Great location, ocean view, great service and communication from host, lots of room.

The views from the villa are beautiful and ita€™s wonderful to sit on the bedroom balconies and patio and gaze out. The villa itself is beautiful, traditional and surrounded by flowers. We absolutely loved it in this villa and on Skopelos.

We loved our time on the wonderful island of Skopelos, and our stay at Villa Ourania played a central role in this. The villa was spacious even for our group of eight, and well located close to amenities, with a view over Skopelos Town that we enjoyed from the terrace at all hours of the day. The pool was an oasis to refresh after hot days. Bruna the local representative was very helpful and responsive.

The photos are misleading. The pool: the palm trees shown (and mentioned in the reviews) are no longer there, nor are the nice wooden sun loungers and table. The wheels only work on one sun lounger. It’s overgrown so you can’t see the villa from the pool nor the pool from the villa (in case you want to watch children). The nice rattan furniture in the photos does not exist, the nice double deck chair lies broken down the side, the director chairs (bar two) are broken and also down the side in an area that looks like a waste tip, with old wine bottles. I don’t know why the owners don’t take these items to the dump.The ‘dishwasher’ is minuscule, 12 inches high and can only fit 4 of the dinner plates provided. Not suitable for 8 people. There is no love put into the villa. Frames are on the wall with the space saying ‘photo here’. It’s quite unbelievable. The villa could be amazing but it seems that the owners don’t care that much. Also NB, the downstairs bathroom is not en suite as advertised so you can’t walk from bathroom to bedroom without opening onto the cooking area. Also the water comes back up through the drain in the floor when you shower so the bathroom becomes slippery and wet.The male owner came into the house early on two occasions, one time coming in and knocking on the bedroom door at 9am! We had teenage girls with us so it made this even less appropriate. The outside of the building is beautiful and the view is stunning but everything else lets it down.
