Skopelos Village

"Skopelos Village Hotel is located at the end of the bay/harbour beyond most of the hotels and is a 10 minute walk into the centre of Skopelos town along a wide pavement, five mins from the nearest restaurants, though they do have their own onsite restaurant. We had a 2 bedroom apartment, which was on the first floor. Balcony overlooked one of the two pools, great for morning coffee pre breakfast, but did catch the strong afternoon sun, so we used the stairwell for drinks until the sun went down. Apartment was fabulous. Bedrooms were large, clean, one large double bedroom, one with twin beds, and the lounge/kitchen. There was a bathroom with shower/toilet AND a separate toilet. Air con was in every room, proper dual purpose heating & cooling units, not wall mounted, all powered by a huge shielded external inverter in the garden outside. Few kitchen utensils so not for self catering but we stayed bed & breakfast, and had no intension of eating in. There's a under-counter fridge freezer which we used for ice to cool drinks. Apartment was cleaned daily and linen changed regularly. Pools were lovely for sunbathing - we had no issues with finding beds, but it was Sept so close to the end of the season. Pools were large enough to take a dip but don't expect long swims - 10 strokes and you're done. Breakfast was amazing - loads of choice, and varied daily. We used the restaurant twice for evening meal, once on our first night and on an Abba themed evening. The food is fine but the menu limited - you'll get a bigger choice in almost every other place in the local area. We did a fair bit of walking and took bus journeys to local places, which we enjoyed immensely. Skopelos is STEEP. There are maps and walking books to buy from a shop in town. The map is more useful than the book. Staff were all very helpful and contributed to our having a wonderful 2 weeks there. Fully recommend this hotel and we hope to return next year - only we'll take the water taxi at extra cost, as the standard ferry times made our journey there a loooong one."

"A beautiful hotel is set in a beautiful location overlooking the sea with a fifteen minute flat walk into the centre of town along the seafront. the atmosphere was calm and tranquil and we particularly like the fact that all guests were told not to feed the cats as they can be a nuisance in restaurants on the greek islands.We had a junior suite room overlooking the smaller of the two pools with a large terrace, large bathroom, sitting room , kitchen area with a fridge and large bedroom. with good sized wardrobe but no trouser hangers. There were plenty of sockets and space to sit and dry hair, put on makeup etc-this is my personal bugbear if rooms only have the bathroom for drying hair as it takes the bathroom out of use for others. The resataurant was light and airy with great views of the sea and town , the food was good for breakfast , lunch or dinner. Everywhere was immaculately clean and the staff were a delight and so helpful. There were one of two people who reserved sunbeds, one couple who even went into town for the morning! The gym was small but had equipment and weights. There was yoga twice a week and entertainment on two of the nights we were there."

"We had a fantastic stay at Skopelos Village Hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and always helpful. We upgraded to a Junior Suite with Sea View (Room #1), and it was an excellent choice. The suite was very spacious, with a separate bedroom and living room, plus a large balcony with a beautiful sea view. The pool area was wonderful and the breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. The location is also perfect — an easy walk into Skopelos Town, with a supermarket and several restaurants nearby. We had no problem finding free parking on the street right in front of the hotel. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!"
