United KingdomHave had the pleasure to stay here before. Amazing location right on the beach yet away from the hustle & bustle further down Magazia beach, so had a wonderfully quiet & peaceful stay. The reception of the hotel has an air of Skyrian tradition (ask to see the sitting room) and elegance, which you’d never guess from the outside. You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome from the exceptionally friendly helpful and fun reception team. There are 2 floors and no lift but someone will help with luggage if required. Once you walk into your beautiful clean stylishly white room with soft blue curtains and wood carved furniture, all you hear is the sound of the waves, to wake up to and go to sleep. Every room has a balcony which feels secluded. The shower gel smells lovely. You’ll have a stunning sea view in front of you, the bay to your left, mountains to your right. You can even watch the sun rise from your bed!! Buffet breakfast can be eaten on the lawn, with a sea view. The buffet has a great variety of choices from traditional Greek delicacies with daily baked pastries, fresh fruit, cheeses, cold meats, cereal, breads plus cooked hot food etc. There’s a Nespresso machine, various teas and decaf choices. Greek coffee available on request, just ask the very helpful lady who attends this area. Towels available for beach or sun-bed use. Discrete efficient, friendly cleaning staff. This year I was the first and only guest for 2 days at the start of season. I couldn’t have felt more fussed over. What a memorable start to my stay on Skyros. Efharisto para poli to all the staff.
There’s a supermarket 5 mins walk away on the main road near the hotel. A taxi costs approx €5 to get to Chora the main village on the mountain or it’s a brisk 20 min walk up to it. But there’s lots of restaurants on the beach, and one 5 mins away, Stafanos which serves excellent fresh fish.
