About this property

Hilltop Private Gem w/ Big Garden, 360° View & Pool - 10 min. from Town & Beach

Country Villa Kalimera is a newly restored traditional stone-built farmhouse with a cliff pool, jaw-dropping terrace views, tree-covered dining areas & a big garden. With breathtaking landscape and wide-open spaces, we are a place to explore safely.

The cottage is secluded & quiet, yet only an 8-min drive from Skopelos town & a 10-min drive from the closest beach. Country Villa Kalimera is ideal for people looking for a private and peaceful getaway in an authentic setting.

MAIN DESCRIPTION

The interior and surrounding property are perfect for families with children, couples looking for a romantic escape, or a group of friends getting together for a reunion.
The house is surrounded by a vast fenced garden that displays a 100-years-old BBQ, hammocks, sunbeds, and many chairs and tables to sit either in the sun or under the shade of an olive, fig, almond, pomegranate, or lemon tree.

The rural area around is scenic and ideal for long walks and mountain biking. Your own/rented vehicle is essential to move around the island. The closest beach is 10 min drive and the most iconic beaches are 15-20 min drive away. Close by, there are several ancestral mountain trails that lead to Skopelos town within a short walking distance downhill.

INDOOR

Upon entering the front door at Country Villa Kalimera, you immediately feel the country quality of the house. The stone-built fireplace dominates the living room, as does the lofty wood-beamed roof that houses a spacious loft area on one side.
The loft is reached by a steep spiral staircase and can sleep two persons on the double bed, although the best feature of the loft is the door leading to a roomy terrace/sunning area.

The views are lovely, facing east to the sea and the island of Alonissos and south toward the Stafilos Valley. This spot boasts the most stunning sunrises from which the house derives its name, Kalimera, meaning 'good morning' in Greek.

The loft and double bed area communicate visually with the living room underneath.

The living room is furnished with traditional built-in sofas (which can be used as two single beds) and a coffee table in front of the fireplace. It is open plan to the country-style kitchen, which has terracotta tiled flooring and pretty blue accents. A spacious wooden dining table sits in the middle of the room. On one side of the kitchen, there is a door to the master bedroom and on the other a door to the bathroom.

The spacious master bedroom is furnished with an antique wardrobe, double bed, and an en-suite w/c shower room.

The house offers all modern amenities respecting its traditional style.

We also offer our home for long-term rental – reach out for more information.

Maison pleine de charme
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille avec deux « grands enfants » majeurs a Skopelos. L’un a dormi dans la chambre en mezzanine, l’autre sur l’un des canapés du salon qui fait un très bon lit. La maison est pleine de charme et reste fraiche en journée. Le jardin, avec ses espaces ombragés et ses nombreuses essences qui embaument (figuier, Oliviers, sauge, basilic, etc) est un véritable atout. La localisation, a 10 minutes de Skopelos est tres pratique pour faire des courses ou aller dîner et permet d’accéder en 20 minutes maximum a de tres nombreuses plages et villages. La cuisine est bien équipée en ustensiles de cuisines et verres. Quelques assiettes a dessert supplémentaires seraient bienvenues.

De locatie is buiten heel sfeervol met verschillende zitjes. Uitzicht is mooi met heerlijk zeembad.
De woning is qua inrichting gedateerd en niet helemaal proper. De tweede slaapkamer bevindt zich op een vide waardoor de privacy daar wat minder is.

Super Ausblick, Alleinlage und toller Pool
Sehr schönes älteres Haus mit tollem Ausblick auf Skopelos Stadt und den Hafen und das Meer. Highlight ist der Pool und die Dachterrasse. Sehr netter Vermieter, der sich um alles gekümmert hat und uns sogar, weil wir ungeplant einen Tag früher abreisen mussten, kulanterweise eine Nacht erstattet hat. Danke Alessandro, es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Cadre superbe! Calme, ressourçant! Nos enfants aussi ont adoré
L’endroit est magnifique, assez proche de la ville tout en étant au calme sur les hauteurs! Une belle terrasse, un intérieur frais et une jolie piscine entourée d’oliviers, c’était parfait!

Beautiful traditional house
Villa Kalimera is a really authentic house, as charming as the island. I would highlight its great outdoor areas (porch, pool, terrace). The beauty of the view and the garden is much greater than the photos. Gabriella's and Alessandro's family were very kind and hospitable. Communication was great. I would highly recommend this place. We are looking forward to stay in again.

Hi! We are a mother and son passionate about traveling, learning about cultures & exploring food and antique markets. We have been hosts of our Country Villa Kalimera for 28 years and have had the pleasure of meeting so many people from all over the world. We'll be happy to hear from you and share travel stories!

Why they chose this property

The island of Skopelos is one of those special places where people and nature establish a unique relationship and its ancient heritage takes you on a journey through time.

Since the summer of 1997, when we warmly welcomed our first guests in our home, we have hosted more than 600 visitors from around the globe.

We are one of the first established villa rentals in Skopelos, operating continuously and uninterrupted since we first opened our doors. Our goal is to offer memorable vacations to our guests and make them feel at home away from home. We are constantly evolving, focusing on maintaining the rustic and historic character of the house.

Reach out and we will be happy to answer all your questions!

What makes this property unique

Set within its own olive, fig, almond, pomegranate, and lemon tree grove, the property is private and quiet, yet only a ten-minute drive from the picturesque old town of Skopelos with its shops, cafes, and restaurants. The house is surrounded by a vast garden and many places to sit either in the sun or under shade. The house offers all modern amenities respecting its traditional style.

The 10 min drive from town to Country Villa Kalimera is along steep winding roads offering stunning views. You will be accompanied to our property by our staff setting a pre-arranged meeting at the port.
