The best self-catering accomm. we've used in Greece. And we're frequent visitors, over the years. Great value, too. A hidden gem, but a 10-minute walk from the main street in Skiathos Town, and 4 minutes from La Piscine Hotel, which serves up great meals, cheap daytime snacks, and lets you use their pool if you buy a couple (or more) of drinks. (The hotel has music 2 nights a week, which you may not like if you hear it across the fields separating Vanessa 2 from the hotel. We liked it, as we sat on our huge, glass-fronted balcony, sipping our drinks. Which weren't bedtime cocoa.) A decent sized room, modern, in 40 shades of taupe / greige, with all you'll need to self-cater, if you really want to. I can't remember if there is a bed sette for a child. Big fridge to chill your drinks. Smallish but perfectly acceptable shower room / WC. Nearby mini-market or two, and access to the ring road if you take a car with you. We were offered lifts from and to the airport (about just a mile away = easy transfers by Dritan and Linda) - saving lots of stress about taxis ariving on time, etc. Thanks! Highly, highly recommended - and I never usually recommend anything! FYI - Vanessa 1 (not 2) is slightly bigger and similar, but with a front-facing balcony, so the balcony view's not as good, but it's a close secons and we'd be very happy to go back to either. There is also a full floor - more like a full-size flat - up for rental, for families, rather than couples. Lower ground level = the family/owners Upper ground level = Vanessa 1 and 2 rentals, both self-contained with separate entrances and separate balconies. Top floor = full floor large family flat rental __________ Dritan and Linda - if you see this, we were the couple with the battery 'Christmas fairy lights' out on the balcony in August, a couple of years ago. ; - )

Wow, what can I say about Vanessa Studios? On the outskirts of Skiathos Town, these apartments are modern and comfortable and in a great location, nestled between Greek families and other holiday lets. The owners live on-site and could not do enough for us, including picking us up from the airport! We thought that was a lovely gesture. Linda and her family were great hosts and their hospitality was the difference between a good holiday and a great holiday. Skiathos Town is an easy 500 metres walk and bus stop number 3 was about 200 metres away. We hired a car to get to our favourite beaches at the other end of the island but it's not really a necessity. We will definitely be going back to these apartments. :-)

C'è una sola parola per descrivere Vanessa Studios: ECCELLENTE. L'appartamento è nuovo, spazioso, confortevole e rifinito benissimo. I proprietari sono molto gentili, premurosi, molto attenti alle nostre esigenze ma senza essere invadenti e sempre rispettosi della privacy. Il servizio di pulizia viene garantito ogni giorno ed è ottimo! È in una posizione molto tranquilla ma allo stesso tempo strategica per raggiungere il centro di skiathos town in circa 7/8 minuti a piedi. C'è anche la possibilità di parcheggiare auto o moto. Per me e la mia ragazza sono stati 7 giorni INDIMENTICABILI, consigliamo a tutti di prenotare i Vanessa Studios!! There is only one word to describe Vanessa Studios: EXCELLENT. The apartment is new, spacious, comfortable and well finished. The owners are very kind, caring, they pay attention to guest's needs without being intrusive and always respecting the privacy. A cleaning service is provided daily and it is great! It is in a very quiet location but at the same time strategic to reach the skiathos town center in about 7/8 minute walk. There is also the possibility to park a car or motorbike. For me and my girlfriend were UNFORGETTABLE seven days, we definitely suggest everyone to book the Vanessa Studios !!
