Ormos Villa Greece
Holiday Home Rental Description
Tucked away into the hillside of Palouki, surrounded by lush olive groves, with breathtaking views stretching out over the Aegean sea and towards Skópelos Town just 3km away. The location of Ormos Villas is simply stunning. Whether you partake in one of the beautiful ambling walks in the area to the nearest monastery or simply just want to soak up the tranquility of those superb vistas, you can’t fail to relax here at Ormos Villa.
These idyllic villas, all enjoying their own privacy, offer a comfortable haven with an attractive mixture of traditional and modern finishes. Built over several levels, with 3 bedrooms sleeping 6 people, they are perfect for a family or group of friends looking for a peaceful getaway. As you enter the property you’ll find a large split-level mezzanine with sliding doors concealing a charming twin bedroom. Only a few steps down will reveal the beautifully light and spacious living/ dining area, with abundant seating areas, lovely wooden finishes to the décor, a modern well-equipped kitchen and dining area eating 6. All of this leads on to the front balcony, boasting a delightful shaded seating from which you can enjoy those stunning views out over the countryside and the crystal clear waters below.
Along with the large laundry room, the elegant master suite can be found down a further set of steps. Again boasting charming traditional features, from the Grecian tiled floor and slatted wardrobes to the king-sized cast iron bed, you’ll love retreating to this oasis at the end of a long day, especially in the luxury of the in-room bathtub some of the villas offer. When you wake up in the morning you can push open the vast set of French windows to let the warm gentle breeze float in.
Down the last set of steps you’ll discover the last of the bedrooms, another charmingly designed space offering twin beds, wardrobe and a lovely seating area. This room has the delight in offering direct access onto the impressive lower pool terrace and its magnificent view out onto green rolling hills and the bay of Skópelos Town. While surrounded with lush native shrubs and grasses you’ll want to relax on one of the reclining loungers, soaking up that view with an afternoon aperitif, before jumping in the luxurious pool to cool off. Just perfect!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.
