Our visit in July 2023

The house and the gardens including the pool were beautiful. Rooms are big and comfortable. The cook Lida was great and we enjoyed the food. The cleaning lady and the Fatmir took care of us. There are two things that needs urgent improvement: 1. air conditions in every room . The bedrooms in the “ house keeper flat and in the public places including the kitchen didn’t have one. 2. There are many wasps in the garden and pool. It made staying outside not always comfortable.

Misrepresented, not the luxury estate it wants to be

Unfortunately, the property did not live up to our expectations based on the description in the listing. Listing says, “Elegant country living”: The furniture was shabby, beds uncomfortable and air conditioning inadequate. The kitech was grungy and ant-ridden, and feral cats would sneak in at night and rummage through the trash. Four coffee machines, three were broken and the fourth barely worked. Main fridge had no handle and dripped water all over the floor, creating a messy, dangerous situation. Listing says, “Easily accessible”: This is simply not true. The road approaching the estate is extremely challenging with steep inclines on an uneven and unstable rocky, gravelly surface. Without 4WD vehicles, we found the only way to ensure getting up the hill was at speeds that did not feel safe given the rockiness and pitted surface of the road, or the narrowness of the road, with sheer drops to a gorge below at several points. Our elderly guests felt very unsafe on this road and this limited their desire to leave the estate once arrived. Listing says, ”Our professional staff”: We tried to address some of the above concerns with the groundskeeper, but he was unable to help. The property owner is dismissive of our concerns and suggested the problem was us, that we don't understand a property like this. All in all, not worth the price.

Semaine extraordinaire en famille

Nous avons passé une semaine magnifique dans cette immense maison. En dehors du chemin d'accès qui nous a un peu surpris la première fois, tout était parfait. Les terrasses avec les vues dégagées sur les montagnes, la forêt, les animaux, la piscine, immense, au milieu de cette nature. Même à 21, chacun avait son espace et sa place pour s'isoler et se reposer. Monika et Lida ont participé à ces moments magiques en gérant avec beaucoup de bienveillance, d'attention et de sourires, nos repas et beaucoup de choses dans la maison. La région, que nous connaissions, est toujours aussi belle et sauvage. Tout cela a participé à rendre cette semaine inoubliable! Merci encore!! 👏👏

Séjour de rêve

Nous avons énormément apprécié cette bâtisse élégante implantée dans un environnement de toute beauté au milieu des oliviers , de chevaux sauvages, un enchantement. Nous avons utilisé les services de cuisine de Monika et Helen qui nous ont régalé avec les spécialités locales toujours avec le sourire et le sens du service. Basil, le frère du propriétaire nous a donné des renseignements sur les sites intéressants à visiter. Monika nous a recommandé un groupe de musique grecque que nous a régalé aussi avec l apprentissage de la danse grecque. Une guide francophone Katerina Dize que nous avons identifié via internet nous a introduit à l histoire d Epidaure,Mycenes et Nauplie de façon très intéressante. Un séjour inoubliable ….on vous le recommande

Luxury villa perfect for family holiday

We loved staying at this beautiful place for a relaxing holiday. The house feels new and very well maintained with the pool being the highlight of course. We absolutely enjoyed having the wonderful Monica and Alina cooking for us for the entire stay which was a great treat and made our vacation a real holiday (the moussaka is highly recommended!). The villa is very secluded in the heart of a huge estate so it takes a good 10 minutes on a bumpy dirt road to leave the place and another 10 minutes drive to the nearest village but the Hellas beach is well worth the drive. We highly recommend the place and would definitely love to go back!

Luxory and privacy

This is indeed a magnificent property amidst a large, well-kept estate. You see only mountains and olives in a 360 panoramic vista. The house is big, the rooms are large, the decor pleasant, the furnishing comfortable, the large pool fantastic for swimming and playing. We were a large group: 8 children (5-11 years) and 11 adults and we diodn't feel at all cramped and we all had plenty of privacy as well as opportunity to be all together. Access to the property is a short drive on a narrow mountain road and within 10-15 minutes you can be in Ancient Epidavros for boating, swimming, shopping etc. But who wants to leave, actually? On the estate you can go for walks and find magnificent vistas over the bay and islands; you can watch farm animals and you can relax in the privacy of the house and the pool. And at night the sky sparkles and you can see the Milky Way. MIld, warm nights, with a little breeze to cool off the heat of the day -- and not mosquitoes or other bugs to bother. Skinny dipping in the pool at dawn or at night. Pure delight. We did a few excursions -- Mycanae and Nafplion are very close and well worth a visit. Seeing a show int eh Ancient theatre of Epidavros is also a lifetime experience. Boating is of course a must if you are near the sea in Greece! And we had a fantastic day out on a boat to uninhabited islands and beaches with a great bbq lunch with Yakoumis Yachting from Ancient Epidavros port. We received excellent instructions for arrival from Athens airport from Demetrie. All of use arrived without any hassle -- in four different groups, some after dark, quite late. One of the best things was Monika, the housekeeper. She is fantastic. Cheerful, an excellent cook, a fountain of knowledge about everything you might need and extremely willing and helpful. We celebrated my 60th birthday there with a dinner -- with 4 more adults joining -- and Monika and her assistant made the most beautiful arrangement / dinner table and cooked up a veritable feast: lamb, chicken, vegetables, mustard potato, salad, and God knows what else. All wonderfully tasty and traditional Greek. She also prepared breakfast (with delicious fresh orange juice from local orchids which the kids announced to be their favourite appetizer) and dinner every day with leftovers for lunch. It was fantastic to have a week without having to do much in the kitchen! In short, do NOT hesitate to book Monika's services. You won't regret it! 5+ stars overall.

Ah-maze-ing!

Simply put, this property and staff are absolutely amazing and are in a gorgeous setting! We stayed as a large family group - 5 adult couples and 7 children traveling from 3 different countries - and could not have had a better experience. We hired sweet Monikka (the cook) which was an excellent choice as she did all our grocery shopping as well as making breakfast and dinner each day. The food was very tasty! The house is spacious and clean with a large outdoor stone patio that we pretty much lived on while we were there! The pool is larger than it appears in pictures and everyone enjoyed it each evening after our days' adventures. We all had rental cars and traveled to local sites each day for brief explorations. We especially enjoyed trips to Nafplia (hiking the old fortress), Tolo beach (great beach for kids), and the boat cruise to 2 local islands from Tolo. The house is WAY out in the country and we felt completely safe during our time. The owner responded quickly to any questions and was very easy to work with - we would definitely stay here again! It was a delight!

Un séjour mémorable dans une propriété exceptionnellement belle

J'ai choisi cet endroit pour fêter mes 50 ans et je ne le regrette vraiment pas. Le propriétaire, Demetrie, a toujours été très disponible pour répondre à toutes mes demandes. Nous étions plus de 20 à y résider et le manoir est tellement grand et bien conçu qu'il permet de partager dans de nombreux endroits des moments de grande convivialité et à la fois de s'isoler quand c'est nécessaire. Il est de construction assez récente mais tout à été réalisé avec goût si bien qu'il offre à la fois un très grand confort mais en même temps dégage un aspect très chaleureux. La terrasse et la piscine sont magnifiques et gigantesques et offre une vue panoramique à couper le souffle sur l'immense domaine agricole et les collines environnantes. Le personnel de service est très efficace et je recommande absolument de prendre l'option "avec cuisinière". La cuisine de Monika et Eleni est variée, excellente et permet une large découverte des spécialités grecques. Elles sont d'une gentillesse incomparable et font tout pour rendre le séjour exceptionnel. Le domaine est accessible en suivant une piste à travers bois, orangers et oliviers pendant 15 mn, mais le chemin à suivre est très bien indiqué. On y croise de superbes chevaux se promenant en toute liberté. La très agréable petite ville de Palea Epidavros est toute proche, avec des plages, des tavernes et tous les commerces. La côte est magnifique tout autour et l'emplacement est idéal pour visiter les sites archeologiques environnants. Je n'ai qu'un rêve : avoir l'occasion de retourner un jour dans cet endroit inoubliable.

Awesome property!

Stayed with a party of 24, consisting of 4 families with kids. The property and facilities are US quality, which is a must for the women in the group (Greek facilities tend to be shabby). The estate is a cpl of miles away from the Mediterranean so there are no buildings or traffic in sight. Super quiet and serene, yet only a 10 drive to the beach, (free beachfront parking is never an issue). One important tips: go for the optional cook.

A beautiful villa in a great area

The villa overlooks an area of beautiful, unspoilt countryside affording complete peace and tranquility. The building is lovely with elegant bedrooms and communal areas, particularly the ground and top floors. The lower ground rooms are a little more functional but functional is good when you need or want a gym, a separate clothes washing area and a cinema! Monica welcomed us warmly and ensured we had all we needed for the stay. As we like to cook for ourselves our group did not use her culinary skills for meals, but she was always available and the staff who came each day to clean and tidy were absolutely delightful and helped supply fresh oranges, maps and organise day trips. The road up to the villa from the main road is partly unmade but easily drivable, including in the nine seater van we hired to accommodate family and friends. Due to the August heat we generally relaxed in and around the large, beautifully clean pool and grounds. There are many walks one can take, with orange and olive groves and views to the sea from the surrounding hills. The sea is close by and although it is a little further to sandy beaches, such as Tolo, the drive is easy on excellent roads. Needless to say we had a fabulous time.

Fabulous vacation on a beautiful estate.

The High Groves Estate is a beautiful villa in a beautiful setting. From morning until evening the sun baths the grounds and the pool; with a comfortable shady portico and umbrellas for cool retreats. All of the upper floor bedrooms are bright and airy, most with outside terraces or a balcony. Two of the lower floor bedrooms were a bit dark, but very little of our time was spent inside the villa, preferring the outside spaces. We spent most of our days on outings to Epidaurus, Mycenae, Nemea, Nafplion and the nearby beach which were all easily accessible from the property. Late afternoons were spent by the pool and evenings with glasses of wine on the portico. Many in our party would take long walks along the roads of the estate, and we all enjoyed watching the horses roam the fields and the sheep in the pen. Our stay, 16 of us, was superb due in no small part to the fabulous cooking of Monika and Eleni. We were served a hardy breakfast before taking off on our daily adventures and spent every night dining on the terrace. The meals were delicious and plentiful - Monika and Eleni were delightful and very considerate. Daily housekeeping made our vacation carefree as well. It was a wonderful, relaxing time for all of us. Thank you.

Absolutely Amazing!

Our High Groves visit will stand out forever as one of our most amazing and beautiful destinations to date. I knew immediately from my conversations with Demetrie that he would be amazing to work with. The purpose of our trip was for our daughter to be married and to see her walk gracefully down the "isle" we created on the High Grove patio, with Greece's grandiose mountains surrounding us from every angle, was both spectacular & breath-taking, for so many reasons. I know it is a memory she will always treasure. There were 20 of us in all; the food prepared by the cook was wonderful and the cleaning staff discrete and efficient. We found the costs to be very reasonable. Heated tile floors were a pleasant surprise. We went at a time of the year that was quieter than usual, from a tourism perspective, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. We had wonderful access to absolutely everywhere we wanted to go, with no line-ups whatsoever nor wait times. The weather was spectacular and we wore only light fall/winter jackets the entire time. Our rental car made day trips easy. High Groves is a very unique and (for us) different approach to a family getaway and I would highly recommend it to everyone :)
