Vigles Sea View, Philian Hotels and Resorts
Skiathos|0.52km from Skiathos Airport "Alexandros Papadiamantis"
This small hotel is in a peaceful location with stunning sea views over Skiathos Town. There are also views over the airport, but there are not lots of flights and they are not at unsociable times. Our first impression was that the room and a few other areas would have benefited from a bit of updating, but it was not to the level it was a problem at all. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed and pillows, along with being kept very clean by the friendly cleaner. Supplied in the room was a hairdryer, kettle, shower gel, shampoo and soap. The pool area was lovely and it was always easy to get a comfortable sunlounger or day bed whatever time of day, even though the hotel was full. Pool towels were supplied. There was a good selection of food at breakfast, that was available from 7am to 10am and you could request a latte or cappuccino, which were both great. We had lunch at the hotel a couple of times and it was always good. We found all the staff to be really friendly and helpful and really liked the little dog Melody too. There were a few cats around the hotel, that we loved, but I understand not everyone does. They did not seem to bother people that weren’t interested in them though. The hotel is up quite a steep hill. We walked into town a few times, which took about 20 minutes to the harbour, but always got a taxi back up. As there is a lovely restaurant about 5 minutes down the road it would be easy to stay close to the hotel if you wanted to. We didn’t hire any transportation as with visiting close after the storm we were told the roads to the north were not really drivable. The bus service along the south of the island is very good and we used it a few times. The hotel transportation service was very good, often more reasonable in price than a taxi with a excellent driver. Overall we absolutely loved our stay and were sad to leave this lovely place.
Excellent
