Villa Emmelia with its painting-like and breathtaking view of a serene part of Aegean, the South Gulf of Evia (or Euboea) is located on the Island of Evia, the second biggest in Greece, 1h from Athens. It’s a hillside Villa, surrounded with olive trees and only 5min drive from Eretria town, the shops, the ancient sights and the beach. So close to almost everywhere but yet so private.
Villa Emmelia is a full-package experience, whether you like landscape diversity; beaches, mountains, ancient sights, cosmopolitan atmosphere, night life, or you just want to relax reading a book, having a drink under the stars, enjoying the sun, spoiling yourself poolside and being enchanted by the unique view in the comfort of your privacy in modern facilities.

The Villa combines functionality and harmony. It spreads in two levels, but due to the sloping terrain, both levels are “competing” for the scenic view. Including the independent Guest House it can easily accommodate 10 guests.

Visible from the villa, is Holy Trinity, a small private island in the shape of a guitar. Thinking it was karmic, the legendary Beatles were excited and wanted to buy it when they visited it in 1967. At the time Holy Trinity had many world famous guests.
A must visit for its natural beauty is the neighboring Island of Dreams, connected to Eretria with a small walk-bridge.

Our dream summer vacation! This villa is incredible, somehow even better than the photos! It’s at a peaceful hill, no neighbors to disturb your relaxing hours, surrounded by an amazing landscape.
It’s a high standard and perfectly maintained villa, the view is stunning day and night, the pool is awesome, the pool area is big and we liked it so much that we didn’t leave the villa that often.
Every little detail that can make your vacation perfect was thought of by Gina and we had everything we wanted! She made us feel like home, she was so attentive and caring about any question that we had.
We loved every second in this villa, we can’t wait to visit it again next summer!
