Up With the Sun Mortero, Thessaly

Property Description

With views like that, it's impossible not to fall in love at first sight with this charming villa. Just picture morning coffees on the balcony with the sea as your backdrop, afternoon swims in the pool while the sunlight glistens off the water and evening tipples as the stars pop out overhead. With cicadas singing, the waves crashing and the night rolling in, the whole atmosphere is downright magical – like something from a film or a scene from a postcard. Meanwhile, a relaxed, homey feel inside paints the picture of a peaceful holiday, and with a cushy sofa, fully-stocked kitchen and two comfy bedrooms, you'll have plenty of room to make yourself comfortable.

Unspoiled and serene, this rural spot guarantees tranquillity, although there are a few tavernas, restaurants and shops in Glossa, a ten-minute drive away. Skopelos Town is forty minutes by car, while Perivoliou Beach is reachable in ten when you fancy a dip in the Aegean Sea. Our suggestion? Make the twenty-minute drive to Agios Ioannis and visit the clifftop Chapel of St John, a filming location from the movie Mamma Mia.
