La Piscine Art Hotel, Philian Hotels and Resorts
An Olympic-sized pool, five minutes from the centre
About this hotel
La Piscine Art Hotel builds its stay around a genuinely large Olympic-sized swimming pool, set in a peaceful area that still sits only a five-minute walk from the centre of Skiathos. Guest rooms are stylish and well-appointed, rich fabrics and modern bathroom facilities rather than a standard hotel finish, and the adults-only setting keeps the pool deck calm even in peak season. Free breakfast is included, and staff lean into full service, aiming for a relaxing, attentive stay rather than a self-service one. The old town's restaurants and the port remain an easy walk for evenings out. Common areas stay simple rather than elaborate, in keeping with the size of the property. None of this is flashy, but it covers what a short island stay actually needs.
- Large pool
- Adults-only
- Full-service staff
- Peaceful setting
Our take
This suits couples wanting a genuinely large pool alongside full hotel service, a rarer combination in a town of mostly small aparthotels. The adults-only setting and peaceful location add real calm despite the central position. Families needing a kids' pool or family rooms should look elsewhere, since this property is built specifically around an adults-only stay.
- ✓Book a poolside sunbed early during peak season, the Olympic-sized pool still draws a full deck by mid-morning.
- ✓Take advantage of the included breakfast rather than eating out every morning.
- ✓Walk the five minutes into the centre for dinner variety beyond the hotel's own service.

Why guests love itAs a couple, the Olympic-sized pool genuinely lived up to its billing, real lengths rather than a token hotel pool, and the adults-only setting kept it calm even in August. Being a five-minute walk from the centre meant dinner in town was effortless most nights, and the included breakfast meant mornings never required a decision. It is the kind of detail a guest notices without needing to be told about it.
