Skopelos house in Castle

The location in old Skopelos Town and the view from the second floor veranda down to the port and beyond was stunning. We appreciated being met by the owner at the bus station and being driven and then escorted to the property.

The stairs from the first to the second floor were very steep and narrow. Without a banister rail it felt dangerous especially when carrying items. The wet room bathroom tiles were very slippery when wet and would benefit from non-slip tiles, especially as the exit is on the small landing at the top of the stairs.

The property itself could be fantastic. Situated half way up SKOPELOS town the views over the harbour from the balcony were beautiful, whether having a coffee or a glass of wine wine.

Unfortunately the property has been left in the 20th century it is almost like a shrine to his late mother. Yes it is a traditional house but for a holiday location it needs modernisation. (In my view)

Quaint - what an amazing experience from start to finish. We arrived on a rainy day, put into a taxi (at no cost to us) to take us to the accommodation. At the accommodation, met by the family. The house was the owners mother’s house. It was what we would describe as typically Greek. It was wonderful. Arranged over three floors with a well equipped kitchen for the tourist. Also had some local wine and beer left for us (thank you). Great location near a bell tower which offered us a point to find the house again through the many stepped streets. A hidden treasure at a great price.

Nothing, we liked everything.

Pantelis, our host was very friendly, he met us at the port and offered a free ride to the house, taking our luggage along the stairways. We also had an English speaking contact during our stay. Expect a typical Greek house with all the amenities you would need for a relaxed holiday. The view from the balcony was really fantastic! :) The house is divided into three floors with a narrow stairway connecting them, which provides some privacy between the rooms and the kitchen, maybe not the best choice for elderly people. The shower is located on the top floor, next to the only room which has aircon, but there's a cooling fan in the other room. The beds are comfortable. Just a couple of minutes walk and you get to the port with shops and tavernas around.

The double bed on the second floor is not that big to be comfortable for two adults. For an adult and a child it is fine.
