Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sporades

We had a very warm welcome at the magnificent villa!

We had a very good week at Savvas’ place. The house is very comfortable, very cool, we barely used the air conditioning in the middle of August. The view is great from the terrasse and the balcony, you basically always have an eye on the sea, the islands far away, and the trees. Good starting point for shorts treks to the sea. There is a swimming pool that not only kids can use and we enjoyed it at the end of each day. We definitely recommend.

Had an amazing time in Portaria at Katerina and Emilios's beautiful home. They were such gracious hosts, and made us feel welcome immediately. The view from the house is breathtaking - really one-of-a-kind. The house itself is extremely charming. The rooms were very comfortable, and the kitchen had so many small touches, like walnuts/fruits/milk that made us feel welcome. An incredible place to come back to after touring the Pelion region during the days. Highly recommend!

The stay in the villa is pleasant and relaxing. The view is breathtaking. The house is very clean. Comfortably equipped. Suzana was very kind, available and spoiled us with food she cooked. We would love to visit again. Thank you.

A perfect and spacious place to relax with stunning views on the sea and the accommodations of Affisos nearby. Eleni was, like in the past, a perfect host. It was a great week for our family.

Just wow. Without a doubt the most beautiful place we have stayed, which was unanimously agreed by our group of 8. The views and surroundings were stunning and Evan couldn’t have been more kind, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had regular cleans of the whole place, fresh towels and breakfast each morning was a wonderful touch. We cannot wait to come back, 100/10 stay :)

Akis is a great host. Once arrived at his property, he gave us a lot of useful information, he was super kind. The location is great, super peaceful and very clean. We felt like at home. In 5 minutes by Scooter you can reach Skopelos town from one side and Stafylos beach from the other side. In summary, everything was great. Thank you Akis!

Beautiful apartment at excellent location. I stayed with my family and really enjoyed privacy and proximity to the beach also very close to Skopelos town - few min drive for any supplies. There is an excellent restaurant right above the beach and 5 min walk. Very quiet place with stunning views of the Stafylos beach.

We absolutly loved staying here! It beeing right next to the airport and only 7min by car to the city or 30min by foot was super practical. Matoula and Spiros were the best hosts we ever had - they were superfriendly, had great recommendations and even brought us homecooked food over several times which was absolutly delicious. If we ever go back to Skiathos we will definitly stay there again!

This is our second stay at this accommodation and we will try to book it again for next year as soon as we know the dates. There was a problem with the electrical supply (from outside of the property itself). We contacted the host and the problem was solved in remarkably quick time (involving several workers, a cherry picker, all replacing overhead cables). The hosts father kept us informed and made sure we were Okay. Such nice, friendly, helpful people who go over and above what is reasonably expected! Thank you!

We are absolutely in love!!! What a lovely and lovingly furnished house. We can't believe such a little gem is left to strangers. We were very reluctant to leave and will definitely be back. The house is super cozy and tastefully furnished, everything is super clean and in very good condition - there is everything you need in very good quality (from kitchen utensils, nice dishes, hairdryer, extra blankets, pillows etc.). Florian is super nice and was always quickly available. There was very detailed information about the house, all technical equipment, tours in the area and tips for restaurants. We also liked the surroundings very much - even in rain and gray skies it was great! In summer, the house in this wonderful location with all the possibilities for various activities must be just a dream! Dear Florian, thank you for the wonderful time - we will be happy to come back!

Wonderful cabin in beautiful and scenic location. The view from the cabin was particularly nice. Ioannis met us at a central area in town and we followed him by car to the cabin as it is located pretty deep into side roads. There was hot water and all necessary amenities while being pretty compact. There are a number of cats that hang out around the cabin which are a pleasure to play with. There was an additional charge described as a post-booking tax amounting to 8€/day which I was asked to pay in cash in addition to what I paid on Airbnb. The host did mention this before the stay and offered a refund if I did not like this, though it seemed atypical to me having used Airbnb for a long time. Anyway overall a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend for a peaceful getaway.

Thanks so much for sharing!!! We had a great time !! In the next visit to Volos we will definitely visit you again!!!

Christoforos was very kind and helpful at check in and available to message throughout the trip if we needed any information. One of the best hosts we’ve had. The villa is super clean and has got a lot of character as is decorated with very traditional furniture. The outside alone is worth booking this villa- it is absolutely breathtaking and the loungers by the pool are perfect. If you’re looking for somewhere as a retreat and to really relax in peace away from everyone then this is the place. You can park around 100m away from the house and a scenic walk down to the property. I will be returning to this place for sure- it felt like a home at the end of our week. We especially loved Portaria for food and the evening vibe and it is only a 12 minute drive from the property. I would also recommend a small car for Pelion as the roads are quite thin and tight. Overall this place is amazing value for money and we miss it already!

Very good value. All the amenities you need for a stay in town. Shampoo and kitchen washing liquid provided which we did not expect.

We spent a wonderful 10 days here. The location is perfect for anyone who likes to walk to the bakery in the morning and at the same time appreciates absolute peace and privacy. The house has everything you need to feel at home. The kitchen is fully equipped and you can easily take care of yourself. Cooking, baking, grilling, no problem at all. The pool is quite small but very nice for cooling off and hanging out. In addition, you have a beautiful view of the sea from the pool and two of the three upper bedrooms. For extensive swimming, the most beautiful beaches of the island can be reached within ten kilometers by car. Haris was a very accommodating host and always responded quickly to our questions. If you love nature and the sea, this is the place for you.

First of all, let's talk about the house. A real pearl. Simply stunning. The swimming pool is ~6.5 x 4.25m for a depth ~1.2m to 2.2m A very functional large terrace, surrounds the front half of the house, and a small one at the shelter of the sun for freshness breakfasts on the forest side. Perfectly maintained garden, clean, without any overlook. Electric gate and marbled driveway, offers an immediately enchanting and high standard visual. A covered space dedicated to the barbecue is available, with a central table that can accommodate 6 people (see more), brings an extra touch very pleasant and friendly to this beautiful house. Impeccable interior of cleanliness, tastefully decorated and without access or modernity or too rustic. Open kitchen, 2 toilets and shower + bathtub. Impeccable and super comfortable bedding. Let's talk a little about the area... The Prokopi Village: In our opinion, the nicest village in the area. A central square hosts several restaurants, and shops. There are bakeries, mini market, tobacco, butchers,... Leave your car hard the space, and in a few steps away, you'll have done your shopping. Note that the honey from the region is renowned, (as is the thyme, if not mistaken), and many other products are offered by any local or regional. As for the prices, we imagined it would be a little higher, but it's not. The region lives above all from its local economy between local or regional residents. Only small complaint to be made: the (prokopi) restaurants (of prokopi) do not offer (all) cards, or they are not translated. This sometimes makes the orders tricky and have missed some dishes that we would have liked to order when we see them passing under our noses for the table next door:-) But its a detail... Activity in the area: Many beaches are from 15 min (by car) to 35 min. They are all friendly, clean sea, beach services. Most are made of mini stone, or small pebbles mixed with sand and then fine sand in the water. So no bobo on foot. Another important thing is that the beaches are not crowded. You can easily find places there. And most importantly, you don't pay for lounge chairs and umbrellas. Settle in, a beach boy will come by to ask if you would like to drink and eat. Order what you want and that's it. It's still nicer than paying in a vacuum... (this applies to all the beaches visited in the area) The roads in the area are easy and rather wide. A classic sedan will do the trick. On the other hand, with a 4x4 you can access two or three beaches via dirt/pebble roads. We had a Suzuki Jimny 4x4 that was enough for us but a slightly taller model would be more comfortable for some passages. We spent 2 very comfortable weeks, which I would recommend without hesitation. We'd even go back. Efi will welcome you with care and attention. Feel free to ask about the area, she will be happy to advise you. That's it, I'm definitely forgetting things to say, but these, if they're missing, wouldn't be any less positive anyway! Go ahead, you won't be disappointed!!!

Villa Olivia is just a great place if you want to enjoy some days of vacation in a private place with pool nd everything you need from a family point of view. Even if very private place you are in 30 minutes reach of the 2 major cities of skopelos glossa and skopelos town and 30 minutes by ferry to skiathos which is more touristic oriented and hence you can have both options. The view from the Villa is just great, accommodation is just as promised for a island accommodation and Helle/Christian where where always in contact with us so we didn't miss anything... I can warmly recommend this place!

Lovely traditional country house with pool, house and linen clean, kitchen well equipped. Great peaceful location surrounded by chickens, sheep, olive and fruit trees. Kids loved the pool and swing. Pool was cleaned and well maintained by Kostas during our stay. Kostas is a kind and friendly host who is easily contactable House is close to Skopelos town, restaurants and supermarket but would recommend a car.

Came to Skyros Island from Australia to experience a different type of Greek island life -away from the many tourists and hustle of bustle of the more popular islands. Not only did the island not disappoint but can say that hosts like Kostas and Viola are rare. Our stay at Pefkos House together with our fantastic hosts - Kostas and Viola have made this trip to Greece a very memorable one. The house was super clean and very comfortable with 180 degree views to take in every day. On our last night, we were invited by our hosts to a beautiful home cooked Greek dinner at their place under a beautiful night sky. Would definitely love to come back again!!

We had a lovely time in this beautiful place. The house was clean and comfortable, the swimming pool amazingly refreshing and the location ideal, since you can walk to the beach and various beach bars - but still very peaceful. The hosts are friendly but discreet and happy to offer info. All in all a great summer experience!

A fantastic location and an enchanting peaceful place. The pool is wonderful and from there looking at the ships and ski mathos means happiness! Ioannis is super friendly, reliable and reachable at all times!

Phillipos was in touch answering any questions right from the outset. Getting us a cot and car seat for the hire car. He met us at the airport and helped with our luggage and the hire cars. We then followed him to the villa so no need to try and find it ourselves. He checked us in and gave us a welcome drink, sat down and talked through the villa and area and gave recommendations. He was there and supportive the whole time if we needed anything. Excellent host and thoroughly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Vicky's Airbnb in Skopelos. The house was impeccably clean and situated in an excellent location! Vicky was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!
