Family-friendly vacation rentals in Aghios Emilianos

Our host Dimitri was super. He had lots to coordinate with taxis and luggage pickup- he was very thorough, friendly and patient!! He also arranged for a private chef to come in, who was fantastic. Afrodite the housekeeper was wonderful and adorable! We loved our stay and would love to return soon and stay here!! Spetses is the best!!

Panos is a fantastic host, from the fresh figs and delicious orange cake waiting in the fridge for us on our arrival, to organising a local lady to come and do some cooking for us ( a great way to taste really delicious Greek food) to being on the phone when our car broke down and acting as a translator plus lots more. The villa is a real get away from it all location and just 8 mins drive from the local buzz of the local town. It was so good that we just didn’t want to leave. The views are fantastic and better than the photos in real life. There is lots to do around and about ,lovely little beaches, great restaurants and the boat taxi to Spetse is close by as well. I would definitely recommend and would love to come back again.

How to say, if you are looking for tranquility, rest, sun, a beautiful sea view,a jacuzzi for relaxation , in a charming town, this cycladic house will charm you as it charmed us! Sue is a welcoming, pleasant and responsive host. We can only recommend this slice of heaven!

The place was very nice--great location, well stocked, friendly host who was easy to get in touch with. Only one shower was a bit challenging for four people, but everything else was fantastic.

Vaggelis' place was amazing and it included everything that a visitor might need during the stay. Vaggelis himself is a great host, he made sure that the check-in/check-out went smoothly and he gave me all the necessary help to find the house, spend a quality time there and feel like at home. He is very discreet and very pleasant as a person. The location is perfect, a few meters only away from the sea and with a great view from the balcony, also very close to the city of Porto Heli, where you can find restaurants/bars/shops. The place is super clean, both inside the house and outside in the pool/garden area. There is plenty of space for the visitors, with 3 double bedrooms and a lot of common space. A big thanks to Vaggelis that made our stay very pleasant and unique. We will definitely come back.

Beautiful home with scenic outdoor areas. Host is very accommodating and responds quickly if there are any issues. Perfect location for a family vacation.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Florian was wonderful meeting us at the port and helping us with our baggage. Nothing was too much trouble - he organized some laundry to be done for us, a rental boat for a day, and some great restaurants. The villa itself was beautiful and we adored seeing the photo books of the restoration/renovation process. Highly recommend - of course you need to be fit and able to walk the stairs but the view is spectacular and absolutely worth it.

The house was spacious - the highlight is the veranda with the swimming pool, it's an awesome place to hang out. Mark was a great host, very responsive and accomodating.

We felt welcomed as if we were in our own house looked after our mother. She offered us snack, regular cleaning, made us recommendations about food, beaches, even helped me with private matter. She’s one of the best hosts I had to date since using the app! The place was very clean and very well equipped.

Its rare and a privilege to be able to stay in such properties! Extra bonus the hosts! Spetses at this house is an experience!

It was safe , clean and comfy

We stayed a week over the New Year and had a wonderful week exploring the Island. While most restaurants etc were shut there were still places to eat and supermarkets and bakeries were all open. We felt privileged to experience the island while it was so quite. We very much enjoyed staying in Eleni’s place. Great value. Comfortable bed and an electric heater and ac units available for additional heating when required. Eleni was very responsive to any query. The days were bright blue with temperatures ranging up to 15 degrees. Excellent for walking. We really enjoyed having breakfast in the cafe Kam-In each morning just down the steps on way to Kamini. Hope we can come back.

The place with the best views in Poros. The house is amazing and has absolutely all the comforts for a family. It's wonderful to see the sunrise and moonrise from the comforts of your bed and to have dinner on the wonderful terrace. Extremely hospitable hosts who, in a crisis situation we had during our vacation were ready to help us immediately. We loved it so much that we travelled all the way back to Poros next year just to be in this wonderful place again.

My daughter and I spent two beautiful weeks in february in Ioannis’ home. He was always there for us, when we arrived with his beautiful donkey Pénélope, and he was also there to help us when we caught the boat back. In the meantime, he was always available to answer questions in a warm and kind way and had very nice gestures. Although the temperatures were sometimes low, the house has a good heating. And for the sunny days, the terrace under the lemon tree is great. I highly highly recommend!

Peaceful, private, beautiful. The perfect getaway. Only a 20-minute walk into town. Swimming in the sea 100 metres away. Plenty of outdoor space. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Sofia was a wonderful host. We would stay again.

Very nice place, clean and safe place.

You want to withdraw from crowds? A shopping centre is a few kilometres away (main point of reference upon arrival). Fill the fridge and relax. Should you wish to explore the area, Porto Cheli is a 5min drive away, 10-15mins to Costa where you can get a boat to Spetses and about 15mins to Ermioni. So, although not in walking distance from the main nearby centres/beaches, it is centrally located though you will definitely need a car to move around. Either way, parking space is plentifull and the house is then easily accessible while all rooms open to the pool deck. Views are stunning. A decent sized pool with variable depth, cleaned regularly, overlooks the mediterranean garden. A large table by the pool deck is where you'll most probably be spending your afternoons and evenings. Shaded outdoor sitting areas, outdoor and indoor ceiling fans and efficient a/c in the bedrooms essential for summer. I guess it's a case of elegant simplicity over superficiality. Your choice.

We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Everything was wonderful!

Great house with a big pool. A few minutes walk to a beautiful little beach. Porto Heli only 10 mins in the car. We really enjoyed our stay.

We were in Hydra for a friend's wedding/honeymoon and had the pleasure of staying here. The villa is spectacular, set across 4 different levels, its great for friends/family staying together who want some privacy. Views from the different terraces are stunning. the pool was fresh (Mid-Sept) but great to dive into having walked up the steps. Great book collections for holiday reads etc. Shops with all basic needs are around 2-3 min walk away. I only met Daniela briefly but she was on hand for anything we needed and have us a heads up when the gardener / cleaner was coming in.

This was our second stay at Marc’s place and it continued to meet our requirements for quiet, comfortable and spacious accommodation in Hydra. The accommodation is located on the flatter area of the village, just before it gets too steep. It is far enough away from the centre to avoid the crowds and night time noise, yet close enough to walk there in a few minutes. Like many Greek villages, the house may not be suited for those with mobility issues. The house itself has a number of steps and the approaching laneways are cobbled which can make dragging luggage a bit awkward (although using one of the local baggage trolley operators can address the latter issue). As the description indicates, it has a large outdoor area and the plunge pool is great if you need to cool off on a hot day. Even though it’s surrounded by other buildings Marc’s place is very private. We found Marc’s place to be perfect for our needs and would happily recommend it to others.

We loved staying here. Walkable to the main town (although quite a steep hill so maybe a consideration if you are older or have reduced mobility) but my 3 and 6 year old managed it fine! Loved the view and general light and airy feel. Having the swimming pool access in the complex was also great. I really recommend this as a base to explore Spetses. Manos was really helpful and when the Nespresso machine didn’t work he had it replaced the next day. Very responsive!

The house matches its description in every way. The exterior is very pleasant and well maintained. The infinity pool overlooks the bay at 180 degrees. The dining / bbq area is spacious and covered, providing shelter from the sun. The quality of service is impeccable: very clean sheets and towels. Very fluid communication with our host who has always been very responsive.

Petros and his children went above and beyond To make us feel at home on beautiful Ydra. His restaurant recommendations were right on point and he knows the best beaches. We are already making plans to rebook this outstanding accommodation for next year.
