"We chose Hotel Rene as it looked more our style, a bit more relaxed and a homely feel. Our instinct was right. What a wonderful hotel, small, charming, good amenities and wonderful owners and staff. They could not do more to help if they tried. Exactly what we wanted and needed. We really enjoyed sitting on our balcony taking in the excellent view, chilling by the nicely sized pool (reasonsbly rare in Skiathos town). It is a short walk to the beach (5-10mins), and also very quick to town (10-15mins depending where you want to go). The bus stop is just at the bottom of the road to explore the island (very convenient), and right next to that is the Super Market for anything you might need. That being said the Hotel also has a reasonably priced store for any food, water or other drinks you might need. I would definitely look at staying here again when visiting Skiathos. You may have noticed others saying the hotel is situated on top of a hill, the upside of this - great views and a very easy walk to town or the beach! The downside is of course coming back. I must say if you are of low-moderate fitness (like me) this should be manageable for most people. It is 2-3 minutes of a steep up hill then you're done. If you have mobility issues it may not be advisable, but taxis will take you from the town for 10€. Please don't let this put you off, but you should be aware of it. It didn't worry us, and we did not regret it our choice!"

"Good clean accommodation in walking distance of the port. Friendly hosts"

"Spacious villa with great outdoor space, but some downsidesThe villa was roomy with excellent outdoor seating and a lovely pool. However, even for a group of four (though it sleeps six), the kitchen was under-equipped—too few glasses and not enough pots or pans to cook proper meals. The beds were also uncomfortable and very creaky, which affected our sleep. A car is essential due to the location. With some upgrades to the kitchen and beds, this could be a great stay."

"Villa Selini is amazing and is set on a hillside with lovely views across Skiathos. Its spacious and clean with a well stocked kitchen and lots of storage space in the bedrooms most importantly fabulous air conditioning which is a must after a day at the beach! There are lovely open balconies off all the bedrooms and also on the top floor off the living room and kitchen. For us the villa was positioned perfectly and we enjoyed walking down hill to collect the car every morning often stopping off at Ariston bakery which sold amazing fresh pastries cakes and sandwiches! Bus stop 1 is just at the bottom of the hill should you wish to jump on to visit one of the lovely beaches further round the island! We did attempt to walk up the hill once - the walk up is definitely doable just not on the middle of the day! Once down the hill you are virtually 5 minutes away from the port and within a couple of minutes of a lovely fresh fruit and veg store and a well stocked supermarket The pool at the Villa is fantastic and big enough for all 10 of us to enjoy cooling off with a swim. We also used the downstairs apartment which gave extra space and facilities which was an added bonus! Any question we had or advice we needed was responded to within minutes Eleni was able to help us arrange a private boat trip around the island which was fabulous! We all had a fantastic time and will be back for sure! "

"Well what a gorgeous villa! The owner is lovely, so friendly and kind. Met us at the airport, very accommodating, gave us lots of recommendations for restaurants and taxi’s. Villa was so spacious, clean and tidy and had more than enough . The views were the best! Every room has a view! Up high looking from the infinity pool across the ocean. Met his daughter who was also lovely. And visited their lovely bar Main Street. Such a wonderful stay! Thank you so much x "
