Set in beautiful gardens with spectacular views from its large balconies, Villa Selini was completely refurbished in 2025 and expanded to include an adjoining ground floor apartment with separate entrance. Now a 5-bedroom property, Villa Selini offers a fabulous opportunity for families or groups to enjoy its beautiful serene gardens, large private pool with children’s section, and multiple outdoor dining areas while having beaches, restaurants and skiathos town all on its doorstep. Villa Selini comprises a main villa set across the first and second floors, and an adjoining ground floor apartment with separate entrance, perfect for those with young children or mobility issues. There are three large bedrooms on the first floor of the main villa (2 king size and 1 twin). One of the king size rooms has an en suite with bath and there is also a large family bathroom on this level. All bedrooms have access to large balconies with garden views. Upstairs the second floor comprises a very large open plan living, dining and kitchen area. There is an open fireplace and there is also a guest toilet on this level. Large balconies on both sides of this floor offer on one side spectacular sea views across town and to smaller islands, and pool and garden views on the other. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a large outdoor dining area on one of the balconies. The ground floor apartment, accessed separately and on the other side of the property, has two bedrooms (1 king size and 1 twin) with a shared bathroom. It also boasts a very large open plan living/kitchen/dining area. There is also a cot and high chair available in the apartment. The villa has a large private swimming pool with children’s section, surrounded by a generous lounging area with 8 sunbeds and parasols. There is both a barbecue and pizza oven, with another outdoor dining area for post-swim evenings under the stars. The pool area is peaceful and surrounded by oleander trees, and the garden is beautifully done with colourful flowers, trees and nice landscaping. While you might feel secluded in this tranquil oasis, Skiathos town is only 5 min by car and the nearest beach, Mega Gialos, is only 3 min by car. Fantastic restaurants are only a 20 min walk away. Under new ownership in 2025, this already beautiful villa was completely refurbished and comes fully equipped with anything you might need for your stay. The fabulous Eleni, whose husband built the villa and who has managed it since that time, will tell you everything you need to know about the property and give you insider tips on how to make the most of your holiday in Skiathos.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### bernardo c. 23 Aug 2021 Liked: Communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### villa non villa a Skiathos Anche grazie all'annuncio e alle splendide foto che lo accompagnavano, le nostre aspettative erano elevate. Purtroppo, nonostante la casa fosse di buon livello, dall'annuncio ci attendevamo una villa singola di lusso, con relativo giardino e intera proprietà ad uso esclusivo. Così non è perché si tratta in realtà di un bell'appartamento su due piani con il piano terra ed il giardino occupato da altri. La piscina è in effetti ad uso esclusivo ma il contesto è aperto, tipo residence, non separato. I dintorni poi sono molto rurali, dalle foto questo non si capiva assolutamente: la proprietà confina con uno sfasciacarrozze (consigliamo uno sguardo con google maps!!) ed un campo dedicato alla pastorizia. La nostra terrazza dava sul mix sfasciacarrozze+pecore con in lontananza e laterale il mare. Inoltre anche a causa di un checkout tardivo da parte degli ospiti precedenti, la casa è stata pulita in maniera approssimativa prima del nostro arrivo. Alcune zanzariere erano rotte. La casa inoltre non era provvista di alcun detersivo per la pulizia: in generale magari far trovare un detersivo e uno straccio aiuta anche gli ospiti che altrimenti devono ricomprare tutto. Infine, sarebbe stato auspicabile trovare un paio di bottiglie di acqua, visto che siamo arrivati domenica 15 Agosto. ##### bernardo c.

Villa is immaculately clean and spacious. Eleni was always available to help, be it in person or mobile. Pool is large and plenty of space for sunbathing. Quite a few steps up to top levels of villa but lovely views. Thanks again Kenneth ##### Kenneth C.

This is my first time leaving a review for anywhere and purely down to how much Eleni and her family made us welcome and helped us on our first time on the lovely island. Villa is fantastic, free car fantastic, if you like hill walking, location is fantastic! Thank you Eleni and Skiathos... a wonderful holiday! ##### Andy R.

Stunning location, with amazing views! Just a beautiful island in total! Wouldn’t be the same without George’s regular visits! Will be back next year and the next!!!!!!!!!! ##### Alexandra K. Stayed 14 nights in Jun 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### pr j. 1 Jan 2012 #### Great! I was here with family and friends early in June 2011. The kitchen , bedroms, pool and terraces is quite new and well maintained. The outdoor space is great with lots of space for sundecks and barbeque around the pool The location is a bit of the main track, but we loved the fact that is was no noise from the traffic or bars. With a car everything on Skiathos is in reach within short time. This gives so much more value then booking 2-3 hotels rooms on the Island. I would go here again for visit.

The villas are a short 10 minutes drive from the airport - ideal to get the holiday off to as quick a start as possible. Very soon we were enjoying our superbly clean villa. The amenities are superb with marble used extensively to give a feeling of real luxury in the villas. The absence of a dishwasher was the only thing missing - it didn't affect our holiday since there were just the two of us. The private pool was fantastic as were the views from the balconies. The bedrooms were excellent and it was lovely to have two bathrooms - one each!! The cleaning staff were a bonus - we've not been on a holiday before where the accomodation is completely cleaned every day - and they wouldn't enter the villa if we were having breakfast or anything - they made sure they didn't disturb our privacy. Skiathos in May is a lovely place to visit and Eleni helped to point us in the direction of good quality, local tavernas. Our favourite was Panarmos up in the hills with a view to die for. All in all - we'd recommend the villas very highly and we are intending to return in the future. ##### Richard G.

Very well looked after by the owners and family, even dropped in some fresh salad and veg. Kept very clean inside and out with lovely plants and trees all around. Air conditioning very useful. Pool was warm and used all the time first time to skiathos and was very impressed, great town day and night, great places to eat, one local we used a few times with great views, also loved several in town on the harbourside. went to 4 of appriox 12 possible beaches and all very nice and not too big. We will be going back ##### Dean H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villa With Private Pool in Front of the Sea - 20 meters from the sea.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Villa-With-Private-Pool-In-Front-Of-The-Sea-20-Meters-From-The-Sea.h32817996.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandraki Village Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Mandraki-Village-Boutique-Hotel.h2591142.Hotel-Information) > > [Poseidon Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Poseidon-Villas.h9983141.Hotel-Information) > > [Oniro Skiathos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Oniro-Skiathos.h77089190.Hotel-Information) > > [Skiathos Living](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Skiathos-Luxury-Living.h22448675.Hotel-Information) > > [Filia Studios & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Filia-Studios-Apartments.h42512172.Hotel-Information) > > [Skiathos Avaton Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Skiathos-Avaton-Hotel.h40212207.Hotel-Information) > > [Fengeros Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Fengeros-Village.h38410647.Hotel-Information) > > [Koukias Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Koukias-Village.h13269103.Hotel-Information) > > [Esperides](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Esperides.h12319860.Hotel-Information) > > [Panorama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Panorama.h12591889.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Hotel-Punta.h18129155.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Rene](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Hotel-Rene.h12346772.Hotel-Information) > > [Skiathos Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Skiathos-Palace-Hotel.h889832.Hotel-Information) > > [La Luna Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-La-Luna-Hotel.h16816169.Hotel-Information) > > [Skopelos Holidays Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skopelos-Hotels-Skopelos-Holidays-Hotel-Spa.h5007748.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Christina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Villa-Christina.h9283106.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Blue Marine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Casa-Blue-Marine.h65526115.Hotel-Information) > > [Oasis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Oasis.h42512335.Hotel-Information) > > [Kassandra Bay Resort, Suites & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Kassandra-Bay-Resort.h1407279.Hotel-Information) > > [Alkyon Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Alkyon-Hotel.h21403870.Hotel-Information) > > [La Piscine Art Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-La-Piscine-Art-Hotel-Adults-Only.h1101903.Hotel-Information) > > [AMARANTHOS SKIATHOS VIEW](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Azalea-View-Amaranthos-Skiathos-Studios.h11093213.Hotel-Information) > > [Skiathos Somnia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Skiathos-Somnia.h13269066.Hotel-Information) > > [Astoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Astoria-Hotel.h5241272.Hotel-Information) > > [Skiathos Princess Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Skiathos-Princess-Resort.h3735252.Hotel-Information) > > [Green Meadow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Green-Meadow.h33227301.Hotel-Information) > > [KB Ammos-Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-KB-Ammos-Adults-Only.h23221875.Hotel-Information) > > [Stellina Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Stellina-Hotel.h2806504.Hotel-Information) > > [Bourtzi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Bourtzi-Hotel.h1227626.Hotel-Information)
