Über diese villaUnterkunft
Pool villa close to Glossa village, tavernas and beaches.
Villa Eleonorae hat eine unglaubliche Aussicht und es bekommt die Sonne vom Morgen bis zum Sonnenuntergang. Eine heimelige und komfortable Villa, die eine Urlaubsstimmung in einer wundervollen Umgebung schafft. Es ist modern, aber im Einklang mit der lokalen Architektur. Benannt nach den Falken, die über seine erhöhte Position über dem unberührten Bergdorf Glossa (nur 10 Minuten entfernt mit seinen Geschäften und Tavernen) stürzen. Die abgeschiedene Lage ist trotz der Nähe zu den Stränden, dem Hafen, der Mamma Mia Kirche und dem Dorf sehr privat und die Villa wird von nichts übersehen. Der Panoramablick reicht von den Inseln Euböa, Skiathos und Pilion bis hin zum Festland, bis zum Berg Parnass und näher zum Dorf Glossa und seinem Hafen Loutraki. Die Villa selbst wird von Hand im traditionellen Stil der Insel gebaut, mit offenen Balkendecken aus Kastanien- und Kiefernholz, Holzbalkonen und Ziegeldächern, ergänzt durch eine moderne, saubere Note und zeitgemäße Ausstattung. Es ist eine wirklich unvergessliche Erfahrung.

Die Terrasse draußen führt zum Garten und dort sind Sitze und ein Tisch, der einen anderen Platz zum Entspannen bietet. Dieses helle und geräumige Zimmer ist mit Gemälden dekoriert und verfügt über eine bemalte Holzdecke. Es gibt einen Ganzkörperspiegel und viel Stauraum für Kleidung und Koffer. Alle Bettwäsche, große Kissen und Handtücher stammen von der White Company. Für die heiße Jahreszeit gibt es eine Klimaanlage, um Sie abzukühlen.
Eine Doppeltür führt in das zweite Schlafzimmer mit zwei Einzelbetten, die zu einem Super-Kingsize-Bett verbunden werden können. Es ist bunt, hell und luftig und hat auch eine bemalte Decke. Dieses Schlafzimmer hat auch eine ähnliche Aussicht auf das Hauptschlafzimmer und hat auch Doppeltüren, die auf eine Terrasse hinausgehen, von der aus man einen schönen Blick hat. Der Kleiderschrank hat viel Platz und es gibt auch einen Ganzkörperspiegel und eine Klimaanlage.

Das Haus wurde speziell entworfen, um Gästen den maximalen Nutzen des Lebens im Freien zu bieten. Die Veranda aus hartem Holz verläuft an zwei Seiten der Villa und ist nach Südwesten ausgerichtet.

Zugänglichkeit
Aufgrund der Lage des Grundstücks auf der Spitze eines Hügels und der steilen Abhänge um das Haus ist es nicht für Rollstuhlfahrer oder Menschen mit eingeschränkter Mobilität geeignet. Es gibt Treppen innen und außen, da es sich um eine zweistöckige Villa handelt. Dies ist eine Überlegung wert, wenn Sie nicht an Treppen gewöhnt sind. Ein Auto mieten ist notwendig, um herumzukommen und zu erkunden, ein Suzki Jimney ist eine gute Option. Ich kann eine lokale Autovermietung empfehlen, die das Auto an den Hafen Ihrer Ankunft liefert und von Ihrem Abfahrtshafen abholt.
Das private Schwimmbad misst 8x4m und blickt auf die Bucht. Es befindet sich an der Seite der Villa auf zwei Ebenen. Es hat Stufen und ein flaches und tiefes Ende. Es gibt fünf hölzerne Sonnenliegen, niedrige Tische, Sonnenschirme und eine große gepolsterte Bank. Es gibt eine Außendusche und einen Orangenbaum am Ende dieses Bereichs und daneben eine Steintreppe, die zur darüberliegenden Terrasse führt. Der Poolbereich ist geschmackvoll von Geländern umgeben, mit einem verriegelten Tor, um den Zugang für minderjährige Kinder einzuschränken. Das Anwesen erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von 2,5 Hektar, die sich auf Terrassen, Gärten und Bäumen befindet und den Gästen Privatsphäre und Raum bietet.

Great holidays. Very nice house and amazing view.
10.0 / 10.0
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.

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.

Wonderful stay
We couldn't have asked for more from the villa. The views are even better than the photos - unbelievable sunsets day after day. The villa is very private, but only a 5 minute drive from Glossa town (or 30 minute walk) and close to lovely beaches. The pool was immaculate and the whole place is surrounded by greenery. The house is very comfortable and well equipped inside and out - great bed and shower! Lots of outside seating areas and a fantastic barbecue. Shane has created a very special place and we felt lucky to spend a week there. Only wish it could have been longer!

Villa with a View
This is a stunning property with views to die for. It is in such a peaceful location and the villa itself has been beautifully designed and put together by the owner. It is called Eleonora after the Eleonara falcons which we observed throughout our two week stay, it was a wonderful experience to watch the buzzards and falcons from the swimming pool or outside shower. The pool is great too - we're coming back!!!

Just fabulous
Villa Eleanorae is as spectacular as the photos suggest. Perched on a hill overlooking Skiathos and the wider Aegean, the views change with the passage of the sun, until sunset when the islands become hazy and the sun dips behind the mountains of the mainland. It is breathtaking every night. And the villa’s pretty top notch too - beautiful, very clean pool, great sun loungers, fab outdoor shower with a window to the view, lovely balcony for lunch and dinner, and great bedrooms and bathrooms all with the view. And we got to share our holiday with the cutest family of cats - mum, dad and one kitten - who were always hanging around looking cute and seeing if there were any treats going. For all this you have to be ready to drive up a very steep hill, so take Shane’s advice and hire a Suzuki Jimny 4x4, but if you like walking there are some lovely trails over and around the hill, all with great views to both sides of the island. Both Eleni and Shane were great too, and the owners of the supermarket athanasiou in the village were also fab, so friendly and have everything you need. All in all a brilliant choice for a quiet, relaxing week in beautiful Skopelos.

I think everything has already been said about the amazing views, the well appointed and comfortable villa, the friendly people, the cats, the local restaurants etc........
We had a wonderful relaxing holiday and we hope to return one day - this has also already been said!
Shane was extremely helpful with all aspects of our holiday and this was much appreciated.
Many thanks for a very memorable holiday!

Believe everything about views and location. Perfect and breathtaking. Do not believe the pictures of the property itself. Maybe once. Not now. The 12 feral cats had enjoyed the off white chair cushions to the point that we didn't enjoy them. No pictures of the stairs to the bedrooms and baths. They are very steep and very narrow. Bathrooms are most adequate. Mold and mildew in the shower less offensive in smaller bath. Outdoor kitchen almost as pictured. Reality includes a bucket and mops and a couple of moldy brushes. Pool is as depicted. Wonderful. We visited late in the season. Gardens and pots in need of attention. Jasmine still blooming and welcoming. Orange tree laden with fruit. Lots of lavender. Cyclamen running wild.Town of Glossa deserves mention. Grocer, butcher and baker all closeby and eager to welcome you. Upper town like a little Santorini. Never saw a selfie stick. The port of Loutraki is an easy drive. Best restaurant if Flisvos. Right at the water's edge.We toured various parts of the island each day. Beautiful. Off the main road a bit challenging but part of the adventure. Never had a bad lunch. House wine doable everywhere. Bottom line is we were disappointed with the house because it wasn't what we had been anticipating. Had we not been set up for a 5+ star experience we would not be so critical. It's Greece. Relax your standards and soak up the ambience. Just feel a bit taken advantage of. Shane was responsive to our issues. Mostly they were not resolved but became less important as time moved on. It is a jewel of a place. Deserves better care. We would not revisit nor would we recommend it to friends.

Exceptional customer care, fabulous view..
The villa is very well designed and appointed and comfortable with everything one could want. It's in an exceptional quiet location with a fabulous view.
We had a minor water pressure problem which was quickly resolved via a couple of e mails to Shane including a Saturday call by the plumber.
Unfortunately on the last day of our holiday my wife became ill and had to have an emergency medical evacuation by boat in the middle of the night to Volos on the mainland. Our half packed luggage, unpacked gifts and passports were left behind. Absolutely everything we had left was thoughtfully and carefully packed and put into store and then delivered to me at the port at Loutraki when I travelled back to collect them some days later ; and if necessary would have been sent to the mainland. Shane and Anthouli (the villa manager) kept in touch throughout and we owe them and the cleaners who packed up an enormous "Thank you" Customer care was absolutely exceptional.

A little slice of heaven on earth
With so many positive write ups from previous visitors, the pressure was on. Villa Eleonorae did not disappoint.
The view is utterly breath taking. The way the colours, depth and visibility alter with time of day and weather make it an amazing and constantly changing backdrop for your holiday. The villa has many places from which to take in its glory.
The beds are quite firm but comfortable and the bedding is soft and lovely. The cot worked perfectly for our 20-month-old.
The villa has everything you’d want. Anthoula and her sister were helpful, thoughtful and efficient.
Poolside was stunning, the pool clean and crystal clear. There are lots of pool toys to play with (fins, goggles, body boards, flumps etc).
Glossa is a lovely town once you find it ... if you are expecting to be able to drive through you will miss it as we did on the first night. Park by the well stocked and friendly supermarket, walk past the amazing bakery and take a right turn at the taxi rank into the pedestrianised centre of town. We ate at Agnanti, which was quite smart and had great modern Greek cuisine (and the best retsina!), but the place we went back to was Louki, the kebab place in the middle of town. Sit outside, watch the world go by and eat something more traditional and delicious.
Giannis from MagicCars was wonderful and informative, and gave us some more recommendations, including a beach taverna called Korali in Agnontas, where our ferry was unexpectedly diverted to on arrival.
We had two days of stormy weather - proper thunder and lightning which we watched move along the channel between Skopelos and Skiathos from the balcony. The bad weather gave us the opportunity to tour around the island - it’s worth taking a drive across the middle of the island to see the amazing landscape. Signposting is a bit of an issue here and there, so you need to pay attention, but the views are wonderful and not at all what you might expect from a Greek island.
When planning your trip make sure to book your ferry tickets well in advance. We didn’t and ended up on a very early return ferry which made our last day very long. Also check the ferry times will work with your flights. Ferry’s seem to run mostly in the early morning and then from mid afternoon, which doesn’t necessarily fit with tourist flight times.
We were sorry to leave our bit of paradise. Make sure to take time to lie in the hammock on the balcony and soak up the view!

A cosy villa with an amazing view
Villa Eleonora is a lovely comfortable house, fully equipped and well designed with a great pool and most of them a balcony where you can see amazing sunsets on the Agean Sea. The garden is beautiful too, full of fruits and herbs bushes. Shane gives particular attention to his house, and the staff, Eleni and Anthoula, is warm and caring.
One of our favorite place to stay. We will come back!

We love everything in Villa Eleonorae !
We had a wonderful time in Villa Eleonorae. The villa is fully fitted, cleaned and well maintained with a lovely balcony, a pool and a beautiful garden too (lots of fruits and herbs bushes). The villa is designed with respect of the Greek style but modern. And with particular attentions : a bottle of greek wine, Sporades soaps ...
The view is amazing for sunsets (of course) but also in the morning : taking your breakfast with a large view on the sea with Skiathos island and the Pelion in the background is just amazing. We do not get tired !
The villa is closed to Glossa and beaches, so it is not difficult to move around.
We will come back, for sure !

Wonderful pool, stunning views & peaceful location
We had a wonderful week in Villa Eleonorae. The pool was fantastic, the villa very comfortable and well equipped, but the views... I'm still dreaming about those views. They do not disappoint. We spent many a happy hour reading in the shade of the veranda watching the boats come and go and soaking up the view. The pool was almost in constant use and was kept lovely and clean.
It was only a 5 minute drive down to the very pretty town of Glossa with it's supermarket and restaurants, and yet the villa itself was incredibly peaceful. It was also a very good spot to explore the northern end of the island.
There were a couple of kittens and adult cats at the villa when we arrived. I wouldn't say that any of us were huge fans of cats, but once we started feeding them (as requested in the visitors' book!), they settled in well and were part of the family by the end of the week. We have been converted!
A huge thank you to Anthoula for her warm and friendly welcome. We arrived quite late and yet she met us at Glossa port to take us to the villa because our hire car wasn't delivered until the Saturday morning. Furthermore she stopped on the way so we could get some much needed provisions. She got back to us really quickly about any queries we had during the week too, so thank you so much Anthoula for making our stay even better!
I would definitely recommend Villa Eleonoae to a friend or relative.

Pure bliss!
Probably our most enjoyable stay ever in a holiday house anywhere. Really deserves six stars!
The house is beautifully designed, everything of the highest quality, nothing forgotten and with many attractive personal touches. As commented upon by other reviewers, the view from its elevated position is fantastic. It is very much on its own on the hillside with beautiful surroundings. No sound apart from cicadas, birds and crickets at night.
It is a naturist's dream - two kestrels nesting in a pine 100 yards from the house, beautiful Eleanora's falcons (one evening I saw seven together in the sky above and around the house), buzzards, swifts, swallows and many others. One day driving through the forest nearby a large pine marten crossed the track right in front of us in broad daylight. The next day, driving home from an evening in Loutraki, coming up the track we saw another
male pine marten and 50 yards further on two more sets of reflected eyes - mother and baby!
We have been to Skopelos many times before and it is the most beautiful wooded island.
Glossa( 5 minutes) is a very traditional village, little developed but with most essentials and the friendliest people anywhere. Loutraki its port (15 minutes by a very twisty roads) has a laid back charm and some good tavernas. There are pebble beaches galore within easy range of the house.
I would comment about the age of guests. On the face of it the villa seems to be ideal for families with young children - which it is absolutely. We, however are quite elderly and we found it absolutely perfect for us. In the past we have swum from most of the beaches on the island, but this time we spent much of our time on the verandah or by the superb pool with a view. When we got too hot we simply rolled into the pool!
All in all this has been one of the most enjoyable and relaxing holidays we have ever had.
We will definitely come back again next year if we can.

Great house, beautiful views, extremely relaxing!
We stayed for a week in Shane's house and everything was perfect. The pool, the views, the terrace outside (perfect to watch the sun go down in the evening), the bbq area, the fresh tomatoes from the garden, we enjoyed every bit of it. We will definitely try to come back!

Simply stunning
What can I say that has not already been said!
The villa is home from home, with views that just take your breath away, what ever time of day or night is in. We had a wonderful holiday on Skopelos, which is beautiful with such friendly inhabits. We did a day of Kayaking around the island, and a bit of sightseeing (of course, had to be done, Mama Mia Church, with the 300 steps), but the rest of the time was spent at the villa just lazy around the pool with 'that view!' This is our favourite Greek island, flying into Skiathos, doing a bit of plane and ferry watching, while waiting for our ferry. If anyone is worried about connections to the island, it is very simple and arriving at the airport, it is very efficient (a little less efficient departing, but that is partly due to the airport being so small), we had plenty of time to catch our ferry to the island, being treated en-route to watching the dolphins play in the wash of the ferry. Again, we would definitely say a Jeep is a necessarity for the track up to the villa, perhaps not a great track for anyone with a nervous dispersion! For anyone staying at the villa, sending our love to our three friendly cats that joined us at the villa, Ginge, Stubby (lack of tail) and Yappy (did not stop talking to us), it was very hard to leave them and that view. Thank you Shane for letting us stay at your villa.

A holiday in paradise!!
We have just returned from the holiday of a lifetime. I can promise you that you will fall in love with this villa and its surroundings.
We arrived our first night as the sun was setting and we knew instantly choosing Shane's villa was the right decision!!!
You are located in such a high and secluded position that you feel you are literally on top of the world. What can I say about the view... it's breathtaking!!! The villa has everything you could want for but the outside living space has so much more. There are so many different areas to enjoy. We tried to make the most of every part.
Every day was different and beautiful but my favourite way to spend it was waking up and enjoying a coffee on the balcony watching the boats come in. We would then spend the day at one of the many stunning beaches. We would return late afternoon for a dip in the pool and then have a barbecue using the best outdoor kitchen ever!!!
I will never forget our tranquil evenings playing cards listening to the crickets with the smell of pine trees!!!!
Shane... your villa is simply perfect in every way and our family has been left with beautiful memories
We are adamant that we will one day return as nothing else will ever compare to this holiday!!!!

Beautiful Villa with breathtaking views!
We are home from a really wonderful holiday in this beautiful villa and missing those views so much! We really believe the villa has one of the best views on the island, the sunsets with Skiathos & Evia in the distance were stunning - we also had the most amazing storm one night which was a lot of fun to watch from the safety of the veranda (before the rain came at least)!
The villa is very comfortable and well equipped, big beds with those views again and great showers inside and out. We loved the pool too, clean and blue and refreshing with plenty of sturdy sun beds. We were visited on several occasions by the resident peacock and enjoyed warm plums from the trees for breakfast.
Skopelos is a beautiful island, so green and unspoilt. The beaches are gorgeous and not over crowded - our favourite was Panormous for late afternoon sun and dinner on the beach. Skopelos town is typically greek, windy streets to explore, plenty of tavernas to refresh at and gorgeous boats in the port. Nearer to the villa, Glossa is also lovely. A small village with several good places to eat - Agnanti was a treat but our favourite was Plateiu (?) in the top square with delicious food, local musicians and lanterns in the trees - lovely! We wished we hadn't left it so late in our holiday to eat here!
We paddle boarded from Andrina beach which was great fun and hired a boat for a day to explore the coastline.
All in all a fabulous holiday! it is a shame we did not get to meet Shane (our loss from reading previous reviews that he is no longer based on Skopelos) but he was always helpful in answering my questions. Our transfers to and from the island were so easy and straightforward too and the Jimney we hired from Magic cars was great for the steep drive up to the villa.
We very much hope we can return one day!

A little corner of Paradise
I have just arrived home from paradise. The villa was absolutely incredible, tastefully equipped with everything you need on holiday. The most comfortable bed and pillows I have slept in away from home. The villa is situated on the side of a mountain so you do need a car but the view is out of this world. You gasp every time you go out onto the decked veranda where we ate breakfast, lunch and supper, lazed on the the hammock and supped on the local wines. The glistening and always clean pool provided a welcome splash from the July heat. We lazed on the strong wooden loungers, again looking out over that amazing view and spying on the sail boats coming and going from the harbour way below. We had great days exploring the island, visiting the Mamma Mia sights (do those early before the heat and crowds). We also had a great day stand up paddle boarding around a quiet secluded bay and another scuba diving ... amazing. The islanders were so friendly, most spoke good English and go out of their way to help. We found some lovely places to eat, Agnanti Restaurant in Glossa was a treat. I would recommend this property to anyone who could get out there, especially a family of four or two couples, reading the visitors book so many people keep on returning. I can't wait to go back .... please!

We stayed at Shanes house for one week during June `17. We had a wonderful week at this fabulous place. The house is up in the hills but it is only a few minutes to Glossa where there are supermarkets, bakeries, butcher shops and more. Glossa itself is more of a residential town which means that it is much less touristic than Skopelos town. We liked that!
The villa is beautiful and authentic with great nature and a well maintained pool. The house is equipped with everything you need.
Thank you Shane for letting us stay in your house!

A stunning villa high in the hills, up above the hillside village of Glossa.
We loved our time here, a beautiful villa, a magical setting, and space for all of us to enjoy and relax there in our own ways - whether yoga on lower terrace, drawing on back terrace, evening meals with remarkable sunset on top terrace, or just hanging around pool and lots of swimming...all beautiful!
The main bedroom is very spacious and well appointed- the second bedroom a little less so for second couple but very nice - the main challenge was the noisy peacock roosting in a tree right above this bedroom!
Skopelos is a beautiful unspoilt island, Glossa is a wonderful hillside village, and this villa sits high above Glossa - a magical place to sit and truly relax and enjoy the natural world around you.
Looking at previous reviews and reflecting on our experiences in a couple of other accommodations in Skopelos (- much less luxurious but delightful hosts who took such good care of us - ) our only loss was the 'personal touch' of having the owner on hand to connect with, which can give such added pleasure and insight - as the owner is no longer based on island. Little touches were missing...

Just what the doctor ordered!
From the moment we arrived at Skiathos airport Shane´s hospitality that stretches beyond expectation, kicked in. I received a text when we landed telling me to jump in a cab as quick as possible as the previous ferry had been delayed and if we were quick we could still catch it. We succeeded and it saved us a lot of time. The ferry took us to the harbour below Glossa. Shane arranged for a very friendly couple to meet us and give us the car we had hired. The ease of the whole journey was fabulous which makes such a difference when you have a 9 and 10 year old with you. We followed their car up to Shane´s house and the couple gave us a very friendly tour of the place and answered any of our questions. It is the most beautifully designed villa with breathtaking views and to top it a handsome peacock wandering in the grounds! Shane has created some outstanding outside spaces that blend beautifully into the scenery. The minute the girls saw the pool they were straight in. We sat drinking our complementary wine on the large terrace looking over the pool and over Glossa, down to Loutraki´s small harbour and out to various islands including Skiathos in the far distance. Shane provided so many of the things that make it easy to stay in someone else's place. There were all the toiletries you could want, soap, shampoo, etc including washing up liquid, washing powder, dishwasher tablets...food wise there was enough of the basics in his cupboards to cook a simple pasta dish for the four of us. In the grounds Shane has a vegetable patch which he allows you to help yourself to. My husband and I relaxed so quickly here and the fact that Shane seemed to think of everything you may need made it all so much easier. The girls were thrilled when they found Shane´s stash of swimming paraphernalia in the cupboard under the pool. He has boogie boards, noodles and even a mermaids tail (a mono fin), with this the girls learnt to do butterfly stroke in his pool!
We used our hire car to take us to various places. There are many beautiful small beaches nearby and the drives to reach them are amazing. The scenery is very green with a heavy smell of pinewoods in the air and a view of the sea from almost every road. I would thoroughly recommend a trip to Periviliou beach. It has incredible views at the top looking down over turquoise waters and it is an easy climb down to the beach. There is so much more to tell but I think it´s best you come and look for yourself...!

Villa Eleonorae is quite simply an absolute gem.
It is set alone on the top of a hill, with stunning views that take in the harbour of Loutraki, the hillside town of Glossa, and the neighbouring island of Skiathos. We spent many hours enjoying the view from the veranda with it's hammock and comfy chairs. Because you are not overlooked by anyone, you can fully relax and feel at home here straight away, enjoying the immaculate pool and gardens at the villa. Shane has built the house so thoughtfully, with plenty of outside space, whether you want sun or shade, all day long. To top off the spectacular views, the villa also enjoys the most incredible sunsets. Inside the house was spotless for our arrival, cool and comfortable during our stay.
So long as you have your own vehicle (preferably a jeep as the track up to the house is pretty steep!) you don't feel at all isolated as you can reach the nearby town of Glossa within 5 minutes. The shopkeepers at the local supermarket are incredibly friendly, and all necessities can be found here. Glossa is a really lovely spot to be based near with some nice restaurants, bakery and classic Greek streets to wander. Agnanti was our favourite restaurant but we also liked the cafe in the little square by the church.
The whole island is easily explored - no where takes any longer than 45 minutes to an hour to drive to. We visited some fantastic beaches (Perivoli was top in our books), seaside tavernas, churches and enjoyed a couple of trips to Skopelos town. For one trip we took the 'scenic' route through the island's interior and over Mount Delphi.
Shane was a fantastic host, great communication before our stay and incredibly helpful while we were there, though not at all intrusive. We were travelling with our one year old daughter, and Shane provided all amenities we needed, including setting up additional safety gates for us around the villa in advance of our stay - much appreciated. Magic Cars who we hired our Suzuki Jimni from were also excellent.
All in all we can't fault this holiday - it was perfect for what we wanted and the villa was of an exceptional quality.

This is one of those places that you want to keep to yourself but Shane and Stephanie are so terrific that you also want to support the lovely villa that they have created. Villa Eleanorae is a very special hideaway up a steep hill above the port of Loutraki and the beautiful village of Glossa. Take a close look at the photos, the reality is even better. You definitely need a 4X4 if only for the road up to the villa!
Skopelos is a wonderful island to explore. Lovely people, delicious food, breath-taking scenery. I really can't recommend the island, the villa and Shane and Stephanie highly enough! This is the slice of paradise you've been looking for ...

We or should I say YOU are so lucky to have stumbled across this beautiful villa. What Shane has created is a remarkable rustic/ modern interior and exterior villa with every amenity - you will want for nothing. Being so close to Glossa is convenient for shopping at the friendly supermarket and the bread and cakes at the local bakery are wonderful. Walking through the village you feel so welcome as the locals greet you "Kalimera" The villa which overlooks Skiathos has the most amazing sunsets just breathtaking, I can't tell you how many photographs we have taken of the stunning views.
Shane and Stefanie are the most hospitable hosts, thanks to them both for looking after us, the supplies of wine, water and bread were very much appreciated for when we arrived and we certainly made the most of the vegetables from the garden throughout the week. I cannot express enough to anyone reading this review you will not be disappointed with either Skopleos (our 2nd visit to the island) or to Villa Eleanore. Just chill out relax and have a wonderful holiday. Just as we have.

Villa Elenora is such a absolutely charming villa which is so beautifully and tastefully decorated. It has one of the best views that I've ever seen...let alone stayed at! It was pure heaven having a sun downer enjoying the sun setting in front of us. Honestly you never get bored of this place. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. It was a week of relaxation mixed with a few fun activities like Sporaded SUP and epic walks around the island. If you're looking for the best place to stay on the island...look no further as this is it!

Had a fantastic stay at villa Eleonorae. Have stayed in a range of villas over the years with my family but this one for sure has the most impressive views. The villas interior and exterior are designed beautifully, the creative/little touches compliment the place beautifully.
Glossa, the nearest town to the villa is also picturesque. It includes restaurants, tavernas, bakeries and many other lovely shops. Our favourite restaurant being Agnanti's.
Shane and Stefanie were great hosts, they ensured our stay was a pleasurable one- going out of their way in making sure we had all the information we needed about the many scenic beaches on Skopelos.
We also enjoyed the stand up paddle boarding which was huge fun!!!!
Wish we were still there and hope to return in the future.
Thanks again to you both xx

We stayed here the last 2 weeks of May and absolutely loved it! The house is very nice and comfortable but the outdoor space is spectacular! The house is stocked with everything you need, even a bottle a wine upon our arrival! The location is ideal and the views are out of this world. It was a great location to be about 5 minutes from Glossa and nothing on the island is more than 40 minutes away. On days when we just wanted to relax we would spend the day hanging out at the pool area and admiring the view. Shane met us at the dock when we first arrived and came by every couple of days to clean the pool and make sure everything was okay. He gave us great advice on places to go, restaurants, Mamma Mia landmarks and local tips. Even before we got to Greece, Shane was helpful in figuring out how to get to Skopelos since the ferries don't publish their schedules until springtime and he arranged our car rental. We had never been to Greece before so we weren't sure if this would be a good island. It was! Skopelos Island has beautiful beaches, quaint towns and the people were very friendly and spoke plenty of English for us to communicate. We rented a Suzuki Jimny and drove everywhere on the island and found it to be fun and easy to get around. We travelled with 2 teenagers and the house was perfect with the 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It is hard to find a house with a master bedroom that has a king size bed and this one has it! We hope to go back someday and if we do, we would definitely stay here again.

We have rented this beautiful villa 3 times now and every year we have fallen in love with it even more. Everything you could want is provided with careful thought having been given to making sure you have a truly relaxing time. This villa is totally private and has the most amazing views. The outdoor spaces are beautiful and varied, you can relax by the pool, or while away your time in a hammock. Outdoor cooking is great with a fab bbq and kitchen area provided. I really can't fault this wonderful villa.

We spent a great week either lying by the pool or down on a beach - and there are quite a few! Shane did a great job at looking after us and made us feel very welcome.

We had a wonderful two weeks at Villa Eleonorae in August this year. Everything lived up to or exceeded the photos we had studied so much - the views, the Villa, the garden and outside spaces. It was so relaxing to sit and take in the beautiful scenery, read in the hammock or take a dip in the lovely pool, that we spent several whole days doing just that! We were glad of our Suzuki Jimny though, each time we did venture down and up the steep lane to the Villa (it gets easier!) - to go to Glossa, or further afield on the island. The villa is very well equipped, the bedrooms with their air conditioning and the bathrooms with soft towels and great showers were a refuge from the heat of the day - and we loved to eat outside whenever possible. We gratefully enjoyed fresh vegetables from Shane's garden often and made good use of the bbq. Shane worked hard keeping the pool clean throughout our stay, and we valued his advice about the island, and the great deal of help he gave us to arrange transfers from Skiathos. Our two children aged 12 and 10 had a great time as well as us, and we were all very grateful for the opportunity to stay in this beautiful villa and location.
