Villa Idealia island of Skopelos

"When you travel, you return a different person. You never come all the way back".
Villa Idealia justifies its name and offers ideal holidays for long-lasting memories.

In a sensational location, that combines mountain and sea view, privacy and affordable luxury, Villa Idealia has been designed based on high standards that allow it to justify its name and offer a place for ‘ideal’ holidays to its guests.

The construction of Villa Idealia has been completed in the beginning of 2016. It has been designed with the aim to offer a unique environment to those who treat holidays as a special gift for themselves, as an opportunity to change their pace, to share beautiful moments with their loved ones, to relax, to rejuvenate themselves.

Villa Idealia is built:
-in an ideal location that offers privacy and panoramic view of the picturesque Panormos’ bay.
-on Mortero hill that assures a cool breeze during the summer heat.
-in close distance to the cinematographic beaches and the cosmopolitan life of the island.
-facing west so that it is bathed with the colours of the idyllic sunsets.
-based on a modern architectural design that respects the traditional character of the island.
-with the amenities of a five-star hotel that guarantee luxury and autonomy to its guests

Villa offers its guests a unique opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in one of the most picturesque places in the world.


Villa Idealia is only 5km far from the center/port of Skopelos and 3km far from the beautiful beach of Panormos, known for its crystal clear turquoise sea, white pebbles, pine-clad scenery and a midnight sky full of stars.

Panormos is also known as one of the most cosmopolitan places in Skopelos counting a great number of modern restaurants as well as traditional “tavernas” serving fresh fish and other delicious specialties, coffee-shops, bars, super-markets and bakery shop.

Conveniently located, Villa offers its guests the chance to get to Panormos Beach through the forest, thanks to a footpath (ten minutes walk), and enjoy the sounds, the smells and the authentic character of the island.

Skopelos won the second place in the list with the most visited islands for the summer of 2015.

The island “Kalokairi” in which the story of the well-known film “Mamma Mia” takes place, is actually Skopelos! The successful Hollywood movie, with the celebrated cast and the greatest hits of ABBA, was filmed in Greece and more specifically in Skopelos, Skiathos and Pelion. Everyday, there are small boats with tour guides that visit the locations where the movie was filmed.

Magical escape
Villa Idealia was the perfect home base for my family’s adventures around Skopelos. The view is magnificent and the pool is perfectly placed. The house was very clean with all the amenities we could need. The host were welcoming and very helpful and informative. When they advise you to rent a car, do it! And do it in advance. Our time in the island was both magnificent and magical. We were any 20-30 minutes from any location on the island. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Luxury & Seclusion
Simply put it is absolutely fabulous. Quite the most wonderful location with stunning views over Panormos. But much more than that we were made to feel so welcome by Katerina and Giannis and Afroditi - delivering breakfast treats and responding brilliantly to messages - just fantastic. The villa was perfect - comfortable, cool, fantastically kitted out, lovely beds - just the most amazingly relaxing time. And the pool....beautiful water, no chlorine but still so clean. I can't say enough about this wonderful place - we are already thinking about when we can return.

Family Vacation
I want to share if I could give this property 10 stars I would - we had a wonderful stay in this beautiful villa - the villa accommodations were comfortable, homey, everything was clean and fresh. The kitchen was perfect for our needs and we ate dinner outside nearly every night with the beautiful pool and the view. This villa is close to beaches, tavernas and groceries. I also want to share the wonderful family who owns this villa went above and beyond to make our stay perfect - we had a special event while there - my daughter's boyfriend proposed on the beautiful pool deck area - Afroditi, Stathis, Katerina and Giannis treated us like family and arranged for a perfect proposal moment with flowers, champagne and even a special cake waiting for us. And Mama Stathis brought us a traditional Greek breakfast two mornings - so delicious!! Just can't say enough good words and I only wish the villa was closer as we would be back very soon! Thank you Afroditi for being the perfect host!! 10 STARS!!!

Wonderful villa with amazing view down to Panormos Beach
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa Idealia. It is a lovely fresh house with good A/C and comfortable beds. The owner came round most days with some delicious Greek pastries and cake. Afroditi was really easy to communicate with about the home and was always extremely polite, helpful and prompt. The best thing about this property was the views from the spacious outside areas - all very comfortably furnished. The good doze pool was delightful and was cleaned every morning to keep it looking very pristine. Many thanks Afroditi and Family

Wonderful vacation in best Villa ever!
Villa Idealia is the perfect place for a luxurious holiday, quiet with stunning views from every room. The hosts are great people, spoiled us with delicious food, ready to help us with any problem we might encounter- but I had no problem, the place is great. The villa has everything you might need, the design is special, in colours that remind you that you are in Greece. The pool was great, we spent a lot of time at the pool looking the sea or the amazing sunsets. The beach and taverns in the proximity were great, especially Linarakia Taverna and Yiannis Taverna. The car is needed, but this is true in any location on the Greek islands. Skopelos is very beautiful and I recommend Villa Idealia for a dream holiday.

Perfection!
What a fantastic property. We have travelled extensively and love villa holidays and this is without doubt the best we have ever stayed in. The villa is remote and the wasps are a bit of a nuisance but apart from that it is absolute perfection. The views and the sunset are better than anything we saw in Santorini which is renowned for sunsets. The villa is well equipped with the best of quality from wonderful beds (amazing sleep), quality furnishing, great surround sound and TV, fab kitchen - no expense has been spared in this villa. The fresh eggs in the morning and the cheese pie were, like everything else the best of quality! Warm, friendly father of the owner delivered them. We hired a jeep which is essential as the villa is so remote. We visited many beaches and towns but our best moments were spent chilling and relaxing at the villa with a glass of Greek white wine and great food. Perfection. We would highly recommend this villa - you will not be disappointed. If you enjoy good quality, peace and tranquility, relaxing, chilling and great views this is possibly the best villa you'll find in Greece. From booking to departure everything was well managed, friendly and top quality. Absolute perfection.

Very well appointed villa in quiet, fairly remote location with fabulous views towards Panormas
Villa Idealia is a newly built villa located just below the owners property. On arrival, friendly Giannis of the owners family was on hand to offer a warm welcome and provided fresh figs on a couple of occasions that he had collected from his own garden. The villa itself is reached via a 10 minute drive along a track and hire of a 4x4 is certainly recommended. A car is needed to travel anywhere, though that is no hardship and a normal arrangement for many villa locations on Skopelos. Villa idealia is extremely well appointed whether eating or just relaxing in or out and there are lovely views towards the coast at Panormas. It is possible to walk to Panormas, about a 20 min hike downhill, but the high temperatures in August put us off, so we didn't try. In any event, the walk back uphill is very steep and probably not so much fun in the dark. We enjoyed a couple of days by spent by the pool but also spent a lot of time getting about the island, there is lots to see and places to explore. We enjoyed the nearby beaches at Panormos and Milia, but were quite disappointed with other beaches at Kastani, Limonari and Stafylos so didn't stay put at any of these. They are all beautiful locations but annoyingly busy and in the case of Kastani and Limonari, over developed, loud music etc! Not what we had hoped for, and probably not why people go to Skopelos in the first place. I hope those in a postion to influence development in Skopelos heed the learnings of other beautifully located holiday destinations in Majorca, Corfu, Cyprus, Turkey etc that are now regretting the greed they tolerated and which has caused blight they are now trying to undo. Probably too late. But as a whole, Skopelos is definitely not over developed and there is probably something for everyone. It is a beautiful island and if you are prepared to travel, a number of quieter beaches to explore. For example, Perivoliou on the north-east of the island was lovely. We ate out most evenings and found plenty of great restaurants in Panormos, Agnondas, Glossa and Skopelos Town. And having been out, it was always a joy to return to Villa Idealia and sit out on the terrace for the rest of the evening talking about the day past or planning the next. The villa, and the island of Skopelos was enjoyed by all five adult members of our family and we are very likely to return, we have no hesitation in recommending Idealia as a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended.

Really ideal
We enjoyed the house very much. It is really a wonderful place. We especially appreciated the phenomenal view and the calm situation where we were spared from traffic noise. The nature around the house is splendid. The villa itself exceeded our expectations. It is carefully and tastefully furnished and the moskitonetting on the doors and windows was great (never seen before in such perfection). During the last night when the temperatures rose to tropic heights we were very glad about the airconditioning in the rooms. We enjoyed lying in the shade of the olivetree and watching the swallows dive into the pool to catch a beekfull of water. My husband who likes to cook was happy with the well-equipped kitchen. The neighbors greated us with a tasty Sporadic dish (skopelikiti tiropita). Every day we enjoyed a fresh egg from the hens next door.

Beautifull house with all you need!
We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this beautiful home. The rooms are immaculate, the pool large and the outdoor furniture comfortable and plentiful! Rent a car and use the home as your base as you explore the island. Our hosts were so helpful and friendly. You look out at a gorgeous view of Panormos bay and beach. The hike down to the beach takes about 30minutes and is quite a climb but totally worth it. You can also easily drive down to Panormos, avoid the climb and have your car to bring groceries back. We ate many meals at the Nikos restaurant right on Panormos beach. So tasty! Some nights we sat and drank wine while the kitchen prepared great dishes to go! We then ate them up at the house on our beautiful outdoor dining set. Can't recommend this Villa more highly! Thank you, Afroditi!

Ein Traumurlaub
Wir haben eine wundervolle Woche Traumurlaub in der Villa Idealia verbracht. Alles war perfekt, bis hin zur persönlichen Betreuung durch den im Nebenanwesen wohnenden Vater der Vermieterin, der uns mit frischen Eiern, Feigen und den traditionellen Teigtaschen versorgte. Die Villa ist bestens gepflegt und liebevoll eingerichtet. Der Blick auf die Bucht von Panormos und die Sonneuntergänge unbeschreiblich. Man könnte viel aufzählen, was an dieser Villa für eine Ferienwohnung außergewöhnlich ist. Wer die Abgeschiedenheit mag ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Nochmals Dank an alle, die und so gastfreundlich umsorgt haben.

We had a great stay at villa Idealia during 5 days in August. The villa looks and feels brand new, everything in and around it is perfect. The best view ever. Well looked after and taken care of by very friendly people. Kids had so much fun in the pool, extremely clean and looked after daily.

¡Una casa impecable!
Limpia, cómoda, muy bien equipada, con unas vistas impresionantes. Atendida perfectamente por el padre del propietario que recoge la basura, quita los cojines de las tumbonas cuando llueve, soluciona las dudas que puedas tener, etc. La playa de Panormos esta cerca, unos diez minutos escasos en coche, hay varios restaurantes ahí mismo y se puede bajar caminando por un sendero en unos 15 minutos y alguno mas en subir (Con casi 60 años y sobrepeso) Única pega: el acceso en coche es por un camino sin asfaltar, un par de kilómetros escasos, que se recorren en cuatro o cinco minutos.
