Overall:
Enjoy it. We had a fabulous experience, this coming from a group of 9 people ranging from all ages, the youngest being 15.
Enjoyed Most:
The view was magnificent overlooking the bay. The sea sparkled with the radiance of the sun in the morning and in the evening the water looked like it was gently falling asleep on a bed of misty blue glass. It was indeed an image that will remain in our minds forever.
The inside of this home was impressive with 12 foot ceilings, at least, and a very comfortable and pleasing design. The kitchen had all the contemporary amenities and there were ocean views from practically every room.
Enjoyed Least:
Everything about the property met all our expectations with the exception of some minor inconveniences. It was somewhat difficult to keep water from splashing out of the shower stalls and we encountered a slight problem with ants. However, given the rustic location of this otherwise perfect villa, it was not too difficult for all of us to overlook a few imperfections. Suggestions would be to first spray using the hand shower, turn off the water, lather with soap and finally rinse. It is much easier to maintain some neatness while controlling the direction of the water. The ants are a product of the environment, but if the counter tops are kept clean and there is no exposed food left out anywhere, it is very easy to manage.
Surrounding Area:
What's not to enjoy in this Greek Island paradise? The pathway leading down to the sea side shops and restaurants were laced with ancient stepping stones, pure white cottages with variations of colored shutters wrapped around windows adorned by fragrant flower boxes.
Nearby Events or Locales:
The nearest town of Skopelos was a short walk from the Villa. The pathway can be challenging as it can be quite steep. It is a 2 minute ride down from the Villa by car or scooter. There were a number of good restaurants along the sea as well as a variety of shops. People were very friendly and helpful. It was a plus to be of Greek decent and speak the language however, most everyone spoke English to some degree.
Tips or Restaurants:
I would only suggest that families bring any medications, even over the counter remedies such as aspirin, neosporin, Benadryl, etc. These things can be rather expensive overseas and it was comforting having them at our disposal. Otherwise, the Villa was very well equipped.
On a recreational note, I would advise to bring or buy scuba gear, fishing equipment, etc. There are shops which carry these things in the village for a reasonable price.
Directions:
The directions were very good however, we found the map outlining the path to the property easier to follow.
Check In Out:
There were no problems and the travel agency personnel were very pleasant and helpful.

Overall:
Overall a very comfortable and nice place to stay.
Enjoyed Most:
The view was amazing, we had a clear shot of the town, hillside and entire harbor.
It was secluded and we definitely felt we had privacy and the ability to relax.
The kitchen was well supplied with cookware, dishes, appliances, etc.
Our local representative, Henriette was extremely nice, and helpful with taxis, island info, etc.
Enjoyed Least:
The bathrooms were small and dark and the showers were not enclosed so the entire bathroom got soaked anytime someone took a shower.
The house was not well supplied with such items as toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher detergent. We had to buy them.
The cost for heating the pool is high, but the pool heater did not seem to work property. After two days, we just asked the reps to turn it off. There was no noticeable difference in the pool's temperature after they turned off the heater.
Surrounding Area:
The island is beautiful, very nice beaches all within scooter distance. The harbor is full of tavernas and coffee shops. We also hiked to several monasteries.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Skopelos Town is close enough to walk to in ten minutes. There is a very steep hill with switchbacks leading up to the property, so be careful on scooters or be prepared for a steep hike home.
Tips or Restaurants:
Most of the restaurants are enjoyable.
Directions:
There are taxis on the island, so you can arrive from the ferry and hire a taxi to take you to the house after picking up the keys.
