Villa Kentavros Fully private pool villa away from it all!

Villa Kentavros is ideal for the people looking for a romantic and peaceful get-a-way, whilst being close to the amenities of Skopelos Town, only 10 minutes away by car.
It is the perfect spot for walkers, with easy access to many trails, as well as for painters who will appreciate the wonderful scenery from Pefkias hillside.


Surroundings:

Villa Kentavros is one of three fully private villas set in their own grounds in the peaceful area of Pefkias, on the hillside above Skopelos Town. Kentavros has its own driveway and sits above Villa Arktos and next to villa Pegasus. It is surrounded by pine forests while it oversees the Skopelos harbor and the Aegean. The villa is completely private and not overlooked by the other two villas. Villa Kentavros is situated in the area of Pefkias, on the hillside above Skopelos Town (about 10 minutes by car) and enjoys fantastic views down the lush wooded valley to Skopelos harbor and the sea beyond.

Interior:

Entry into this simple but beautiful villa, is to the open plan living / dining room, with comfortable furnishings and French windows, leading out to the front terrace which looks down the wooded valley to Skopelos Town and the sea beyond. Off to one side of the living room is a well equipped kitchen, complete with dishwasher and a separate wc. French windows from here also lead to the front terrace with with a small dining table for alfresco meals. A doorway from the kitchen leads to a specious double bedroom and en suite wc/shower room with windows from which to admire the stunning views. This unique and enchanting house is entered into the sitting room which is open plan with the kitchen and a small w/c. This one-level house is decorated in rich colored walls, terra cotta floors and dark wood-beamed ceilings. The room is furnished with a comfortable sofa (which converts to a bed for extra sleeping for 2 persons) and two couches and tables with views to the harbor from the spacious windows.

The couches with soft big pillows add to the warm and comforting atmosphere. From this room there is a French door leading to a roomy terrace with the same lovely views and has access to the swimming pool. The spacious open-plan kitchen is located off the living room which is equipped with full size cooker/oven and all modern conveniences. There is a breakfast table, but most meals will probably be taken on the terrace which is furnished with an ample dining table and comfortable chairs.

A small w/c is located between the living room and the kitchen.


Exterior:


The exterior walls have being painted in bright colors, a technique taken from ancient times and which complement
the surroundings. There is a BBQ and outside dining table with the private swimming pool and spacious pool terrace to one side of the house and close to the shady pergola.

Beautiful villa and the perfect Greek holiday
We spent an amazing week at the villa. It could not have been more perfect. The location is amazing, the island is beautiful and Dimitris was really helpful throughout the whole process. The only bad thing was having to come home!

Honeymoon Stay In Skopelos
Staying in this villa was the perfect experience for our honeymoon. The villa offers privacy on the side of the mountain with an easy trip down to Skopelos town. There are several amazing hikes on the island and the location of this villa allows for easy access to other towns. Dimitris is a superb host and his hospitality is excellent. Words cannot explain the experience that this villa offers! Definitely recommend picking this villa for your next vacation!

very good
We had a great holiday in Skopelos and a lovely stay at Pegasus cottage. We were particularly impressed with the level of comunication with Dimitris and his team on the island and nothing seemed to be to much trouble. Our cottage was very clean and well looked after and the cleaning service excellent. There were great beaches (loved limnonari) and tavernas very nearby for those lazy days with just a book. Good restuarants (Rodi and Perivoli were our favourites-must book) all in all after the hustle and bustle of the UK this was a great holiday break. Issue with the wasps but am assured it was an excepional year for the blighters. Would I go back, one year definatly. Mike & Alison

Slice of paradise!
We chose to spend our honeymoon at Villa Kentavros and it was the best decision we made (other than getting married!)! :-) it was so beautiful and romantic! We loved that it was quiet and peaceful. All you could hear were the goats on the hills and the insect songs. We enjoyed the pool every day, and backgammon on the beautiful terrace with a view. Dimitris was extremely helpful and welcoming. He helped us rent a car, rent a boat and enjoy the island to its fullest. We especially recommend Taverna Fotini, which is a 5 minute walk down the road. Mrs. Fotini is a great cook and a very sweet lady! We will really miss this special place and hope to be back soon! Thank you for everything, Dimitris!

Fantastic holidays in a fantastic villa
My wife and me were already often to Greece and its islands during the last 25 years. But this time we found a real treasure. The very green Island of skopelos with a beautiful small Villa named „kentavros“. There - situated on the hills above skopelos-Town - you will find this perfect mediterranian-style house with an overwhelming view over the forest onto the Town and its Port to the sea. The size is right for 2-4 Persons and you find anything you need from a clean 4x7 Pool to a smaller kitchen with refrigerator, oven and other needful things - all in good shape. There is a large, open living room with several Sofas, a Sat-TV and W-LAN. As we are Germans we missed a German TV Programm, but that was no real problem, because we felt at Home there. If you need a calm and perfect residence for your Greek holidays with a nice small town nearby (only 10 minutes by car away - you surely need a car!!!) with lots of very good restaurants and nice shops and with an island with many beautiful beaches only few miles away - don‘t look any further!!! And the best of all: the very polite and gentle owner Mr. Dimitris Bessilas and his collaborators, Mr. Kosma and his family. If you got any problem, they´re only a phone call away and you can consider it done as soon as possible. From our arrival at the port with the ferryboat to our departure - everything was so well organized, that you felt welcome as a close friend. Everything was treated serious and fair, from the first SMS-contact before our holidays to the last moments when we returned the keys (with a deep sigh). For that we have to thank Mr. Bessilas and his helping hands again so much. We are sure to come back to skopelos, the villa „kentavros“ and it’s gentle people in the nearer future. ... by the way - all fotos you see in the advertisement represent truly the reality. You get what you see!!! We can only deeply recommend this object and its owner for your holiday. It were fantastic holidays in a fantastic villa.

Séjour agréable, villa fidèle à la description.
Excellente communication avec Dimitris qui a pris de nos nouvelles quotidiennement. La villa était fidèle en tous points à la description de l’annonce. Un peu rustique mais idéale pour une petite famille (nous avons deux enfants de 7 et 10 ans). Correctement équipée pour cuisiner ou recevoir des amis. La piscine était aussi très appréciable! Dans l’ensemble, nous avons passé un très agréable séjour.

a relaxing getaway
The villa is set up high in the hills looking down on Skopelos town. It is quiet, and in a remote location but with a car you are quickly in the lively town below. We had a wonderful holiday and do not hesitate to recommend the villa and the more than welcoming and helpful host, Dimitris, to anyone wishing to escape to an idyllic, peaceful setting.

Tolles Haus, hervorragender Vermieter
Für und das perfekte Haus, Ausstattung neuwertig, alles in ausreichender Menge vorhanden. Man fühlte sich gleich willkommen, im Kühlschrank war schon eine kleine Grundausstattung. Einzig das Bett ist auf Dauer hart. Der Pool mit dem Blick zum Hafen ist genial, man hört den gesamten Tag das angenehme Läuten der Ziegenherde und hat den Geruch von Kräutern und Pinienwald in der Nase. Der guten Seele des Hauses, Herrn Kosma, wollen wir besonders Danken. Außergewöhnlich auch der Vermieter. Obwohl er nicht vor Ort ist, merkt man, dass es ihm wichtig ist, dass sich seine Gäste Wohlfühlen. Wir wünschen ihm mit seinem Nachbarn alles Gute.
