Stargazer villa is built on the
top of the hill of Schinias, overlooking the plain of Marathon.
For those history buffs, this is the area where
the famous "Battle of Marathon" took place during the Persian wars
in the 400s BC.
The entire villa has 550
sq m (about 4500 sq ft) of living space in addition to over 250
sq m of balconies and porticos. The gas grill BBQ area is perched
in the corner of the back yard, with its fruit trees rock garden and wild vegetation.
"It took us years to decide
where to build our villa. We would come up to the hill during the
sunset or sunrise and enjoy the serenity and beauty of the Aegean
in the south and the mountains in the north. Sometimes, we would
come up here to watch the full moon rising over the island of Evia,
with the vast expanse of the Aegean simmering in the moonlight,
the infinite number of lights from all the towns around the area
in the distance, all draped with the incredible Greek sky and the
zillion of stars! The feeling of peace and beauty of the area convinced
us to build here. We have built a home that takes advantage of
all the incredible views that the area has to offer. The villa's
architecture is elegant and efficient. The Doric style columns
that drape the balconies are a reminder of the history that the
land and the plains of Marathon have to offer.
We were right! All of our
guests have told us the same thing. They keep telling us that the
pictures and descriptions are not good enough for what they find
when they get here. Some of them come with ideas of driving around
and eating out every night, to find themselves in a hurry to get
back here and enjoy the veranda and the sunset instead! The Aegean
coast is a short three minute drive down the hill, or a 15 minute
walk.
We have tried to give you
an idea of what it is like through some of our pictures. If you
need more proof, we can provide you with the contact information
of some of our guests for you to talk to, or you can read their
comments in the guest section of our web site. "
The villa
