Country Villa Kalimera | Private Hilltop Villa in Skopelos with Pool & Views
Country Villa Kalimera is a private hilltop villa in Skopelos with a pool, sweeping 360° sea and mountain views, and a big garden — ideal for couples, families, and friends seeking a peaceful island escape.
Lovingly restored from a traditional stone farmhouse, the villa blends authentic Greek character with modern comforts. Surrounded by nature and open landscapes, it offers privacy and relaxed outdoor living. Secluded yet convenient, Skopelos Town is just 10-min away and the nearest beach 12-min.
MAIN DESCRIPTION
Country Villa Kalimera is ideal for guests looking for a private and peaceful environment in an authentic countryside setting. The home works beautifully for romantic getaways, families traveling together, or groups of friends reconnecting.
The villa sits within a large fenced garden featuring hammocks, sunbeds, shaded dining areas, and a traditional 100-year-old outdoor BBQ. Guests can relax beneath olive, fig, almond, pomegranate, and lemon trees, with plenty of seating in both sun and shade.
For remote work or longer stays, we provide a dedicated home office setup (large desk, ergonomic chair, 4K monitor, sound system, chargers and adapters). For those who enjoy staying active, there’s also basic home workout equipment including yoga and bodyweight accessories.
The surrounding rural landscape is perfect for long walks and mountain biking. A car is essential to explore Skopelos comfortably. Skopelos Town is about 10 minutes away by car, the closest beach around 12 minutes, and many of the island’s most beautiful beaches are within a 15–20 minute drive. Nearby ancestral mountain trails also lead downhill toward town for those who enjoy walking.
We’re committed to sustainability: 100% of the electricity used at Country Villa Kalimera comes from renewable green energy sources.
The property is also available for mid- to long-term winter stays — feel free to enquire.
INDOOR SPACE
Upon entering, you’ll immediately feel the warm, rustic character of the house. The stone-built fireplace anchors the living room, complemented by high wooden ceilings and an open loft above.
The loft is accessed via a spiral staircase and features a double bed plus direct access to a spacious sun terrace. From here, you can enjoy beautiful views toward the sea, Alonissos island, and the Stafilos valley — and some of the villa’s most memorable sunrises (Kalimera means “good morning” in Greek).
The living room offers traditional built-in sofas (which can also be used as two single beds) and opens onto the country-style kitchen with terracotta floors and blue accents. A large wooden dining table sits at the center of the space. One of the two bathrooms is conveniently located next to the kitchen.
The master bedroom includes a double bed, antique wardrobe, en-suite bathroom, and a private entrance.
The house provides modern amenities while respecting its traditional style.

Beautiful villa on stunning island
As beautiful as in the pictures. We are a family of 5 with 2 teenagers and a 21-year old but still had plenty of room. Very hot but always somewhere to sit in the shade with fantastic views. Insects not a problem. Friendly black and white cat joined us for the last few days (sad to leave her!). Pool was great - large enough to swim in. Bottle of water & wine in fridge on arrival was a nice touch. Cannot fault the villa but should point out that the drive up from Skopelos is very steep with hairpin bends & requires a confident driver (not for the faint- hearted!). Loved this villa - a memorable holida.

Goat bells and olive trees
This is a beautiful home in countryside and we were greeted with such genuine hospitality. We loved the view, the peace and quiet, and the traditional character of the property. The road from town is very steep but after doing it a couple times we felt comfortable with the drive. Relaxing by the pool after a day of exploring Skopelos, napping in the hammock, and star gazing and sunrise watching from the amazing roof top terrace were all memorable! We would love to return!

Happy holiday!
We had a lovely stay in Kalimera .. the house was lovely and full of character and the garden and views were beautiful. There was a lot of nature and would suit people who are not worried by this. It was a very peaceful place and it was particularly nice to sit on the roof terrace in the evening watching the stars come out. The drive down to skopelos town is steep but ok ... although we didn’t often go out because after a day on the beach we just wanted to relax at home and enjoy the environment. We enjoyed having a barbecue and in the end we never did make it into town for dinner because we preferred to be at Kalimera. It was a special place to wake up in and go outside to sit in the shade of the fig tree watching swallows dipping into the pool.

A beautiful and peaceful place to stay
Alessandro has been absolutely great, throughout the whole process, and made the whole trip very smooth.
The villa itself is stunning, as you can see from the photos, and I can only echo what others have said about it. The pool is well maintained and a good size, the roof terrace was lovely, amazing views - and there is a sense of space and tranquility throughout the villa and garden. A lovely authentic Greek villa.
There were occasional wasps outside, as we expected - specially if you eat outside - but we got used to them and worked around them, and no one got stung. We were grateful for the ceiling fans plus additional fan as it was mid August and hot at night! Easy access to Skopelos town, and also lots of lovely beaches, but our two teenagers probably would have been happy staying in the villa as it had everything they needed. It's worth exploring the island more widely, and we found some amazing spots including monasteries and ancient burial sites - if you do this just make sure your rental car is up to the steep hills!
All thanks to Alessandro, and we would highly recommend this gorgeous villa.

Maison pleine de charme
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille avec deux « grands enfants » majeurs a Skopelos. L’un a dormi dans la chambre en mezzanine, l’autre sur l’un des canapés du salon qui fait un très bon lit. La maison est pleine de charme et reste fraiche en journée. Le jardin, avec ses espaces ombragés et ses nombreuses essences qui embaument (figuier, Oliviers, sauge, basilic, etc) est un véritable atout. La localisation, a 10 minutes de Skopelos est tres pratique pour faire des courses ou aller dîner et permet d’accéder en 20 minutes maximum a de tres nombreuses plages et villages. La cuisine est bien équipée en ustensiles de cuisines et verres. Quelques assiettes a dessert supplémentaires seraient bienvenues.

De locatie is buiten heel sfeervol met verschillende zitjes. Uitzicht is mooi met heerlijk zeembad.
De woning is qua inrichting gedateerd en niet helemaal proper. De tweede slaapkamer bevindt zich op een vide waardoor de privacy daar wat minder is.

Super Ausblick, Alleinlage und toller Pool
Sehr schönes älteres Haus mit tollem Ausblick auf Skopelos Stadt und den Hafen und das Meer. Highlight ist der Pool und die Dachterrasse.
Sehr netter Vermieter, der sich um alles gekümmert hat und uns sogar, weil wir ungeplant einen Tag früher abreisen mussten, kulanterweise eine Nacht erstattet hat. Danke Alessandro, es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Beautiful traditional house
Villa Kalimera is a really authentic house, as charming as the island. I would highlight its great outdoor areas (porch, pool, terrace). The beauty of the view and the garden is much greater than the photos.
Gabriella's and Alessandro's family were very kind and hospitable. Communication was great.
I would highly recommend this place. We are looking forward to stay in again.

Prezzo/qualità scadente
La casa è ubicata a 5Km dal paese su una strada con pendenze da "fuoristrada". Non si tratta di una villa, come indicato sulla presentazione, ma di un casolare di campagna molto piccolo, pieno di oggetti di famiglia e sprovvisto di adeguati spazi per ospiti e bagagli. La seconda camera non è indipendente, bensì collocata su un soppalco sopra la cucina, con un semplice materasso a terra. I bagni sono microscopici, con lavabo piccolo come un lavamani, e doccia inadeguata. Positivi gli spazi esterni con barbecue e piscina. L'accoglienza è stata delegata solo ad un custode greco (che non parla inglese), senza indicazioni di tipo turistico sulla località.

Farniente sous le figuier...
Accrochée à flanc de colline au dessus du port de Skopelos, cette maison est l'endroit parfait pour décompresser et profiter des charmes de la superbe île de Skopelos. Aux heures les plus chaudes de la journée ses nombreuses terrasses ombragées et sa piscine donnant sur des panoramas superbes sont des plus appréciables. Bref un très bel endroit avec un accueil très pro d'Alessandro et de Christos.
