was kind, helpful, and so incredibly generous. I cannot wait to come back!

The listing description was accurate. The property was clean and well maintained. The Owner efficient and friendly. We strongly recommend this property. We were there a week. We ate out, hired a local cook and cooked ourselves - all satisfactory, the 2 kitchens were well stocked. We were a large family group of 3 generations and liked being able to all eat together at one table by the pool, a good pool well provided with sun loungers. Some of us visited Athens, which was easily done. We swam off the local rocks and from the beach in walking distance as well as in the pool and the children were able to kick and bowl balls. We all thought it had been an excellent holiday and have no criticisms.

The villa is as described with all the amenities. The villa's two kitchens were well stocked. The owner, Michael, was gracious and met with us on the first day. He was always available to us but not intrusive. The layout of the two homes along with the communal spaces made it easy to have a larger group, but also provide for individual privacy. We had an impromptu family barbeque reunion one day with our Greek and American cousins. The setting of the villa will be a part of all our memories for life! We highly recommend this villa and we plan to return in the future!

Wonderful experience.
