Zorbathes Accommodation details 

The Barn

 

   


The Barn is so called because it originally started its life as a place to store hay & grain. It was slowly converted into the modern house which it has now become and is a lovely house for those looking for peace and quiet.

It is surrounded by fruit trees, oleanders, Virginia creeper, vines & flowering shrubs. There is a large shady patio & another sitting area under the shade of a large pine tree.

 

A lot of  wood, terra-cotta & native materials has been incorporated as much as possible during the conversion & it has developed a distinctive character all of its own. 

 

It is situated in its own grounds providing complete privacy. The accommodation consists of a fully equipped kitchen & open-plan living room with French doors leading out to the patio. There is a bathroom with bath and shower & a smaller bathroom with just shower facilities. The bedrooms are situated in two "wings". One wing has a large bedroom with a double bed, a small bedroom with a single bed and an extra bed in a small sleeping "loft". The other (newly built) wing has a double bed in a smaller bedroom and 2 single beds in a large upstairs bedroom with a balcony.

This is an ideal house for a family of 4 to 7 or a small group who know each other

 

 

The farmhouse

Sleeps 6 to 7 people in 4 bedrooms

 

   

 

The Farmhouse is built in traditional style in rock, wood & stucco, natural slate & tiles. Internally laid floors are of wood & terra-cotta tiles. The cupboards & kitchen furniture are all hand made in pinewood. Outside is a large shady patio of Pelion slate, with a barbecue, & a lawn with shade from cypress, olive & fig trees. Creeping up the walls are bougainvillea, jasmine, honey-suckle & oleanders. The patio is surrounded by pot-plants & flowering shrubs.

 

The accommodation consists of a large, fully equipped kitchen, with steps leading down to "The Snug" where the fireplace is situated. There is a bathroom with bath & shower, & a smaller toilet with hand-basin upstairs. Downstairs there is a double bedroom with an en suite bathroom & a twin bedroom. Upstairs is another double bedroom & a small, 1 person, sleeping "loft" (ideal for a child). There is ample room for 1 bed to be added should it be necessary for a large family or group.

They are just 5 minutes drive from the nearest sandy beaches. Car Hire is recommended. There is a good size organic (salt not chlorine) swimming pool which is shared between the 2 properties.

We are also happy to arrange special activity vacations. One example is a painting holiday where you can take advantage of the wonderful Greek light and also, if you wish, receive instruction from a qualified teacher. We can offer walking holidays where you will get to the places on Skiathos that most people do not reach and enjoy beautiful scenery on the way. Also possible are wildflower holidays, sailing holidays, tennis holidays, holidays partly on Skiathos and partly on Pelion or Mount Olympus, or combinations of all the above. If you have a special pursuit you would like to follow, email me and see if we can arrange something suitable

  Customer Feedback
"
Our time on Skiathos fulfilled our every expectation and then some. This was in no small part due to your wonderful accommodation and your hospitality. It makes all the difference in the world if one feels welcome and you and Lida have that down to a fine art. What you have created in the ZorbathesValley is very special: I'm quite sure many others have said the same thing. What is so patently obvious is that the stone house is not just that, its a home. For us  it was the quantum difference between straightforward accommodation  and a quality experience."
