Villa Eleonorae has an incredible view and it gets the sun from morning until the sun goes down. A homely and comfortable villa, creating a holiday vibe in a wonderful setting. It is modern, yet in keeping with the local architecture. Named after the falcons that swoop over its elevated position above the unspoiled hill village of Glossa (only 1.8km away with shops and tavernas). Its secluded location feels private, despite its proximity to the beaches, the port, the Mamma Mia church and the village itself. There are incredible walks from the door through untouched country side to the Mama Mia church or even to Skopelos town. The villa is not overlooked by anything. The panoramic view takes in the islands of Evia, Skiathos and the Pelion and to the mainland, as far as Mt Parnassus and closer to home down to the village of Glossa and its port of Loutraki. The villa itself is built by hand in the traditional style of the island, with open-beamed ceilings of chestnut and pine, wooden balconies and tiled roofs, complemented by a modern clean touch and up-to-date fittings and equipment. It is a truly unforgettable experience.

Bedrooms:
The main bedroom has a super king size double bed and an en-suite bathroom. The view through double doors looks out over the garden and beyond over the Aegean. The terrace outside leads to the garden and there are seats and a table there offering another place to relax. This light and airy room is decorated with paintings and it has a painted wooden ceiling. There is a full length mirror and plenty of storage space for clothes and suitcases. All the sheets, large pillows and towels are from the White Company. There is of course two way air conditioning to cool you down or heat you up.

A double door leads into the second bedroom which has two single beds that can be adjoined to make a super king size bed. It is colourful, light and airy and also has a painted ceiling. This bedroom also shares a similar view to the main bedroom and also has double doors leading out to a terrace with a great view to wake up to. The wardrobe is has ample space and there is also a full length mirror and two way air conditioning.

Bathrooms:
Both bathrooms have good showers with marble finishes, toilets with automatic lids and basins set in teak. Complete with White company towels.

Kitchen:
Well appointed, airy kitchen and living area, with views to the swimming pool, access to the extensive covered veranda and yard. The equipment includes electric cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, hard wood work surfaces, double sink and good quality utensils.

Utility Room:
Located downstairs and home to the heating system, whirlpool and LG washing machines, freezer, cool boxes, ironing board, drying rack and first aid cabinet.

Living Rooms:
The living is on the 1st floor, and opens up to the extensive balcony. Open plan, with an attractive open wooden ceiling, it is well appointed with a fireplace, wifi, DVD/stereo system, ipod dock. Comfortable furnishings and rugs. It opens onto the veranda at the front of the house and the yard at the rear.

Other:
There are lots of outside spaces to choose from whether it is for sunbathing or for shade. Outside
The house has been specifically designed to offer guests the maximum benefit of outdoor living. The hard wood veranda runs along two sides of the villa and faces south west. The front veranda measures 3m wide x 9m long it provides a perfect space to entertain and dine alfresco whilst taking in the stunning view over loutraki harbour and the bay beyond. The barbecue area has a fridge, sink and a large user friendly barbecue that also has an electric rotisserie. So whether its a few sardines or a whole goat and three chickens on the menu this set up will deliver!
The yard at the rear of the villa is next to the barbecue. This is the main entrance to the villa from the car park area. Large double doors open onto this area with its pergola and dining area that allow for a cool, relaxed dining alternative when the sun is at its zenith. The veranda is reached through the double doors from the living area. It also leads around the side of the house to the barbecue area and the dining area in the yard at the rear of the villa.

The property is cleaned once a week, more if required for a small additional charge.
Maid/Concierge service available - additional charge. The pool is maintained every two days to ensure that it is in good condition.

Accessibility
Due to the situation of the property on the apex of a hill, and the steep slopes around the house, it is not suitable for wheelchair users, or indeed people with mobility difficulties. There are stairs inside and outside as it is a two storey villa. This is worth taking in to consideration if you are not accustomed to stairs. Car hire is necessary in order to get around and to explore , a Suzuki Jimny is a good option. I can recommend a local car hire family run company which will deliver the car to the port of your arrival and collect from your departure port. On arriving on the island you be met and brought to the villa and then shown around. There is always help and advice on hand if you need it in order to make your stay a memorable and pleasurable one.

The private swimming pool measures 8x4m and looks out over the bay. It is located at the side of the villa on a split level. It has steps leading into it and a shallow and deep end. There are five wooden sun beds, low tables, umbrellas and a large cushioned bench. There is an outside shower and an orange tree at the far end of this area and next to it stone steps that lead up to the terrace above. The pool area is enclosed tastefully by railings, with a latched gate to restrict access by underage children. The property extends to 2.5 acres set out in terraces, gardens and trees, so providing guests with privacy and space.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Wonderful house with spectacular view
We had a wonderful spring vacation in Glossa, in Shane's villa. The island of Skopelos is beautiful, the house is charming and very comfortable with a view of the sea, trees and islands that we never tire of. We particularly appreciated the swimming pool and outdoor facilities. Thanks to Shane's invaluable advice and attention to detail, we had a wonderful stay.

Erhohlsam
Wir haben uns gut erhohlt. Die Lage ist sehr schön. Die Einrichtung müsste dringend etwas mehr gepflegt oder erneuert werden. Der Pool war super gepflegt. Wir haben ihn jeden Tag genutzt.

Back again to the most magical place!
This is our second trip to Villa Eleanore, after a wonderful stay 4 years ago. And it's better than ever! The location is magical - up a steep and bumpy track to the top of the hill, enabling unparalleled views over the neighbouring islands, and the most beautiful sunsets you'll ever see. The villa itself is simple and small but perfectly formed, with a covered verandah allowing ample space to while away sleepy hours in a hammock, do some sea-view yoga, or watch the sunset with a glass of wine and a game of backgammon. There's a fabulous outdoor kitchen with a shady eating area. The pool is perfect and the terrace is a sun trap all afternoon and into the evening. Below the house the garden stretches down the hill, peppered with fruit trees and herbs. Plenty of fresh figs to pick for breakfast with local honey and Greek yoghurt. Behind the house you can walk along a track through the pine covered hills. Glossa is a short drive (or a hot, steep walk!) away. The people in the tiny local supermarket and the few other shops and restaurants in the town are friendly and generous. We felt incredibly welcome. A truly special place that we'll remember forever.

About the host

Hosted by Shane Jackson

Host profile image
I am from Ireland and have been coming to Skopelos since 2004. I have always enjoyed traveling and when I came to Skopelos in 2004 I liked it so much that when the opportunity came to build a villa here I seized it.

Why they chose this property

The land on which Villa Eleonora is built is in a private location, off a road that meanders into the interior of the island which is mainly forested. There are no buildings beside the property or within sight in the immediate area. to The left of the property and at the front it is designated forestry and on the right and behind families farm vines and fruit trees. Its a peaceful, private and tranquil place that I am always eager to return too.

The villa was completed in 2008 and I have been letting the property since 2010.

What makes this property unique

I enjoy the Greek Island lifestyle, the people and the beauty that Skopelos gives to everyone. The villa enjoys literally breathtaking unspoilt views, of forest, sea, islands and the mainland beyond. It is never the same for any two days and a joy to watch from the hammock on the veranda. New guests sometimes take a moment to catch their breath having seen the view for the first time from the veranda. It nice to know that you can look out on the same view from both of the bedrooms when you wake up!

For walking or mountain biking it is perfect as there are tracks leading in different directions through the forest to both sides of the island whether it is to Agios Iaonnis the ‘Mamma Mia' church or to the other side of the island for the true adventurers. The village of Glossa is also very close by with various amenities including super markets and restaurants and ease of access to beaches nearby.

Locally there is Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) company, which offers a fun and relaxing way to play in the water. Standing upright on a SUP board allows you to enjoy the beautiful island scenery as well as a spectacular view down through the clear blue Aegean Sea. Gliding over gentle waves, watching the fish swim beneath your feet, can truly provide the sensation of walking on water. Skopelos stand up paddle boarding offer coaching sessions and tours.

There is also a dive company on the island from Panormos. This is run in a very professional and friendly manner. I highly recommend both of these activities and guests who have tried thes activities have loved their expieriences.
