Surrounded by fragrant pine trees and aromatic gardens, this homespun villa is instantly calming. Inside, natural materials and a collection of relaxed furnishings come together to create a sense of grounding. Plus, there’s everything you need to ensure a comfortable stay – a compact kitchen for whipping up Greek-inspired lunches and two cosy, fuss-free bedrooms that tempt extra-long lie-ins.

The living area opens onto a covered patio where you’ll spend most mornings tucking into breakfast at the dining table and sipping a coffee on the bench. When the temperature starts to rise, make a beeline for the private pool and float about in the cool water.

Spend afternoons snorkelling in the shallows of Limnonari Beach, a ten-minute drive away, or head into Skopelos town for its picturesque horseshoe harbour, family-run tavernas and unspoilt coastline.
