Great location, lousy service - esp reception. However, great service at Grace Beach Bar.
In a great location in the protected area of the Strofilia Lake, 215 yards from the award-winning Koukounaries Beach, the Mandraki Village Boutique Hotel features a swimming pool and restaurant.

The staff were amazing. Food was great. Service and friendliness of everyone there was top notch. We were there for a bbq Greek dancing evening and it was so much fun! Suffered through a horrendous storm but the staff were so accommodating and gracious. Making everyone as comfortable as possible. Miranda and her staff were amazing. Loved it!!

Great location ,even top class restaurant on site.
This family-run apartment complex is set amid lush green landscape, and right next to the beach of Asselinos. All units have a fully equipped kitchen and a living area.

Nice beach, but a bit overcrowded (in the number of persons / number of sunbeds). Although, in the see you don't feel the crowd.
Koukounaries is a bit far away from Skiathos Town (45 minutes to 1 hour the bus drive). small market shops in koukounaries are very expensive (at least 2 times more than a usual supermarket, while the selection of products is limited).

Koukounaries is a remote village surrounded by forest, 15-30 minutes walk to very beautiful beaches. I missed the seaviews and the nightlife. None of the properties in this area has seaview, because there is a lake and a forest that separates the main road from the beach. I would recommend to rent a car or something else to go to the beaches around. When it is very hot, it is not comfortable to walk 30 minutes under the sun. Bear in mind that the area is full of rats, especially if the property is in the wood. My friends ( 6 families) were staying at Driades and I was terrified to see rats in the garden among children playing. Not to mention at night! ( of course we have photos and videos)
I have eaten at Under the pine, which is nice and at Big Bad Wolf, where we have paid 12 euros for the bread! But the seabass and the lamb chops were perfect.
The beaches nearby are quite beautiful. My favorite was Mandraki Elias. Agia Eleni is a nice beach, too. Koukounaries is very crowded, but it is ok to go for a day or two.

Koukounaries is a fairly long road with relatively few properties, it's basically a big pine forest surrounded by a dozen beautiful beaches... there's at least two brilliant bars, more restaurants.
Great bus service, 20 minutes to town.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in.
Worst hotel I have ever stayed in. No reflection of the photos on Booking.com and a complete scam. Our room had been double booked and we were told our only option was to sleep in a room allocated to staff with a broken shower, no aircon and ripped /dirty curtains.
Promised a 60% refund only to be told upon our return to the UK that this wouldn't happen.
Arranged with the hotel to be collected by the hotel from the airport to only wait 2 hours before being told make your own way.
Completely missold based on the profile and images on Booking

It is a small resort at the far end of the island with a few Taverna’s and a gorgeous beach
It has a water taxi from the beach to Skiathos town and buses every 10 mins to get around the island.
The tavernas are varied and a couple of bar’s one of which is mostly English and sells cocktails and English breakfasts, which personally I want to avoid when in the beautiful Greek islands.
Greek food and hospitality is amazing and I like to appreciate local dishes, Souv Lake was a lovely gyros cafe bar, on the way to the beach.
Would definitely recommend the area and would return, although for night life you are best to get the bus into town.
Situated in a peaceful pine forest, 10 minute walk away from the main road. The rooms are a bit outdated, but provide everything you need. There is Georges bar at the premises with George being an awesome host. We would cheer for Greece and Slovenia basketball teams on Eurobasket 2022 when the games were on, otherwise spent evenings over a few beers with George and other guest. Guests have an option of BBQ also. A really pleasant place to stay. Thanks for great holidays to all the staff. Best regards from Slovenia.
Gorgeous, clean, comfortable studio apartment with in lovely grounds. Always a lovely welcome from Rula and Dimitri! Great bar behind serving full range of drinks including cocktails.
The location is brilliant too- 8 beaches within walking distance- the nearest 5 minutes walk away and some through beautiful forest tracks. Good variety of restaurants nearby and the bus into Skiathos runs every 10 minutes to 1 am. 3 euros per journey. There is also a water taxi from Koukanaries beach 6 euros. Couldn’t ask for more.
We were pleasantly surprised with a completely unexpected and beautiful upgrade to the Nest Infinity room with a hot tub. Staff is very kind, friendly and accommodating! The selection of different areas and beaches in the resort is unmatched - you can watch both - sunrise and sunset from the beaches reached by foot or a complementary buggy. Food and coffee were great. Housekeeping and hot tub cleaning were done exemplary well! Our chihuahua dog travelling with us also had one of the best times of her life!
The accommodation is situated in a quiet environment surrounded by a large garden with beautiful pine trees. The noise of the main road can almost not be heard at all. The room was well equipped and had a pleasant temperature. Koukounaries beach is easily approachable on foot through the trail along Strophilia lake. There are plenty of restaurants nearby as well as a supermarket. Bus stop 24 is 1-2 mins on foot. The owner/cleaning lady was very nice.
The position on the beach is wonderful and your own pool if you don’t fancy getting sandy feet. Stathis has been great as has the gentleman who maintains the outside each day. This is the best place we’ve ever stayed in Greece bar none. Book this property, you won’t regret it. Amazing views, watch the sea, watch the goat herd that comes down the mountain each day for about an hour at teatime. Facilities are ideal and the beds were firm but comfortable.
The location is awesome, if you just need to explore the Koukounaries area. Using a car is optional, really. Quite a few beaches are within walking distance and the beach of Koukounaries (suitable and very popular with families / kids) is just a couple of minutes away. The view from my room was great, I truly enjoyed it. The owner was very kind and helpful and a bottle of decent wine came as a welcome gift.
The hotel is perfectly located with access to 4 beautiful sandy beaches. You don't have to worry about finding space on the beach no matter how late you go.
The whole area is very green and gives you the opportunity to properly relax.
The Grace rooms are spacious, well arranged and with beautiful terraces overlooking the sea.
All beach bars are very nice with large sunbeds and friendly staff.
everything was amazing. the main manager was extremely nice and helpful. We enjoyed the great accommodation, the pool and the outdoor bar. A very very nice beach is only a short distance from the apartment and there is easy bus access to the capital city of Skiathos. We felt wonderful and will definitely come back. Thank you for a vacation like in paradise.
Beautiful setting, away from the main road but close to mini Market and several tavernas. Within walking distance of several beaches. Regular bus service to Skiathos Town. Alex and his mum were so friendly and helpful with anything we needed, and the studio was cleaned every other day.
It is located in a forest, that’s why it was cooler in the hot summer. The property is also close to two of the most famous beaches in Skiathos island - Koukounaries and Banana beach. It is very clean and the staff are doing great job.
Excellent location, the bus stops just outside. Tassos the owner was so friendly and helpful, he met us on arrival and gave us tips for where to go and eat. Very close walking distance to all the best beaches of Skiathos.
Fab location
Fab breakfast
Average bathroom and facilities
we will come back again next year when they will renovate it
across koukounaries and Ayia Eleni beach which is so convenient
good toast by the way
The whole experience was excellent
We’ve stayed at many other hotels on this Island but this hotel was the stand out winner in all areas….and it does not rest on its reputation like the Princess Hotel
The location is the only reason this hotel must rate as a 4 star. The public areas have all been nicely renovated and modernized. The pool deck is stunning and the view is outstanding.
The location is excellent. So close to Koukounaries & Agia Eleni beaches. I would like to include breakfast. The tavern inside Strophilia Apartments is incredible.
