"Love this place. The staff, the hotel itself. Including location. My only niggle would be the usual towels on the beach sunbeds from early morning! And then people not appearing for hours to use the sun beds! No one seems to check that they are staying at the hotel either. Apart from that, everything is fab. I’ll be back for a 4th visit I’m sure"

"A delightful boutique hotel. Our second floor room had a balcony with a view of the gulf, first floor rooms open onto the central terrace. WiFi and AC were excellent. We had the to-order breakfast the last morning and wished we had done the same sooner. The seaside promenade downtown is a short walk away, with a beach, restaurants and markets. Although it was hot in early September, there are fireplaces for when the Pelion cools in the winter. An enjoyable out of the way stay."

"We had a lovely first night here and it was a great start to our holiday. Our room was clean, comfortable and overlooked the swimming pool, with direct access straight out onto the pool area. The pool had lovely sun loungers and a beautiful sea view and the beach was only a short walk away. Breakfast was excellent, with a great choice of food and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel was also very conveniently located, around a 15-minute walk from Skiathos Town or just a few minutes by bus. The only slight downside was the shower, as water tended to spread across the bathroom floor when it was being used. This was only a minor issue though and overall we had a very comfortable stay and a lovely, welcoming start to our holiday."

"The location was perfect for visiting central Skiathos well being far enough away from the bustle. Staff were outstanding. Breakfast was excellent. Only negative was that the half shower door would not seal or stay in place. Combined with a hanging hand shower that could not be adjusted it resulted in a significant amount of water to clean up off the bathroom floor each time one of us showered."
