Customer Reviews
Overall:
The pictures of the property were great but didn't really do it justice. It was breathtaking!The property was amazing and communication was constant. The property was even better than described.
Tips or Restaurants:
The only thing that could have made it easier is a better understanding of when the only ferry would arrive to the island on day of arrival. We couldn't reach the local agent all day so since we were delayed, we were not sure that someone would be there to meet us. Of course they were, and we were relieved. Travel to Skopelos is hard to understand if you've never been there. We learned a lot from the locals about best way to get on-off island and would definitely return. As far a travel to Skopelos, get information about high-low season ferry times before booking flights. Whether we took Olympia or car to boat, we would have had an 8 hour layover in Athens and we didn't know how few time tables were available for transfer until we had already booked plane tickets. The reviews were helpful about renting a car, bringing our own beach towels etc which is information that made things a lot easier.

Overall:
Did I mention how beautiful the property was?
Enjoyed Most:
The architecture and design of the house is absolutely gorgeous and the view is stunning.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Absolutely nothing.
Surrounding Area:
The house's location provided us with peace and quiet. Not as bustling as other islands but very beautiful scenery and the people were so friendly.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Although the house was not within walking distance of the town, we preferred the view it gave us overlooking Skopelos Town. The town was quick and easy to access by car, as were the beaches.
Tips or Restaurants:
Bring or buy beach towels because you can't use the bath towels for the pool or the beach. If you are arriving late, spring for the food basket, it was fantastic! Don't plan on watching any TV unless you speak German - you won't want to anyway. The BBQ at Takis and Sophie's is a must! And Bistro, the Mediterranean restaurant was also great!
Directions:
They really assisted us in making all of the travel arrangements once we got to Greece which was very helpful. Also, having a car escort to the property at that time of the night was also appreciated.
Check In Out:
Everyone in Skopelos, at Rentvillas.com and the local agent were amazing!! So helpful, we never had to worry about anything.

Overall:
Views, house really fully-equipped, very well kept and clean. Cleaning is done every 5 days. No need to leave a US$200 deposit because there is no phone.
Enjoyed Most:
180º views, peace and quiet.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Nothing really.
Surrounding Area:
Picturesque villages and beautiful beaches with nice tavernas to eat.
Nearby Events or Locales:
None, that's the whole idea of this house; it's on the top of a hill with hardly any neighbours around.
Tips or Restaurants:
Tips: There is a washing machine in the house, we asked, and it could be used; and that makes a big difference. Very well-equiped kitchen, backgammon (a must in greece), playing cards. Fruit and vegetables cheaper in grocer's than supermarkets. Car rental highly recommended. Must go to Agnodas for dinner, and to Milia, best beach.
