Sporades Islands 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!"

"Couldnt fault the place, lovely pool and friendly staff. "

"Helpful staff"

"A bit pricey but to me worth it. Nice beach ,nice breakfast away from the hustle of the town. Buses running to transport to town."

"The hotel is situated less than a 10 minute stroll from the harbour, with great views across to Skopelos town. Little beach in front of hotel which was great for a sea swim. Hotel is exceptionally clean. Very traditional in appearance, if a little dated but it made a nice change from the trend for ultra modern Mykonian white out that many Greek hotels are going for. Staff were very friendly and approachable, from Reception to the Breakfast area. Good choice at Breakfast: hot, cold, fresh fruit, pastries etc. Dining area never felt busy and was nice to have the outdoor terrace to sit on. Garden view room was very spacious, clean and quiet. Yes it could do with a few minor touch ups but nothing major. Pool area had plenty of sunbeds, we didn’t use the pool to swim but thought the pool tiles could do with a good clean. Overall we would be happy to return to this hotel. It offers great value in a wonderful location. Just don’t expect an ‘all bells and whistles’ Four star, more a very good traditional Greek hotel. "

"Good clean accommodation in walking distance of the port. Friendly hosts"

"Right on water near many restaurants and across from town. Very convenient."

"Lovely hotel! Rooms are a small bit dated, but i couldnt fault the staff and their service. Nell and Catherine were so friendly and helpful. I liked that the place is quite small, so it never felt too crowded. Views were spectacular "
