A Place For Peace And Tranquility And A Dam Good Bar.
All I can say is that my wife and I never go back to the same place twice, with exception to Jimmys studios. I can quite honestly say that the week we stayed was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday experience we have ever had.
Dimetri and his family are real hosts who look after their guests as if they are a member of the family. The effort that the family put in to make your holiday a great one is second to none.
The location is great for walks into the hills , 5 minutes from the beach and ample places to eat and drink in the evening. Located 5 mins walk from the main island bus route, lets you have oppertunity to explore the island.
How anyone can write a bad rewiew I do not know, the setting is butiful (we over looked Dimetris fathers garden looking at fresh tomatos, lemons and cucubers growing up the trees) The pool is great for quiet relaxing afternoons. The bar is great entertainment, the BBQ once aweek was exceptional and good value for money.
All in all cant wait to get back this year..

Perhaps if you had stayed in a dark, dingy room, with a sinking toilet for a week as we did, perhaps your comment would be totally different. Next time try rooms 12 or 13 and then write a review!!!

I Have Just Spent 3 Weeks At Jimmy's Studios With
I have just spent 3 weeks at Jimmy's studios with my wife Helen, and having read the other reports I feel we must have stayed somewhere else!, as Jimmy's Studios in Platanias, run by Dimitri and his parents, is one of the nicest, cleanest and most pleasant holiday studio/apartment complexes I have ever stayed in. I have been going to Greek Islands for over 25 years and have returned to Skiathos on 14 of those occasions, each time staying at a different location. Jimmy's Studios rates as one of the best I have ever stayed at. Dimitri himself is a very pleasant, helpful, cheerful, friendly guy who works long hours to ensure everyone is happy and relaxed, running his poolside bar from breakfast till well past 1.00 am. His mother and father are lovely pleasant people, helping to run the place and the cleaning lady was very helpful and totally reliable. The rooms are air conditioned, there is a TV if you desire to watch one and all the rooms have balconies. The pool is lovely and clean and there are plenty of beds to soak up the sun on. The studio's are near to the bus route and thus only 5 minutes from the beach. If I was to find fault, it would be that we didn't stay there longer! I can only thank Olympic holidays and Dimitri for giving us a great holiday, thanks guys! Neil Thompson.

Basic, Clean Accommodation But With A Number Of Pr
Basic, clean accommodation but with a number of problems:
1. The toilet stopcock was faulty so it refilled, noisily, all night.
2. The pool was frequently unavailable just when the children wanted to use it due to 'cleaning.'
3. The landlady shouted orders at guests from the courtyard to turn lights off, etc. She could be described as a bossy old battleaxe.
4. The maid refused to clean another room while I was taking a nap, but barged in to do her clean then and there.
5. The room flooded.
6. There was no air conditioning, which should be standard nowadays.
7. The owners' family held frequent noisy and abusive arguments, shouting at full volume across the courtyard.
8. Assuming guests didn't speak Greek, the owners spoke of guests in, shall we say, unflattering terms, also at the top of their lungs.
9. Light bulbs in common areas, which were dark, tiled and thus slippery, mysteriously failed in twos and weren't changed when guests requested.
10. The Olympic representative immediately sided with the owners in every matter, rather than REPRESENTING the paying customer, i.e., the guest.
11. The plumbing was inadequately/not earthed. So if you put your hand under a running tap while the cooker was on, you got a mild shock. Combined with a damp floor, this could be dangerous (see point 5).
12. There was no shower curtain, so anything left in the bathroom got wet when you had a shower.
Having stayed at Jimmy's Studios as recently as 14-28 Sept 2010 there are a number of factors which do not ring true about this report.
Item Nos
2. The pool was always cleaned before 9am before many guests were up and never closed during the course of the day.
3. There is *no courtyard* at these premises and the 'landlady' unlikely to shout orders as she speaks very little English.
6. All rooms have air-conditioning.
7. As 3 above there is *no courtyard* to shout across.
12. I certainly had a shower curtain, but 'wet rooms' are I believe quite fashionable!
In truth I believe this a review of another 'Jimmys Studio' of which there are several in Skiathos.
