General Introduction
Ambelonas Cottage in Skopelos: General Introduction

Villa Ambelonas' rustic atmosphere and charm is sure to please those looking for the experience of living in a real Greek country home with the added touch of a private swimming pool. Surrounded by huge old eucalyptus and fruit trees, this lovely cottage was once a vineyard and corn milling cottage and has a tiny church on its property that was frequented by the nearby neighbours in the days of old. The house has 2 bedrooms and 2 w/c shower rooms.

Ambelonas cottage is great for couples wanting a holiday in the Greek countryside with the privacy of their own swimming pool. Families too can enjoy the peace and nature with plenty of space to explore, but be close enough to the island's best beaches and restaurants.

Accommodation & Facilities

Off the dining room is a bedroom with two single beds and a spacious w/c shower room. An open doorway at the opposite end leads to the brand new country kitchen, which is fully equipped and includes a washing machine. There is a back kitchen door leading to the rear of the house where there is a washing line. Continuing around the L-shaped design of the house, an open doorway leads to a spacious living room, which has a large fireplace and a sitting area with two Skopelitian sofas and comfortable chairs. The best feature of this room though, is the huge glass doors which lead to the terrace. This large terrace is surrounded by flowers and trees and has a path leading to the private swimming pool. The lovely old feel of the cottage is emphasised by the use of the various original tools and utensils to decorate its spaces. These were all found near the house and lovingly restored and displayed as a testimony to its history as a working farmhouse.

The master bedroom is reached by an outside stone stairway and is an example of the original country-style bedrooms found in this type of cottage. The raw wood floors, fireplace and enormous bed were a must during the days when families spent days in the countryside, cut off from civilisation. The decor is simple and comfortable. The bed runs along one entire wall of the room and is covered with an immense mattress, which was intended to provide sleeping space for all the family together during olive or fruit picking season. The addition of a single bed is perfect for a younger child to sleep in with parents. The WC/shower room is situated on the same landing but with a separate outside entrance.

Outdoor Facilities
Ambelonas Cottage in Skopelos: Outdoor Facilities

The house, which is hidden in a forest of pine trees, is centred amidst a terrace shaded by a huge old acorn tree. The patio has plenty of atmosphere and space for outdoor living with sun lounges and a table and chairs for dining al-fresco. A path leads from this terrace to the private swimming pool, set amongst the natural trees and grounds. Years ago, this land was a large vineyard, producing the fine wines that Skopelos was once famous for. There are still the remains, perfectly intact, of the original stone-built corn mill with its circular form making a picturesque place to sit and relax today. Stairs from the terrace lead to the beautiful small chapel of Panagitsa dating from 1932, which sits on the remains of a much older church. On church holidays, there were visitors from miles around to attend the services and thus, the cottage was built to have a place to gather.
