The cottage has captivating views of Skiathos, Evia and the Greek mainland. Behind are unique pine covered Skopelean hills. The west facing verandahs and shaded patio form the focal point of the house offering breathtaking views including unforgettable sunsets. The house has been superbly converted from a 100 yr old, stone built farm house with every effort made to maintain the character of a typical island home. Downstairs there is a double bed and adjoining bathroom with toilet, handbasin and large shower area. Upstairs, the kitchen/living room opens onto a west facing verandah and tree shaded patio. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooker/oven, microwave and fridge, sink set in teak wood work surfaces. There is a music system and plenty of books and discs (an automatic washing machine is situated in an alcove outside).

Accommodation

 

 

Accessibility
Unfortunately the house is not suitable for people with mobility problems.

Outside
Our home sits on a 6000sqm property with fruit and pine trees and is very private. You will experience an unique opportunity to look down on buzzard and watch the acrobatic displays of Eleonora's falcons catching flies, as they hunt over the slopes below the house. There is no swimming pool. The island has secluded beaches and the clearest sea water imaginable.

Coast/Beach
Situated on the quieter end of the island there are many peaceful beaches accessible by car within 15 to 20 mins. There are also some beaches with taverns, beds and umbrellas (busy during the first 2 weeks of August). We can also direct you to some secret little coves (shussh). Boat rental is available on the island. We can help to make arrangements.

How to get there
The nearest airport is on Skiathos. There are charter flights to Skiathos from most major European airports and a few to Volos(on the mainland)-try Ryanair. There are also schedule and charter flights to Athens with connections to Skiathos. There are taxi and bus services available on the island. The rental of a small car is necessary, we can help make arrangements. You will be met at your port of arrival and guided to the cottage.

Distances
Skiathos can be reached by hydrofoil from Loutraki in 15 min. Alonissos in 40 mins or Volos, on the mainland, in 2 hrs. There are also ferryboat services- journeys take a bit longer.

Guest comments
" We made our holiday last year ( first 12 days). At the beginning Margarita and I knew nothing about Skopelos or the cottage.... once we tell you that we want to go back again this year, and why, now you will discover:
We travelled from Udine by car via Slovenia, Croatia,Serbia, Macedonia to Thessaloniki and took a car ferry to Skopelos ( 5 hrs). On arrival we had an appointment to meet the owner- Shaun- Irish gentleman in the town of Glossa.
Departing from Glossa after 5 mins on a dirty road and steep uphill, we arrived at the door of the cottage to be filled by wonder .Its a real cottage perfect for 2 people with a view that takes your breath away. Sit on the patio and terrace and just marvel at the view and peace.
To uncover all the hidden corners of the island needs 2 wks but really worth it.
Do not make if you love the smell of tanning oil and beaches crowded with the bar up to the sea.
For what concerns us the best vacation ever made....
