Villa Galini is great if you want to base yourself just outside Skiathos Town. Standing on a gently rising hillside in the neighbouring resort of Megali Ammos, it is only a ten-minute walk from the local pebbly beach, tavernas, bars and shops. When you want to venture into Skiathos Town, meanwhile, the capital is just under two kilometres down the road - walkable in around 20 minutes or a few minutes by local bus or car. Despite its central location, the villa enjoys a quiet setting and beautiful views over lushly wooded slopes down to the sea.

Outside, you will find an inviting pool lined with sunloungers, plus a long sun terrace accessed from the sitting room, complete with a table and chairs ideal for admiring the scenery. In terms of design, the villa is arranged over three storeys and modern throughout, with sleek, high quality furnishings dominating. The bright and spacious lounge-diner is impressively kitted out with plump sofas, a fireplace and dining table seating six, while the open-plan, contemporary kitchen is fitted with smart wooden units and all the essentials. Two of the stylish bedrooms are on the lower ground floor, with both linking to their own outdoor terrace.

The main double, meanwhile, is on the top floor and comes with yet another terrace, as well as an in-room Jacuzzi - another touch of luxury.
