INTERIOR
- MAIN HOUSE
This traditional house has been decorated and lovingly restored
into a unique and quaint country home. Entering from the private
front terrace with fantastic views, a door leads into a long kitchen
and corner dining area which is open plan to a raised sitting room.
The floors are traditional stone tile and the ceilings have open
wood beams. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking your favourite
meals with plenty of counter space and is decorated in a country
island style. The
round dining table has comfortable seating with a built-in sofa
area and cushioned chairs. Stepping up three stairs, you enter a
cosy sitting room with a corner fireplace.
 |
The traditional island decor, mixed with trinkets from far away
travels, gives it a character all its own. The corner sofa seating
is full of big cushions to curl up with a good book or take an afternoon
siesta. From the sitting room, a stone stairway ascends to the second
level. At the top of the stairs is a landing where you will also
find a door providing a second entrance to the house. Also found
on the landing is a w/c with hand basin and entrance to a small
room with a single bed, suitable for a child. |
 |
To reach the master bedroom you must pass through this small room. The spacious master bedroom has a beautiful elevated sleeping  platform and gives an exotic impression, with large comfortable pillows and mosquito netting. The en-suite bathroom has bath, wardrobe and storage. This bedroom has wooden flooring and high open-beamed ceilings with French doors leading onto a balcony with some of the most stunning views to be found on the island. With an intense blue sea outlining the islands in the distance and the port of Loutraki below, it is an unmatched spot for tranquillity and beauty.
A second bedroom attached to the main house is situated directly next to the kitchen with its own outside entrance. This bedroom is furnished with a small double bed (120m in width) and is decorated in the same style as the main house. It has an en-suite w/c shower room and has easy access to the front terrace and the pool area.
GUEST HOUSE
From the front terrace of the main house there is access by a path
to the stone built guesthouse, boasting its’ own terrace overlooking
the sea and port town of Loutraki.
This very private small cottage is again decorated with the same
quaint country style as the main house and offers comfortable accommodation
for two. It comprises an open plan bedroom with double bed and a
kitchenette for the preparation of simple meals. In the kitchen
area is also a washing machine, a wardrobe and the wc/shower room
is reached from a door off the kitchen.

EXTERIOR
Villa Thalia is the picture of a quaint country house; white
with sea green shutters and pretty flowers growing in terracotta
pots.
The picturesque vine-covered front terrace can be used for outdoor
dining and its convenient location just outside the kitchen makes
serving a breeze.
The spectacular view makes this a favourite spot and leaving the
villa can be a difficult task. Perhaps the only place that is more
appealing is the kidney-shaped swimming pool, which seems to be
suspended in air high above the sea.
|
| It is situated in one of the best positions on the property,
enjoying a panoramic view to Skiathos and the neighboring islands.
Certainly the sunsets at Villa Thalia are one of its’ most outstanding
attractions and brings visitors back time and again to this exquisite
setting. |

SURROUNDINGS
Villa Thalia is located in the most quiet and un-commercialised
area of the island. Situated between Klima and Glossa, most
visitors to this area of the island are day-trippers.
Glossa, the islands' second largest town, has a marked difference
to Skopelos town. Its picturesque cobbled streets and interesting
architecture gives the impression of being mostly untouched
by tourism. Its distance from Skopelos though, means that
it is self-supporting and has all the necessities to hand
including bakery, butcher, pharmacy and doctor. Glossa also
boasts one of the most popular and upmarket tavernas found
on the island.
Loutraki is also a short distance from the house, down the
winding main road from Glossa and serves as the secondary
port to the island. Here you will find a quaint waterfront
lined with tavernas, some hanging just over the waters’ edge.
Loutraki has a shorter season than Skopelos and is only fully
open from June to mid-September.
Walking is a favorite pastime for visitors to Villa Thalia,
with walks to the church of Ag. Anargiri only 10 minutes from
the house and from there down to the sea and Loutraki another
20 minutes, where you can have a refreshing swim. A short
drive away (approx 3.5klms) is the unspoilt beach of Armenopetra
and a little further, some of the islands best beaches at
Hovolo, Milia and Kastani. |

SUITABILITY
Villa Thalia is the perfect place for a secluded, romantic
getaway. Its private guest house is also an excellent addition
for two couples or a family wishing to enjoy the quiet beauty
of rural Greece. Villa Thalia combines a touch of luxury and
simple elegance in a traditional country pool villa.
