Stone Cottage With Private Pool And Sea Views On The Unspoilt Island Of Evia

It’s our third time in this villa. Wonderfully remote but still accessible to all you need. A great pool, all facilities you could want, good and reliable air con. The perfect villa for a family of 3 or 4. We had five in it and that was fine too - but it meant 3 kids sharing. I suspect we will return.

Just back from 2 weeks at Villa Semelle..Such a hidden gem! The standard was excellent.. clean, comfortable, well equipped. The pool is fantastic. The terrace a great asset. And the views are stunning.. especially at sunset.The perfect villa for a getaway and relax type holiday.. but also a great base to explore the island.Thank you to the wonderful Katarina for keeping the villa so clean, providing so many suggestions for beaches andctavernas and for a lovely evening drinking her wine. Of particular note.. the butchers and meat taverna in Nerotrivia, the baker (Katerina) in Politika, the taverna in Vlachia and the taverna and beach at Dafni (better weekdays). We also had a memorable time wandering around the promenade and town of Kalkida and can recommend the Souk restaurant.Altogether a magical stay in a very soecisl villa.

The perfect setting for slowing down and contemplating the view, every bit as perfect as the photos suggest.If you see solitude and privacy as benefits worth a bit of isolation, the Stone Cottage fits the bill.The nature pond above the swimming pool (abuzz with dragonflies) and the lavender beds alongside the frontage (abuzz with bees) demonstrate a commitment to the wider environment

We had a fabulous week at Villa Semele. The villa is beautiful, clean, spacious, well looked-after, well-equipped and we it was perfect for 5 of us. The information provided by the owner Ares was helpful. Loved the area, quiet, green, beach walking distance. Recommend highly!

Great. Calm.

We loved the cottage. It’s remote, but still kind of close to Athens. We had a very nice stay.

Had the most relaxing stay in this wonderful private villa. Highly recommend if you want peaceful surroundings and beautiful views. A car is essential if you want to visit tavernas in the surrounding area - but there is one in the local village which is about a 30 mins walk. If we had to comment on one small area for improvement it would be the seat pads and sun lounger cushions. We could only find 1 cushion for the lounger and the seat pads could do with updating as faded and a bit tatty but it's so very minor in the bigger scheme of things.

We had a great week in this nice house. We came to relax and this was the right place! We loved the pool and the view is superb!

We had such a relaxing time at Villa Semele, so relaxing that we didn't stray too far from the villa for our entire stay. The views looked amazing online but really do take your breath away, and are a perfect back drop to the wonderful pool which was both large and deep enough to suit two older teens. The villa itself is simple but elegant and has everything you might need, all to a very high standard. It's an easy drive from the airport and although there are plenty of things to do (a car is a must) with only a week's stay we tended to stay poolside and then hit the beach late afternoon. The restaurant fare is quite simple but the village taverna in Nerotrivia was lovely and the staff attentive and friendly. We definitely plan to return and explore the region a little further, and would stay at the villa again in a heartbeat. Truly fabulous!

It is truly an amazing house and the view is breathtaking, simply can’t get enough of it. Pool and all other facilities were very good. The island of Evia is so beautiful and without to many tourists. We will highly recommend this house and will definitely come back Br Mai Sørensen, Danmark
