INTERIOR
Entering into the open plan living area, the owners' personality
is plainly evident in the artsy touches throughout. An artist
himself and owner of a local gallery, he has canvas and easel
to one side of the room and a few of his own paintings hung
around the house. The
dining area with a large table is situated on the main level
and just above the sunken living room, which takes full advantage
of the impressive views afforded by an immense picture window.
The living room has comfortable built-in seating around the
traditional fireplace and facing out to the views. To the
opposite side of the dining area is an open plan kitchen complete
with built-in breakfast bar. This fully eq uipped kitchenette
has windows providing lots of light and look out to the lush
trees that surround the house. There is also a w/c shower
room on the main level. From the breakfast bar, a screened
French door leads to a sizable balcony overlooking the pool
– this is the perfect breakfast spot or place to sit
for a quiet evening in. The tranquil views of the nature and
sea before you lend a relaxing, hide-away feel to this cottage
in the country.
Just above the kitchen is the loft bedroom, located under
the rafters of the open beamed roof. Just big enough for two
single mattresses on low wooden frames and roomy closet (please
note that head room is restricted due to the roof angle).
From the sitting room a small, rather steep curved stairway
leads to a second sleeping room. This lower level room has
a double bed and its own separate entrance as well as large
windows facing to the forest and views below.
EXTERIOR
Selini Pool Cottage is set below a small country lane almost
hidden by lush trees, its golden colour and terra cotta tiled
roof blending well into the hillside. Built on the side of
a hill, the views from almost every room are facing toward
the valley and sea below.  Down the stone s tairway leading
to the cottage, ones' first view is a welcoming outdoor picnic
area next to the built-in brick BBQ, making dining al fresco
a must. The swimming pool is set off to the side and enjoys
the same stunning views of the valley and sea below.
SURROUNDINGS
The great advantage of the cottages' private location and
appeal is that it is also not far from Skopelos town and all
its amenities. In just 10 minutes drive you are also within
reach of Glysteri and Glyfoneri beaches. Both have a selection
of tavernas specializing in local cuisine as well as fresh
fish. Just a few minutes' drive further brings you to Skopelos
town where there are supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and
nightlife. The location of the cottage is perfect for those
who like to explore by foot. It is surrounded by country lanes
and trails. Those who like walking can also reach the beaches
by foot.
SUITABILITY
Selini Pool Cottage is very well suited for couples wanting
lots of privacy in a countryside setting. The outdoor spaces
and gallery bedroom is great for younger kids and teenagers.
The addition of the private pool is always sure to please
