Villa Eleonorae has an incredible view and it gets the sun from morning until the sun goes down. A homely and comfortable villa, creating a holiday vibe in a wonderful setting. It is modern, yet in keeping with the local architecture. Named after the falcons that swoop over its elevated position above the unspoiled hill village of Glossa (only 1.8km away with shops and tavernas). Its secluded location feels private, despite its proximity to the beaches, the port, the Mamma Mia church and the village itself. There are incredible walks from the door through untouched country side to the Mama Mia church or even to Skopelos town. The villa is not overlooked by anything. The panoramic view takes in the islands of Evia, Skiathos and the Pelion and to the mainland, as far as Mt Parnassus and closer to home down to the village of Glossa and its port of Loutraki. The villa itself is built by hand in the traditional style of the island, with open-beamed ceilings of chestnut and pine, wooden balconies and tiled roofs, complemented by a modern clean touch and up-to-date fittings and equipment. It is a truly unforgettable experience.

Accessibility
Due to the situation of the property on the apex of a hill, and the steep slopes around the house, it is not suitable for wheelchair users, or indeed people with mobility difficulties. There are stairs inside and outside as it is a two storey villa. This is worth taking in to consideration if you are not accustomed to stairs. Car hire is necessary in order to get around and to explore , a Suzuki Jimny is a good option. I can recommend a local car hire family run company which will deliver the car to the port of your arrival and collect from your departure port. On arriving on the island you be met and brought to the villa and then shown around. There is always help and advice on hand if you need it in order to make your stay a memorable and pleasurable one.
The private swimming pool measures 8x4m and looks out over the bay. It is located at the side of the villa on a split level. It has steps leading into it and a shallow and deep end. There are five wooden sun beds, low tables, umbrellas and a large cushioned bench. There is an outside shower and an orange tree at the far end of this area and next to it stone steps that lead up to the terrace above. The pool area is enclosed tastefully by railings, with a latched gate to restrict access by underage children. The property extends to 2.5 acres set out in terraces, gardens and trees, so providing guests with privacy and space.
I look forward to hearing from you!
