The description and photos of this fabulous villa do not do it justice. Everything about this rental is wonderful, from the lovely Stamatis meeting us at the airport, supporting us with collecting our hire car and guiding us to the property, to the facilities and location of the villa. The villa and pool area are fabulous and the wrap round veranda provides shade from the sun to those of us who need it, the internal decor and rooms are lovely and there was a midweek towel and linen change which was great. We spent many relaxing days on the veranda watching the planes take off and land at Skiathos airport which is an added bonus to the location, the views are stunning over to Skopelos. There are two local bakeries within a few minutes drive and the local supermarket is very close too. Skiathos town is 5 minutes drive away and the many beaches are within 20 minutes drive as this is a small island. Stamatis you are a wonderful host, thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

Beautiful villa with amazing views to Skopelos and beyond. Quiet location yet within walking distance of great tavernas and close to Skiathos Town. Outside areas, including the pool, were excellent. Villa really well equipped with everything we needed, including modern appliances and air-conditioning. Stamatis was the perfect host, meeting us at the airport and providing local tips and information. We frequented his bar in town which is lovely. He is very friendly and was always willing to offer any assistance as required. Skiathos is a beautiful island and we would have no hesitation in returning to this wonderful villa.

Stamatis is a very kind and helpful host and goes above and beyond to help. We were met at the airport, where I picked up a car, we followed Stamatis back to the property. He took some of our luggage for us. The villa is lovely and has everything you need. It has the great views of the sea and the end of the runway. The airport is not a problem as very few planes arrive and depart, and it’s great to see them taking off and landing. There are 3 good size bedrooms, one with a bathroom and one additional bathroom. Outside space is fantastic – the terrace has a BBQ on it and coals and firelighters were provided. The pool is lovely. Skiathos is a small island, but we felt a car was good to have, though it looked like there were plenty of buses and taxis. There are two or three good tavernas very nearby within walking distance. We followed many of the walking trails around the island, which are mapped and waymarked pretty well.

Staying in this villa was the perfect experience from start to finish . The villa offers privacy on the side of the mountain with an trip down to Skiathos old port, I would recommend hiring a car, as there are some pretty steep terrain. Stamatis is a superb host and his hospitality is excellent, he was very attentive and came to meet us at the airport.
The villa itself has everything you could possibly need during your stay and the photos of the pool don’t do it justice, it’s amazing.
Definitely recommend picking this villa for your next vacation!

The villa Iliana is in a quiet residential area and amazing in every way. The owner Stamatis was so helpful, friendly and gave us all information’s needed. From the villa and the pool you have an absolutely brilliant view of the landscape and also the Xanemos beach. Everyone interested seeing the airplanes landing and taking off will have an additional bonus. The planes are quiet, if not silent and fascinating to watch. Skiathos town is about 5 to 10 minutes away by car and there are also three good taverns nearby. There are said to be over 60 beaches on the island and of course we visited some of them. If you are looking for peace and quiet on the beach, you should go to the north side of the Island; here are the best beaches in our opinion. If you happen to be in Skiathos town in the evening, don't miss seeing the film Mama Mia, which was partly filmed on the island. This will be performed several times a week in an open air cinema and you will have a new experience of how much fun you can have in a cinema. Afterwards it is a must to end the evening in the Main Street Bar, it’s a relaxing place, excellent staff and if the owner is there too, I’m sure he will greet you personally. The villa is a lot better than shown in the photos and we can’t recommend this property and the owner Stamatis highly enough. In total absolutely 5 stars for the villa, Stamatis, his entire team and the Greek hospitality. Thanks’ Stamatis with special greetings from the „lobster”.

We had a lovely time in Skiathos. We visited in early May and the weather was a bit colder than usual, so we didn’t spend as much time in the pool as we might have liked.
The place is lovely, very open and spacious, and flows down into the pool area. There is lots of space to sit back and relax and let the world go by. We cooked most nights and the kitchen was very easy to use.
Stamatis was a very attentive host and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely visit again

Sincere thanks to the owner Stamatis who is a very kind and attentive host and goes above and beyond to help. Stamatis helped us organise a rental car in advance. He met us at the airport, helped us collect the rental car and we then followed him to the villa which was really helpful as we arrived late after dark and Skiathos has some steep, hilly roads. There was water, beer and soft drinks on arrival. Stamatis was flexible with check out times, gave helpful recommendations re places to eat and responded very quickly to any messages we sent while there.
Can’t recommend the villa highly enough. Stayed as a family of 3 with our 15 month old son. The villa is modern, tastefully finished with beautiful artwork. It has the most incredible, panoramic views of the sea which can be enjoyed from nearly every window in the property and from both the upper terrace and the infinity pool/ surrounding greenery on the lower level. The living / dining area and terrace with bbq is on the upper level and you go downstairs to 3 bedrooms which lead out the pool and greenery area.
The runway is close but the planes are quiet, if not silent when landing and are fascinating to watch. You can hear the occasional plane when taking off but these are very infrequent so not an issue at all.
The villa is in a quiet residential area. It’s so private and not overlooked at all but equally doesn’t feel isolated as you can still see a few other neighbouring villas, which are a good distance away, from the terrace.
Skiathos is very small but I think a car is pretty essential. We personally didn’t feel we could walk into town as the roads are steep in places without pavements and definitely not pram friendly. Town is a short 10 minute drive and there’s a large free car park which is handy. There’s a lovely harbour, shops, waterside restaurants and an amazing bar overlooking the sea called Bourtzo.
There’s not many places we would want to stay again as we usually try somewhere new but we would definitely love to stay here again.

Amazing villa
The property was amazing in every way.
The owner Stamatis was so helpful and friendly and picked us up from the airport and dropped us back.
The pool is the best I have ever been in.
Amazing views with an added bonus of seeing the airplanes land and take off.
I did not hire a car, so used taxis to take us to the town and bring us back. 10 euros each way and very efficient and easy.
Cant thank Stamatis enough for making our stay so wonderful.

Great Holiday
Just stayed here in May and firstly I want to thank the owner Stamatis, who has been great through Covid in rearranging this holiday. He picked us up from the airport and there was water, fruit, soft drinks and beer waiting for us. A great personal touch. The villa is as advertised and a perfect location. Nice and quiet, but you can also watch a few planes come in. The whole villa has everything you need and the pool is fabulous. It’s a 30 minute walk in to town which we did most days and got a taxi back, usually with some things from the supermarket. You can also go right at the main road jus up from the villa as there is a great restaurant/Taverna 10 mins away (Taverna Mega Gialos). You must try it. A great place to stay and you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing villa in a wonderful location.
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Iliana and thank you Stamatis for looking after us so well. The villa is absolutely immaculate and the views from the property are stunning. We enjoyed walking to local restaurants and beaches from the villa and loved our first visit to Skiathos despite some storms in early September.

Lovely house, for a peaceful stay
Stamatis is an excellent host, the house is beautiful, comfortable and the area is very peaceful. Nicest beaches are ~30 minutes drive away, a car is a necessity to enjoy the island. I can definitely recommend the property.

A wonderful relaxing holiday
We had an amazing 11 nights staying at Villa Illiana. The villa had everything we needed, was very clean, comfortable & was very tastefully decorated. We walked into town a few times, it took about 20 minutes & was all downhill. The views were spectacular, looking over the sea to Skopelos & was lovely to get up early to watch the sunrise. We would recommend hiring a car to see the rest of the island as it is all beautiful.
Stamatis, the owner, also has a bar in town (called Main Street) & we would recommend visiting this also, great music.
We would love to come back again. Les, Geoff, Ange, Mike, Lol & Phil

Fantastic villa situated in a brilliant location with wonderful views.
We had a wonderful trip to Skiathos, met by our very welcoming, helpful and kind host Stamatis at the airport. It is very easy to get around the Island with lots to do and see and the villa is like a haven after the hustle and bustle of busy beaches, tavernas, supermarkets etc. Situated on a hillside with beautiful views of Skopelos, with a lovely infinity pool , plenty of shaded areas and good quality sunbeds by the pool. The villa was well stocked with a generous fresh fruit bowl, beer, water etc and the delightful cleaner came twice during our stay and left the property immaculate. It is very spacious with good facilities for cooking or BBQing. All in all a lovely place to stay. We would highly recommend this property. We were a family of 5 adults and it was perfect for us. Would love to come again sometime! Thanks Stamatis.

Blissful - serene location yet the fun of Skiathos town minutes away
A wonderful week. Everything the previous reviews say is true. The photos on the website do the place justice. The villa and the pool are stunning, a true home from home.
Efficient aircon and a cooling breeze across the pool and deck make for a comfortable stay even in the height of summer.
Well equipped kitchen with a large fridge and dishwasher. Stamatis provides all the basic cleaning and washing up products you need. Cleaner was excellent, with good English and a lovely smile.
We were collected at the airport and dropped off at the ferry for our second week in Skopelos. You will need a hire car with a decent engine for the steep slopes.
Plenty of great restaurants and bars. Spar supermarket has all you will need. Monastery well worth a visit. Stamatis a great source of recommendations of where to go and beaches to visit.

Beautiful property, great location, stunning views. Just perfect.
We’ve just had a fabulous stay at Villa Iliana. This a really beautiful property in a great location with stunning views and a beautiful pool which our 7 year old loved. The villa is well equipped both inside and out. The gardens are lovely and really well maintained. For easy access to Skiathos town a car is recommended for the short 5 minute drive as the roads are not safe to walk on at night, especially with children, as they are dark with no footpaths. Stamatis, the villa owner, met us at the airport. He was really friendly and helpful, always on hand if we needed anything, but not at all intrusive. We enjoyed our stay so much that we didn’t want to come home. We would definitely recommend this villa and would love to come back for a longer stay.

Stunning week in a stunning location
We had a week staying here at the end of August. The villa and the surroundings are amazing. Watching the planes taking off and landing was a bit surreal as we lay on our sun loungers or watched from the side of the beautiful infinity pool. It is so private, the owner is so helpful and was okay when we declined the cleaning services. He told us when we would be popping round for general maintenance at 6ish each evening. The privacy, the view, the location and all the facilities make this a very luxury experience. The kitchen is brilliantly equiped which is brilliant if you want to cook rather than drive into town in the evenings. On arrival there was beer in the fridge, 6 pack of water and a big bowl of fruit. We would recommend this villa in a heartbeat.

Stunning property
The villa far exceeded our expectations it was absolutely stunning, with spectacular views. It was in a perfect position for getting into town, we would go down in the car in the evening get a taxi back( which was very cheap) then have a leisurely walk down the next day.
The villa was outstanding, clean and comfortable, outside seating area was beautiful, and pool was wow!!
Stamatis was so helpful, he helped us to and from the airport with our luggage, he was on call 24 hours a day, not that we needed him, just nice to know he was there to help, he gave us loads of info about the island. Loved it!!

A Perfect Holiday and Villa
What can we say? Absolutely fabulous! Stamatis, the Villa owner, was there to greet us at the airport and he couldn't have been more helpful. Nothing was a problem to him. The Villa was spotlessly clean, in excellent condition and lovely and quiet. The infinity pool was the 'Icing on the Cake'!
Thank you for such a memorable time. (You will need a hire car for shopping and to visit the magnificent beaches and Skiathos town).

Peaceful, tranquil holiday

Owner Stamatis really helpful with great recommendations for restaurants. 5 minute drive to Skiathos Town 30 minute walk for the adventurous. Beautiful island, fantastic accommodation will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

Peace &quiet, good people, lovely view, great pool
Excellent villa, great location over-looking the Med, fabulous infinity pool with the occasional novelty of seeing planes land/take-off. The villa is the perfect base of operations for a holiday. Glorious idyll, with civilisation only a short drive away in Skiathos Town. Lovely family-run restaurant ( Agnadio ) just 3 minutes drive away. Also recommend restaurants; Marmita, Windmill, in the Town itself. The main supermarket is about 7 minutes drive away, on the outskirts of town. Also, villa owner Stamatis is a decent bloke - one of the good guys. Ask him re: any car hire as he'll get you a better price. He is the oracle for beaches, eateries & anything else you may need. Locals are nice, and appreciate your attempts at "hello, please & thankyou". We shall return!

Incredible villa and a great host
The villa exceeded expectations in terms of comfort, views and facilities. Stamatis is a wonderful host, friendly, helpful and attentive. We went with a toddler and we managed ok, although I wouldn't necessarily recommend for that age group unless you're happy to monitor them at all times as there's a few sheer drops! Location was stunning - being near the airport was a bonus and watching the planes was actually quite fun, and there weren't many of them (we were there end of May). I'd definitely recommend this as a place to stay, we're hoping to return!

Amazing Views
Lovely Villa. Great views. Had everything you need for that home from home feel.
There were six of us in total (3 couples) and there was plenty of space inside and out.
The place was very clean and had a modern look with open plan kitchen / dining area.
Had beers and soft drinks in the fridge on arrival which I thought was a nice touch.
Spent most evenings sitting outside in the BBQ area having our meals.
Waking up to the amazing sunrise was the highlight. Oh and the views of the end of the runway was also a bonus watching the planes
fly in and out. Ten minute drive into the port or half hour walk.

Stunning!
We booked this villa as a party of six to celebrate our son's 18th birthday so it had to be special - it did not disappoint. Having visited the beautiful Skiathos previously, and being let down by the accommodation, we took our time in choosing somewhere perfect, and it really was perfect. We are still talking about the wonderful time we had there and the villa was stunning. It is immaculate, and Stamatis is the perfect host. From the balcony you can see a small beach, not the best beach, but for a five minute drive it was great to go down to in the evening as there is a bar which has some great music playing. Also visit Mylos Taverna, and the Amaretto Snack Bar, both with amazing views of aircraft landing and taking off, and with great service. A visit the hillside ruins of Kastro is another must-do. We love the beautiful island of Skiathos and the villa was the icing on the cake. Thank you Stamatis.

Utterly fabulous; believe the photos !!
This was our first time to Skiathos and we are most fortunate to have picked such a splendid villa in which to spend our 2 weeks.
The villa is as stunning as the photos suggest, being immaculately furnished, equipped , presented and maintained with thorough cleaning and linen changes 3 times a week.
The gardens and pool are delightful, and the views over to Skopelos are splendid. This is a quiet villa in which to truly relax, it being in a small residential area which is remote from the main town but within a 5 min drive on a very good road.
The town itself has much to recommend it, from the marina, to the fabulous restaurants, great bars and cocktail lounges for watching the world go by.
The owner is most attentive and very accommodating, managing to be both helpful and informative whilst maintaining a suitable degree of invisibility, except a welcoming check to see if all is well with the party and the accommodation on a frequent basis.
Our entire party would heartily recommend this villa as a base for Skiathos due to the perfect combination of the stunning villa itself, the beautiful location and the charming and attentive owner.

Excellent villa. Spotlessly clean in a fantastic location with stunning views.
I am not normally one to leave reviews but this villa and owner were so good I feel compelled to.
The villa is in a fantastic location. Quiet and residential yet still only a five minute drive to Skiathos town on a good road. The views are stunning, overlooking the sea towards Skopelos. It is worth setting your alarm to watch the sunrise one morning.
The cleanliness of the accommodation is noteworthy. We are very fussy normally but I can not fault how clean it was. My only comment would be for us the one clean and change of towels and linen would have been enough for one week, not two.

Paradise on Skiathos Island
We have just had two weeks in Villa Iliana and it has been bliss. The villa is stunning, the view is amazing, the pool is wonderful and it is very quiet. Absolutely everything we were looking for. The villa has everything that you need for six people to be comfortable. Lots of outside space to sit and eat and relax in and out of the sun. Stamatis the owner is so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much for him. The cleaner comes three times a week so the house is always clean and tidy. We are looking forward to coming back next year.

Always Perfect
We have visited Skiathos many times and stayed in various Villa's over the years but since we found Villa Iliana we have returned here several times - it has become our favourite spot on the Island. The Villa enjoys a stunning location with the most fabulous views, it is totally private and not overlooked at all. The layout works particularly well with a fabulous terrace and BBQ area leading off the lounge. The Villa is beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need - a real home from home and absolutely spotless. The pool area is just stunning and again always spotlessly clean and perfectly maintained. Stamatis the owner could not be more helpful and is always available should you need him. The three bedrooms are very comfortable and the linen and towels are frequently changed. There is plenty of storage space and the two bathrooms (one en-suite) have excellent facilities. Can't think of a single thing we don't like about the Villa and other friends we have recommended have also loved it. There is a good supermarket just a short drive away and several excellent restaurants nearby. We have no hesitation in recommending Villa Iliana for a perfect Skiathos holiday.
