Acerca de este alojamiento

Ysyhia - Casa con piscina privada y vistas al mar

Ysyhia es la palabra griega para la tranquilidad. Elegimos este nombre para nuestra casa porque era la exclamación más utilizado por nuestros constructores cuando tomaron un merecido descanso durante su construcción. Sería un error para describir Glossa, un tradicional pueblo de colina a unos 900 almas, a poco más de 1 km de distancia, tan agitado o ruido alguno, pero en comparación, que es. Hay más tráfico en el mar, a 200 metros por debajo de la casa, de la que hay en el camino de tierra que conduce a la puerta y que son más propensos a escuchar las voces de los pescadores en sus botes de un coche que pasaba. Usted también es probable que escuche un perro o un pollo, pero no mucho más. La casa se encuentra en un olivar y almendros y mira a través del mar hacia Eubea. No hay otros edificios ni los signos de la civilización son visibles. Este es realmente un lugar para descansar, relajarse e imaginar que estás solo en el mundo. Pero, cuando quiera aventurarse en tiendas, playas o tabernas, todo se puede encontrar dentro de un radio de 3 km. La cabaña está ubicada en un camino de tierra y tiene un camino de concreto empinado pero corto que conduce a la puerta. Reservaremos un auto apropiado para usted en el lugar donde recibirá el mejor servicio.

Amazing little villa

Ysyhia is just the most amazing villa hosted by a great owner Matt. From the moment we arrived in Glossa Matt was there to guide us to the property. Tucked away up a track overlooking stunning views of the coast Ysyhia is a complete gem. Everything you could possibly want in a home away from home. An absolutely beatiful location with the added benefit of a pool. Many night were enjoyed in the tranquility well away from any hustle and bustle. Just the most relaxing stay. Cant recommend highly enough.

A wonderful gem.

I am almost tempted to not add a review as I would like to keep this little gem to myself but that hardly seems fair. Ysyhia lived up to all of our expectations and more. On a busy day you may see a car and a moped pass the villa and occasionally see someone picking olives or knocking walnuts out of a tree. Apart from that your only company is the birds, assorted butterflies , bats etc. Matt is an excellent host. He has the balance just right, helpful but doesn’t impose. We would return in a heartbeat and plan to do so. Thank you again Matt for a lovely stay.

An unforgettable island holiday.

We stayed on Skopelos Island for a week, but it wasnt enough! The cottage is in a tranquil, undisturbed location, amongst wooded slopes, with a beautiful view opening out over the Aegean Sea and towards the other Sporades islands. There was a lovely, spacious patio with a swimming pool. The interior had been simply but beautifully designed using local materials and colours, especially the stone floor and marble worktops. The bathroom was an elegant combination of reclaimed beach stones and green marble. The oven and hob were top of the range and very clean. All the kitchen equipment was new and good quality. The double bed was very comfortable and ideal for long lie-ins with a view of the sea. Overall we were very impressed by the cottage. We found that Matt and Sarah were very thoughtful and attentive hosts. We had a lot of privacy in the cottage, but it was easy to contact them if ever we had a question or needed anything. One especially nice touch was that they provided a local mobile phone with all the necessary numbers and €10 credit on it. Another nice gesture was them contacting us in advance to ask us what ingredients we wanted stocked up in the cupboards. Overall, we felt very comfortable and at home, with the perfect balance of seclusion and friendly hosting when we needed it. It is essential to hire a car when you stay on the island, both for practical reasons, and for the chance to take in all of the fantastic views and sites. The island is almost totally covered by woodland. We discovered many areas of natural beauty, including those made famous by the film Mama Mia (which entirely lived up to expectations). There are not too many cars on the roads, but due to the island topography there are many steep gradients and tight turns, therefore it will help to have a confident driver with you. One activity we can highly recommend is sea kayaking. We had a wonderful day, paddling through the shallows, sliding silently through the waves, and traversing sunlit stretches of open water. We even saw dolphins! The seabed is contoured by limestone rocks and crags, and the water is superbly clear, creating the stunning blues, turquoises and cyans that the islands are renowned for. We really enjoyed swimming through the crystal waters of the beaches, but it was also great fun to kayak out and experience more of the seascape. Our guide was great at tailoring our trip to our interests and level of ability. Overall, this was an unforgettable island holiday.

We are so glad you had such a good time and that even in February you found the sea an acceptable temperature - most people wouldn't think so! You are very welcome back at any time, and were you to come back in Summer, you might find a few more cars on the roads!

Beautiful Cottage

We had a wonderful week in this small (big enough for 2) and beautiful cottage. What a perfect view on the Mediterranean Sea. It is a very quite place and it takes a few minutes to get where the next people are. If you love that vacation couldn’t be better. Matt, the owner of the cottage, met us in Glossa and we followed him to that beautiful place. He gave us lots of information on peaceful and lonely beaches and good restaurants. We will definitely return next year.

Heaven

Just returned from a week at Ysyhia. And what a fabulous week it was. The property is perfect, with a heavenly view and it’s beautifully secluded and private. The pool is perfect for cooling off and the wisteria covered veranda is lovely and shady on a hot day. Inside it’s small but perfectly formed with every mod con and lots of storage and everything thought of. Not that you will spend much time indoors, the outside is too beautiful. In the evenings we were entertained by the bats catching insects over the pool and by the bird of prey, possibly a small toed eagle, hunting over the valley. So if you after a real peaceful holiday in a beautiful spot, Ysyhia is the place for you.

Perfect Greek Island Experience

This was our first visit to Greece and we wanted to spend one week of our visit experiencing a Greek island. We were extremely pleased with our choice of Ysyhia on the island of Skopelos. Skopelos was the perfect Greek island experience and Ysyhia was an exceptional and beautiful place to stay. I agree and reiterate all the other reviews about Ysyhia, Sarah and Matt. I do not think I have ever stayed anywhere that is as quiet and peaceful as Ysyhia. It is a perfect and beautiful place for a quiet and/or romantic getaway. Matt and Sarah are very friendly and helpful, but respect your privacy. They seem to have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable—beach chairs, cooler bag, sun umbrellas, beach towels, sun tan lotion, etc. And the cottage has what you need for comfort, relaxation, meal preparation, etc. We explored the island and decided the beach closest to the cottage was the best. But Ysyhia with its pool, patio and view provides the best place to relax. Ysyhia can be a place for both young and old, active and passive. If you want to walk, hike, bike, paddle board, kayak, snorkel, boat, etc., Skopelos has it. We did have a car and were there the 2nd week of October just as the tourist season was ending, so we found the island and roads extra quiet. We flew from Athens to the neighbor island of Skaithos and took our rental car from Skiathos on the ferry to Skopelos. (You should have a rental car at Ysyhia but not a large one because the roads on Skopelos are narrow and winding, and the driveway to Ysyhia is even smaller. Sarah is very good with arranging the right rental car for you on Skopelos if needed.) Skiathos is the only Greek island we had to compare to Skopelos. We felt Skopelos is a much better choice if you truly want to experience a Greek island with a rustic, local atmosphere and more picturesque beaches. Skiathos was built up with large hotels and resorts and was more crowded with tourists. We loved Skopelos for its rustic and rural atmosphere compared to Skiathos. We are from the States and it is quite a jaunt for us to get back to Greece. But if we ever do we will be sure to have another visit at Ysyhia. We highly recommend Ysyhia. Thank you, Matt and Sarah, for a wonderful Greek island experience.

Thanks so much for this very thorough review! We are so pleased to have helped make your first Greek island experience such a good one. Most of our guests have usually visited at least one Greek island before they come here and so have an idea of what to expect. Therefore, having a review written with absolutely fresh eyes is a treasure! Many thanks, and of course you are welcome back whenever you can face that lengthy trek again!

Tranquility

We booked this cottage as a get away and were not disappointed. The hosts, Sarah & Matt were attentive but not intrusive, they had catered for everything we might need during our stay and even left some home made goodies for our arrival. The views were stunning and enabled us to wind down instantly. We had a great time exploring the island both on foot and in the car. The friendliest of the locals we found to be in the small shop & bakery in Glossa and in skippers bar in opposite the port. A truly wonderful place if all you want is relaxation -

Absolutely beautiful and idyllic getaway

We have just returned after a two week stay at Ysyhia Cottage and I would thoroughly recommend this place. I even got emotional!!! when we arrived as it is so so beautiful. From booking until departure the owners Matt and Sarah were so caring and such lovely people. The cottage is spotlessly clean and has a large lounge, kitchen and dining area which is decorated beautifully. The cottage is equipped with everything you need and more!! even chairs to take to the beach, beach bags, cool bag and so many other things too many to mention. It again shows how caring and considerate the owners are to the needs of their guests. When you lie on the bed you have the most amazing view of the sea. The bedroom also had a nice quiet air conditioning unit. The bathroom is decorated very tastefully and again is immaculate. The Wifi is excellent and very fast. The outside has a large patio area where we sat all of the time to eat our meals as it has a view to die for. The pool is again spotless and well maintained. There is a lot of wildlife to see, we experienced the Eleanora Falcon, Hoopoe!!, Hedgehog, Bats, beautiful Moths and Butterflies on the gorgeous flowers, climbers and other plants that surround the cottage. Don't forget your binoculars if you love nature watching. The cottage is not overlooked at all, it has total privacy and such a romantic getaway you will not be disappointed. A car is a must if you wish to explore the island of Skopelos. We did eventually tear ourselves away from the cottage to explore all the beaches and we did find that the best, private, and quiet beaches were the ones that are close to the cottage. The only thing you will see are the boats on the sea, amazing scenery, wildlife, and the stars that are amazingly clear at night. Totally recommend Ysyhia Cottage and credit to the owners Matt and Sarah for making this a truly unforgettable place. Thank you both so much

Perfect peace

This was our third visit to Skopelos and whilst we know the island is very tranquil, we were amazed at how peaceful the location of Ysyhia actually is. Although the property is only a short drive from Glossa, or lovely walk if you're up to it, it is a perfect location for those wanting to get away from it all. It is very private and secluded and not overlooked in any way. Sarah and Matt have thought of everything when equipping the property and it is very tastefully furnished, very clean and very well maintained. Sarah met us at Loutraki (port of Glossa) with our hire car and we followed her to Ysyhia via the local supermarket to stock up on a few essentials. Then Matt & Sarah showed us around and explained how everything worked. They even provided us with a mobile phone so we could contact them if we had any queries. We spent a large amount of time relaxing, reading and dipping in the lovely pool with the occasional walk through the olive groves. The views really are spectacular and breathtaking - an ever changing scene. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and left feeling very envious of Sarah & Matt and what they have lovingly created. We would very much like to return in the future.

Two weeks of perfect peace and tranquility

After spending a week at Ysyhia in 2015 I couldn't wait to get back this summer and booked two weeks in July this year. It was the perfect tonic - the ideal way to de-stress. Long walks along the virtually traffic free country roads and frequent trips to the lovely town of Glossa via a delightful woodland walk. Lazy afternoons and evenings by the pool enjoying the breathtaking view from the cottage - the perfect way to end the day. Sarah and Matt are there to give helpful tips on where to go and what to do and are just great company. It doesn't take long to feel at home on this lovely island where the local Greek population are gracious, welcoming and friendly despite all the hardships they've suffered. I can thoroughly recommend Ysyhia to anyone looking for something a bit different.

Tranquility and Relaxation

If you are looking for a relaxing holiday that gets you away from it all, then look no further. Ysyhia cottage is exactly as it says on the tin, complete tranquillity! The views are wonderful, and as you sit and relax staring at the yachts and fishing boats out at sea you become aware that you are surrounded by only the sound of the birds and the breeze gently blowing through the pine, olive and walnut trees, which encircle the cottage. If you want to feel like you are completely alone in paradise then Ysyhia also offers this. The cottage is secluded and out of view of any other properties. Your privacy is of upmost importance to Matt and Sarah and they will only appear if they have pre warned you. However they are always available if you need to contact them or have a question. A lovely touch is the mobile phone that they have set up for you to use with handy numbers and €10 credit. The cottage itself has everything you need, the kitchen is well equipped and the appliances are easy to use. There is a good selection of books and DVD’s all with an underlying ‘Greek’ or getting away from it all themes. Sarah and Matt seem to have thought of everything even down to providing beach bags for you to use! Although you could easily spend your holiday at the cottage, there are lots of places to discover around the island. A car is a must to do this. We hired a Fiat Panda and it managed most of the roads and tracks. Sarah arranged the car hire for us and together with Matt gave us lots of tips of where to go, the main ones being not to drive through Glossa’s narrow streets and to avoid villa walls. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked again for next year, however for our next trip we will not be taking as many clothes. Top tip is travel light, hand luggage if you can. We spent most evenings at the villa but when we did go to the restaurants, dress was very casual. All in all the ideal holiday location for which we hope to visit for many years to come.

A delight

Intimate, timeless and peaceful. After a busy few days visiting the sights in Athens, Ysyhia offered us a complete contrast: a place to read, walk, take photographs and relax on the terrace watching the comings and goings of the boats knowing we could just stay put until sunset. Even in October we found it warm enough to try out the pool and I loved waking up to see the sea beyond my toes.
Respuesta de VrboOwner el 26 de mar de 2020
Thank you Rachel for your kind words. October is frequently one of our favourite months here, usually still warm enough for swimming but not as busy as the height of summer. Most certainly it is a contrast from Athens at any time of the year! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay here and hope to see you back here again one day.

Beautiful

Ysyhia is just a beautiful villa in a beautiful location. The cottage has been perfectly finished with every detail considered. We didn't need for anything. The location is incredibly private - you can't see any other dwelling from the house... just the sea! You'll need a car to see the sights of the island, but you can easily spend your time just chilling by the pool and exploring locally.

Getting Away From It All

I spent a week at Ysyhia Cottage and can confirm that it more than lives up to its name - serenity. The lovely view from the cottage, sitting on the hillside and surrounded by the greenery of the beautiful pine forests is fantastic making it very tempting to spend the day lazing by the pool looking across the water to the islands out on the horizon. But Ysyhia has the advantage of also being within walking distance of the lovely town of Glossa, a fascinating jigsaw puzzle of picturesque little streets with a surprising variety of shops and cafes. The port of Loutraki below is also well worth a visit - there's a lovely walk from the port up to the next village with the reward of stunning views when you reach the church at the top of the path. By car it's possible to enjoy all the other wonderful walks beyond the immediate surroundings of the cottage, to swim at one of the beautiful beaches or visit the main town of Skopelos - a lively mix of the traditional and stylishly modern. Sarah and Matt are the perfect hosts - with their detailed local knowledge of everything the island has to offer you can't go wrong. It was very reassuring to know that any difficulties would be dealt with promptly. I really enjoyed their company and loved being next to a the Greek version of a Highland croft! Can't wait to go back next summer.

An Adventure

This villa is a perfect getaway for those that like a little adventure. Our hosts were helpful, kind, and considerate. We were met at the ferry by Sarah who had our car ready. She lead us to the villa which was exactly as she described. Rural, quiet, and peaceful with an incredible view. The villa has been beautifully built with a special attention to detail. We slept with the windows open, swam in the lovely pool, and ate meals overlooking the Aegean. Sarah and Matt helped us with which sites to see and which beaches we should definatly visit. We met them at a taverna one evening and even enjoyed a trip in their boat. We drove all over the island on two lane roads easily. Our favorite taverna was in the Port of Glossa-Loutraki named Aramis. Family owned and operated the food was healthy and full of flavor. We snorkeled in crystal clear water, laid on white sandy beaches, and soaked up the sun. We will defiantly return!!! Thanks Matt and Sarah for an amazing trip and a beautiful villa to enjoy.

This cottage truly lives up to its name and web description in every way. The location and views are sublime and the cottage spotlessly clean and well appointed. We felt relaxed from the moment we stepped onto the spacious outdoor area and looked across the sea to Evvia. The sense of peace and tranquility is tangible and a real balm to the soul. You could easily spend all day here, swimming in the pool, enjoying the view, reading and relaxing (and taking copious photos) but if you want to venture out you have the beautiful village of Glossa nearby and the atmospheric port of Loutraki below (not to mention the other charms of Skopelos a little further away). Matt and Sarah are wonderful hosts, on hand when needed (being locals they can provide heaps of useful "insider" information about the island and its attractions), but they are also sensitive to the needs of their guests when privacy and seclusion are the order of the day! This very special place deserves revisiting again and again. Thank you Matt and Sarah for sharing your piece of heaven with these Antipodeans.

Gorgeous cottage, peaceful location, amaz

What an amazing place! We felt so relaxed after just a few days of being in the cottage, and after a couple of weeks, deeply rejuvenated from our time there. The view of the sea is incredible and feels like it's just for you! It feels wonderfully secluded, surrounded by the olive groves and sea, the stars at night, with just the sounds of the nature around to break the quiet. The cottage is spacious and light, designed with attention to detail, vibrant colours and elegance; it's also equipped with everything you could think of! The outside space is large and open too, with a pool that it was not the time of the year for us to try but looked a good size for the summer. We made the walk into Glossa village many times, and enjoyed wandering through it's charming and colourful streets. It felt good to be in a real Greek village rather than a place just for tourists, and the locals were very friendly. There were plenty of cafés and eateries to keep us happy, and again, the views of the Aegean and it's islands from Glossa were spectacular. Over-all the combination of the privacy and seclusion of the cottage with the ease of getting into the village, which had everything we needed, was perfect.

We are Matt and Sarah. We first came to Skopelos Island on holiday in 2002 and fell in love with it. We returned six months later to see how a couple of months in the winter suited us and that is when we found and bought our acre and a half of hillside. We returned in 2005 to live here full time, supervising the building of our own house and taming the land. Our smallholding is predominantly a mixture of olive and almond trees. It also includes a small vineyard, a sizeable vegetable garden and a developing fruit orchard. We keep hens and a couple of sheep. Matt tends most of the plants and animals, makes the wine and does a bit of fishing. Sarah makes preserves, answers guest queries and cleans out the hen-house.

Por qué escogió este alojamiento

We love the forest and the view of mountains on Evvia.
Ysyhia is far enough from civilisation to be astonishingly quiet and restful yet close enough to be convenient for shops, beaches and eating out. The view is, of course, stunning, and with no light pollution, the night sky is bursting with stars. No other buildings can be seen from the cottage and none overlook it. Our house is up the hill on the same 1½ acre plot. Each house has its own private access and a fence separates the 'farm' from Ysyhia and its garden. A grove of olive and almond trees provide each house with total privacy from one another but we are on hand should you want help or advice.

Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial

Ysyhia is modern, bright and airy. It has a private pool that is the perfect size for flopping about in. The kitchen is well-equipped without being full of clutter and you will likely be offered fresh eggs or vegetables from our garden depending upon availability.
