INTERIOR
This quaint country cottage has been lovingly refurbished by
the grandson of the original owner who built it 110 years ago.
Sitting and imagining what life was like then is part of the
charm and atmosphere of the entire house and grounds. One enters
into a living room with built in seating which can become a
third bed if required.One stone wall has been restored in keeping
with the original décor. A fully modern w/c shower room
has also been added to this ground floor. The bedroom is reached by a stairway from the
sitting room and has twin beds which are set up together.
The bedroom feels light and spacious with open beamed ceilings
and pine wood floors. The small balcony is the perfect spot
to sit and enjoy the stunning views down to the pool, through
the trees and to the sea beyond.The quaint country kitchen is reached by a separate entrance
and has a lovely breakfast table surrounded by windows which
create a light and airy space as if sitting outdoors. The
simple kitchenette is well equipped for simple holiday meals
and still has the original bread oven cleverly lighted to
make it a feature of the room.
EXTERIOR
Michaels Country Cottage has lovely outdoor terraces which
enjoy both sun and shade throughout the day. The built-in
BBQ is perfect for holiday cooking and the tall trees that
surround the house and pool contribute to the intimate feel
of the grounds that blends so well with the nature. The location
of the cottage, on the hillside above all other houses and
buildings allows for a wonderfully, private atmosphere.
SURROUNDINGS
Situated on the hilltops above Stafilos Bay, Michaels Country
Cottage is conveniently located for those who want to be close
to all. The position of this property is ideal for parties
that want to be within walking distance to beaches and tavernas.
A small foot path which begins at the cottage links up with
the main road down to the beaches of Stafilos and Velanio
which are reached in about a 10 minute walk. Car hire is not
essential since the bus stop is a 10minute walk away and the
bus service is fairly regular. In the vicinity, there are
two restaurants and a small mini market for essentials. Skopelos
town with all of its amenities is approx. 4km away and can
be reached by foot in approx 50 minutes along a little used
dirt track. Please note** there is no local taxi service
to this house due to the narrow, steep driveway. A mandatory
escorted transfer fee of 30Euros will apply to all bookings
not wishing to hire a car. Also please keep in mind
that persons with walking difficulties or the unfit might
find walking the steep uphill driveway challenging. In these
cases, a hired car is highly recommended.
SUITABILITY
Michaels Country Cottage is perfect for couples wanting that
romantic break from everyday stresses in life. This quiet
cottage set in the woods is a wonderful choice for those wanting
to be close to amenities and as well as have plenty of privacy.
The additional possibility of a 3rd bed in the living room
makes it even a good choice for small families. The private
pool gives it that extra luxury and allows for relaxing days
without leaving the cottage at all.
