Carefree Summer

Carefree Summer: Thessaly

Embrace island life with a stay at this fabulous villa on Skopelos, surrounded by luscious rural landscapes. With a convenient location and a perfectly peaceful setting, you'll feel at home in no time at all.

The villa's rich orange exterior gives way to a stylish living space where you can truly relax. The wooden beams and tiled floors add some traditional charm, while the large windows flood the area with natural light. If you want to hide from the heat then it's the perfect place to chill out, but we think you'll want to spend most of your time enjoying the fabulous outdoor space. Plunge into the swimming pool and float beneath the bright blue sky, before drying off on a sun lounger. And, when evening rolls around, you can gather your guests at the alfresco dining area and serve up a tasty meal fresh from the outdoor grill.

Hop in the car, and you'll find several beaches to choose from around the coastline – the nearest one is Panormos Beach, with its crystal clear waters. The island's capital, Skopelos Town, is only 8km away, where you can admire the pretty white houses and dine on fresh seafood at the tavernas. And, if you head inland, you can take invigorating hikes through the hills, discovering tiny villages and monasteries as you go.
