Guest comments
It is always a pleasure to stay in Glossa, especially with the "Top house" as a base for our new discoveries. Here, the simplicity of life, so close to wonderful nature, stimulate our imagination and bring us new energy. The kindness and hospitality we experience every day make us really feel at home. This makes Skopelos an island of exception, becoming more and more part of us. Without your generosity, "Neil & Yvonne", this will not be possible! With both our thanks, Anne & Thierry
Heaven is not far away from earth on Skopelos island... the Top house in Glossa for sure, is a step not to be missed!
A very scenic authentic Greek holiday, take an extra film/memory card for your camera !
First and last impressions of Top House, Glossa And Skopelos were of having relocated into a delightful fantasy

About the owner
We are Yvonne and Neil, we moved to Glossa about 3 years ago to start a new life. Things are going well and the villagers here have been very welcoming. We will be on hand to welcome you and look after you during your stay. When we first arrived we spent the winter renovating our house, which was nothing more than four walls and a few Kastani beams where the floor had once been. A team of local builders put on a new roof and balcony, then with plenty of advice from the locals, blood, sweat and tears! we proceeded to do the rest of the work. Thank you for taking the time to look at our page and please don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like any further information.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We wanted to be part of this beautiful village and experience the traditional way of life that is becoming more difficult to find in Greece these days. The house is in a peaceful area and has wonderful views but is still part of the village with villagers and donkeys passing while going about their business.
Unique benefits of the property
Our house is only a few minutes walk from the supermarkets and tavernas, also behind the house are olive groves and paths heading into the pine forest, mountains and beaches.
This a great location for those looking to explore this beautiful island, wander through the village streets, head off to one of the deserted beaches or simply sit on the balcony soaking up the views with your favorite book!
