Agravlis Country House Skopelos

We booked this place directly with the owner, Kostas, and he was very helpful before and during our trip, with plenty of advice, help in arranging car hire, and he even met us off the ferry and drove us to the villa himself ! The villa is located off the main road between Skopelos Town and Stafilos (slightly closer to Stafilos), in a rural area, and is set back a long way from the road in the middle of olive groves. I believe the villa is newly built, but looks traditional, and is perfectly sized for 4 people. It is in great condition, the grounds are very nice, and the pool is great - you will spend most of your time in or around it ! Some basic food items are there, as are all the pots, plates, cutlery etc. Just bring towels and toothbrushes ! There is a fridge/freezer and oven, washing machine, tv with satellite (but I couldnt get it to work), stereo, and aircon. We found the aircon to be a bit tempramental, but it generally worked OK. There is a shop just across the road, and a petrol station / supermarket about 1km towards town. You will need a car if you are staying here. We paid 85EUR per night, and this was excellent value between 4 people ! The only thing we disliked were the scary horseflies with green eyes (that you get everywhere on the island), and that was nothing to do with the villa itself ! I would recommend it, you can book on sto.st/~agravlis. cheers, JC.
