  Karavalos apartments are very well located, being a short walking distance from the town and enjoying wonderful views over the harbour. The apartment is very well appointed with a good kitchen and dining area and lots of options for sitting outside and enjoying a meal on the balcony, patio or by the pool. The hosts were very friendly and gave us a warm reception (even offering us some of the famous local Skopelos cheese pie). We also appreciated the location for hiking; head straight up the hill for monasteries and wonderful hilltop views of the sea. All in all, a lovely stay with lovely people in a lovely spot. Recommended especially if you like cats.

  Nothing.

  Could be lovely but needs maintenance, modernisation and pool heating.

  Excellent location for walking into town. Marilena was a lovely host and very kindly sorted our laundry that got soaked in an unexpected downpour. She also allowed us to stay an extra couple of hours as our ferry was not until 13:35. The twin beds downstairs are very comfortable with good pillows and there were plenty of nice towels. There is a lovely balcony upstairs with nice furniture to sit and look over the harbour although the stairs to it are lethal, definitely not suitable for children or the elderly. The WiFi is excellent and great to have access to Netflix, Prime etc.

  The pool was faulty on our arrival on Saturday and even when it was fixed on Tuesday evening, we found it too cold to use, the sea was much warmer! The steps take up a good third of the pool such that you bang your feet on them trying to swim. We usually like to spend some time by the pool so it’s annoying to pay for something that you can’t use. I appreciate that the house is a traditional stone house but it is in need of modernisation or at the very least a deep clean. There is just a kitchenette rather than full kitchen, the fridge freezer should be replaced, it is way past its best. There is not a dishwasher which you tend to expect as standard in a property of this size. The ground outside the house is very rough and would benefit from some landscaping. All these things you could dismiss if the price had been much lower but in this price bracket, they should be addressed. The price is based on potential full occupancy rather than the quality of the facilities. Such a shame as it could be really lovely. We did have a lovely stay in Skopelos but I would not have booked this property at this price, particularly as it’s not peak season, had I known the issues.
