Top Notch
Review Submitted: August 10, 2009

I was a bit suspicious of all the glowing reports of this villa, but it's true. It's a great place to stay - amazing views, air conditioning, nice pool, perfect location and above all marvellous hosts.
The standard rooms are smallish, but spotlessly clean with very effective air conditioning, a powerful shower and safe.
Achladies is a nice resort, just busy enough to have several restaurants and shops, but not heaving with tourists and loud bars. The beach is exceptionally clean, as indeed is the whole of Skiathos - no rubbish, flies and not even any mosquitos that we saw.
If you're the sort of person that needs to moan about something, I suppose the traffic noise might annoy you, but being located so near to a bus stop is great, and it's good to sit on your balcony and watch the world go by (the road is between the villa and the sea).
Skiathos town is bustling, but not in a lager lout sort of way, and there are many beaches to visit around the island, with a very frequent and cheap bus service.
Again, what really makes this place stand out are the hosts, Dounia and Captain and their lovely dogs. I'm missing Tulip already...
