Villa Arete is a superb new find in a wonderful location, offering stylish, practical accommodation for a smaller family or one or two couples. Luxury villas are relatively few and far between on this laid-back island, but Villa Arete easily ticks all the boxes in terms of location, décor and views. Tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped, it offers two main bedrooms and a further full-height mezzanine sleeping area, so there’s room for the whole family to enjoy this gorgeous spot.
Skopelos is all about lazy days in the sunshine, and you could happily sit here for hours at a time enjoying the views over the Aegean, shimmering in endless different shades of blue and criss-crossed by boats busying in and out of the port. There’s a handy shaded barbecue area by the pool, which doubles as your evening aperitif spot before heading down into town for dinner. If you’re travelling with older kids who like to have their own independence, they can wander down into Skopelos Town for a gelato or some super-yacht spotting, while you enjoy the pool and a good book, blissfully undisturbed.
The sea feels ever-present when you stay here, and beyond the town beach it’s an easy drive to discover the west coast beaches like Panormos or Limnonari; go for the clear sea and watersports, and stay for the glorious golden sunsets. And if the green hillsides all around inspire you to venture inland, there are picturesque villages to explore and a cluster of peaceful monasteries on Mount Palouki that are well worth the walk.

Its wonderful beaches range from secluded coves to more organized spots like Panormos, Milia and Kastani, well equipped with sunbeds, watersports and beach bars for idyllic days by the sea. Our villas on Skopelos provide privacy, space and private pools, perfect for couples and families in search of authentic Greek charm and a laid-back atmosphere where nowhere is too far away and nothing is terribly urgent.
