A very nice and well-kept place with mostly refurbished apts. I had one upstairs with a small but trendy bathroom, well-equipped kitchen and a large balcony with fantastic views to the sea and mountains. Yes, you have to master a small road uphill, but once you do, you‘ll enjoy the tranquility. The owner Xanthippi lives there too, which I found very convenient, because you‘ve always got somebody to address.

unfortunately slow wifi

Had a lovely quiet and relaxing stay at Villa Xanthippi. The grounds and pool area are beautiful and impeccably maintained. Xanthippi herself works incredibly hard to ensure you have a perfect stay. Studio room was very tastefully decorated, nice shower, very comfortable bed and great Aircon. Daily cleaning kept the rooms incredibly clean.

The site is at the top of a very steep hill. In the hot weather it can be a bit of a struggle to walk up if you are not at peak fitness! This is obviously not a reflection of the property itself and doesn’t take away from a lovely stay and the great view once you’re at the top is worth it. Would recommend a car, scooter or Quad if you have any mobility issues.

The lady here was great

It was very clean and fresh and a nice garden with pool to stay at. The view was very nice. The owner was very helpful and accomodating.

Villa Xanthippe is a beautiful green oasis. The lush gardens make it a peaceful location on the hill above the beach. The pool is never busy and there are ample places to sunbath or sit under the shady palms and tall pines.The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is modern with soft towels, soap and hairdryer. Towels and bed linen are changed every two days which is perfect. The kitchen area is fully equipped with all necessary cutlery, crockery, washing up liquid, cloths and tea towel. There is bottled water in the fridge on arrival. There is good air conditioning and the terrace is wonderful to sit overlooking the garden for breakfast in the shade. There are two small supermarkets in Agia Pareskevi on the main road which is down the hill. There are at least three good tavernas - Kohyli is serves a great range with a great atmosphere. You can Catch the bus at stop 16 into Skiathos town and be there in minutes. Around 6.15 pm is good as it gets crowded. It is a steep hill up to the villa but the walk is worth it for the view and tranquility. It certainly keeps you fit. Xanthippe is a fabulous host. She is there if you need any assistance or help. Everything is welcoming, clean and a home from home. Thank you for making our stay wonderful!

We liked everything! It is just as beautiful as in the photos

We loved staying at villa xanthippi. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they helped us get taxis and rent a scooter to get around the island and gave great recommendations on the beaches to visit. The room was very clean and spacious with great air-conditioning.

Modern looking studio with a beautiful garden and a pool that most of the time felt like it was private just for us. Daily cleaning was a nice benefit. The property looks better than on photos here

The hill is indeed steep but we knew about it and it wasn’t an issue. Having a car for the whole duration is a good idea though! Bed could be better but it was ok for the value.

It’s in a beautiful location. The pool in the garden was lovely. The bed was very comfortable even for me a few months after spine surgery. Great shower, and kitchen was well stocked and had a big fridge which actually froze ice and made the wine properly chilled! The terrace has beautiful views across the hills and village to the sea, and we enjoyed listening to cockerels, chickens, goats and horses in the distance.
