Wonderful house with one of the best views I've ever had
Perched on the peak of a hill, with breathtaking views of the coast and surrounding islands, the villa is full of character, with a warm and homely feel. The outside area gives you space to be apart, but equally pulls you together for wonderful family and friends time. The walk into Glossa is around 20 minutes, through fields and country lanes. A lovely, lovely villa that was the perfect base for our holiday on Skopelos.
We had the most lovely week at this home. The location was stunning (the driveway isn’t for the faint hearted) The local area was quiet considering it was high summer. Glossa is a very untouched, not touristy village. We loved the walk into the village, enjoyed a wonderful meal at Rouga and also fantastic and cheap gyros at another local restaurant. Elina was wonderful and helpful. Antony, the owner, made the entire booking process, easy and enjoyable. Can’t Thankyou both enough. Skopelos was so green and lush. I have traveled to many Greek islands and this unique island comes in my top few. The journey was worth it, even just for the magnificent view from the house ! Even better than the pics

Secluded villa with character surrounded by nature
The villa is truly off the beaten track, surrounded by pine forests with beautiful views to the sea. It is large and comfortable. The owner and house manager are incredibly helpful.
This has been the most wonderful villa we ever had been to! What a magnificent place to be!! Everything was more than expected - breathtaking views, three terraces where it is hard to decide where to sit down and enjoy the surrounding nature, beautiful pool which is refreshing and fun, great living room and kitchen full with charming atmosphere and lots of good books, sleeping rooms are quaint, large and comfy. the location is remote, a beautiful short walk connects to the village with restaurants and shops.
The island in general is also worth to visit and stay.
Only problem: it is very hard to leave!
Wir haben eine Woche mit 6 Personen die Villa Petaloutha genutzt und es war herrlich. Die Villa liegt ca. 10 Minuten von Glossa entfernt auf einem Hügel und hat einen traumhaften Blick über das Meer. Das Haus strömt einen sehr privaten Charakter aus, was sicherlich daran liegt, dass der Eigentümer (Antony Thomas) das Haus selbst regelmäßig nutzt. Alle Beschreibungen entsprechen der Realität. Ich kann Villa Petaloutha wärmstens empfehlen.
We spent a fabulous week in this gorgeous villa with it’s rustic charm. The views over Skiathos and neighbouring islands are absolutely amazing. We have had wonderful views in other villas over the years but this one Surpasses them all!
The owner was so helpful prior to our stay sending me photos of the steps inside the villa to ensure my elderly Mother would be able to manage. The car was all arranged for us and we were met at the port to be escorted to the villa!
If you Enjoy walks/hiking there is amazing country
side around the villa and Glossa is not out of reach on foot.
The villa is very well equipped - there was nothing that we needed that wasn’t already available to us.
I would highly recommend this villa for a quiet holiday away from it all! Thank you!
Villa Petaloutha is beautiful and very comfortable. Antony was extremely helpful with advice on the travel and the housekeeper Eleni made us immediately feel very welcome. The drive up to the house is quite steep and winding but you are rewarded when you arrive at the house as the views are stunning with amazing sunsets. The house is beautifully furnished , the third bedroom has a separate external access from the main house and at a lower level via stairs , while the two bedrooms within in the main house are lovely and spacious with access to various roof terraces. There are also lovely terraces around the pool which all enjoy the great views. Glossa is very pretty , quite quiet in July but I imagine it gets busier in August , there was a wonderful traditional dance festival while we were there. We enjoyed lots of the local restaurants on the evening and the lovely coastal walk to the bakers in Glossa in the morning. A truly wonderful villa in a very magical location

Words can't describe this place! You have to experience it.
We had a fantastic week at Villa Petaloutha! Words can´t describe it. You have to experience it. So peaceful. The villa corresponded to our expectations! Beautiful, good comfort, so nicely decorated and personal. Outside you have a fantastic swimming pool and several cozy patios. But above all a fantastic view and sunsets! Breathtaking. We all loved it and said that it felt like home. We will come back! And most important, Antony thanks for being a great host/landlord/owner, so caring for us having a good time. And Eleni was very nice and helpfull! Best Bessie Wedholm

Fabulous remote location with breathtaking views
We had another wonderful week in Skopelos. Antony could not have been more helpful. He helped with the timings of the transfer from Skiathos (which is always a worry). Antony also organised a reduced rate for our hire car. All in all it was a very chilled enjoyable stay .

Breathtaking views
We were looking for a location where we could relax and recharge our batteries. Villa Pentaloutha was perfect !
We were concerned that out teenage children might get bored. Instead they soaked up the sun, had fun in the pool, rekindled relationships, appreciated the breath taking views and wondered at the variety of wildlife. Seeing, Butterflies (villas name), lizards, a snake, unusual Spiders, a Hoopoe bird and a daily aerial display by resident House Martins, outside the main bedroom window.
We particularly enjoyed exploring the number of seating areas and taking in the different vistas around the property.
Take time to explore, particularly in Glossa, very traditionally Greek and the people are so friendly, take time to say hello. Yasssa.
Sarah and Matt the House Managers are very helpful and are there for any eventuality. Antony, the owner too, took particular time to answer e-mails in advance of our journey to ensure we had all the information and help we needed and made the whole process of our stay easy.
Treat getting to Skopolos and back to England as an adventure - it doesn't always go to plan!

Absolutely Stunning
This is my favourite place in the world. Villa Petaloutha has been a big part of my life for many years - I have been lucky enough to holiday here many times with friends and family. The breathtaking views never cease to amaze and delight; the calm, the serenity, the space and the feel make this a truly stunning holiday spot. This is a home, not a holiday house. It is loved and makes us, as guests, feel very welcome and privileged. We will be back.

Fantastic accommodation in Skopelos!
The four of us travelled to Skopleos via Athens and Skiathos in May of this year and stayed one week. I can honestly say that while the journey here was quite the experience in itself it was so worth the effort. From our first contact to finally stepping off the ferry the owner Antony was prompt and accurate in his replies, reliable and gracious in his dealings with us. We were more than comfortable throughout the booking process. Sara, the local caretaker was always on call and was extremely helpfull. When we had a small issue she was there at the villa within 10 minutes to correct the problem.
Villa Petaloutha sits high on the hills overlooking Glossa and the waters below. Skiathos lies directly across and behind that in the distance mainland Greece. Sunrise, all day sun, beautiful sunsets each day with the exception of one when a storm marched across the seas and lightening bolts streaked to the waters surface ..fascinating to watch! Evening skys were filled with a hundred billion stars overhead..what a beautiful setting indeed!
The driveway to the villa, 1st time up and down is not for the faint of heart until you get used to it. The villa is very private, is comfortably furnished and offers all the amenities one needs. The pool offers great views and cooling waters from the heat of the day. We spent many moments here, staring out, shaing drinks and private conversation or reading. Every day we would go down to the local market store to get our supplies as needed and if there was something they did not have then we could travell to the other market at the port which was open on Sundays ..where the other one is not.
Skopelos is extremely rugged and beautiful. We visited several beaches across the island and becasue it was mid May they were deserted which was great for picnics and alone time.
Villa Petaloutha was the perfect accommodation offering peace, tranquility and unmatched views and we feel we received more than what we paid for. Highly recommended..cant wait to return!
safe travels,
Tramper

Stunning sunsets, peace and nature
The house is positioned right at the top of a hill, with views across to Skiathos. We were fortunate to bring binoculars to inspect passing boats, birds - bee-eaters, peregrines, kestrels and swifts, and butterflies. Rooms are comfortable, with a great family room. Pool is very welcome after a hot day on the beach (uncrowded one, nearby). Glossa has some good restaurants. serving traditional Greek fare and something a bit more. Recommended.
