Donna's Dance

Donna's Dance: Thessaly

Famed for being the filming location of the blockbuster musical hit ‘Mamma Mia,’ the island of Skopelos is every bit the natural wonderland the film depicted. Surrounded by mountains blanketed in pine forests and the turquoise of the Aegean never far away, stunning scenery is the name of the game here.

One look at this gorgeous villa and there will be no asking voulez-vous – you’ll be enchanted from the moment you arrive. Inside, a sleek modern decor invites you to kick back and relax in the bright living area, while upstairs the two bedrooms offer a magical wake-up with their glorious hilly views and luxurious bedding. With three bathrooms here too, there’s no chance of an SOS when it comes to taking turns under the luxurious rainfall showers.

Step outside to be met with a spectacular outdoor space – you’ll find time slipping through your fingers as you chill out on the sunbeds and while away sunny hours in the L-shaped infinity pool. As evening falls, fire up the barbecue and retreat to the pergola’s table for an alfresco feast, before finishing the night with a starlit soak in the hot tub.

With a Sonos sound system to delight any dancing queen, as well as Greek toiletries and Netflix to enjoy, when all is said and done, you’re in for a blissful time.

When it comes to exploring the local area, drive ten minutes to explore Skopelos Town and enjoy a day by the sea at Paralia Glifoneri (a ten-minute drive) or lovely Limnonari Beach (a fifteen-minute drive). Fans of Mamma Mia can visit the famous Agios Ioannis Church just under forty minutes away by car, while Panormos’ crystal clear bay is also fifteen minutes away by car.
