This part of Greece is beautiful and Stoupa is a great place to stay. Minas Villa is in a very convenient location close to the quieter south end of Stoupa but even walking to the northern area and beaches was no issue even in August. Stoupa is now very popular with all nationalities and particularly the Greeks which means the beaches, bars and restaurants are very busy during the high season. The accommodation on the first floor level was adequate for our family of 9 comprising 5 adults and 4 children under 7. It has a lot of potential to improve the comfort and facilities. The 4 ensuite bedrooms are a reasonable size but not everything works and showers are all hand-held. We all found the beds to be particularly hard. The kitchen is basic but adequate but the fridge struggled to maintain a reasonable temperature to keep perishable food fresh. There was a shortage of decent glasses and cutlery. The room on the ground floor is more like a store room. The decor throughout is showing its age and the whole villa needs lots of maintenance to replace broken lights, sockets, etc, and refresh the paintwork. Don't let all this put you off though, unless you are looking for 5 star pristine accommodation. It all leads to a relaxing stay as you don't need to worry to much about damaging anything. The cost of the villa is very reasonable, even in the high season. The owner, Minas, was extremely helpful when the broadband system went down and got us all back on line after a couple of days without wifi/internet. Would we go back? If we had all the kids again, possibly yes, but for adults only not until the villa has a make-over, and not during late July to early September.

Nära stranden och restauranger. AC i alla rum och gigantisk balkong.

My family and I had a wonderful stay in Minas Villa. We were a group of 7 adults and 2 children and the space was perfect for us. We liked that we each had our own bathroom which made getting ready a breeze. The wrap around balcony provided spectacular views of the mountains and a little bit of the ocean. I would definitely stay here again.

We are a big family (two kids age 6 and 9, and six adults at most) staying in Minas Villa for twelve days in October 2017. The house was spacious and nice, and fitted our requirement about living right in Stoupa town perfectly! It is literally two minutes walk and you are standing in the middle of the beach in Stoupa where all the restaurants and everything is located. We also loved the balcony that stretches all the way around the house, offering a place for breakfast and coffee in or out of the sun to suit everyone's preferences. The house was very clean and tidy, and we liked the rustic interior decor. If you are looking for a house with a nice garden with sun beds to spend time in during the day, then Minas Villa might not serve your needs. The same goes for if you prefer a completely new and very modern "finish" to your house. This is more traditional. Stoupa, and Minas Villa if we are a big travel company, is a place I hope I will return to some day!

Wir haben hier 10 Tage gewohnt, Großfamilie (6 Erwachsene, 2 Kleinkinder). Es war ideal für uns: Vier schöne große Schlafzimmer (alle mit Bad und WC), ganz großer Aufenthaltsraum (riesige Sofaecke, 2 lange Tische, bestens eingerichtete Küchenzeile mit viel Ablage, Geschirr, Spülmaschine, Kühlschrank etc.), rundum laufender Balkon (Türen zu jedem Raum), sodass man die Sonnen-/Schattenseite wählen kann. Alles im oberen Geschoß. Im EG ein Abstellraum (mit Dusche und WC), gut für Kinderwagen, Spielzeug etc. - Im EG ist sonst noch eine Wohnung (separater Eingang), die aber nicht benutzt war. - Wir geben für unsere Wohnung die Bestnote. Dazu passt auch, dass der Vermieter, Herr Orfanos Minas, unsere Wünsche prompt erfüllt hat (Klappbett für Kleinkind, Hochstuhl, neue Kaffeemaschine) und auch nicht moniert hat, dass mir der Haustürschlüssel abgebrochen ist. Auch Nebenkosten (Strom) wurden nicht verlangt. Die Lage des Hauses ist in Stoupa bestens: Die Sandstrände und Lokale sind ganz nah, auf der kleinen Straße vor dem Haus passieren wenige Autos, es ist ruhig (nur abends Musik von einer Disko, weiter weg, nicht laut), Bäckerei und großer Supermarkt (gut 10 min zufuß) sind am Ort. Kultur und Wanderungen: Ein großartiges Gebiet wenn man ein Auto hat. Ganz nah das Bergdorf Kastania (9 Kirchen, darunter voll ausgemalte byzantinische). Oder die Wanderung von Exochori nach Tseria.

Location of property was good, but the property itself was very basic and well overdue a lick of paint. Very tired and shabby in a lot of areas, both inside and out.

This is a long overdue review of the villa we rented in Stupa last year. First of all we would like to thank Minas and Angeliki for their wonderful hospitality. The villa was perfect for us. We are an adult group of “type A” personalities, and we were able to maintain our individual privacy, while still feeling the group was totally together when we chose to be. This is no easy feat for my family. The accommodation that gave each of us a private bathroom and complete access to the wonderful balcony with great views from the mountains to the sea from every bedroom was great for the early riser to the lazy late sleepers. Both a sunrise and sunset was never in question. The proximity to the beach, local restaurants and stores was perfect for a comfortable walk. Our evening at the Orfanos’ restaurant (The Orato) will never be forgotten. It was absolutely wonderful! I could go on and on. The only complaint we all had was that our 2 week stay wasn’t long enough. It’s the very first time I was not ready to go home when our stay came to an end. We already have a goal of going back in 2018. Thanks again Minas & Angeliki! We hope to see you next year the only difference is we’re going to try a 3 week stay!

Have no words but the best to describe this unique villa! The owners are architects and the villa is well planned: spacious, bright rooms with loads of air. Long balcony around the second floor: our baby used to ride the mini scooter and play there all day long. The bedrooms are with big windows and you can enjoy the views: the church and the mountains, the sunsets... Apart of 4 bedrooms on upper floor, there's one smaller one at the ground floor: a nice room for elder people or for nanny. There's a pleasant patio with grill to cook and eat outdoors. The villa is very well located in Stoupa, close to restaurants - but away from it's noise, really 1-2 minute to the main beach and few steps to Halikoura (the smaller pebble beach). Perhaps 15 min walk to famous Kalogria. It's on a quiet road, so we slept perfectly. The supermarkets and the shops are within 5-10 min. Also the coastal bike path to Agios Nikolaos starts near Minas villa. The mountain water source is right at the door. The house is well equiped, enormously big kitchen with all needed utilities. The owners, Minas and Aggeliki, are great: always friendly, they showed us few sightseeings around Stoupa. They also run the restaurant Orato Village - one of our best experiences ever. Be sure not to miss it! I cannot imagine better place to stay in Stoupa or elsewhere!
