We stayed for 9 days, but felt like home from the very first day. I can easily and sincerely say that this was the most wonderful stay in Greece and we visited many islands in the last 10 years. Stathis and Stella exceeded our expectations and treated us like dear friends, helping us in every little way, making sure that we feel welcomed, comfortable and at ease at all times. The room (more like an apartment) was very spacious, beautiful, with everything we needed, it was cleaned very careful every day and we often found a little gift waiting for us, putting a smile on our faces and warming our hearts. The terrace was big, the view was breathtaking, especially at sunrise, from up there you can see the red sun rising from the sea and everything is so quiet and serene. And the breakfast, oh dear, it was one of our favorite things of the day, the pies and the cakes that Stella cooked were to die for and every day she cooked something different because you can get bored eating the same thing every morning, but the meals never repeated once and I tell you, every breakfast was delicious! Every morning Stathis came with suggestions about where to go that day, depending on the weather, especially the direction of the wind, so we can have a perfect day seeing the beauties of the island. We followed his suggestions and were never disappointed, every day was a magical adventure. You can tell he loves the island and wants to inspire other people to love it too, he is very passionate and has so many stories and information about everything that you could listen to him for hours, and we did, he he. We also have been visited by two funny little kittens from the area, they kept us company and what impressed us was that not only they didn't kicked them out, because we've seen that happen some times in Greece, but they left some food in the room so we can feed them and a ball to play with them and for this gesture they had our total respect. We absolutely loved our stay here!

Nothing

Stella and Stathis were absolutely unbelievable in their service. Very informative, everything was explained so clearly about trips around the island, places to go, eg beaches, supermarkets, restaurants etc, great location. Our apartment was fabulous, extremely clean( a plus), comfortable bed, great facilities overall. Also a fantastic location with views of the water, very serene, quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was included during our stay, it was fabulous, with real home cooked pastries, cakes, bread, not to mention other delights etc daily. Both Stella and Stathis do such an amazing job, we would not hesitate to stay with them again, they have two very happy and appreciative customers.

I can honestly say that we have no complaints about anything.

Stella's House far exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived we felt really welcomed. Stathis (who is running the place with Stella) was hospitable and gave us a lot of information about our stay and places to go to. In fact he had prepared a full itinerary with 8 different excursions. The view from the place is amasing, situated on a hill overlooks Aghia Pelagia with breathtaking views of the harbour and the sea. The room was very spacious with a living room, kitchen and bedroom in one large space. A nice veranda facing the sea. Air-conditioning, provided comfort on warm nights but you can also do without. Breakfast was perfect, full of home made cake, bread, marmalade, jam, honey and at least two new dishes every day, one savoury and one sweet. All in all a great place, a great room, great breakfast and most of all great people! I have no hesitation in giving it my highest recommendation. Thank you Stathis and Stella!

We stayed at Stella's Houses for 21 days and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The apartment provided a magnificent view of Agia Pelagia and across the straight to mainland Greece. Agia Pelagi is an excellent beachside location with everything a visitor requires. The accommodation at Stella's Houses was spacious and functional including a kitchen. Hosts Stella and Stathis were exceptional in fastidiously maintaining spotlessly clean rooms with regular servicing. Stella provided delicious home made traditional breakfast treats each morning which we enjoyed including her jams made from their fruit trees. We met other great people each morning at breakfast. Stathis was a great source of local information for our first visit to the island and was very helpful. We look forward to a return stay.

Everything was perfect! My husband and I are both Greek, living in Berlin, and we have traveled a lot. This was the first time we stayed in such a clean accommodation, especially considering it is not a huge 5-star chain hotel. The room was spacious, giving us all the space we needed and making our stay super comfortable. The view was breathtaking! In addition to the room, the breakfast was delicious and handmade by the hosts. As Greeks living abroad, we obviously miss and appreciate a good handmade Greek breakfast, but we believe it is a great opportunity for foreigners to experience it too. Last but not least, the hosts were extremely warm and polite, while also giving us the space and discretion we needed.

Initially, we thought that the location wasn’t great as it took us approximately 30 minutes to reach any beach or Chora. However, we quickly realized that in Kythera, compared to other islands in Greece, everything takes time to reach. Not everything happens in Chora, meaning that you need a car and should be prepared to drive. In addition, Stella’s houses are located on a hill, which can feel scary the first time, but if you drive slowly, it is not dangerous and you will get used to it very quickly.

I loved every moment of my stay at Stella's Houses. The room was spacious, comfortable, immaculate, and well-equipped, with a splendid view of the sea and town below and every morning, the sunrise. The breakfasts were outstanding, featuring all the basics plus yummy treats, including daily French patisserie quality cakes or pies, and some kind of savoury casserole or pita, as well as Stella baked bread and homemade jams and marmelades made with fruit from their garden. The team of Stella, son Stathis and his wife Penelope were unbeatable and spent much of their time doing whatever they could imagine to be helpful and generous to guests and creating an atmosphere of pleasant camaraderie. I miss the place already and very much hope to return soon, much like the enthusiastic repeat guests that I met during my stay. Highly recommended!

Nothing could have been better! All was topnotch. My only possible concern involved navigating the driveway up to this beautiful perch up on the hill above Agia Pelagia. First gear is best.

Stella’s Houses are set up on a hill overlooking the sea at Agia Pelagia. The view is amazing. Stella and her son Stathis are the best hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is absolutely amazing. Everything is homemade by Stella. The best Greek coffee too. We will definitely stay there again should we be back on Kythera.

The only thing we found we didn’t like was the bed. For us, it was a bit too hard but having said that, we had no trouble at all sleeping. Apart from that, there is. O thing we didn’t like.

Amazing stay! The best choice I made...Hospitality, politeness, availability.

We started our days with Ms. Stella’s delicious homemade breakfast often hot from the oven. Mr. Stathis would share his knowledge and valuable tips for us to explore the beaches, historical sites, stores and tavernas for us to explore the island. I felt that they put their hearts into every detail to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Their care extended not only to the guests and interior of the houses, but also to the fruit trees and plants on the property!! They are the most dedicated and pleasant hostesses/host we’ve met in Greece over the past 10+ years!! Their warm φιλοξενία (Greek hospitality) was extraordinary!!

I would highly recommend Stella's Houses. The breakfasts were freshly prepared every day by Stella and included fresh bread and greek delicacies like tiropites and baklava and one morning we had tiramisu. Stathis, the owner was very helpful and obliging. The apartment was very well presented and clean and has a wonderful view from the balcony where we enjoyed our coffee every afternoon.
