Natura Luxury Boutique Hotel Skopelos

My husband and I stayed at Natura for 7 days in Mid May. We ended up extending our stay because we just couldn’t make ourselves leave. If you’re looking for a luxury get away to recharge yourself, Natura Boutique Hotel will do just that. For starters: the cleanliness of the whole hotel was wonderful. Our room was adorable with a beautiful view and serviced daily with everything that we needed and a wonderful, relaxing shower. The area of Loutraki is quiet (which is what I personally needed at 7 months pregnant) and visited by sweet cats from the island daily. Being an animal lover, I worried that staff wouldn’t welcome these little visitors but they did! The cats were met with sweet talk and love every day. We all know by now that you can tell a lot about people by how they treat animals, and this place was no exception. There are feed stations down the street from the hotel where the cats are free to eat with the help of donations from tourists and the caring residents of Loutraki. We left a donation of cat food that was delivered from the local market to Natura that I highly encourage everyone to do during their stay. Like their caretakers, the cats were respectful of all the visitors. The morning times at Natura are met with soft, soothing music, a fantastic view of the nice, calm harbor, and if you’re lucky, a few friendly cat visitors near the dock. The nighttime’s are just as peaceful and serene. There is an amazing fresh seafood restaurant in walking distance, Vrahos Restaurant, down the street from Natura that is a must try. As for the staff, I will never have enough words to describe how welcoming and wonderful the staff here is. I’ve never known or seen anything like it. Everyone is extremely professional, helpful, kind, and just all around amazing people. There was never a care in the world with Eleni and Eva taking care of us and our unborn son every day that we were there. They made me feel like I belonged there. Not only did we fall in love with the sweet cats of Loutraki, the town of Glossa, and the beautiful Natura Boutique Hotel, we fell in love with the people and the community and will forever be grateful for this trip. We can’t wait to go back with our little one!

Amazing stay, romantic dinners on the water, great hikes, picturesque village to explore, incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and must do Momma Mia tour of the chapel on the rock and beautiful beaches! The breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed a very special Easter meal with the traditional lamb bbq and lamb stew. Highly recommend Natura!

Absolutely amazing service with detail to attention on every level. I found a fabulous arrangement of flowers in the room for my birthday and on top of that the number 50 in my bed made with petals. My husband that likes this kind of stuff more than I do couldn’t believe it. We’ve been in many places especially around Europe never expected that level of service. George at reception is the nicest person you need to see in front of you any time of day to help you without hesitation offering help and advice for your best time ever. Food at the restaurant of the hotel was great with my favourite lobster pasta like no other. The elevated position of the pool is my place to live there forever having beautiful cocktails from Georgia. Congratulations to the whole team. Pamela Tsarouxa

Stayed here for 4 days as a base to visit the ‘MamaMia’ film locations. It’s a superb boutique hotel. Clean, contemporary with a real laid back, chilled, spa vibe. It’s conveniently located a few minutes strolled from Glossa port and amenities. You can take your breakfast, which is buffet and had an extensive choice, right next to the water. Dinner is also served here but we opted to try the local tavernas. Our room was on the front and had a balcony with full sea view. It also had a very unique open plan bathroom which I really liked. Pool is on the top floor, it’s infinity style with gorgeous views. Two deep steps to enter at one end (I did fall in on the first day using these but didn’t hurt myself) and gradual steps at the other end which I opted to use thereafter. The pool offers fabulous views across the bay, has plenty of sun loungers and shaded seating areas to enjoy a drink, respite from the sun or some light bites. I must mention Georgia who works poolside. She was happy, attentive and always greeted us with a smile. I don’t know if it’s because we were outside peak season but we felt like the pool was just ours. Hardly anyone else there. Now I must mention the wonderful reception team of Elena, Nicholas and Yiorgos. They simply could not do enough for us. From before we had even arrived they offered a private water taxi for us from Skiathos. And arranged this for us. Were there to meet us at the port and help with our luggage - even though it was a two minute walk they picked us up in the mini bus. From explaining all about the island and where to visit, organising a shuttle to the hotels newly opened Beach Club Paraiso (see separate review - a must visit) taxis to allow us to visit the MamaMia church before the crowds, and help with bus timetable. They are probably the most friendly, helpful reception team I have ever come across in all my years of travelling! Overall a fabulous experience. It’s hard to find fault with anything but a few things that would be the cherry on top of the cake: 1. Consider opening the pool to guests before 11am - say 10am 2. Offer guests a welcome drink upon arrival - we had been travelling for over 14 hours when we arrived 3. Fabric softener for towels which were a little crispy. Great for drying but not so good on sun kissed skin. These are not complaints, just an opportunity for an even better experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and would love to go back. Thank you for a great holiday.
