Stunning Villa Nina

We have just spent a glorious week at Villa Nina. The accommodation was fabulous, amazing views and a great pool, with different areas to sit out and soak up those views. Nina and her husband Argiris were very helpful and ensured our stay was as comfortable as possible, providing options for a water taxi from Skiathos and car hire on the island. We would definitely return, we had a fantastic week in Skopolos.

Wonderful property in the most beautiful setting

We couldn’t have wished for more - so thoughtfully and attractively appointed inside and outside. The choice of seating areas, each with its own magic, was so lovely. The gardens, terraces and pool area are beautifully planted and set out. You would never tire of any of the wonderful views from the villa. We really enjoyed the large outdoor kitchen just about every evening. The bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms on the lower floor were again so attractive in an understated way. Everything worked so well for us and we would definitely choose this house again. Thank you Poulcheria, and Nikki.

Wonderful. Great location , Fantastic Villa and host

Stamatis is a very kind and helpful host and goes above and beyond to help. We were met at the airport, where I picked up a car, we followed Stamatis back to the property. He took some of our luggage for us. The villa is lovely and has everything you need. It has the great views of the sea and the end of the runway. The airport is not a problem as very few planes arrive and depart, and it’s great to see them taking off and landing. There are 3 good size bedrooms, one with a bathroom and one additional bathroom. Outside space is fantastic – the terrace has a BBQ on it and coals and firelighters were provided. The pool is lovely. Skiathos is a small island, but we felt a car was good to have, though it looked like there were plenty of buses and taxis. There are two or three good tavernas very nearby within walking distance. We followed many of the walking trails around the island, which are mapped and waymarked pretty well.

Super find

Lovely clean little villa in quiet location with spectacular views over the port and town. Very friendly host. We would strongly recommend your own transport however as, although only 2km to Skiathos Town and all its excellent amenities, the villa is positioned towards the top of a very steep hill. We will definitely be planning a return stay.

Lovely, traditional style villa in the hills above Skopelos Town.

We have just spent a lovely couple of weeks staying at Villa Arktos in Skopelos. The villa is set in a beautiful, tranquil location with views across the valley to the distant hills and further views down the valley to Skopelos town and out to sea. We could sit around the pool and look down the valley to watch the boats coming in and out of the harbour in the distance. The pool was very clean and a great respite from the heat, regularly used by our teenage children. The house was spotless on our arrival and was cleaned every three days. Sheets and towels were also changed every three days. Dimitris, the owner, was fantastic and on hand by text or e-mail to immediately deal with any queries or questions we had. He also helped us to book our ferry to the island and our car. His colleague met us at the port side to take us to our car and took us directly to the property. They could not have done more for us. The island itself is very green and unspoilt. We enjoyed visiting the numerous, beautiful beaches, with lovely warm, clear water. It was great to wander around the old town in Skopelos and browse the shops selling pottery, jewellery, clothes and food. Our children enjoyed the delicious ice cream and baklava served in the tavernas along the harbour side. Overall we felt that the island had a lovely atmosphere and the locals were friendly and welcoming.

Close to Everything and a Real Home from Home

We really enjoyed our holiday. The house has everything and it's close to all the bars and restaurants but not too close. The house is clean and has everything you need. Vassilis is a great host and extremely informative about the island. We had one instance when the boat from Skiathos was redirected from Skopelos town to Agnondas and he came to pick us up. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
