Sofia's Escape - Skopelos

ABOUT

- Perched on a sun-drenched hill, this is a place you go to if you wish to leave the world behind. A place to get away from city life and back to nature. You could easily lose track of time here.

- If you are looking for an authentic experience within an organic land, while taking advantage of everything Skopelos island has to offer, this is a place to base yourself and explore.

- Our guests so far have come from Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Italy, UK and Ukraine. Some reviews appear on this page.

LIVING AREA WITH DINING AND KITCHEN

- Cosy modular sofa (chaise longue) for seating, sleeping and storage needs. It unfolds to make a single bed (80cmx200cm) for a 3rd guest, more suitable for a teenager rather than an adult.

- Just refurbished, the well fitted kitchen offers quartz countertop with sink, and is equipped with full size fridge/freezer, glass cooktop with oven and extractor hood, microwave oven, kettle, toaster, coffee maker and clothes washing machine.

- Kitchen cupboards are fully stocked with all the utensils, pots, pans and dinnerware you will need to make any home-cooked meal.

- Complimentary staple items include: organic olive oil from our own trees, local herbs, salt and pepper, vinegar, filter coffee, and more. Also, table linen, paper napkins, tea towels, dish detergent and sponge, shopping bags, etc.

- The kitchen tap has a filter for good water quality and avoiding buying bottled water.

- Included in kitchen cabinets, there is a clothes washing machine and complimentary washing machine tablets.

- Your own flower pot, just outside the front door of the apartment, offers fresh garden mint (spearmint) to use as a culinary herb to make sauces or to accompany vegetable dishes, meat or fish.

PRIVATE TERRACE

- Off the kitchen door, it is equipped with comfortable garden furniture to enjoy breakfast, al-fresco meals and wonderful views across the pine covered hills of Stafylos area.

- You are protected from the sunshine all day long, since the parasols can be tilted. You can adjust the height of the parasols to perfectly suit the space.

GUEST ACCESS

- From the parking area at the entrance of the land, access to house is via a pretty steep footpath of 80 meters length, and for this reason the apartment isn't suitable for elderly guests, people with walking difficulties, and ladies with high heels (flat shoes only please, you can leave your high heels in the car).

- From the main road that skirts the island, access to the property is via a dirt road (NO asphalt).

- Please note that local taxi drivers do not operate on dirt roads.

- Local car rental offices offer cars suitable for the rural roads of the island. Prior to your arrival, I can assist on renting a vehicle from our local agency at a reasonable price, if you wish so. For motorbike rental, a driving license is required.

- If you come with your own car, we do not recommend a vehicle with vulnerable tires for dirt roads (very low profile and /or wheels).

- Tap "Location" and then tap "Read more" for detailed information about the neighborhood and getting around.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

- This house is the kind of place you go to if you wish to unwind, get away from city life and back to nature. There is no TV here.

- Our cotton linen and towels are home washed with care, dried under the Greek sun and hand ironed.

- All windows and doors are equipped with functional, easy to use insect screens.

- Although our family home is just above, the layout of the apartment makes it feel private, with a relaxing atmosphere, its own entrance and private front balcony.
