From the Guest Book
Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
Jura was beautiful and in the perfect setting - close to a beach and the small harbour. The villa itself was stylish but comfortable and had everything we needed. We were totally charmed by the small island if Alonissos.
Alice Blacker August 2025
Jura is a lovely getaway in a beautiful setting. What stands out are the views and the location.
KM August 2025
Jura is fabulous. Very stylish, spotlessly clean, spacious and in a fantastic location. It was great to be able to walk down the path from the villa to the beach, and to the restaurants and shops in Steni Vala.

The Area
Jura sits above a lovely sandy beach about half way up Alonissos's east coast. The seafront tavernas, amenities and harbour of Steni Vala are about 5 minutes' walk away, making it eminently possible to dine out without ever taking the car. The island's main port, Patitiri, and the historic capital, Alonissos Town, are just a 20-minute drive away.
Despite its diminutive size, 14km long and 4km wide, Alonissos has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to beaches. Arguably the best ones are to be found along the east coast and on the southern tip. One such, just a 10-minute drive north of Jura, is Agios Dimitrios, whose splendid white sands and intense blue waters are irresistible. The north of the island also boasts some idyllic coves and beaches but most of these are only accessible by boat: an excellent reason to rent one for your stay.
Alonissos, its surrounding waters and minor islands, including Peristera, Kyra Panagia, Gioura, Psathoura, Piperi and Skantzoura, form the Alonissos Marine Park, the largest of its kind in Europe. Established in 1992, its 2,250km2 is home to a fascinating variety of flora, fauna, marine life (including Meditteranean monk seals) and unspoilt natural beauty.
Finally, just across the water, is Alonissos's sister Sporades Island, Skopelos, which is highly recommended and easy to get to.
