This upscale boutique hotel offers guests beautiful surroundings across the street from a beach and an elegant, relaxing atmosphere. It is an adult-centered hotel -- kids over 13 only -- with a consistently friendly, helpful staff that make guests feel welcome. All 20 rooms are stylishly decorated and well-appointed with king-size beds, furnished outdoor spaces, minibars, and oversized showers, plus some have private outdoor whirlpools. The steep hill and lack of elevators makes some rooms difficult to access, but a beautiful pool and two good restaurants are on lower levels. The scenic and convenient location -- a 15-minute walk from Skiathos town -- are hard to beat. However, for a lovely experience at a more competitive price, consider the Atrium Hotel, farther south on the island.
