Villa Melia
A hillside pool among olive trees, 150 metres from the sea
About this hotel
Villa Melia sits up on the Vassilias hillside, its studios opening onto a private balcony or patio with either garden or Aegean Sea views depending on the exact position among the olive trees and magnolias. Each unit is genuinely self-catering, a well-equipped kitchenette alongside white furnishings, a TV and air conditioning, built for an independent pace rather than a hotel schedule. The shared pool on its stone-paved terrace gives the property a natural gathering point, and despite the elevation, Vasilias Beach lies just 150 metres downhill, with the wider stretch toward Skiathos Town's old port roughly 1.5 kilometres away by road. Common areas stay simple rather than elaborate, in keeping with the size of the property.
- Hillside setting
- Swimming pool
- Self-catering studios
- Garden or sea views
Our take
This suits couples and families who want space, privacy and a kitchen over a standard hotel room, particularly for stays of a week or longer where the self-catering pays off. The hillside setting means a car helps for reaching Skiathos Town, a trade-off worth weighing against the quiet and the view. Travelers wanting daily restaurant variety within walking distance should look toward the harbor instead.
- ✓Confirm your studio's exact view before booking, garden and sea outlooks vary by position on the hillside.
- ✓Walk down to Vasilias Beach in the morning, it is an easy 150-metre stroll from most units.
- ✓Stock the kitchenette early in your stay, the hillside position means fewer nearby shops than a town-centre stay.
