Villa Fotini Kalivi in Raches

Our second visit to this secluded quirky stylish villa set in the peaceful green countryside of Skopelos. It is everything we want in a Greek island stay. It is so quiet! The small villa is perfect for a couple offering everything you could need for your stay.The hosts Fotini and Machi are so welcoming. You can find comfy dining and lounging, sunbathing and swimming or comfy shaded relaxing within the amazing terraced outdoor spaces. Each level is surrounded by gardens and an olive grove with the most amazing breathtaking mountain and sea views. The perfect place to reset.

The villa is a perfect hide away for a couple. The welome gifts left by the host were most generous and much appreciated after a long days travel. Inside it is stylish and spacious with all the facilities you possibly could need. The outside space has lots of comfy areas with options of sun or shade and views at each level are fabulous with nature all around you. If I were to design a perfect villa this would be it.

This cute villa is in such a tranquil location, totally secluded, low down in the peaceful countryside of Raches. It is well shielded from the noise of the port and old town, you can't even hear the ferries. Though it's small inside, this property is extremely clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with attractive landscaping outside, split over three levels with great lighting. This property is ideal for a couple (not young children). The king-size bed was very comfortable and the shower was of a good size. The pool was fantastic and sunbeds were so comfy, everything was of good quality. Given its location at the bottom of a dirt-track road, you need suitable transport; a quad bike is ideal. Don't expect to find it without help from Machi or Fotini! Machi was lovely, so helpful, and she responded really quickly to messages, making our stay even more special.

There was nothing not to like, apart from leaving this little paradise villa behind! It's a shame the ground floor doesn't have air-conditioning, but we spent little time in the kitchen and lounge area so this wasn't a problem.

The views and outdoor spaces are incredible!! The top terrace has a wonderful view of the hills and sea all day and if you wake early enough it’s a great spot to watch the sunrise from. The main space is brilliant for a couple as it’s got everything you need but cosy enough to maintain with relative ease. The host was wonderful and left lovely gifts for us.

There’s a €10 per day tourist tax not included in the booking.

Arty and stylish villa with sea and mountains view. Very comfortable. Clean, tidy and well equipped house. Surrounded by breathtaking garden and nature. Swimming poole stunning and professionally maintained. Garden fully illuminated at night which only adds to the magic. Located in peaceful are but close enough to the Skopelou Town, shops, tavernas and beaches. However any kind of Moto recommended especially in hot summer time. We have been so grateful to spend August in Villa Fotini. We re-set, re-focus, re-adjust, re-start as many times as we needed it. Enjoyed every moment.

To leave our Fotini Paradise.
