Lavender Cottage Greece

Nestled into the lush green hillside only 3km from Skópelos town and the blue tranquil waters of the Aegean Sea, this chic cottage getaway is the perfect haven for families or groups of friends who enjoy a peaceful countryside location with all modern comforts.  And being less than a kilometer away from two of the Island’s best beaches (Stafilos and Velanio) you are only minutes away from diving into those crystal clear waters!
This charming and stylish cottage sleeps 6 people over 4 attractively designed bedrooms. As you enter you’ll appreciate the light neutral tones of the cosy living area, with comfortable seating positioned around a traditional fireplace. Off this you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen and dining area seating 6 people. On the same level there is a pleasant single room and separate bathroom with shower.
Take the staircase to the upper level and you’ll find another bathroom and 3 beautiful double bedrooms, all light and spacious, offering fresh modern decor yet lovely traditional touches. Two of these benefit from balcony doors that open out onto a fantastic sun terrace, from which you can enjoy your morning coffee whilst appreciating stunning views right out across the countryside and even Stafilos beach beyond.  The last bedroom boasts a traditional wall-to-wall bed, and access to its own private balcony making this wonderful space ideal for retreating to after a long day exploring the local area.
The exterior to this superb property offers the perfect space in which to while away the long warm Grecian afternoons. Surrounded by olive trees and a grape vine running the length of the terrace, with views over lush green vegetation, you’ll feel truly secluded in this idyllic haven.  A luxurious pool and relaxing sun loungers provide a heavenly antidote to the glorious sunshine. And a stylish dining area and BBQ mean that al fresco suppers can be relished on the balmiest of evenings.With jaw dropping landscapes, crystal clear waters, traditional architecture and more vegetation than any other Island in Greece, no wonder Skópelos was chosen as the location for the smash Hollywood film Mamma Mia!
Accessed by an hour ferry ride from neighbouring Skiathos, you’ll be glad you went that extra mile once you arrive on this wonderful Island.  With lush rolling hills, covered with fragrant pine trees, stunning coastal scenery, time-forgotten pastoral towns and beautiful monasteries and chapels dotting the landscape you’ll be transported to another world.
Skópelos town, one of the most beautiful ports in the country with a sprawling hillside, ruined Venetian fortress and dozens of chapels, has plenty of restaurants, shops and cafes to keep you entertained.  But its relaxed attitude can be surmounted in the old boys playing backgammon over coffee at every turn.
Skópelos has an abundance of beautiful sun-drenched beaches, backed by uninterrupted stretches of pine-covered coastline. Although those on Skópelos are largely shingle or pebble, they are picturesque, framed by rocky green hills, and quiet havens on which to soak up the Grecian sun. It’s advisable to have a car on the Island, as the nearest good beaches to the area around Skópelos town are Stafilos and Velanio, roughly 6km away.  Although you can swim at the foot of the hill just before entering the town.
So whether you’re enjoying the calming waters of the Aegean Sea, visiting a nearby monastery or perhaps going further a field with a day trip to neighbouring Islands Skiathos or Aiónissos, you’ll always find something to keep everyone happy.
