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. Car hire is necessary, Suzki Jimney recommended. I can recommend a local car hire family run company which is friendly and helpful.
Outside
The house has been specifically designed to offer guests the maximum benefit of outdoor living. The hard wood veranda runs along two sides of the villa and faces south west. The front veranda measures 3m wide x 9m long it provides a perfect space to entertain and dine alfresco whilst taking in the stunning view over loutraki harbour and the bay beyond. The barbecue area has a fridge, sink and a sizable user friendly barbecue that also has an electric rotisserie. So whether its a few sardines or a whole goat and three chickens on the menu this set up will deliver!
The yard at the rear of the villa is next to the barbecue. This is the main entrance to the villa from the car park area. Large double doors open onto this area with its pergola and dining area that allow for a cool, relaxed dining alternative when the sun is at its zenith! 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, an umbrella 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 acres set out in terraces, gardens and trees, so providing guests with privacy, space and seclusion.
Important notes on accommodation

Location and surroundings of object
Villa Eleonorae has an incredible view and being on the south west side of the island it gets the sun from the morning until dusk.
This is a comfortable home from home, creating a holiday vibe in a wonderful setting. It is modern, yet in keeping with the local design. You will find all that you want here including bedlinen and fluffy towels from the White company and lots of other home furnishings set out too create a sumptuous holiday atmosphere.
The villa is named after the falcons that swoop over it, situated in gorgeous countryside near the picturesque hill village of Glossa. Its secluded location feels private, despite its proximity to the beaches, the port, the Mamma Mia church and the village itself, and the villa is not overlooked by anything.
The mesmerizing panoramic view takes in the islands of Evia, Skiathos and the Pelion and away 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 vaulted open-beamed ceilings of local chestnut and pine, wooden balconies and tiled roofs, complemented by a modern clean touch and up-to-date fittings and equipment.
The land on which Villa Eleonora is built is in a private location, off a road that meanders into the interior of the island which is mainly forested. There are no buildings beside the property or within sight in the immediate area. To the left of the property and at the front it is designated forestry and on the right and behind families farm vines and fruit trees. Its a peaceful, private and tranquil place that I am always eager to return too.
The villa was completed in 2008 and I have been letting the property since 2010. This year I have enhanced the pool area by placing another outside shower there, with extra decking and new stone wall.
I enjoy the Greek Island lifestyle, the people and the beauty that Skopelos gives to everyone. The villa enjoys literally breathtaking unspoilt views, of forest, sea, islands and the mainland beyond.
For walking or mountain biking it is perfect as there are tracks leading from the villa in different directions through the forest to both sides of the island whether it is to Agios Iannis the ‘Mamma Mia' church or to the other side of the island on the southwest.
At night Glossa and Loutraki are great places to walk about and to enjoy the atmosphere. There are some great tavernas, Agnanti is famous for its dining experience and fine wines. Though there are many others to chose from whether you want to hear the sea lapping at your feet at Flizvos in Loutraki or to enjoy the buzz in the square at To Steki in Glossa.
Between Glossa and Skopelos town there is NeoKlima, Panormos, Agnondas and Stafilos. Each of these settlements also have super tavernas and other amenities to entertain you. Skopelos town itself has larger supermarkets, shopping, banks and bars. There’s enough there to entertain adults and teens alike.

Superb villa with stunning views
The villa is in an absolutely fantastic location, not visible above Glossa! It is superbly equipped with plenty of lounging and seating options, both in the sun and in the shade. Bathrooms and bedrooms are beautifully designed and the kitchen offers enough space for cooking and preparing. The view from the terrace, bedroom and pool cannot be beaten. There is sun from noon until sunset
The approach is steep but manageable with any car
On-site support from Eleni is wonderful and absolutely uncomplicated. The same applies to communication with Shane. Very courteous and polite!
Many thanks Shane and Eleni. We had a fantastic time and miss the villa already!!!
Efcharisto poli!

The Hawk's Nest
Probably the accommodation with the most beautiful view of Skopelos. When you reach the house, you are in the middle of nature. Here you are in absolute isolation and can enjoy the absolute silence. The view over the sea to Skiathos and Euboea as well as the harbour of Glossa are overwhelming. The beautiful pool and the terraces leave nothing to be desired. On the veranda with the beautiful shady roof and hammock you can enjoy many a good drink. The equipment of the house is perfect, the beds are super comfortable and generate a restful sleep.the cat family with their 5 weeks old kittens have thrilled us, it was never boring, of course they were well fed to prepare them for the time after us. We were very satisfied, Elena our contact person was always available and helped us when it was necessary. It should also be noted that the house is very clean and well maintained. We would also like to thank Shane, the landlord
It should be noted that when renting a vehicle, one should make sure to order a Susuki 4x4, for example, otherwise there could be problems getting to and from the dream house. Furthermore, you can make many discovery tours where this vehicle is also extremely useful. Many, many thanks for the great holiday, we wish the other guests great holidays in the Falkennest.

Lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful location
Villa Eleonorae is quite simply an absolute gem.
It is set alone on the top of a hill, with stunning views that take in the harbour of Loutraki, the hillside town of Glossa, and the neighbouring island of Skiathos. We spent many hours enjoying the view from the veranda with it's hammock and comfy chairs. Because you are not overlooked by anyone, you can fully relax and feel at home here straight away, enjoying the immaculate pool and gardens at the villa. Shane has built the house so thoughtfully, with plenty of outside space, whether you want sun or shade, all day long. To top off the spectacular views, the villa also enjoys the most incredible sunsets. Inside the house was spotless for our arrival, cool and comfortable during our stay.
So long as you have your own vehicle (preferably a jeep as the track up to the house is pretty steep!) you don't feel at all isolated as you can reach the nearby town of Glossa within 5 minutes. The shopkeepers at the local supermarket are incredibly friendly, and all necessities can be found here. Glossa is a really lovely spot to be based near with some nice restaurants, bakery and classic Greek streets to wander. Agnanti was our favourite restaurant but we also liked the cafe in the little square by the church.
The whole island is easily explored - no where takes any longer than 45 minutes to an hour to drive to. We visited some fantastic beaches (Perivoli was top in our books), seaside tavernas, churches and enjoyed a couple of trips to Skopelos town. For one trip we took the 'scenic' route through the island's interior and over Mount Delphi.
Shane was a fantastic host, great communication before our stay and incredibly helpful while we were there, though not at all intrusive. We were travelling with our one year old daughter, and Shane provided all amenities we needed, including setting up additional safety gates for us around the villa in advance of our stay - much appreciated.

I am from Ireland and have been coming to Skopelos since 2004. I have always enjoyed traveling and when I came to Skopelos in 2004 I liked it so much that when the opportunity came to build a villa here I seized it. I now live back in Ireland where I make sculpture. Luckily I have good friends on the island who help me to keep the villa the way I like it.
