Villa Philosophia -Sophia

The host was very welcoming and provided us with some gluten-free products, six bottles of water, fruits, and vegetables. He also provided us with extra towels, toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash (although not needed). The host was very responsive. As soon as we had a problem with ants in the bathroom, he came within 10 minutes to provide us with a spray against them to solve the problem. The apartment is new, it is 2 years old. It has free parking in the garden at the entrance. This is good because parking is a nightmare in Skiathos. The apartment has all the equipment in the kitchen, utensils, and plates. You can definitely cook your breakfast if you like. The bed is comfy. The place is 10 minutes' walking to the center of Skiathos. The host is a very nice and playful dog that is always welcoming when you come back from the beach.

Although the location is very close to the center, the road to get there is steep and a total disaster, with the pavement almost destroyed and a pothole. It's definitely not the host's fault, but you need to take care of your car and definitely do not wear heels when you go out. The place has no sign at the entrance, so at the beginning you think there is a private residence. We got lost four times before finding the place, and the phone number in the booking was wrong. I recommended that the host put a sign outside the door that says that this is the villa. The entrance of the villa is very rustic. This would not be an issue if it was a 3 star, but for a 4 star deserves attention and care. The way the bathroom is conceived does not provide that much space to hang towels or put your own product for daily cleaning. We took a chair from the garden and put it in the bathroom in order to have a place to put our beauty case in the morning. The sun comes directly to the house, and there is no shadow. Therefore, it is impossible to have breakfast on the balcony outside, and the sun enters the kitchen. There are only the black curtains in the kitchen (not in the bedroom), and if you don't want to get the sun inside, the only thing you have to do is close the black curtains, but that makes the entire kitchen dark. The garden looks at airport. I s’eep like a rock, but if you don’t like noise this could be a problem. With the exception of the small mirror in the bathroom, there is no mirror in the house. If you are a person that wants to see how you look before going out, this is not possible. The closet in the bedroom is created with the idea of hanging only trousers or shirts in mind, and definitely not skirts and dresses, because the drawers are immediately underneath. The hangers are very cheap. There are pieces of unfinished work around the house.

Η τοποθεσία ήταν η καλύτερη. Μέσα στα ελεοδεντρα με ωραία θέα με ιδιωτική αυλή είχε και 2 ξαπλώστρες με μπαλκόνι μεγάλο, θέση παρκιν άψογη, μεγάλες μπαλκονοπορτες, καινούριο κατάλυμα πλήρως εξοπλισμένο δεν έλειπε τίποτα. Ο οικοδεσπότης με το χαμόγελο πάντα δίπλα μας σε ότι θέλαμε με το παραπάνω. Θα ξαναπάμε σίγουρα.

Excellent place to stay in Skiathos, great location just above the town. Had everything you need for your stay. Stunning views. Lovely host in Konstantinos, available to help with any requests. Located a 2 minute walk from Ariston Bakery. Would return again.
