Thessaly Vacation Rentals

"Quality newly opened property (2025) in a great location on the seafront. Excellent rooms and amenities, friendly staff and a spa and gym which is a bonus in this location. Pool is bigger than it looks on photos. Staff can meet you in golf buggies from the ferry and drop you off, which is a nice touch though it’s not a difficult walk. Food and drink is good but pricier than local restaurants. Only niggle was key card stopped working at exactly 11am on checkout day - we were in final stages of checking out across 2 rooms and got locked out. Never experienced that before and didn’t leave a good impression."

"We chose Hotel Rene as it looked more our style, a bit more relaxed and a homely feel. Our instinct was right. What a wonderful hotel, small, charming, good amenities and wonderful owners and staff. They could not do more to help if they tried. Exactly what we wanted and needed. We really enjoyed sitting on our balcony taking in the excellent view, chilling by the nicely sized pool (reasonsbly rare in Skiathos town). It is a short walk to the beach (5-10mins), and also very quick to town (10-15mins depending where you want to go). The bus stop is just at the bottom of the road to explore the island (very convenient), and right next to that is the Super Market for anything you might need. That being said the Hotel also has a reasonably priced store for any food, water or other drinks you might need. I would definitely look at staying here again when visiting Skiathos. You may have noticed others saying the hotel is situated on top of a hill, the upside of this - great views and a very easy walk to town or the beach! The downside is of course coming back. I must say if you are of low-moderate fitness (like me) this should be manageable for most people. It is 2-3 minutes of a steep up hill then you're done. If you have mobility issues it may not be advisable, but taxis will take you from the town for 10€. Please don't let this put you off, but you should be aware of it. It didn't worry us, and we did not regret it our choice!"

"My partner and I apent a wonderful 7-night stay at Hotel Paradise. This is a family-run hotel in which each member of staff can’t do enough to help and accommodate you. The hotel itself is well-laid out to ensure privacy in your rooms/on the balconies. The pool area is beautiful and peaceful. The hotel runs a free minibus service to and from Skiathos town meaning you can easily access the restaurants and shops in this busier area but also choose to stay within the calm environs of the hotel and surrounding gardens. When we return to Skiathos, we wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else :)"

"It is a kilometre away from city centre but if you walk a half a kilometer, you will find restaurants, they just won’t have the same energy as the city center, which if you’re looking for a quiet environment is perfect. The staff were super friendly and I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody looking for an out of this world experience."
