Idyllic Romantic Hideaway on Beautiful Skopelos
We spent a blissful ten days at Mulberry Tree and couldn't have been happier. The setting, the views, the weather, the privacy, the friendly welcome and the beautiful island of Skopelos, well we just fell in love with the place all over again. Yes it's rural and rustic, don't expect the Ritz, but it has it's own magic and we loved it. The cottage is basic and traditional, but clean and welcoming and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bedroom is spacious with an amazing wooden vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, and has a triple aspect if you count the door to the outside steps. Stunning views in all directions. The bed on a stage is so comfortable and the bedding soft as silk. We slept really well and woke to the most amazing birdsong. The kitchen is quaint and clean and has more than we needed for our stay. We tended to eat out most of the time as there is so much choice and variety from beachside tavernas to rooftop restaurants, and it needn't be expensive if you're careful. We went in the pool every day, it's small but enough to put in some lengths if you're keeping fit. The bath with handheld shower could do with updating, but it's more than adequate, hot water plentiful, and the towels are fab. There is plenty of room on the large sink surround for storing toiletry bags and toiletries. Gianni and Pipitsa the owners are wonderful and their thoughtful surprises of breakfast hot pies and home made cherry sauce to take home were so lovely. We'd love to go back there, it's a very special place, and we're totally smitten with the Island. With the two neighbouring cottages a short walk away, but not too close ( you can barely see them) it would be a great place for a group of friends or family to go, where couples prefer some privacy but could all gather together at times. I wouldn't recommend it for families with young children because of the steep walls and open sided pool, but for couples wanting a beautiful and secluded romantic hideaway it's perfect.
