  A beautiful, peaceful and rustic hillside retreat with breathtaking views of Skiathos — we loved our stay, although the

  The setting of the villa is absolutely beautiful. It sits high on the hillside amongst the olive trees and has the most incredible views across Skiathos. It is wonderfully peaceful and we actually spent a lot of our holiday just relaxing at the villa and enjoying the view. The villa itself is quite rustic, which we really liked and was part of the reason we chose it. The layout worked particularly well for our family, as we were travelling with both older and younger children. However, I think the sleeping arrangements are better suited to a family than a group of couples, as one of the sleeping areas is on a mezzanine accessed by steep ladder-style steps. Dimitris was absolutely lovely and very helpful throughout our stay. We were there for ten days and he arranged for the villa to be cleaned and the towels and bed linen changed during our stay, which was a really nice touch and something we hadn’t expected. Despite the practical issues mentioned below, we loved the peace, privacy and extraordinary views, and I would genuinely consider staying here again.

  There are a few things I think future guests should be aware of. The villa is at the top of a very steep hill and the final section of the road is essentially a steep dirt track. We ended up changing hire cars three times and eventually hired a Suzuki Jimny 4x4, which was much better suited to getting up and down the road. My husband is a confident driver, but even he found it difficult at times, particularly if we had to stop going uphill to allow another vehicle to pass. I would strongly recommend hiring a suitable vehicle and think this is something that should be made very clear before guests arrive. The biggest disappointment for us was the swimming pool. We stayed in August, but the water was extremely cold — genuinely more like a plunge pool — and consequently we hardly used it. We were told this was probably because the pool is shaded for much of the day. The sea was beautifully warm, so we generally went to the beach in the late afternoon to swim instead. As a private pool was one of the reasons we were prepared to pay more for a villa, this was disappointing and is worth knowing if having a usable pool is important to you. There is also only one bathroom, which is worth bearing in mind if you’re staying as a family or larger group. Finally, the ladder-style steps to the mezzanine are very steep and I would say they are more suitable for children or agile younger people than adults. Our adult daughter actually slipped on them and hurt her back, so they do need to be used with care. None of these things ruined our stay, and the villa has a lot going for it, but given the price I think prospective guests should be aware of them before booking.

  Très déçus : trop cher, les photos ne reflètent pas la réalité !

  Seul point positif : la vue, magnifique, et une équipe réactive qui envoyait quelqu’un rapidement avec les problèmes rencontrés, même si les réparations n’étaient pas toujours durables.

  Nous avons réservé 6 nuits pour un total de 3 214,16 €, pour 2 couples, sur la base des photos Booking qui laissaient penser à un logement plutôt haut de gamme. La réalité était très différente : propreté très en dessous du standard, mobilier intérieur et extérieur vieux, abîmé, peu solide et mal entretenu, cuisine pas du tout fonctionnelle avec un manque de vaisselle pour cuisiner ou faire des repas. Les photos Booking montraient également une balancelle dans le jardin, mais il n’y avait en réalité qu’une corde pendante. Nous n’avons pas pris de repas dans ce logement, car le mobilier extérieur abîmé et en mauvais état ne donnait pas envie. La literie n’était pas confortable et nous n’avons globalement pas bien dormi. Le jardin et la piscine n’étaient pas entretenus, avec des canettes de bière, des papiers de bonbons, d'anciens jouets de plage gonflables et des épines de pin un peu partout. Nous avons demandé à l’équipe de faire le nécessaire : ils ont simplement pris les jouets et le reste des détritus pour les jeter de l’autre côté de la clôture, ce qui n’est pas acceptable. Nous avons aussi vu des rats à l’extérieur, le long de la maison, ainsi que des crottes de rat. Nous avons également trouvé des insectes et des araignées à l’intérieur. Nous avons subi plusieurs coupures d’eau, avec de l’eau boueuse pendant la douche. La salle de bain est vieille et la robinetterie fonctionnait mal et un peu rouillée. Le lave-linge ne fonctionnait pas correctement malgré une réparation L’hébergeur nous a remboursé 527,36 €, soit à peine l’équivalent d’1 nuit, ce qui reste largement insuffisant au vu de l’écart entre le prix payé et la prestation réelle, la valeur du séjour est presque divisée par deux. Compte tenu de l’ensemble de ces problèmes et de la qualité insuffisante des équipements, ce logement mériterait une réévaluation de son tarif, voire un dédommagement plus important. Les photos publiées sur Booking ne reflètent pas du tout la réalité du logement.

  Location is beautiful. It is up a very steep, dirt track but the views are stunning. Host is fab, really helpful

  You defo need a 4x4, it is seriously steep, and I love a hike, but not this every day. Dimitris can sort you out a 4x4 on arrival

  Beautiful villa with stunning views.

  The view is amazing and the villa had everything we needed as a family of 4. You need a car as not much near and the hill is steep but it is well worth it for the view over Skiathos town and Skopelos and other islands. The villa is very Greek, which we loved.

  Pool gets lots of stuff in off the trees but the pool guy came every couple of days to clean and there was a net you could use yourself.
