Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

The four of us travelled to Skopleos via Athens and Skiathos in May of this year and stayed one week. I can honestly say that while the journey here was quite the experience in itself it was so worth the effort. From our first contact to finally stepping off the ferry the owner Antony was prompt and accurate in his replies, reliable and gracious in his dealings with us. We were more than comfortable throughout the booking process. Sara, the local caretaker was always on call and was extremely helpfull. When we had a small issue she was there at the villa within 10 minutes to correct the problem.
Villa Petaloutha sits high on the hills overlooking Glossa and the waters below. Skiathos lies directly across and behind that in the distance mainland Greece. Sunrise, all day sun, beautiful sunsets each day with the exception of one when a storm marched across the seas and lightening bolts streaked to the waters surface ..fascinating to watch! Evening skys were filled with a hundred billion stars overhead..what a beautiful setting indeed!
The driveway to the villa, 1st time up and down is not for the faint of heart until you get used to it. The villa is very private, is comfortably furnished and offers all the amenities one needs. The pool offers great views and cooling waters from the heat of the day. We spent many moments here, staring out, shaing drinks and private conversation or reading. Every day we would go down to the local market store to get our supplies as needed and if there was something they did not have then we could travell to the other market at the port which was open on Sundays ..where the other one is not.
Skopelos is extremely rugged and beautiful. We visited several beaches across the island and becasue it was mid May they were deserted which was great for picnics and alone time.
Villa Petaloutha was the perfect accommodation offering peace, tranquility and unmatched views and we feel we received more than what we paid for. Highly recommended..cant wait to return!
safe travels,
Tramper

This is my favourite place in the world. Villa Petaloutha has been a big part of my life for many years - I have been lucky enough to holiday here many times with friends and family. The breathtaking views never cease to amaze and delight; the calm, the serenity, the space and the feel make this a truly stunning holiday spot. This is a home, not a holiday house. It is loved and makes us, as guests, feel very welcome and privileged. We will be back.

Wir haben eine Woche mit 6 Personen die Villa Petaloutha genutzt und es war herrlich. Die Villa liegt ca. 10 Minuten von Glossa entfernt auf einem Hügel und hat einen traumhaften Blick über das Meer. Das Haus strömt einen sehr privaten Charakter aus, was sicherlich daran liegt, dass der Eigentümer (Antony Thomas) das Haus selbst regelmäßig nutzt. Alle Beschreibungen entsprechen der Realität. Ich kann Villa Petaloutha wärmstens empfehlen.

This has been the most wonderful villa we ever had been to! What a magnificent place to be!! Everything was more than expected - breathtaking views, three terraces where it is hard to decide where to sit down and enjoy the surrounding nature, beautiful pool which is refreshing and fun, great living room and kitchen full with charming atmosphere and lots of good books, sleeping rooms are quaint, large and comfy. the location is remote, a beautiful short walk connects to the village with restaurants and shops.
The island in general is also worth to visit and stay.
Only problem: it is very hard to leave!

We spent a fabulous week in this gorgeous villa with it’s rustic charm. The views over Skiathos and neighbouring islands are absolutely amazing. We have had wonderful views in other villas over the years but this one Surpasses them all!
The owner was so helpful prior to our stay sending me photos of the steps inside the villa to ensure my elderly Mother would be able to manage. The car was all arranged for us and we were met at the port to be escorted to the villa!
If you Enjoy walks/hiking there is amazing country
side around the villa and Glossa is not out of reach on foot.
The villa is very well equipped - there was nothing that we needed that wasn’t already available to us.
I would highly recommend this villa for a quiet holiday away from it all! Thank you!

Villa Petaloutha is beautiful and very comfortable. Antony was extremely helpful with advice on the travel and the housekeeper Eleni made us immediately feel very welcome. The drive up to the house is quite steep and winding but you are rewarded when you arrive at the house as the views are stunning with amazing sunsets. The house is beautifully furnished , the third bedroom has a separate external access from the main house and at a lower level via stairs , while the two bedrooms within in the main house are lovely and spacious with access to various roof terraces. There are also lovely terraces around the pool which all enjoy the great views. Glossa is very pretty , quite quiet in July but I imagine it gets busier in August , there was a wonderful traditional dance festival while we were there. We enjoyed lots of the local restaurants on the evening and the lovely coastal walk to the bakers in Glossa in the morning. A truly wonderful villa in a very magical location

Beautiful, private, peaceful villa atop tree-lined hills with magnificent sea views. Just sublime.
This most wonderful villa is spectacularly situated above everything for miles around. The next nearest property is probably 1km away, so very private. Perfectly positioned just 10 minutes from Glossa, 30 minutes from Skopelos and 20 minutes from our favourite beach at Agnondas, it's a haven of peace and tranquility, yet with everything this wonderful little island has to offer within easy reach. The pool is fabulous and upstaged only by the different, landscaped terraces about which we lounged under the sun in the day and from which we drank sundowners, watching the sun sink behind the islands across the sea, in the evening. Inside, we felt instantly at home amidst eclectic design, comfortable furniture and a choice of sunny balconies. It far surpassed our expectations and, given the pictures already show a wonderful villa, that's saying something. It was our great fortune to arrive in time to meet the owner, Antony, who couldn't have been kinder or more helpful and hospitable. Thank you Antony and Miranda; it was the greatest pleasure and privilege to stay in your gorgeous home. I hope we can make it back again soon.
