Large villa with guest house ideal for families with small children with fenced pool, panoramic sea views and walking distance to traditional village
Villa Dodona is a large property set on a hillside surrounded by olive groves with a dramatic backdrop of the surrounding mountains and with sweeping views over the sea. The property comprises a four bedroom villa with a spacious guest house sleeping 2-4 guests on the lowest level.
The property is on three levels. The ground floor level has a very spacious L-shaped open plan living room with large dining area. Comfortable sofas and armchairs are positioned around an open fire-place. There are artistic touches throughout with some beautifully chosen objets d’art that blend perfectly with the homely atmosphere. Two large doors lead from this open plan space to a large, airy veranda with spacious outdoor dining area for 10 that has views right across the Gulf. A few steps down from the veranda is a very pleasant shady garden with coffee table and chairs set out under an old olive tree.
From the living room, there is a separate kitchen which is well equipped for preparing family meals. Doors lead from the kitchen out to a side garden where the barbecue is situated. On this floor, there is also a guest bedroom with double bed and en-suite bathroom with shower and WC. This bedroom also has its own private sea-facing balcony.
On the upper level are three bedrooms: The very spacious master bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom with shower and WC, and a large balcony overlooking the sea. There is a third double bedroom with separate bathroom with shower and WC. This bedroom also has its own private sea-facing balcony. The fourth bedroom has two single beds and a separate bathroom with shower and WC. This bedroom has views over the surrounding mountains.
From the kitchen garden, steps lead down to the lowest level of the villa where the guest house is situated. The entrance leads into a playroom with doors going through to a large open plan living room with two comfortable divan sofas that can be used as two single beds. At the far end of the living room is a kitchenette for preparing meals and a dining table for 4. Doors lead out from the living area to a patio overlooking the garden and pool. There is a double bedroom and en-suite bathroom with shower.
The property has a long 'kitchen' garden to one side of the villa where the barbecue area is situated. To the other side of the property and accessible from the main veranda is the second shady garden. A gate and steps lead down to the swimming pool terrace which is entirely fenced making it an ideal property for families with young children. The pool is very large (11m x 5m) with four steps into the shallow end making it ideal for children and older people to get in and out of the pool easily. There is an elegant teak deck with sun loungers and a large umbrella surrounded by lushly planted gardens.
Villa Dodona is very well located being only 500m to the nearest tavernas – the last 80 metres is an incline so guests may like to take their car to the village. This village is renowned for its excellent grilled meat tavernas in particular and Greeks will come from miles around to sample the tasty cuisine. There is also a very nice bar perched on the hillside with a bird’s eye view right over the sea.
The local Beach (Pounta), has the coveted ‘Blue Flag’ denoting the cleanest beaches of Europe, is just 2-3 mins by car or around 20-25 mins by foot. Villa Dodona is located in a traditional farming area of Greece where fruit and vegetables are cultivated in abundance.
The local town of Diakopto has some excellent shops selling local produce including meat, fish, fruit and vegetables much of which is organically produced or fished locally.
This is an area rich in culture and history - the archaeological sites of Delphi, Corinth, Mycenae and Epidavros can be visited as day trips and there are many surrounding towns and villages of interest to visit including some very picturesque mountain villages untouched by time. Kalavryta Ski Centre is about 40 mins from the villa along a spectacular road that cuts straight through a gorge. Along the seashore, there are plenty of good beaches with some excellent beach –cafes and tavernas selling freshly caught fish.
Villa Dodona would suit families or a group of friends looking for a comfortable villa to experience a more authentic side of Greek summer living with places of historical and cultural interest close by.
Please note: Prices from 18th July - 4th Sept are based on up to 12 guests and include the guest house.* For all other months, the prices are based on 8 guests - for use of the guest house, please enquire.

Eric T. arrived 5th Aug 2018
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Villa Dodona this summer.
The villas is well equipped and decorated with taste by the owners.
Recommandations from the owners for good local shops, tavernas, etc... were also helpful.
The location is a good base to explore North Peloponnese.
Thank you and the team of PGV for everything.
Best regards,
Eric T.
Jane S. arrived 15th July 2018
We had a fabulous holiday, unfortunately over too quickly. Villa Dodona was a wonderful base from which to explore the Peloponnese and we hope to one day be able to return. We found the information guide incredibly helpful and interesting, allowing us to make plans before having even arrived and helped us make the most of our stay in the area. As you have asked for any feedback, the only very small downside was the lack of comfortable chairs to go around the pool, being a group of nine. However, this would be our only small criticism. We would definitely consider booking with you again and would love to remain in touch.
Thank you to you and all your staff for your help making our holiday so enjoyable and stress-free
PGV note: Brand new and comfortable outdoor loungers have been added for the 2019 season at Villa Dodona

We had a fabulous stay at Villa Dodona. It really is a tremendous place, with a lovely pool, very good facilities and wonderful views. We also appreciated the fact that it is not in a touristy area. Dinos and Sissy were great hosts. It all went off very smoothly and our kids loved it too. We completely relaxed while there.

Hazel B. arrived 15th July 2017
A big thank you for recommending and arranging our stay at Dodona. We all loved the villa, very spacious and well-equipped with nice homely touches.
The pool was excellent, great size and the jacuzzi was a nice surprise! Needless to say, it was very well used and enjoyed by us all. The delightful Spiros couldn’t have been more helpful and please thank Vickie for all her help and for the excellent directions and notes on local amenities, shops and tavernas.
The journeys to and from Athens went very smoothly and the villa was easy to find. We visited Pounda and Corral most days, the swimming was beautiful. Matthew, Isabella and Luca had brought their snorkelling gear and had a great time snorkelling off the beaches and the rocks near the ram’s head, saw a variety of fish including wrasse, red mullet and a large octopus.
Matthew, as always when we stay somewhere with a pool, soon went in search of ‘tat’, i.e. silly inflatables, including a paddling pool which he jumped in from the side and went straight through … the ‘armchair’ and crocodile added to the fun. He’s an early riser so each day went to the village for breakfast pastries and he and Nick both cooked a lovely evening meal and lunches. Julian and I took the train which was great, very relaxing and spectacular scenery but couldn’t tempt the others away from the pool!
The villa was so peaceful and secluded and in a very nice area. We found the Greeks charming and very friendly and had lovely meals in various tavernas, including Nicky's, where we had our final meal. We loved the food and discovered the bakery that also sold ice cream and delicious little cakes!
In all, it was a great and memorable holiday and much enjoyed by us all. Unfortunately, the weather’s been rotten since we got back! What a contrast.
With love from us all and thanks again.
Hazel and Julian

Joe B. arrived 4th June 2016
We had a brilliant time, the only regret being that we didn't explore a little more instead just relaxing in the beautiful villa.
Anyway, we had a great time and please pass our thanks on to the owners who have a stunning villa and really well looked after.
They were also very patient with us as it took us nearly 5 hours to get to the Villa.
All in all it was a beautiful place, lovely standard and we all had a relaxing stay.
Many Thanks,
Joe

Samantha A. arrived 2th Sept 2014
We had a lovely stay. The villa was spacious, the owner, Sissy and her daughter made us extremely welcome on the first day, despite it being late when we arrived and had prepared an evening meal and put some snacks and drinks in the fridge for us.
The surroundings were just outstanding, beautiful views. The villa itself is beautifully done, you can see the owners have put a lot of thought and love into the design and the decorating. The people I spoke to at Pretty Greek Villas were very eager to help and pleasant.
Thank you very much for this experience
Kind regards,

Marc G. arrived 11th Aug 2013
I enjoyed a lot our stay in Greece and you have been a key element in the success of the vacation
1- The houses we rented were very properly selected by you. They were great for holidays. I do mention this point as, in the past, we rented houses in Italy with an agency that did not have the proper selection of the houses and it was disappointing
2- We have enjoyed your help to organize the holidays (book the taxi to Piraeus, rental of a car, advices of places to go) and it was great to get their very valuable help

Afra T. arrived 21th July 2013
I am very happy to share our experience of your company and the villa we stayed at.
From the beginning to the end we experienced a very warm and professional service from all at prettygreekvillas. Everyone seemed happy to help whether via email when in separate countries or mobile when we were actually in Greece. Travelling with two familes and 5 children ranging from 6-14 years we felt totally confident in arriving at the villa with the least hassle and this is exactly what happened. The owners met us at the meeting point and took us to the Villa. They were wonderfully friendly and made us feel right at home instantly. They had even bought us the basics and refused to be reimbursed which we couldnt believe. All mod cons were installed at the villa and the house was accessible for all ages, fantastically clean and modern without loosing the Greek feel and the pool was the childrens favourite place to be with comfortable reclining pool chairs and beautifully landscaped gardens.
I would definetely book with you again and encourage anyone looking for a good Greek holiday to use you.
Thank you very much
Afra
Mark T. arrived 7th July 2013

Thank you for your continued help with our holidays - we feel very lucky to have found you and Pretty Greek Villas to help us.
With kind regards
Mark
