About this property

"Stone Castle Villa" panoramic sea view, in sandy beach, near Athens

A rare Greek traditional house, full of character, with great sea views, 9 bedrooms, next to a beach, to enjoy the best Greece offers: sea and countryside + Acropolis and Athens city center, all from a most convenient base.


It is located in a place looking like a far Aegean island, feeling like you are away from it all. You can't believe this place is only 50 km from down town Athens!
Acropolis, a World Class monument, its famous new museum, all major archaeological sites, the picturesque old Plaka and the modern city are at a little more than an hours reach, along with numerous cultural and recreational possibilities.
Schinias in Marathon where villa is located, is a top rated beach of Athens, boasting more than 6 km of sandy beach, with crystal clear and mostly calm waters, and a rare cone forest reaching to the water edge!

The Villa itself, is a rare example of traditional architecture, built with stones from its own land, in an inspired 'castle like' design.
The intended abudant use of natural and low treated materials, like stone, wood and iron, create a feeling of immediacy, comfort and inner relaxation in a way that few places can do.
It is tastefully decorated in a country but luxurious manner, with antiques, hand crafted wooden and iron furniture, that invite you to unwind in casualness comfort and style.
The house is built in the gated settlement of Judges & Attorneys.
It is positioned on the cliffs, 50 meters above the sea, providing privacy, and great views to the picturesque bay underneath and the Aegean sea.

Schinias, belongs to the municipality of Marathon, where the famous ancient battle took place and where the world renowned Marathon run originates.

We had a truly wonderful week at the villa and were taken good care of by our host Michael.The villa had ample room for our group of 15 friends (many couples) both for sleeping and in general spending time inside and outside. It has a lot of character and was fun to explore. The last week of September had lovely weather, if a bit windy. We enjoyed dips in the pool and the sea (multiple great swimming spots within walking distance). We had rental cars which is definitely needed. There's a great mini market nearby, but restaurants, beaches and larger shops are driving distance.The view from the villa is unmatched, please make sure to wake up early for the sunrise at least once!

Amazing Villa

We absolutely loved staying at Stone Castle Villa! After seeing the beautiful pictures of the villa online, we decided to book it for a week and it exceeded all our expectations! Our three-generation family loved staying here!! We had plenty of room, the views are gorgeous and we really enjoyed the pool. The house had every amenity that we needed. We also liked the neighborhood. We spent time in Athens and other cities, but loved coming back to the quietness of this area after a busy day. Michael was very accommodating throughout the entire process. Michael was very easy to reach and responded quickly to any questions we had. I asked him for recommendations for a chef and a tour guide, and he gave us names for both. His recommendations were wonderful!! We cannot say enough good things about this villa and our stay in Greece! Thank you Michael for making it such a wonderful vacation for our family!!

Stone Castle Villa est une maison merveilleuse avec un charme fou et une vue exceptionnelle . Michael , son propriétaire est un hôte parfait , chaleureux et extrèmement précis et efficace dans ses recommandations.Nous étions douze de 7 à 77 ans et nous avons passé de formidables moments soit tous ensemble soit chacun tranquille dans un des recoins secrets du lieu.Parmi les avis précieux de Michael , il y a la charmante Aliki , restauratrice à Marathon , qui livre des repas délicieux si on le lui demande, viande, poisson ou légumes et tzatziki d'anthologie .Athènes est à une heure de route , d'autres lieux, archéologiques ou pas, sont plus près , tout comme de magnifiques plages de sable .On peut aussi se baigner à trois minutes à pied de la maison , accès facile sur des roches plates MAIS , chaussures en plastique , style méduses, obligatoires ... sinon gare aux oursins !!Que dire d'autre ...que nous avons eu au début de notre séjour deux jours de temps gris , certes la lumière était moins grecque mais le paysage était toujours magnifique.En quittant ce lieu béni des Dieux , nos petits enfants nous ont demandé si on y retournerait bientôt.

All eight of us had an incredible week at the stone castle villa and the Marathon area. Plenty to do, see, and enjoy. The accommodations were perfect, and Michael is a terrific and attentive host. He has all kinds of recommendations and even helped us book a last minute taxi among other vendors. We hope to be back someday!!

My family and I spent our holiday at Stone Castle Villa during week 30 of 2025. It’s a fantastic house with a beautiful and peaceful location. The owners welcomed us with traditional Greek snacks, fruit, wine, beer, soft drinks, and juice – a lovely touch after a long journey.From the very first moment, we felt at home and truly welcome in the house. The owners provide first-class service and support – something that’s essential for a successful holiday.We also received help arranging a chef who prepared a wonderful birthday dinner, and we were also introduced to the most amazing driver and guide, a former businessman with a great personality.My warmest recommendations go to Stone Castle Villa. Thank you for a perfect family holiday. Niels MollerCopenhagenDenmark

Dream come true

Our stay was incredible. I was blown away by the view and the beauty of the villa. There were 14 of us and there was above and beyond a great amount of room. I was thrilled being able to visit the country where my grandparents were born. It was truly a vacation that we will all talk about and cherish forever. The hospitality was more than we could have asked for.

Amazing Place

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The house is beautiful, built in traditional Greek architecture with lots of windows to let in the breeze. It’s perfect for relaxing, with plenty of space to hang out, a pool, and just a short walk to the beach. The beach is rocky, but the water is calm, crystal clear, and ridiculously blue. The sunrise is amazing and you can hear the cicadas as soon as the sun rises.The owner was so welcoming. He gave us a tour of the house and had fresh fruit, cold water, beer, and a traditional Greek snack waiting for us when we arrived. The hospitality was amazing.Plaka is about an hour away by car. It might sound far, but the drive is easy and scenic. There are sandy beaches close by and some great local taverns. If you are traveling with a big group, you can even arrange for a chef to cook whatever you want.And the house has an elevator! I loved everything about our stay and truly hope to come back one day. Greece is a beautiful country with kind people and unforgettable hospitality. Very impressed.

Our stay at Stone Castle Villa was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the villa’s stunning architecture and panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. The spacious terraces and multiple lounging areas allowed our group to soak in the sunrise over the water or unwind at sunset in complete privacy—truly a 5-star experience.Inside, the décor artfully blends traditional Greek character with modern comforts. The fully equipped kitchens, plush bedrooms, and airy living rooms provided both communal gathering spaces and quiet nooks for relaxation. Every detail—from the luxurious bedding to the immaculate cleanliness—exceeded our expectations and mirrored the rave reviews we’d read online.What set this villa apart was Michael, our host extraordinaire. His warm welcome made us feel like family from day one. He greeted us with refreshments, gave a thorough tour, and was always on hand—whether we needed restaurant recommendations, directions to hidden beaches, or just a friendly chat. Michael’s genuine hospitality and local insights elevated our stay from wonderful to unforgettable.The villa’s location strikes the perfect balance between serene seclusion and easy access to Athens and the Marathon area. We spent our days exploring historic sites, snorkeling off the nearby rocks, and dining at charming seaside tavernas. Returning each evening to the peaceful villa and its inviting pool was the highlight of our trip. We’ll definitely be back!

Beyond exceptional accommodation

The villa is very spacious and beautiful with a lovely terrace and pool area. It was extremely hot during our visit, so this was where we spent the majority of our time when we were at the villa. The beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning enabled us to escape the heat for a good night’s sleep.

Perfect property for large family gathering

The Stone Castle Villa was the perfect property for our large family reunion. It really is just as stunning as it looks in the photos! Well appointed and with plenty of space for our party of 18 around the pool and at meal times. There was a good mix of sun and shade which worked well with our group spanning ages 10 to 80. The outlook from the villas location is stunning. The rocky local beach is a nice spot for snorkelling. Schinias is a short drive for a sandy beach, bars/restaurants and a bit more life. Michael was the perfect host. Communication was excellent and he couldn't have been more helpful with arrangements both in advance of, and during our stay.

Quick off-season vacation

My wife and I had a wonderful time at the Stone Castle Villa. It was everything as advertised. The views of the Aegean Sea were fantastic. Michael, the Villa host, was very helpful about showing us all aspects of the Villa. The area was totally Greek. Would really recommend the local Pleasure Restaurant. Also, recommend the stay at the Villa. We hope to stay there again in the future.
