Villa Mandraki is one of three cutting-edge, designer villas, positioned in an idyllic ancient olive grove on a tree-clad hillside. Boasting magnificent views extending over the Mandraki nature reserve to sandy beaches below, it is an exceptional base for a break in Skiathos. Designed for easy indoor-outdoor living, the villa spans three levels, connected by outdoor stairs. Encompassing sweeping terraces, four bedrooms with their own bathrooms, as well as a kitchen, sitting room with a chic contemporary style aesthetic, it feels spacious and inviting for a group of up to eight guests.From each room, glass doors slide open to wide, sunny or shaded terraces, where you will gravitate for dips in the pool, lie back on soft sun loungers and gather for informal meals together, no doubt while admiring the surrounding scenery and the sparkling Aegean sea view. Head through the trees towards the coast along a path and you will arrive at Ligaries beach, a long sandy stretch, as well as taverna. Everything on the island can be reached by car within 30 minutes of the villa, including an array of restaurants and shops in Skiathos town.The FactsIndoors:First floor: Bedroom 1: double with en suite bathroom and private terrace.Ground floor: Kitchen with high dining table for 8, living room, bedroom2: double bedroom with with en suite bathroom.Lower ground floor: Bedroom 3 and 4: doubles with en suite bathrooms.
