There is a small front terrace, off the living room with views to the sea.

A beautiful peaceful stay. We loved it.

What a beautiful villa, with stunning views in total peace and quiet. The pool and garden are lovely with lots of space to relax. The hammock is a great place to read in the shade of the afternoon. The villa is well equipped, rustic and quiet. If you're looking to get away from it all this is the place. And close to beautiful beaches and Skopelos town. You can drive most places within 15-20 minutes. Thank you Dimitris and your family for looking after us and for your kind parting gifts. We'll be back for another stay soon.

Peaceful and private cottage in the centre of Skopelos island

This is a lovely property, obviously cared for by a family over the years, not just filled with Ikea furniture for the tourist market. The basement "suite" was great for our two teenage daughters to have their own space. The pool was lovely and as the photos show, there is lots of outdoor space and places to sit. Hardly any passing cars and we could hear the goat bells from the garden. It is 20 minutes or so drive to Skopelos town, but we prefered to head west and visit the beaches on the western side, plus the town of Glossa which was a gem. Only criticism of the property was that more crockery and cutlery are needed.

A beautiful hidden gem!

We had a lovely time at Dimitris' villa and were given a very warm welcome as soon as we arrived. Dimitris was an excellent host, extremely helpful from the moment we booked- he always got back to us straight away. The villa is very peaceful and beautiful. The car was essential as it is in a very rural spot. Being in the middle of the island nowhere is really far. The only issue we had was with bugs unfortunately- lots of wasps due to a nest we discovered on our last day, and also bugs found in one of the beds in the downstairs bedrooms. However, we thoroughly enjoyed being in this beautiful place and would recommend it very much. Thank you, Dimitris, for making us so welcome!

Fantastic Villa and Island

Such a lovely place to stay. Dimitris was great and was on hand should we need him. His parents cleaned the Villa half way through our stay. The Villa was very clean and the pool was lovely. As other reviews say you would definitely need a car to stay at this property but Dimitris arranged all of this for us. There was fresh fruit including lemons and cherries in the garden. The wildlife was fantastic. The Villa was very quiet with not many cars passing. We would recommend going to Agnanti in Glossa for dinner one night as it had spectacular views and food was amazing. Also hiring a boat from wind speed boat rental. Me and my partner got engaged when we were on the island so it will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you Dimitris for the wonderful Villa and your assistance.

Simply fabulous!

We have just had the most wonderful 2 weeks in the Blue Cottage. It is perfect for a family with older children who can sleep independently as the two twin rooms are below the main house by external stairs. The cottage is on a very quiet road with lots of outdoor space. The only noises are from the cicadas. Fruit can be picked from the trees or vine. The outdoor kitchen is perfect for al fresco living. We had lots of fun in the pool. Star gazing at night with lots of meteors whilst we were there. Exploring the island requires a car which was sorted out by Dimitris. Lots of great beaches, and restaurants to while away the hours! This was an amazing holiday made all the more special by our stay in Blue Cottage. We are definitely planning to return.

Heaven on Earth

This must be one of the most lovingly kept villas on all of Skopelos. Inside is basic but fulfilled all our needs (and the hard mattresses other guests complain about must have been changed - if anything I thought they could have been harder) and outside, where after all most guests probably spend most of their time, is a dream - Dozens of flowerpots with thriving flowers and herbs, Enough pretty places to sit that you can follow the sun or shade all day and everything kept immaculate by Dimitris' parents, who could not, with Dimitris, be better hosts. Location is perfect for reaching all towns and beaches and hiking destinations, and on a side road that, at least in October, no more than 10 cars pass a day, if that. I cannot recommend this place highly enough - we certainly hope to visit again!

This is one of the best places we ever have stayed. The house is beautiful, charming, and comfortable. It is not over-modernised, and still has real Greek charm and feel. We really loved this, particularly the out-door kitchen. The setting is peaceful and remote, with fine views of the mountains. Skopelos seems to have got busier over the last few years, but even in August we found real tranquility here. Although you need to drive to reach beaches and restaurants, the house is very central; everywhere is within fairly easy reach. We felt very relaxed and at home here immediately, and would love to return. Thank you Dimitris and your lovely parents for sharing this paradise.

Great Getaway

Cottage is as described online. It is a remote location so transportation is a must. We rented 4 wheelers and had a blast. About 8km from Skopelos town, its an easy drive in for dinner or shopping. The downstairs apartment has two BRs , a bath and kitchenette Upstairs is a BR, bath, full kitchen and living room. We lived primarily outside since was so well appointed Dimitris and his parents are wonderful hosts and took care of a small problem we had very quickly. Highly recommended.

Lovely and so peaceful

Great location for exploring the beautiful Island. Cottage was very clean and it was a lovely surprise to receive home cooked food and some home made wine from Dimitris's mother. The only downside was the double bed was really uncomfortable. Was a truly lovely holiday, just wish it was longer.

Peaceful and relaxing.

A real escape from everything if required. It has all one needs to remain in Blue Cottage for days without venturing out if you wish. Terraces, barbeque and pool made it self sufficient for us, venturing to supermarket every few days. Best beach in Limnonari, 15 minutes away where Apenema restaurant offers great food and service with a smile. The only comment we would make is the mattress in main bedroom we found to be a little hard. Otherwise the owners were kind and considerate, visiting every 3 days to clean and change linens. A wonderful cottage which holds sweet memeories.

Marvelous Holiday!

We had a very relaxed and wonderful time at the blue cottage :-). The house was very well equipped, we had all what we needed. All was functioning well and the barbeque outside was also very nice. All was very clean. The cottage is located in a quiet place in the mountains, there is no direct neighbour. We loved it! Thank you Dimitris and your nice family for making our stay there so lovely :-).

Wunderschöne Oase inmitten wilder Natur.

Inmitten der wunserschönen Insel Skopelos, ist das Cottage der perfekte Ausgangspunkt für jeden Ausflug: Ob Wanderung, kleine, charmante Dörfchen, Strände oder natürlich die imposante Sunset Tour mit dem Kajak am Milia Beach, all das ist von hier aus sehr gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Zum Bäcker und zum Supermarkt zu fahren ist zwar auch jedes Mal ein kleiner "Ausflug", aber so einsam zu wohnen nehmen wir hier gerne in Kauf, denn das Haus selber ist ein Idyll – die Bilder zeigen alles so wie es ist, es ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und sauber. Herzlichen Dank nochmal an die immer sehr hilfsbereiten Vermieter.

Magic

We had a wonderful time in the Blue Cottage. Surrounded by nature, it is a perfect place to enjoy the beauty of Scopelos away from the crowd. Our children loved the pool! Dimitris and his family are lovely, welcoming and easygoing people! We left their family cottage with fond memories of the magic moments we spent there. We can only recomend this place! Thank you! 🙂

Lantlig idyll i lugn miljö

Huset är charmigt, har 3 bra sovrum och ett kök som går utmärkt att använda. Det som verkligen står ut är ytorna utomhus med utmärkta möjligheter till att antingen sitta i solen eller njuta av miljön i skydd från solen. Poolen är väldigt fin och var en självklar samlingsplats för oss efter vi varit på stranden. Allting är mycket välskött och man kommer och städar vart 3-4:e dag. Vi är mycket nöjda med vår tid, jag har varit där med min tonårsdotter i 2 veckor och vi fick lugnet vi var ute efter. Kan absolut rekommenderas men man skall ha med i beräkningen att bil krävs.
