Skopelos is a picture-perfect Greek island in the turquoise Aegean Sea. You can look forward to sweeping views from the hilltop towns and charming eateries looking out to sea. This lovely home is a perfect bolthole for couples or small families looking to enjoy their stay on the island with some quality peace and quiet.

This two-bedroom villa is compact and cosy, with an open-plan living space that leads outside. A pretty courtyard just begs for evening barbecues and cocktails. The villa’s vantage point on a hill means that the views are delightful, with dramatic sunsets.

The swimming pool is private and feels secluded and tranquil thanks to the trees that surround the property, and the mountains in the distance make an impressive backdrop for your morning swim. We’re content to lie out in the sun – occasionally going for a dip or taking a moment to meditate – but if you prefer a bit more action on your holiday, there’s plenty nearby.

The beautiful Limnonari beach is just fourteen minutes away and is understandably popular. Soft white sand and clear, calm water await. In fact, there are enough beaches within twenty minutes of the villa that you can visit a different sandy stretch every day of your stay.

Skopelos town and port are only thirteen minutes from the villa. Whether you plan on setting sail yourself or just enjoy watching the yachts drift in and out of port, it’s a lovely spot for an evening meal and a glass of wine.
