Reduced Occupancy

You may have noticed that although Maistros can technically accommodate up to 14 people, the number of guests is limited to 12. All rooms will be available to guests.

Inside

accommodation at Maistros is spread over three separate buildings: the impressive main house and two smaller guesthouses– the Kalivi and the Studio.

The entrance of the main house takes one into the indoor dining area, whose wood-covered walls and white-painted vaulted ceilings give one the slight sensation of having boarded a luxurious yacht. This feeling is confirmed as one heads into the long well-equipped kitchen with its banks of windows, high ceilings and large range cooker.

The dining room also flows into the voluminous living area, which has two separate sitting areas, one gathered round a fireplace, the other featuring a built-in, L-shaped corner sofa. Numerous windows bring in the light and the sea views, white-painted brick walls ascend to an impressive wood-beamed ceiling, and French doors lead out on to the shady, wrap-around terrace.

Off the left of the living room is a small bedroom with bunk beds, en-suite shower room and access to the surrounding terrace. Next to this bedroom, a spiral staircase takes one down to the lower floor, which is home to the main sleeping quarters of the main house:

• a large double with a unique en-suite bathroom with tub and separate shower;
• a twin bedroom with en-suite shower room;
• another bunk-bed room also with en-suite shower room.

Both the large double bedroom and the bunk room have their own independent access to the surrounding gardens. Accommodation on the lower level of the main house is completed by a sauna.

The fifth bedroom of the main house, a double with a small en-suite shower room, is accessed externally from the lower floor terrace.

The Kalivi, meaning ‘small farm’ in Greek, is the smaller of the two guesthouses. It is situated about 80m from the main house and comprises a bright double bedroom, en-suite shower room and a terrace with spectacular sea views.

The Studio, the second guesthouse, boasts a voluminous double bedroom with curvaceous free-standing bath and a sitting area, and an en-suite shower room. It too has its own tranquil terrace looking out to the property's luxuriant gardens.

Outside

the extensive grounds of Maistros occupy around one hectare of Skopelos' achingly beautiful coastline. The houses nestle amongst a shady canopy of Mediterranean pines, cypress and olive trees and from the outside the main house has something of a tropical lodge about it.

A wide variety of panoramic sitting areas dot the grounds, meaning that guests can spread out and find their own favourite spot for reflection, contemplation, reading and view-watching.

Running round three sides of the main house is a decked terrace furnished for dining and relaxing. Steps lead down from here to a circular, fabulously panoramic terrace, which will possibly become your spot of choice for aperitifs and long dinners under the stars. On the fourth side of the main house is a vine-shaded al fresco dining area served by a wood-fired oven.

A short walk from the main house and close to the Studio is the inviting gated and heated pool, surrounded by sun loungers and shady corners.

Most of the bedrooms in the main house have their own independent access to the gardens and it is from the viewing point near the master bedroom that one may begin one's descent to the beautiful sandy-shingle beach and transparent waters below the house. While heading down the 375 steps, devotees of Mamma Mia! the movie might notice a familiar sight in the distance: the chapel of Agios Ioannis, setting for the famous wedding scene.

Due to the relatively limited number of hydrofoil/ferry connections between Skiathos and Skopelos in the shoulder seasons, we recommend booking morning flights or, alternatively, adding a night in Skiathos town the day before and/or after your time in Skopelos.

No other houses have access to the beach below Maistros, though boats may occasionally drop anchor there.

Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.

The number of steps that must be negotiated to get into and/or around this property might make it unsuitable for people with mobility problems.

The final 2km of the access road to Maistros is a little rough, so we recommend guests hire a 4x4 or one with excellent ground clearance.

Before booking flights, please refer to the ferry and hydrofoil schedule to ensure that your flight lands in time to make a crossing to Skopelos.

Please note that due to the risk of wildfires, the use of fire pits and barbecues is restricted when the weather is windy or temperatures are high. This is particularly common in July and August. More information will be provided in your House Guide and via your local specialist.
