Paradise!
Posted Jun. 18, 2024 on HomeAwayA beautiful, charming villa with a huge amount of character and lots of space including a detached 'Guest Cottage' with it's own facilities. Aircon in all bedrooms with the lounge and kitchen areas kept cool by the thick walls of the villa. Outside spaces are superb topped by a wonderful pool area. The panoramic views are sensational and include the Port and Glossa. We were met in Glossa and guided to the villa which was necessary given how the villa is accessed. As mentioned in previous reviews the road/track down to villa Thalia is very rough, narrow and steep and not for the faint hearted. Once parked, there is a 100 yard, or so, dirt track to navigate before arriving at the villa therefore this isn't a place for anyone with mobility issues. Having said this, the pay off is a beautiful, private, quiet villa with views that are a tonic to the soul!

Stay at Villa Thalia, Glossa, Skopelos
Posted Jul. 29, 2023 on HomeAwayThanks Anja for an unforgettable stay at Ville Thalia!
We enjoyed the whole family, adults and children, the place is beautiful and directly invites you to relax in the garden with a pool and a view of the sea. The location of the villa means that it is practically necessary to rent a car, as the local paths (to the beautiful Glossa and the port), although we like to walk, are overgrown and difficult to access in the summer (even considering the terrain and the heat). The villa is well maintained, it welcomed us with cleanliness and a pleasant rural atmosphere. Thanks Anthoula for the great service, cleaning including the pool and help with transportation to/from the villa to the port. We have gathered energy for many days ahead, we are still reminiscing and look forward to stay again sometime (even with cat companions)!

Thank you Katerina, Very happy to know, you and your large family of 6, enjoyed staying at Villa Thalia. The cats are not mine, but they know how to find some one who likes them! (and feeds them!)
Hope to see you again! Anja

Great "retreat" away from big cities
Posted Jul. 17, 2023 on HomeAwayWe loved staying at Villa Thalia. We've called it a "retreat" because we felt it was a great place to recharge. You have the sea in front of you and the forest surrounding the property. All you need to do is to let yourself immerse in the peace of the place.
The North part of the island was a great choice because Glossa (the main village) is a gem that has tavernas and small shops and where, after a few days, we had the feeling we know everyone at the shops and in the village.
Skopelos is not for holiday party lovers. Skopelos is a great retreat away from the big cities.

Rustic charm in idyllic location
Posted Jun. 23, 2023 on HomeAwayVilla Thalia occupies a beautiful location looking west towards the harbour below, the distant mainland, and beyond that, the setting sun.
The villa is in a lovely mature garden and has a perfect sized swimming pool.
We discovered some fabulous walks nearby and spent most of our two weeks nature watching in the surrounding area. Warblers and Nightingales abound.
This is by far the prettiest and most untouristy part of the island.
Our main guilty pleasure was the bakery, Kyraleni, in Glossa. This was only a forty minute walk away.

Best part of Skopolos
Posted Sep. 24, 2022 on HomeAwayBeautiful views and setting. Easy to access the best parts of the island - beaches and Glossa with good restaurants. Villa Manager was very responsive and answered all our questions very quickly

Villa Thalia - a perfect escape.
Posted Sep. 10, 2022 on HomeAwayVilla Thalia is a hidden gem on an amazing island. The villa is full of magical charm, very rustic but the most idyllic setting with the most beautiful sunsets ever!
The pool, beautiful gardens, charming house & a few friendly cats made for a perfect escape.
And Skopelos has lovely deserted beaches even in August. Glossa with its lovely bakery and excellent restaurants is very close by, but definitely a car is needed. We had a fiat Panda for 5 of us no problem!
Thank you Anja for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We hope we can return one day.

An absolute gem nested in the olive groves
Posted Aug. 4, 2022 on HomeAwayWe absolutely loved our stay in Villa Thalia!
Extremely private, very quiet, with stunning sea view!
The house and the surroundings garden are like small piece of heaven.
The island is amazing but by far our favorite view is from this garden.
Overall this was the best place for our family vacation ever!

Amazing experience
Posted Jul. 25, 2022 on HomeAwayThis place is magical! We enjoyed every moment there.
The views are out of this world, the house has a typical , Greek character which we wanted. Contact with the host and the property manager in town was easy and straightforward.
The only downside is the fact the house does not have a parking spot and is located on the edge of the steep cliff, therefore you need a 4wheel drive to manage going up ( we had to stop one time as there was another car going from the opposite direction and we had to back up the whole way as our car would not start from the stop position / we did not have 4 wheel drive). Also more difficult for older folks to walk to the house with luggage but they are very helpful as they pick you up from the ferry and show you the way to the house).
Overall this house was a dream and nothing would ever spoil the experience for me!

Thanks Agnes,We are always happy to know our guests had a good time and loved staying at Villa Thalia. Sorry to hear about parking problems..we have used our parking for the last 15 years, but now some one else has claimed it as their private plot and has closed the space.. We hope to sort it out for the future. You are right about renting a 4x4 car, although as I mentioned earlier my little
Fiat Soleil is still going strong, not in the rain though.
Hope to see you back at Villa Thalia in the future,
THALIA.

We had an amazing time at Villa Thalia. It's an idyllic place and setting. Will definitely revisit.
Posted Jun. 12, 2022 on HomeAwayThe property is gorgeous and rustic with stunning views.
We did trade in our rental car for an SUV to handle the steep and rough hill to the villa, but that was the only small draw back in an otherwise perfect week.

Thanks David, Nothing we can do about the road. But will advice future guests for a SUV.
Myself I have a very old and small Fiat Soleil, no problem!! As long as it does not rain !
Hope to see you again, Anja
