Villa Thalia was perfect for our multigenerational family The children adored the pool and there were lots of places to sit and relax The view from the upstairs terrace is breathtaking Being able to walk to the local beach and tavernas was a bonus with a well stocked supermarket a short drive up the hill. We visited the beaches In Epidavros as well as visited the ancient amphitheater and Mycenae an easy hours drive away All in all a perfect holiday.
We had an amazing family holiday at Villa Thalia. We loved the house and Nea Epidaurus—all the sun, pool, sea, bars, restaurants, oranges, tomatoes and more than you can ask for! The place was just what we were after and really appreciated the attentiveness of the Villa team.
We would definitely recommend a stay, and hope to visit again sometime soon! Thank you!
We enjoyed the authentic greek House and the peacefullness surounded by orange trees. Lovely pool. Nice facilities in the out door area
Excellent communication with Elpida, the owner. Informative materiale send in proper time. We had an wonderfull holiday far enough from turisme but near several historical sites
Berit and family
We had the perfect summer holiday here! The villa is amazing, peaceful, clean and so pleasant. A morning coffee in the veranda, watching the gorgeous private garden and enjoying a dip in the pool: heaven! This place is ideal for families. We were a group of 10 adults and 2 children and we were all accommodated. The kids loved the pool (of course!) and had a lot of space for their games, without disturbing the quiet members of our group who preferred a nice corner with their book. There is also a lot of room for dining at the veranda where everyone can be together and very comfortable.
We were positively surprised at how cool it was inside the house, even though we visited during peak summer. There is airconditioning in all the rooms but we hardly needed to use it at all, especially on the ground floor.
Beyond the amazing villa, the surrounding area also has so many things to offer. There is a lovely beach a few minutes away and then there are lots of places to visit. We felt like we are at the heart of Greece, able to explore all the wonderful things: delicious food, glorious sun, scenic walks, ancient ruins, towns, museums. Definitely visit Ancient Mycenae! We also spent a couple of afternoons in Nafplio, a walk around the old city downtown is a must and for the cherry on top, have some ice cream by the sea side.
Thank you so much Alex, the manager and Elpida, the owner. You both made everything super easy!
We rented the full house (which is divided in two separate floors, each with 3 bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms) for the month of September. Checkin was smooth, with the owners present in person. Even at full occupancy (12 adults) the house was cosy and comfortable. During the first week of our stay, Greece was hit by unusually bad weather, with non-stop thunderstorms and heavy rain for more than 24 hours. It was rather epic. The house did not quite stand up to this assault, with 2 of the 3 upstairs bedrooms and the upstairs kitchen flooding due to leaking windows and roof. Fortunately, we had no guests at that point in time, and the caretaker of the house (Petros, thank you!) came to help us clean things up. It took several days for water and electric to return to the neighborhood, but after that everything was fine and great, with beautiful weather. We got compliments and thanks from all our guests for the beautiful house and the great location. The house was cleaned weekly, and fresh sheets and towels provided (Elvira, thank you!), so that everything was tip-top during our entire stay. Communications with the owners were timely, to the point, helpful, and friendly at all times. Thank you, Chris and Elpida! We would definitely recommend Villa Thalia for a family get-together of shorter or longer duration.
Great property. Very spacious and well maintained with all amenities. Very close to the sea, beach bars and restaurants. Great communication from booking to checkout time by owners and always on hand. Great welcome guides Pool is good. Around 1.5m deep so perfect for swimming and lounging around. Balcony terrace has incredible view and perfect for evenings. Not all 6 bedrooms have air con but nights are not that hot even in August and the provided fans were sufficient.
We were a group of two families from Canada. 4 adults and 4 kids aged from 2 to 7. This property was excellent. It was a very authentic villa with oranges growing in the property that the property manager put aside for us to juice. Many sights and towns within a short drive. Pool was great and kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves when we were there. Underwater city and beach a short drive away was a highlight. We would stay here again.

Spacious, beautiful location, friendly owners
Lovely property set amongst orange groves in quiet location. Clean & well equipped, good communication & easy handover from friendly owners.
Beach & few local restaurants within walking distance but car is a must for other locations/attractions.
Would recommend.
Our stay at Mrs Elpida's was exactly as we hoped for - relaxing amidst fruit groves, with a long view and an easy walk to the sea. The accommodations were clean and neat, and we had everything we needed to cook and care for all 7 of us, three generations of family from ages 8 to 84. The pool was perfect for the children to play and my mother to exercise, the fruits were plentiful, and the variety of beaches in the area - only 20' drive away - made every day a new pleasure. We received prompt attention from Mrs Elpida for any questions or needs we had. Thank you for the week!
The property accommodated my family of 12 well. The grandchildren were able to enoy the beach, and it was also well situated for day trips to historical sites.
We had a beautiful vacation at villa Thalia! The booking process was easy and Alex was very quick to answer all the questions and making sure we had a great time. The house is beautiful and even better than the photos. It is located in a quiet village, among orange and grapefruit trees. It is walking distance to the beautiful beach. There are few tavernas right on the beach which serve delicious greek food and the best seafood. If you’re into history there are many historical sites you can visit 1-2 hours drive from the villa.The owners of the property are very friendly and accommodating and were always there to answer our questions. I would definitely recommend villa Thalia and I’m looking forward to return for another amazing vacation.

Wonderful !!
After a very long flight, a short journey (1.5 hours) from Athens leads us to Villa Thalia in Epidaurus. A wonderful experience for a wonderful price too. A calm aura surrounded us, perfect weather, nutritious sunshine and a sea and view that left us breathless. We enjoyed our stay every moment, so did our children who left their fantasies evolve by playing in the field within the property. We tasted fresh fruit directly from the trees, we travelled a lot around (even one day trip in Athens) visiting all points of interested (unfortunately no play at the theatre due to the period but still visited the theatre). Our promise: To visit again. Thank you very much.

We loved our stay at Villa Thalia. We were holidaying as 3 families and there is more than enough space to accommodate everyone without being on top of one another. The house is comfortable, safe and traditional.
The owners were incredibly responsive and helpful, answering any of our queries very quickly and the couple who look after the house were also great.
We loved the pool area, set amongst the orange trees, including having pool towels available for our use. Our only comment would be maybe a few more deckchairs or sun beds for relaxing as it’s so nice to spend time there.
The local area was busier than we expected with probably 4 or 5 restaurants in walking distance. The local beach was also good for lazier days when we didn’t want to drive. We had lots of options for days out and enjoyed exploring the attractions and beaches a bit further afield.
All in all, a fantastic holiday in a beautiful home - we loved it!

Calm and Relaxation Among the Orange Groves
Villa Thalia is everything its description promised and so much more. Well situated to easily visit Ancient Epidavros, Nafplio, Mycenae, and surrounding towns, the villa is located in the middle of several orange groves which produced a welcome calm and quiet when decompressing at the end of the day with an expansive view of the sea across the trees. There is a decent supermarket within walking distance and two amply stocked kitchens which we made good use of during our stay. Our two families - 8 people in all - used the upstairs kitchen, living room, and balcony as a shared living area and never felt cramped. The downstairs area was dark and cool - a nice respite when needed. Most importantly, Elpida and Chris were very gracious hosts, answering all of our questions readily throughout the week. As it happened, we visited during record rain for the area and as testament to our hosts' kindness, Elpida offered to extend our stay a short while as the weather was supposed to turn warm and sunny again just after we left. If we could have changed our plans, we would have taken her up on the offer enthusiastically.
The downsides we encountered at the villa were minor: three bathrooms upstairs and only one down was a bit unbalanced but we dealt with it by strategically locating the family with teenage daughters upstairs; a slow-draining shower in one of the upstairs bathrooms overflowed the shower area onto the bathroom floor at one point - easily corrected.
We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated all of the charm, relaxation, and amenities that Villa Thalia offered. We hope to return again some day.
I had the magnificent pleasure of spending 5 weeks in Villa Thallia during this Summer. The grounds look even better in person than they do on the listing! From the beginning communication with the property manager, Alex was excellent- very prompt, warm and enthusiastic, sharing the many options for travel to and around the location and assuring me that Epidarus is a great area of Greece to spend time.
Upon arrival it was clear that Villa Thallia was special- sitting in grove of trees laden with oranges, grapefruits, a cherry tree, vegetable garden with cicadas creating the dramatic soundtrack.
The house itself is incredibly spacious-- two floors, two kitchens, enough space for large groups to cook and eat meals together. There are plenty of little areas to settle in and read a good book or enjoy an ouzo overlooking the Sea. And the pool is great-- bigger than it looks in the picture, and a good depth for cooling off and for children still learning to swim(it's about 4 foot deep). The grounds were well maintained by the groundskeeper, Petros who cleaned the pool regularly. The house was cleaned thoroughly every week. The owners were super quick to respond to messages and once when the A/C malfunctioned they sent over someone that fixed it within an hour. They were even able to arrange a shiatsu massage at the house for us.
The surrounding area was great- 10 minute walk to the beach with many Tavernas and bars to choose from. Low key tourism, friendly people, really unspoiled. Local outings recommended are the Sunken City and The Ancient Theatre. There is a friendly small grocery store a 5 minute walk away (with great local produce) and a larger supermarket that just opened a 5 minute drive away.
I cant recommend this special place more highly! We will be coming back.
Unser Aufenthalt in der Villa Thaleia war sehr erholsam. Innerhalb von 7 Minuten zu Fuß ist man am Meer. Die Villa bietet viele Zimmer, die meisten davon haben eine Klimaanlage. Auch der Pool war sehr sauber und kühl. Wir freuen uns auf nächste mal.
Wir haben, gemeinsam mit der Familie (mit 7 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern), eine sehr schöne Woche in der Villa verbracht. Das Haus mit seinen zwei kompletten Wohneinheiten war nahezu perfekt für uns. Jede Partei konnte ein Schlafzimmer belegen und es gab ein weiteres Zimmer, indem noch jemand hätte unterkommen können, wenn es Bedarf gegeben hätte. Der Pool wurde von unser supergerne angenommen, hatte eine perfekte Größe und wurde zum Mittelpunkt unseres Tagesablaufes. Leider fehlte eine große Palme am Grillplatz (ist im Prospekt sichtbar aber real nicht mehr vorhanden), den wir auch gerne zum gemeinsamen Essen nutzten. Dadurch fehlte Schatten, zumindest bei den extremen Temperaturen im Juli. Leider waren zwei der Schlafzimmer nicht mit Klimaanlage ausgestattet, was bei den hohen Temperaturen, insbesondere Nachts, belastend war. Ansonsten haben wir uns in dem wunderschönen und weitläufigen Haus, sowie dem Grundstück sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Hausservice war gut erreichbar und hat sofort geholfen. Fragen wurden schnell beantwortet. Positiv erwähnen möchten wir noch, dass neben Duschtüchern auch leichte Außenbadetücher bereit lagen. Insgesamt können wir das Haus sehr empfehlen!
