Pretty Greek Villas
The Castle, Skopelos, Greece

Tha Castle sleeps 6 in two bedrooms with 2 bathrooms and an horizon swimming pool.  Situated on the Greek Island of Skopelos, The Castle provides something incredibly unique in self catering accommodation, Greece.

One of the most unusual settings, great for families and friends with access to many walks straight from the front door of this wonderful converted Castle

The Castle is a truly unique property in a magnificent setting on the island of Skopelos. The main door opens into the lower floor of an open-plan room which comprises the spacious living room/ kitchen area with hand-crafted wooden units and a decorative wood burning antique-style stove. 
One of the first things you notice when stepping into this high-ceilinged room, are the black and white checked floor tiles and the amazing mural of winged cherubs and clouds painted on the ceiling. There is a large dining table, built-in sofa seating under the windows and several oil lamps and candelabras hanging on the walls, which add a touch from the olden days. 

The octagonal shape of the building is carried through to the inside with each sea-facing side boasting a tall window with a stained glass arch at the top. To the rear of the room is a WC/shower and a stairway near the front entrance leads to the upper gallery, which is made from beams of wood and has two sleeping areas - one with a double bed and one with two single beds. Both are open to the living room underneath with a sliding door between them for privacy. 

The second bedroom with two twin beds is in a separate stone building, tunnel shaped and with unique cave-painting style chalk drawings on the ceiling, which blend well with the rest of the castle. It is comfortably furnished and has en-suite w/c shower room and the same astonishing views of swimming pool and sea. A back door leads out to a pleasant outdoor dining area with barbeque, sink and dining table. There is also a spacious roof terrace, accessible by stone steps on the side of the house, which offers a 180' degree sea view and lots of sun. Both buildings are equipped with air-conditioning. 

The hillsides around the castle are covered with olive groves and herds of goats and the views are striking down to the nearby beach of Glysteri with its turquoise blue waters. This beach is about a 10-minute drive from the house and has a taverna at the waters' edge, which is open from mid-May to mid-September. The Castle is also ideal for walkers as there are numerous small roads and trails in the surrounding hillsides. The walk to Glysteri beach takes approximately 20 minutes and about 45 minutes to town. There is also a small path down to the rocks by the sea just below the house, which is about a 10-minute walk.
