A lovely drive past some of the islands most renowned monasteries brings one to the unmade road for the final 100 meters to the villa. The entire house is surrounded by a large grove of enormous Cypress trees which give a unique and fabulous feel to the house, as its nearly hidden away from the world. The villa is decorated in a traditional island style. From the slate floors to the wood beamed ceilings, its warm character gives it a wonderful homey feel. From the entrance door, the spacious sitting room has plenty of seating to relax and read.The country kitchen is simple but well equipped. The double French doors lead out to the spacious terrace, where you can find the built-in barbecue. From the sitting room, a wooden stairway leads up to the spacious loft bedroom which is furnished with two double beds on opposite ends of the room. 

From the window the views face to the surrounding hillsides. Another stairway from the sitting room leads to a common bathroom with shower/WC and the laundry room. The downstairs double bedroom is entered through another door and can be closed off for privacy. There is a lovely alcove in the corner of the room which is furnished with a day-bed, the perfect place to escape the mid-afternoon sun. There is also a bathroom with tub/WC and a seating area. The double bedroom has its own entrance and terrace on a lower level than the main house giving those who occupy this room more privacy and their own access to the swimming pool. Because there is no taxi service to this property, a car hire is recommended. Due to the partial unmade road and steep drops to one side a jeep hire is essential.

North-east of Evia between Skiathos and Alonnissos, 60 nautical miles from Volos, lies this green island of the Sporades Group. It owes its name to the alternating cliffs and sandy beaches which encircle the island almost like a garland. The main town, also called Skopelos, enchants its visitors with its lively harbour, its narrow, steep lanes and pretty white houses with their original grey shingle roofs, many of which are still in excellent condition. In the north-west of the island, one finds the picturesque fishing village of Glossa, with its harbour Loutraki. This is the first stop of the ferry that makes its way from Volos and Skiathos. This island of Skopelos is under the special protection of the European and Greek environmental authorities and has therefore remained a true paradise for nature lovers. Here you can still find flora and fauna totally in their natural state. Pine forests reach down to sandy beaches.

Getting there: Charter flight to Thessaloniki or Skiathos, high-speed boat.
