About this property

Villa Arios Your little Private Resort only 5 min away from a secluded beach

Villa Arios is an exceptional property on Skiathos’s most desirable peninsula, just a five-minute walk from a secluded beach. Set within more than four acres, it lies along a spectacular panoramic circular walking route, with stunning views of Skopelos, the uninhabited island of Tsougria, Mikri Tsougria, Argos and picturesque Skiathos town.

With two main villas and two bungalows, generous shared spaces and peaceful private corners, Villa Arios offers a beautiful setting for holidays with family or friends. Its distinctive features include a large seawater pool with underwater bar stools, poolside lounges, shaded pergolas and an infinity pool with swimming jets.

Main veranda

The main veranda extends over 280 m², surrounded by colourful planted amphorae and shaded by a splendid central tree. A sitting area overlooks the 23 m² infinity Jacuzzi pool with swimming jets, while allowing adults to keep an eye on the playroom.

Under a large tiled-roof pergola, a beautiful Italian stone “Lazy Susan” dining table comfortably seats 12–14 guests. A stylish BBQ completes the outdoor dining area.

Traditional main villa

One of the oldest buildings in the area, the traditional main villa has been carefully renovated to preserve its character. It includes:

A spacious living room with two sitting areas, a fireplace, ceiling fans and air conditioning.

A welcoming kitchen at the heart of the house, with a large table, antique furniture, hand-painted Italian tiles and a wood-fired pizza oven.

A bathroom.

A studio with two single beds, an additional fridge and a bathroom.

A covered dining area beside the entrance.

Main bedroom building

Stairs—or a slide that children love—lead from the main veranda to the lower-level bedroom building. Beyond a decorative entrance door are five individually designed bedrooms:

Tree of Life Room: a sea-themed bathroom with a shower entered through a heart-shaped opening.

Pink Room: an extra-large king-size built-in bed, a heart-shaped entrance and an additional hanging single bed.

White Room: a romantic king-size bamboo canopy bed and a wardrobe with a lace cover.

Blue Room: a triple canopy bed.

Master Bedroom: a king-size heart-shaped built-in bed, a walk-in wardrobe and three doors opening onto the garden.

The building also features a white bathroom with double sinks, a bathtub, a shower and a separate WC, plus a nature-themed bathroom with a stone shower, natural-shell lights and a sink supplied by water flowing from a large natural shell.

All bedrooms have driftwood curtain rails, natural-shell lights, decorative floor details, ceiling fans and air conditioning. Each has a covered porch and beautiful sea and garden views.

The master bedroom opens directly onto an en-suite bathroom with a feature mirror, a white natural-stone double sink, a double shower decorated with “messages in bottles” and a very large bathtub. Driftwood curtain rails, natural shells, mosaics and stone details complete the design. There is also an elegant white-stone WC.

Outside the master bedroom, a secluded private sitting area has stairs leading to the main terrace.

Aromatic Garden Bungalow

A queen-size bed and two built-in single beds.

A bathroom with a shower.

A private veranda with a sitting area.

Pool Bungalow

A king-size bed.

A bathroom with a shell sink and an outdoor shower.

A ceiling fan and driftwood curtain rails.

Pools and outdoor spaces

The seawater swimming pool covers more than 80 m² and features a large underwater viewing window, a pool bar with stools in the water and a new Jacuzzi seating corner.

Beside the pool, a large pergola provides two sitting areas, alongside a pool bathroom and an entertaining area with lounge seating and tables.

Other outdoor facilities include:

A veranda suitable for outdoor cinema evenings or yoga practice, with a bar table.

Two additional outdoor showers.

A parking area.

The property has private access to a secluded beach with crystal-clear water, just a short walk away and shared with the neighbouring villas.

Nearby activities and services

Nearby activities include water sports, boat rental, a water-ski school, canoeing, parasailing and scuba diving. There is also a beach tavern, and the local mini-market offers a delivery service.

Across Skiathos, guests can enjoy horse riding, guided walks and island-hopping tours. The island has numerous restaurants, many serving excellent traditional local cuisine. Skiathos town, 8 km away, offers lively nightlife, with a variety of bars and nightclubs.

Getting to Skiathos

The island’s airport has scheduled flights from Athens and charter flights from the UK, Italy, Germany and many locations in Europe. Alternatively, regular ferry and high-speed hydrofoil services connect Skiathos with the mainland ports of Mantoudi, Agios Konstantinos and Volos.

Car hire is readily available and is best arranged in advance.

Great people!!

Vaso was incredible and made our stay feel like we were home. She’s just a wonderful warm and caring property expert. Gabriella was awesome to work with scheduling and chatting about staying there. Both were very responsive to any issues—which were minimal.

Beyond Paradise

A sprawling vacation paradise. We visited with a group of friends and children and this place has something for everyone. Ice cold air conditioning in every bedroom, large family room and multiple kitchens, but that is only the basics. The real magic of this place happens outdoors with stunning aerial views of ocean, islands, birds, and mountains. A jacuzzi infinity pool for relaxation and a huge saltwater pool with poolside bungalow and so much more. Don’t even think about looking further. Book this now!

A stunning location on a beautiful island

All in all, an amazing property. The location and scenery is second to none. That said, some of the conveniences that we have come to expect aren't perfect (e.g. internet coverage on the lower level is non-existent and some intermittent problems getting hot water to all of the showers). Perhaps the single BEST thing about this property is the person that comes every day to keep things straight (Ms. Froso) who is kind, helpful and willing to assist with anything that may be wrong and to guide you to anything you may require on the island of Skiathos.

Dear George, thank you for your 5 stars review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Villa Arios, indeed an amazing property and great value for money. We would like to adress the couple of things you mention as we really care that our guest have the best possible experience (keeping in mind we are a villa rental on a greek island). Unfortunately the wifi depends on the telephone lines of the island, not something we can do more about. Apart from the daily complementary cleaning service you mentioned (sorry she forgot to turn the hot water on but letting you rent the garden cottage we could not supervise her as we would have). We hope you enjoyed our welcome drinks, the information of the welcome booklet, the support and the attentiveness to make your stay more beautiful from your time of booking, the possibility to rent the garden cottage to accomodate more people, and that all of the above will shade the small inconveniences you mentioned so that you will have only good memories about your stay with us. Looking forward to host you and your family again Gabriella

Ein Traum

Das Anwesen ist traumhaft schön und liebevoll gestaltet, alles ist in bester Ordnung. Gabriella war ständig für uns erreichbar und es war einfach mega, dass wir noch nichtmal unseren Abwasch selbst machen mussten. Dieser Ort ist einfach magisch. Man könnte stundenlang nur auf der Terrasse sitzen und den Frieden und dieses fast unwirklich schöne Panorama genießen. Vielen Dank nochmal für alles, wir kommen wieder.

Family getaway

Villa Arios is a wonderful property in an idyllic location. Gabriella was fantastic in helping with any queries and making our holiday as stress free as possible in these difficult covid times- both before and during the holiday. Villa Arios has its own website with more details on this beautiful home for those wanting more information. We were a party of 6 - 2 adults and 4 teenage boys and there was plenty enough space for us all to have an amazing and relaxing time- the 2 pools spoilt us and the loungers on the beach for our use were perfect! Thank you Gabriella for such an incredible getaway.

Lovely house and beautiful views in an amazing setting

The house itself was very clean and well-equipped, and all the different rooms were perfect for our large group of adults and children. We enjoyed the pool and the jacuzzi with its views was much appreciated. The setting is very quiet and scenic but with easy accessibility to supermarkets and there is food delivery available. The owner was extremely helpful and responsive to any queries I had and I felt that we were very well looked after. Overall we had a great fortnight’s holiday and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa very highly indeed.

Villa Arios fulfilled my dream of a Special Unique Greek Style Family Holiday.

When you arrive at Villa Arios the view takes your breath away and continues to delight at various times of the day during your stay . Then you explore and discover the romantic quirky features that make each area unique and personal . The Villa provided the perfect base from which my large family ( 15 adults 3 children aged 1, 3 & 6 months ) could relax and experience the idilic greek island in Skiathos. The Villa has been skillfully decorated throughout .... think Boho meets Under The Sea ! The Villa has been thoughtfully divided into 5 units which gives ample private and communal space . Our family's age range from 6 months to 65 . We ate every night around a huge stone table on the large terrace with amazing views of the sea , islands and surrounding forest ..... Peregrine Falcons overhead and the full moon rising from behind Scopelos. Many delicious meals where created in the charming rustic kitchen . The lounge provided a large comfortable area to watch movies and sport on the one stormy day . We all ate lunch out at the Kanapista Taverna and travelled to town on the delightful Kanapista Ferry . Everyone was so friendly and helpful with the children . We charted a traditional motor yacht ( Cpt Konstantinos +30 6944392094 ) on 3 days. He took us all to quiet beaches where we swam off the boat and he provided excellent home cooked Greek food . Eva , at the nearby store , kept us supplied with supplies and fresh local eggs bread milk etc. A watch has to be kept on the little ones as there are 2 beautiful pool areas on different levels around the house and a country path leads to the secluded private beach. Gabriella was very helpful and answered all my many questions. I can highly recommend this beautiful large villa to anyone who shares my dream of a simply memorable family holiday in Greece . We hope to return x

Extradorinarly beautiful views and a wonderful house

We have just had a wonderful week in this magical house! The views are the best in Skiathos and the house is comfortable, homley, imaginatively decorated with plenty of space to have quiet time or be with your whole party. The house has access to a beautiful private beach which is fantastic. The views and main terrace take your breath away each time you see them. You never tire of them and it will be very sad to not wake up to them every morning. The swimming pool is salt water which takes some getting used to but it is an excellent size. Gabriella was extremely accommodating and helpful. We couldn't recommend this villa more highly. It was more than we could have hoped for with our party of 5 children & 5 adults; the youngest was 3 and the oldest 73. We cannot wait to come back again to this beautiful villa and visit Skiathos again.

About the host

Hosted by Gabriella Villa Arios Skiathos

Host profile image
This property has been built with love for people I love. I believe in sharing happiness, and making dreams come true, and hope that if you decide to stay in our property you will build your happy memories to cherish for ever.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique, it gives our guests the possibility to share time together and enjoy as well some private time and private space. More than a villa it is like your private little resort, with a very large swimming pool, a Jacuzzi pool, a play room, and just at 5 min walks to a secluded beach. It is located in the best part of the island with stunning views all around as well as some of the best restaurants and organized beaches nearby.

What makes this property unique

Villa Arios offers more than a beautiful place to stay—it has a character and a story of its own. Every room and corner has been thoughtfully created with love and attention, inviting guests to discover something unexpected.

Through each renovation, we have preserved its Greek and Mediterranean soul, with influences from Magna Graecia, natural materials and imaginative details. We want our guests to feel unmistakably in Greece, surrounded by its beauty, warmth and charm.

Think of the romantic Greek island atmosphere of Mamma Mia!, with a bohemian twist and a touch of fantasy: a little private resort where the setting becomes part of your holiday memories.
