INTERIOR
Armoloi Cotto, thelarger of the two cottages, has the charm of an old country
house, with open wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta tile
flooring. The artistic touch of the owner is evident in its
rustic decor and hand made ceramic pottery accenting its unique
design. The main door enters into a spacious living/dining
room furnished with large wooden table and divan sofa for
extra sleeping space. At the rear of this room is the long
rustic, but well equipped kitchen with wooden cupboards adding
to the country charm. A w/c shower room is off the kitchen
and a stairway leads to the second level, comprising the bedroom
with a double bed. This simple rustic bedroom has a separate
door leading directly to the pool area.
Armoloi Blue is a delightful
little cottage, again with open wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta
tiles on the floor. The entry is into a living room with fireplace
and includes a divan with smartly covered cushions in a pretty
blue and white fabric. The front wall has windows facing to
the pool area, providing a light and airy space. The back
wall of the sitting room is open on top to the beamed ceiling
and has screen windows providing light, but privacy, to the
double bedroom behind. A w/c shower room is situated next
to the bedroom. The charming little kitchen is very well equipped
and is open plan to the living room.
EXTERIOR
Attractively painted in mellow shades of apricot and ochre,
the little cottages stand amidst ancient olive trees which
provide many shaded corners for reading or relaxing in the
extensive grounds. Armoloi Cotto has a front terrace and a
private side terrace that is reached by a door from the living
room. Armoloi Blue has a front facing terrace looking toward
the pool and olive trees in the distance and a small back
terrace for more privacy. The pool area is spacious and private
with views out to the surrounding nature and hilltops beyond.
SURROUNDINGS
The cottages are approximately 300m off the main road
and a mere 1.5 km from Skopelos town, with its lovely waterfront
and array of shops, restaurants and cafes. In the opposite
direction, the beautiful beaches of Stafilos and Velanio are
only 3 km away from home. Armoloi is also perfect for walkers
and is actually located on an old unmade road that crosses
the island. The walk to town is approximately 20 minutes and only approximately
40 minutes to the beautiful beaches of Stafilos and Velanio
on a pretty road that passes tiny churches, springs and offers
plenty of shade in the form of hundreds of olive groves.
SUITABILITY
Armoloi Cottages are romantic, which make them perfect for honeymooners or couples wanting the peace and quiet
of a quaint country cottage.
It is also possible to let the cottages together for larger families and parties, giving the convenience
of having one accommodation in two separate cottages with the added bonus of being able to spend the days
together around the shared swimming pool.
